- W1608532460 abstract "In this article I discuss a genre of stories circulating in contemporary Vanuatu that tells of mysterious routes to wealth through attainment and possession of ‘the diamond’ in one of its myriad forms. Examples of these stories are given, and the genre is discussed with reference to changes in the economic and labouring activities of ni-Vanuatu, particularly in the pre-independence plantation economy. While possession of the diamond may lead to undreamed-of wealth, in the majority of the stories the recipient fails to abide by the necessary conditions of secrecy, and usually loses their newly gained prosperity. The links between ‘magic’ and wealth production described by Alfred Gell are discussed, in addition to the ways in which the magical might be used as a metonym for the ‘double binds’ of modernity. Drawing on Neil Maclean's distinction between freedom and autonomy in Melanesia, the article concludes with reflections on how ni-Vanuatu might find a ‘self of value’ amid changed economic conditions and their social corollaries." @default.
