Northwest Coast Ceremonialism: The Works of J.A. Jacobsen (1853-1947)
No full textJohan Adrian Jacobsen (1853-1947), a Norwegian sailor, spent much of the 1880s collecting ethnographic specimens for traveling shows and museums. His most well known collections were from the Arctic and Northwest Coast of North America. In an attempt to publicize his adventures and legitimize his collections for scholars and curators, he wrote a few articles in German about the people he had visited, especially the so-called secret societies among the Nuxalk [Bella Coola] and Kwakwaka’wakw [Kwakiutl]. Although somewhat amateurish, these reports represent a transition in genre between travel accounts and professional ethnography, and are valuable for informing our understanding of early Northwest Coast anthropology. The translation of the works of Jacobsen from the original German was done by Richard Bland (University of Oregon). The original illustrations mentioned in the introduction could not be reproduced here

The Kosiyut Society of the Bella Coola Indians
No full textIn an article in Das Ausland No. 47, 1891, entitled “Travel Reports from Unknown Parts of British Columbia” by Philipp Jacobsen, repeated mention is made of the god Kosiyut, and therefore it may be of interest to learn more about the god and the secret society named after him. Although the inhabitants of the Northwest Coast of America are collectively distinguished by a strict adherence to tradition, this conservative trait is most apparent in the residents of the stretch of coast from the S..

Energieverloop en golfopstuwing bij brekende onregelmatige golven: Metingen en berekeningen
No full textA description is given of a model developed for the prediction of the dissipation of energy in random waves breaking on a beach. The dissipation rate per breaking wave is estimated from that in a bore of corresponding height, while the probability of occurrence of breaking waves is estimated on the basis of a wave height distribution with an upper cut-off which in shallow water is determined mainly by the local depth. A comparison with measurements of wave height decay and set-up, on a plane beach and on a beach with a bar-trough profile, indicates that the model is capable of predicting qualitatively and quantitatively all the main features of the data. A summary of this thesis is published as: Battjes, J.A., Janssen, J.P.F.M. (1978) Energy loss and set-up due to breaking random waves, proc.
