  • 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.

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.

The particular vulnerability of islands is often described in terms of their remoteness, small size and exposure to climatic instability.

  • Disaster, Divine Judgment, and Original Sin: Christian Interpretations of Tropical Cyclone Winston and Climate Change in Fiji
    Disaster, Divine Judgment, and Original Sin: Christian Interpretations of Tropical Cyclone Winston and Climate Change in Fiji John Cox, Glen Finau, Romitesh Kant, Jason Titifanue, and Jope Tarai As the people of the Pacific feel the impact of recent superstorms, earth- quakes, environmental degradation, and climate change, and as the region is represented by external actors as a place particularly vulnerable to natu- ral disasters (eg, Keener and others 2012), a new moral economy is emerg- ing. Expectations of economic growth and linear development are becom- ing difficult to sustain in the face of the devastation of major disasters such as Tropical Cyclones Winston (February 2016) and Pam (March 2015), where the financial costs, labor, and time required to rebuild infrastruc- ture outweigh any of the incremental gains from economic progress in recent years. Natural disasters have the most severe impacts on the poor, thereby also exacerbating existing social inequality. This vulnerable and unstable image of the Pacific sits in tension with more familiar ideas of the region as a tranquil tropical paradise. Paradise in the Pacific is often rendered as a natural state in which “native” people live in simple harmony or “subsistence affluence” with- out the need for government or state institutions For example, Matti Eräsaari has noted that Fijians themselves frequently refer to village life as “Parataisi” as they celebrate the abundant provision of food and the ability to live without money or the time disciplines of waged employment (2017, 316). As Sharae Deckard has argued (2010), the paradise myth was foundational to colonial exploitation as it attributed prosperity to natural abundance, rendering the forced labor of “natives” invisible and displacing claims of Indigenous ownership of land.
