  • Pacific Pastoralism: Ancient Poetics & The
    PACIFIC PASTORALISM: ANCIENT POETICS & THE DECONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN PARADISE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN AMERICAN STUDIES MAY 2014 By Travis D. Hancock Thesis Committee: Joseph Stanton (Chairperson) Brandy Nalani McDougall Robert Perkinson Keywords: Pastoral, Paradise, Pacific Islands, Hawai‘i, Herman Melville, Charles Warren Stoddard, Mark Twain, Theocritus, Longus ABSTRACT: This aim of this thesis is to deconstruct the etymology of the word “paradise” within the context of early Pacific narratives by popular American authors, and then within today’s tourist propaganda. Fundamental to that process is the imagination of “Pacific Pastoralism,” in which the pastoral tradition is considered as a predecessor to American traditions of describing the landscapes and peoples of the Pacific region, as those descriptions fueled an economy forcibly mapped onto that space. Herein texts are analyzed via close-reading comparisons, historical research, and more lyrical methods such as rhetorical stargazing, echolocation, and narrative technique. While this thesis is indebted to scholars in the fields of American Studies and English literature, it attempts to open space for Pacific Island Studies to epistemologically counter its cultural materialist claims. In total, this thesis is a critique of tourist marketing, which was ferried from antiquity to the Pacific on wooden ships, and today renders beaches little more than golf course sand-traps.

    1908 — fast and future — 1963 by Edwin N orth M cClellan We look back want to 1908. over more than 48 years of OCC constructive life, and are inspired to advance. We look forward towards 1963 with sure hope and see Our Club at the ntw home tear Leahi. OCC roots, deep in Waikiki, will not be disturbed. They will spread, dig deeper and bless the New Site with structures more beautiful and uselul than erer before. The OCC must never jail in its major mission of per­ petuating Hawaiian aquatic sports, and serving youth, age and Hawaii. E dw in N . M cC lellan Alele Kalikimaka and Hauoli Makabiki Hou .' Every inch of the Coral Strand at Waikiki is beautiful and valuable. The New Home Site of the Outrigger Canoe Club near Castle Point about 1963, will be more desirable, attractive and valuable than the OCC site of 1908-1957. The demanding trend is towards a Perfect Beach throughout the whole Curve of Waikiki. With very splendid structures, a New Beach created and coral removed to give adequate approach to Big and Small Surfs, future OCC members will enjoy Aquatic Nature to a greater de­ gree than ever. The OCC may move to its New Site near Diamond Head before 1963 when present lease expires. ANCIENT ENVIRONMENT OF 1963-SITE The New Site near Diamond Head is steeped in tradition, legendary elements and history, of Old Hawaii. Gallant Ghostly Personalities fill its healthful atmosphere. So, a wee descrip­ tion of that environment before we view past-clubhouses of 1908, 1909, 1910, 1914, 1925-1927, 1939-1941 and other years.
