Bronislaw Malinowski described essentials of this eschatology in his articles "Baloma: the Spirits of the Dead in the Trobriand Islands" and "Myth in Primitive Psychology". There he also presented the Trobrianders' belief that a "baloma" can be reborn; he claimed that Trobrianders are unaware of the father's role as genitor. This volume presents a critical review of Malinowski's ethnography of Trobriand eschatology – finally settling the "virgin birth" controversy. It also documents the ritualized and highly poetic "wosi milamala" – the harvest festival songs. They are sung in an archaic variety of Kilivila called "biga baloma" – the baloma language. Malinowski briefly refers to these songs but does not mention that they codify many aspects of Trobriand eschatology. The songs are still sung at specific occasions; however, they are now moribund. With these songs Trobriand eschatology will vanish. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/clu.5.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027202871.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027202871.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/clu.5.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/clu.5.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/clu.5.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/clu.5.hb.png 01 01 JB code clu.5.00ack 06 10.1075/clu.5.00ack ix xii 4 Article 1 01 04 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments 01 eng 01 01 JB code clu.5.02int 06 10.1075/clu.5.02int xiii xvii 5 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Introduction Introduction 01 eng 01 01 JB code clu.5.01dea 06 10.1075/clu.5.01dea 1 14 14 Article 3 01 04 Chapter 1.
