  • Gonna Drink, Get Drunk a History and Ethnography of Alcohol in Rarotonga, Cook Islands
    Gonna Drink, Get Drunk A History and Ethnography of Alcohol in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Vaughn Koops Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2002 Key Centre for Women’s Health in Society Department of Public Health The University of Melbourne DECLARATION This is to certify that (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. …………………………………………………………………………. ii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the place of alcohol in the lives of people from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It incorporates historical and ethnographic analyses to provide the broad context of drinking by people aged from their teens to late thirties. The historical component of this study describes specific accounts of alcohol consumption, and situates these with regard to changes that occurred in Rarotonga from the early 19th century. Prior to contact with Papa’a (Europeans), people of Rarotonga neither produced nor consumed alcoholic beverages. Thus, the use of alcohol was a phenomenon intimately bound up with global exploration, proselytisation and trade. I trace historical changes in the distribution of power, resources, religious practice, and social discourse, and show how alcohol practice, distribution, and trade was linked to these changes from missionary contact onward. This history informs the ethnography of contemporary drinking practices. Individual and group practices and understandings of alcohol are described. I also describe the contribution of state policy, commercial interests, government institutions, and religious organisations to the place of alcohol in Rarotonga.

    Fiona Clark Michael Lett 312 Karangahape Road Cnr K Rd & East St PO Box 68287 Newton Auckland 1145 New Zealand P+ 64 9 309 7848 [email protected] www.michaellett.com Fiona Clark Born in 1954, Inglewood, Taranaki, New Zealand Lives and works in Tikorangi, Taranaki, New Zealand Fiona Clark was born in Inglewood, Taranaki, in 1959, a rural background which formed the basis for her hands-on approach and direct attitude towards artistic practice, attributes which have aided her in the production of an expansive body of photographic work. While studying at the Elam School of Fine Arts between 1972-5, Clark began to develop a performance-based practice, before moving into photography in her final year. Performativity and the politics of identity would prove to be concepts which informed Clark’s later work, and these interests indirectly led her to document Auckland’s drag and transsexual community. These works provided the methodology for much of Clark’s later practice, especially in their emphasis on a collaborative approach and a sense of responsibility towards the images’ subjects, as seen in the then-controversial Dance Party series, which was subjected to censorship after being included in the Auckland Art Gallery’s 1977 group show The Active Eye. After returning to Taranaki, Clark embarked on a number of artistic projects encompassing a wide variety of subject matter: Maori fishing rights, body building, HIV-Aids and lesbian cultural histories. Recently, the shows Go Girl (2002-6) and For Fantastic Carmen (2016) represent a continuation of the documentary project which began with the Dance Party series, and which now spans four decades.
