  • The Chronology of Mountain SETTLEMENTS on Tutuila, American Samoa
    THE CHRONOLOGY OF MOUNTAIN SETTLEMENTS ON TUTUILA, AMERICAN SAMOA FREDERIC B. PEARL Texas A&M University at Galveston Shortly after Christian missionaries arrived, the population of Samoa was overwhelmingly concentrated along the coast. Synthesising information from a variety of previously published sources, Watters (1958) estimated that 96 percent of the population of lived within a mile of the sea; the remaining 4 percent lived in isolated inland settlements or in one of just a few known inland villages. Before 1840, however, there were numerous mountain ridgetop settlements, which on the basis of oral traditions were thought to be refuge sites (Davidson 1969, Smith 1899). These sites are often attributed by Samoans to a legendary period of warfare with the Tongans that is said to date between about the 10th and 13th centuries A.D. (Henry 1980, Smith 1899, Stuebel 1896). Archaeologists have since investigated fortified inland and mountain ridgetop sites, and they too have suggested that they possibly fall within this period in time (Best 1992, 1993, Buist 1967, Frost 1978), some even while simultaneously challenging the use of oral tradition to explain the sites (Best 1992). Both Clark (1996) and Green (2002a, 2002b) have noted that the timing of the appearance of Samoan fortifications is uncertain and that their relationship to unfortified aspects of Samoan settlement patterns remains unknown. No independent data has come forth to test the basic hypothesis that mountain residential sites were occupied by Samoans because of internecine warfare, or especially, Tongan occupation of coastal sites. A first step in evaluating these claims would be to establish an authoritative chronology of the mountain settlements, thus confirming whether or not the sites were occupied during the proposed time period.

    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXII Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Curitiba, PR – 4 a 7 de setembro de 2009 Jumun: pensando o sucesso ocidental da cultura pop asiática através da boyband sul-coreana Dong Bang Shin Ki1 Talita de Cássia MOTA2 Universidade Estadual Paulista, Bauru, SP Resumo A música é uma forma de arte que reflete modos de pensar e agir, a cultura e por isso mesmo é utilizada como uma das maneiras de se conhecer e divulgar o país para o estrangeiro. Mesmo quando não há divulgação oficial pelos meio tradicionais (rádio, TV ou jornal), a internet passa a ser o meio essencial para visualização de outras culturas a partir do país de origem, sem intermediários que poderiam distorcer sua imagem. Por isso, este artigo pretende enxergar a música como forma de comunicação de uma cultura diferente da nossa e assim, pensar a internet como o meio que possibilita a disseminação, conhecimento e consumo de produtos da cultura pop sul coreana, vendo nesse movimento a reinterpretação e/ou construção de novas identidades culturais gerando um processo de hibridização cultural. Palavras-chave comunicação; cultura; internet; identidade Introdução As culturas asiáticas já estão muito presentes no Brasil, não só por consequência da imigração, que é muito marcante em lugares específicos do país, mas também, pelo consumo,cada vez maior de produtos dessas culturas, o que ficou mais visível durante o ano de 2008 em que se comemorou o Centenário da Imigração Japonesa. Já se fala muito em animes e mangás e como eles atraem os jovens; só que existem outras manifestações culturais que são incorporadas pelos brasileiros e que não recebem destaque, como é o caso da música.
