  This essay focuses on how certain social relations among the Bedamini in Papua New Guinea are given their form through ritual at selected moments of the life cycle when relational transformations occur. Ritualised moments in Bedamini male initiation and symbolic bride capture are described as a dynamic agency that changes the existential conditions of persons in non-ritual reality. At those important ritual moments, the direct presence of the agents is required, while relations between them are mediated by acts, objects and moods. The effect intended is the formation, or reformation, of a relational field. Male initiation and marriage are consecutive parts of a sequence of transformations beyond its constituent moments, as initiation functions as a prerequisite to marriage.

  This chapter deals with forms of collective self-identification among the To po Uma of Central Sulawesi. The house is tentatively disclosed as the concretized locus of social identity. The general question is: what is it that reveals a sense of co-belonging for the people in central Sulawesi that forms the basis of a common social identity? This provokes a general assessment of the concept of self-identification. The specific question in search of an answer is as follows: How is it that the concept used for 'village' is the same as the mame for the fundament of logs on which houses rest? That path leads into the concept of place and an assessment of locality in the social organization of self with others.
