Fredrik Barth, The Guru and the Conjurer: Transactions in Knowledge and the Shaping of Culture in Southeast Asia and Melanesia, Man, 25, 4, (1990) pp. 640-653. Read its short review here.
In this paper, Barth compares two different modes of cultural/knowledge transmission in the Baktaman of Papua New Guinea on the one hand, and Bhutan and Bali on the other. He describes two different strategies of transmission of religious knowledge in Bhutan and Bali as the ‘Guru’ mode, and as ‘Conjurer’ mode to the one practiced in the Baktaman. In the former system, a teacher is eager to teach to anyone so as to gain prestige. Quite the opposite is true in the Conjurer system where a teacher’s prestige is made by knowing many secrets but keeping them secret. The secret wisdom is imparted to a handful who had gone through a difficult initiation process in demonstration of their worth.
