Across a large region of Highland PNG there are flourishing traditions of chanted tales. These are the subject of a current ARC Discovery project based at ANU, which focuses on both the poetic features of these genres and on their political uses. We seek to augment this project through the participation of Dr. Joseph Ketan, an anthropologist with unique qualifications in that he comes from the project area, with an insider's knowledge of a local genre of chanted tales and its contexts of use in electoral campaigns, and with extensive previous research in relevant areas of political anthropology. The project will contribute to the cross-cultural study of verbal art, and to and the understanding of contemporary electoral politics in PNG.

在巴布亚新几内亚高地的一大片地区，有着繁荣的吟唱故事的传统。这些都是目前在澳大利亚国立大学的ARC发现项目的主题，该项目侧重于这些流派的诗歌特征及其政治用途。约瑟夫·凯坦博士是一位人类学家，具有独特的资格，因为他来自项目地区，对当地一种吟诵故事的类型及其在竞选活动中的使用背景有内幕了解，并在政治人类学的相关领域进行了广泛的研究。该项目将有助于语言艺术的跨文化研究，并有助于了解巴布亚新几内亚的当代选举政治。
