  • Pacific Island History Poster Profiles
    Pacific Island History Poster Profiles A Note for Teachers Acknowledgements Index of Profiles This Profiles are subject to copyright. Photocopying and general reproduction for teaching purposes is permitted. Reproduction of this material in part or whole for commercial purposes is forbidden unless written consent has been obtained from Queensland University of Technology. Requests can be made through the acknowldgements section of this pdf file. A Note for Teachers This series of National History Posters has been designed for individual and group Classroom use and Library display in secondary schools. The main aim is to promote in children an interest in their national history. By comparing their nation's history with what is presented on other Posters, students will appreciate the similarities and differences between their own history and that of their Pacific Island neighbours. The student activities are designed to stimulate comparison and further inquiry into aspects of their own and other's past. The National History Posters will serve a further purpose when used as a permanent display in a designated “History” classroom, public space or foyer in the school or for special Parent- Teacher nights, History Days and Education Days. The National History Posters do not offer a complete survey of each nation's history. They are only a profile. They are a short-cut to key people, key events and the broad sweep of history from original settlement to the present. There are many gaps. The posters therefore serve as a stimulus for students to add, delete, correct and argue about what should or should not be included in their Nation's History Profile.

  • Reflections on Two Collaborative Projects in Contemporary Oceania
    The Islands Have Memory: Reflections on Two Collaborative Projects in Contemporary Oceania Guido Carlo Pigliasco and Thorolf Lipp Robert Bellah’s foreword to Paul Rabinow’s Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco reminds us that fieldwork “involves constant valuation and revaluation” (Bellah 1977, xi). In this article, we revaluate some reflec- tions that we have exchanged in relation to our unfolding projects: The Sawau Project in Beqa Island, Fiji, with the “legendary” Sawau tribe’s firewalkers (map 1; figure 13LJOLDVFRDQG&RODWDQDYDQXD2005; Pigliasco 2009b), and UrSprung in der SüdseeLQ3HQWHFRVW,VODQG9DQXDWXDQG several places in Germany, with the Sa speakers’ “legendary” land divers (map 2; figure 2; Lipp 2009a, 2009b).1 Both the traditional practices and the affiliated projects share several epistemological points. Neither the vilavilairevo (firewalking ceremony) of Beqa nor the gol (land dive) of Pentecost Island is a “rite of passage” in a narrow sense (van Gennep 1960; Turner 1969). These performative rites are volitional, and mainly conducted by adults, with no coercion toward young tribe members to perform (Pigliasco 2007b; Lipp 2008). They often are associ- ated with peril and analgesia but do not involve immediate change of the social status quo. Both practices involve a “gift” strongly intertwined with social relations, in the sense of an endowment mythically received by the ancestors (Pigliasco 2010; Lipp 2008: 303–309); both involve constant community recitation of the myth on which the practices are based; and both have recently been dealing with contested notions of ownership or intellectual property rights (Pigliasco 2009b; Lipp 2008). Moreover, throughout the last three decades, both performances have become iconic of the countries they represent.

  • The Custodians of the Gift. Fairy Beliefs, Holy Doubts and Heritage
    PREFACE Thirty years ago, right after finishing law school, I went to Sāmoa. My flight to Apia via Nadi was delayed in Nadi’s airport for several hours. While I was killing time with a trip to Lautoka town’s market and back to the airport, my cab driver, Babu Ram, explained why the airport was overwhelmed: many Indo-Fijians were fleeing the country, seeing little future in staying in Fiji. The Indo-Fijian diaspora had started less than two years before on 25 September 1987, after an army colonel, Sitiveni Rabuka, staged his second coup d’état. Rabuka declared Fiji a republic on 7 October 1987, abrogating the Constitution of Fiji and declaring himself Head of the Interim Military Government. The Commonwealth responded with Fiji’s immediate expulsion from the association, and the tensions between indigenous Fijian and Indo-Fijian ethnic groups were starting to crumble Fiji’s model of biracial political harmony. A month later, on my way back home from Sāmoa I decided to stop in Fiji again, and to spend a whole week in its capital city, Suva. Obviously, there were not many tourists around. Perhaps this explains why, with no reservation, I was able to get a large room, with a rusty fan and a lot of dust and nostalgia, in the Grand Pacific Hotel, Fiji’s grand old lady on Suva’s waterfront. Almost immediately after I left, the hotel closed down for two decades. When I asked the name of a solitary island whose silhouette was visible in the twilight to the south of my room, I was told it was called Beqa and was known in Fiji as “the island of the firewalkers.” I was also told that, back in the day, the firewalkers used to perform outside the hotel and across the street at Thurston Gardens surrounding the Fiji Museum.

  • Firewalking: a Contemporary Ritual and Transformation
    Firewalking: a contemporary ritual and transformation By: Emily D. Edwards Edwards, Emily D. “Firewalking: A Contemporary Ritual and Transformation.” TDR 42 (1998): 98-114. Made available courtesy of MIT Press: http://mitpress.mit.edu/ ***Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from MIT Press. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** Abstract: Firewalking is an ancient ritual that can be categorized as a wondrous performance with a powerful effect on believers. The New Age movement is reviving the ceremony through workshops and seminars. The event involves a form of mutual social pretense that overcomes logical convention. A participant in a firewalk that became part of a documentary video describes the experience. Article: Performances in the magical tradition have revived for many contemporary people the pleasures (and terrors) of personal transformation. Tired of more passive, spectator roles in orthodox religions and secular recreations, many individuals actively participate in their own transformation through the contemporary ceremonies revived in New Age movements (and other nonconventional religious movements). New Age rituals reflect a diversity of influences from Native American and African to Asian religious traditions. New Age rituals include practices such as channeling, astral projection, crystal healing, drumming, keening, smudging, and dancing. An awakened craving for transformation produces an exploitable market for spiritual experiences outside orthodox religious establishments, an "exotification" and appropriation of sacred knowledge (see Schechner 1993:228-63). Although these performances occur in a variety of rituals plucked from an assortment of cultural origins, this research will examine firewalking and a particular firewalking ritual in which I was a participant-observer.

  • An Investigation of Firewalking
    An Investigation of Firewalking Fire walkers ascribe their success to "mind over matter," mystical powers, or exotic physiological effects. The real physical and psychological explanation is much more interesting. Bernard J. Leikind and William J. McCarthy OR CENTURIES, some people in various cultures around the world have walked on hot coals without getting burned. Ordinarily, Fthis is associated with religious rituals, and success is attributed to spiritual or mystical powers' protecting the walkers. Since firewalking is usually done in faraway places, many Americans are quite willing to give some credence to the firewalkers' claims that some sort of mysterious powers protect the walkers from harm—powers that can only be harnessed after long study and careful preparation. In the past year or so, many Americans have been walking across beds of hot embers as part of self- help seminars that purport to teach students to overcome fears or to take command of their lives and achieve success. Because firewalking seems so mysterious, if not impossible, to most of us, the firewalk serves as a powerful persuasive tool, convincing the walker that all of the material taught in the seminar must be correct. We have investigated American firewalking in Los Angeles as taught and practiced by Tony Robbins of the Robbins Research Institute. We participated in a firewalk in the fall of 1984. One of us (WJM) attended Bernard J. Leikind is a research physicist in the Physics Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he does experimental work con­ nected with fusion energy and sometimes teaches.
