本文考察了大洋洲仪式文物的沉积和破坏，并将清除行为置于祭祀的仪式经济中。一个流行的替代对象销毁涉及销售的对象作为一种方式，使它缺席，并把它变成知识产权和图像为基础的财产，而在同一时间引发的可能性，为不明回报的交换，我们已经成为一个相当不知情的一部分。因此，单一文化地区的大量人种学或考古学收藏品可能不仅反映了西方对这些收藏品中所代表的人工制品的兴趣程度，而且也是仪式工作的症状，这种仪式工作的结果是形成了不可分割的物体、不可分割的图像和一种财产形式，众所周知，这种财产的智力、生殖和繁殖性质构成了太平洋彼岸独立的基础。
This paper examines the deposition and destruction of ritual artefacts in Oceania and positions the act of riddance in the ritual economy of sacrifice. A popular alternative to object destruction involves the sale of the object as a way to render it absent, and turning it into intellectual and image-based property, while at the same time eliciting the possibility for unspecified returns within an exchange of which we have become a part quite unknow ingly. Large ethnographic or archaeological collections of single cultural areas may thus not just reflect the degree of western interest in artefacts represented in such collections, but is symptomatic of ritual work which results in the fashioning of alienable objects, inalienable images and a form of property whose intellectual, generative and reproductive nature is known to have formed the basis for independence across the Pacific.
