Memory, Materiality and an Anthropology of the Senses in North Western South Australia Diana Jane Barbara Young University College London Submitted in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2001 4. Abstract The thesis aims to establish the importance of the colours of things, to material culture and social theory. This re-examination of colour in anthropology, is necessitated by recent developments in cognitive and material culture theory. Research on memory and on material culture has shown that things embody social processes. It is argued that colour must be considered in relation to other senses. This research was undertaken through field work with Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people (Aangu) in and around the Western Desert Aboriginal community of Ernabella. The thesis makes a major new contribution to the anthropology of landscape in Aboriginal Australia, arguing that colours manifest temporal concepts and link Dreaming species to such concepts through their colours. Links between colour and odour, tactility and emotion transmitting stable concepts about land, are particularly elucidated. Field data shows that peoples colour cognition is not constrained by language, and that colour terms are used predominantly to articulate contrasts or difference between colours. In the third section it is established that colours are crucial in determining the efficacy of social action and in constituting identity. It is argued that colour is considered potent as surface on cars, clothes and other non-indigenous artefacts and hence as a mediator between people and between people and country. Lastly, this thesis establishes the importance of colour to the anthropology of art, through an analysis of the Ernabella Walka or design. This imagery is examined in terms of the possibilities created by the introduction of novel pigments. The Walka is established as an articulation of identity through synchronic religious concepts, transmitted through the dynamics of colours.
