Please note her address on page 3 of this Circular and add it to the list of members distributed with Circular No. 15. ICTM Meeting in Schladming, Austria, 23-20 July 1989 So far, only Rossen has expressed the hope that members of our Study Group can get together during this World Conference. Of course, Christensen will attend in his capacity of Secretary General and Trimillos plans to attend in his capacity as member of the Executive Board. If other members do plan to participate/attend and would like to meet informally, I suggest you contact one of these three (I do not plan to attend). Other Forthcoming Events of Potential Interest to Members The 4th International Symposium of the Pacific Arts Association is to be held in Honolulu, 6-12 August 1989. (The sponsors are the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Bishop Museum, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, East-West Center, Hawaii Museums Association, Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program, Center for Pacific Islands Studies of the University of Hawaii, and Hawaii Loa College.) Reeves (now Helen Reeves Lawrence--congratulations, Helen!) and two other ICTM-SGMO members have expressed interest in an informal gathering with other members of our Study Group who may attend. The conference, titled "Artistic Heritage in a Changing Pacific," is clearly within our sphere of interests--especially the section on "Performing Arts."

The Samoan side: How Sia Figiel debunks orientalism in Where We Once Belonged. International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies 14 (2): 105–120, https://doi.org/10.21315/ijaps2018.14.2.5 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/ijaps2018.14.2.5 ABSTRACT The result of the first (and the subsequent) contact between the West and the East is an Oriental documentation, colonial establishment and notional subject-making of the East by the supposedly civilised and advanced West. Like all Orients, the Pacific has been much represented and made subjects of theoretical discourses, characterised as bare-breasted and sexually available women, murderous and lecherous men, idly tropical islands inhabited by primitive people with little or no culture. Samoa has, specifically, been a subject of anthropological discourse for many decades, following the Mead-Freeman controversy. Margaret Mead concludes that in Samoa, the transition from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood was one of relative ease and that sexuality is so free that women usually defer marriage to enjoy casual sex. Derek Freeman questions Mead’s findings, gives contrary views and unified the whole Samoan Islands as one and same. However, some Samoan (and non-Samoan) academics, writers and researchers debunk such Oriental representations.

  • Joyce Pualani Warren
    DOI 10.17953/aicrj.43.2.warren Reading Bodies, Writing Blackness: Anti-/Blackness and Nineteenth- Century Kanaka Maoli Literary Nationalism Joyce Pualani Warren June 5, 1850, journal entry written by fifteen-year-old Hawaiian Prince Alexander A Liholiho, the future King Kamehameha IV, details his experience of anti-Black discrimination on a train in Washington, DC. The conductor “told [him] to get out of the carriage rather unceremoniously,” because of his skin color, “saying that [he] was in the wrong carriage.”1 For Alexander Liholiho, a law school student as well as the future monarch, this diplomatic tour of the United States and Europe was an opportunity to interact with foreign heads of state. Although the conductor deferred to the prince after someone whispered into the official’s ear at a critical moment in the argument, Alexander Liholiho surmised in his entry, “he had taken me for somebodys servant [sic], just because I had a darker skin than he had. Confounded fool.”2 During a soiree at the White House only days earlier President Zachary Taylor and Vice President Millard Fillmore had treated him as an equal; now a train conductor cruelly abused him as a “servant” in need of correction. Perhaps ironically, the young prince had found the president’s “plain citizens dress” [sic] lacking in comparison to his own “belted & cocked” attire, yet none of the outward markers of his royalty registered with the conductor.3 Instead, the conductor misreads Alexander Liholiho’s body based on his racist assumption that a Black body, or a body approximating one, could occupy no other narrative than the one inscribed Joyce Pualani Warren is an assistant professor in the Department of English at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

  • Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change
    The I and the We: Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change April K Henderson That the Samoan sense of self is relational, based on socio-spatial rela- tionships within larger collectives, is something of a truism—a statement of such obvious apparent truth that it is taken as a given. Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Taisi Efi, a former prime minister and current head of state of independent Sāmoa as well as an influential intellectual and essayist, has explained this Samoan relational identity: “I am not an individual; I am an integral part of the cosmos. I share divinity with my ancestors, the land, the seas and the skies. I am not an individual, because I share a ‘tofi’ (an inheritance) with my family, my village and my nation. I belong to my family and my family belongs to me. I belong to my village and my village belongs to me. I belong to my nation and my nation belongs to me. This is the essence of my sense of belonging” (Tui Atua 2003, 51). Elaborations of this relational self are consistent across the different political and geographical entities that Samoans currently inhabit. Par- ticipants in an Aotearoa/New Zealand–based project gathering Samoan perspectives on mental health similarly described “the Samoan self . as having meaning only in relationship with other people, not as an individ- ual. This self could not be separated from the ‘va’ or relational space that occurs between an individual and parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other extended family and community members” (Tamasese and others 2005, 303).
