Final answer:
Joel Robbins argues against Roy A. Rappaport in the article by challenging Rappaport's understanding of how Christianity affects the Urapmin culture's desire and their ecology.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the article "Dispossessing the Spirits: Christian Transformation of Desire and Ecology Among the Urapmin of Papua New Guinea," Joel Robbins argues against Roy A. Rappaport in relation to the topic of Christian transformation of desire and ecology. Robbins challenges Rappaport's understanding of how Christianity affects the Urapmin culture, particularly in terms of desire and their relationship with their environment.
Robbins focuses on the dynamic between Christian conversion, desire, and ecological changes among the Urapmin people. While Rappaport's analysis often centered on the ecological aspects of ritual and belief, Robbins challenges this by highlighting the complexities derived from the Urapmin's engagement with Christianity, which involves a deep transformation of their desires and ecological practices.
