SUMMARY:Building Identities in the Northern Iroquoian Longhouse - John L. 
 Creese

CONTACT:Mark Sapwell
DESCRIPTION:I will present evidence for enduring connections between the s
 patial disposition of routine domestic practices\, and the constitution of
  personhood\, power\, and community in a North American 'Neolithic' societ
 y. The spatial order of Iroquoian longhouse life was\, I suggest\, integra
 l to the process of defining and naturalizing dualistic or 'conjoint' idea
 ls of personhood and power in a wider context of sedentarization and villa
 ge development. Specifically\, the peculiar multivalent quality of longhou
 se space seems to have been productively engaged in mediating tensions bet
 ween part and whole\, ego and collective\, that lay at the heart of Northe
 rn Iroquoian social reproduction.\n
