  • 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.

  • Calendrier Lunaire Perpétuel
    Calendrier lunaire perpétuel L’association C.I.E.L. a produit un calendrier lunaire de Tahiti qui est perpétuel, c'est-à-dire qu'il vous permet de trouver la lunaison du jour à toute occasion, pour chaque jour, mois, année... Les illustrations représentent les formes des lunaisons telles qu’elles sont réellement à Tahiti ainsi que dans toute la Polynésie française. Les noms des lunaisons du calendrier lunaire de Tahiti sont indiqués en tahitien, conformément à ceux employés par l’association Haururu. Le mode d'emploi est indiqué en français comme la signification des lunaisons et leur emploi pour la pêche et l'agriculture. Pour la 2nd édition, nous avons ajouté un petit plus : le calendrier lunaire des anciens Hawaïens où la Lune influence les plantes et les hommes. Vous pouvez vous procurer ce calendrier lunaire, en nous passant commande ou vous les procurer en librairie. Pour employer ce "jeu", il faut ajuster la lunaison du jour au calendrier de la poste (type calendrier scolaire ou délivré par les banques), en plaçant le dessin de la nouvelle lune du jeu sur la date d’observation de la nouvelle lune inscrite au calendrier. Astuce : pour connaître la lunaison exacte, vous pouvez consulter le site suivant : http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml Pour passez votre commande : [email protected] Présentation du ciel des anciens Polynésiens Les constellations polynésiennes Le ciel astronomique est, par définition, un ciel constellé d'étoiles reliées par des lignes imaginaires qui forment des représentations d'un type figuratif au pouvoir évocateur de légendes, de mythes et d'histoires propres aux cultures qui en sont les " inventeurs ".

  • Du Premier Au Second Gouvernement Temaru: Une Annee De Crise Politique Et Institutionnelle
    1 DU PREMIER AU SECOND GOUVERNEMENT TEMARU: UNE ANNEE DE CRISE POLITIQUE ET INSTITUTIONNELLE Emmanuel­Pie Guiselin * Il arrive parfois que le temps politique s’accélère. Pour la Polynésie française, une page clef de l’histoire vient de s’écrire avec le retour au pouvoir de l’Union pour la démocratie (UPLD) et de son leader Oscar Temaru. Ce retour est intervenu à la faveur des élections partielles du 13 février 2005, moins de cinq mois après que le premier gouvernement Temaru ait été renversé par une motion de censure. Entre l’UPLD et le Tahoeraa Huiraatira, entre Oscar Temaru et Gaston Flosse, le cadre statutaire et le mode de scrutin ont constitué la toile de fond d’un combat plus profond mettant aux prises légalité et légitimité. Sometimes the political tempo of a country speeds up. In the case of French Polynesia, a major chapter in its history was written with the return to power of the Union for Democracy party (UPLD) and its leader Oscar Temaru. This came about as a result of the partial elections of 13 February 2005, that is less than 5 months after the first Temaru government had been ousted by a censure motion. Between UPLD and Tahoeraa Hiuraatira, between Oscar Temaru and Gaston Flosse, the legal framework and the voting system created the backdrop for a significant battle concerning legality and legitimacy. 27 février 2004, 7 mars 2005 1. Un peu plus de douze mois séparent ces deux dates, la première marquant la promulgation de la loi organique relative au nouveau statut d’autonomie de la Polynésie française 2, la seconde portant présentation du second gouvernement constitué par Oscar Temaru.
