Description
Piot, piot, piot. Everyday piot. I'm so sick and tired of piot.' [Isidore 12 June 1998, in English] Piot was one of the great puzzlements of my fieldwork in the Lihir Islands, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea. It was a concept I heard used continuously throughout my time in Lihir once it had been brought to my attention about six weeks after my arrival. While relations are clearly crucial for the compositions of persons in Lihir, recent theories of relational or socio-centric personhood in Melanesia are not able to fully illuminate piot. Instead piot is one instance which reveals both the relational and individualistic aspects of personhood in Lihir, particularly expressed through themes of fixedness in place and mobility.
