The interpretive framework is a synthesis of existential phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and archetypal psychology articulated through the cosmo-ontological specificities of the Yagwoia life-world. The paper elucidates the dynamics and originality of the Yagwoia sense of the world as a self-generative bodily totality (world-body) which incessantly reproduces itself through its internal constitutive parts, individual humans and their group-containers. This dynamic is simultaneously self-devouring and self-copulating. Its most apposite characterisation is the archetypal image of ouroboros, the serpent that eats its own tail. Following the ontological clarifications of the Yagwoia-Angan life-world the main theme of the paper unfolds as a hermeneutic synthesis of concrete ethnographic descriptions and critical interpretations of the Yagwoia existential process made manifest in concrete experiences and practices of the living and the dead. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Oceania is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
