The restoration of this dispossessed and ravaged island by outsiders into what some scholars call “Museum Island” is the historical background on which the thesis is set. I argue that this Tpostcolonial process has produced in the Rapanui an uncanny affect when re-encountering their landscape and the emplaced persons within. I discuss the ontological, historical, and contemporary aspects of the case on the basis of ethnographic data I collected and archival research I conducted in Easter Island in the summer of 2013 and January 2014. In the first part, I use a semiotic approach to analyze how various Rapanui performance genres reveal Easter Island to be a landscape alive with emplaced other-than-human persons. In the second part, I examine the mediatization and politi- cal use of a leprosy epidemic from the 1890s to the 1960s in the island by the Chilean nation-state, focusing on how a new apparatus of power made autonomous citizens of Rapanui dividual persons. -
1 Cultural Identity and Heritage Prepared By: Ricardo Serpell, September 2018
EPFL | ENAC | IA Laboratory of construction and architecture Rapa Nui Superstudio 1 Cultural Identity and Heritage Prepared by: Ricardo Serpell, September 2018. A combination of geographic, historic and social factors allowed Chilean society to avoid the multiculturalist debate until very recently. Significant geographic isolation, high concentration of population on a few urban centres, and a steep socio-economic class system dominated by an upper group of strong European ascent favoured a hegemonic homogeneous-nation self-representation in the Chilean state construct. Indigenous population was historically overlooked amidst a dominant narrative of quasi-European white-mestizo nation with no “Indian problem”; an “exception” among “indigenous” and “backward” neighbour South American countries [1]. In such a context, for the Rapanui being granted Chilean citizenship in 1966 meant gaining long-denied fundamental rights, but at the same time adding to their struggle for recognition. 1.1 Worldviews Rapanui worldview has been constantly evolving after first European contact. Unable for most of its history to purposely reach out to other nations, understanding of themselves and the others in the world was challenged and then shaped by successive waves of external contact and intervention. The Rapanui worldview was suddenly required to incorporate the foreign and their everyday concerns forcibly displaced towards the sphere of external contact. Already in 1882, visitors were surprised to find that the Islanders knew accurately currency exchange rates and displayed their curios for sale with price tags on shelves [2]. Collective experience and memory of historical contact made the Rapanui simultaneously attracted and suspicious of the foreign. In many cases, the indigenous population has been divided in their perception and attitude towards incoming outsiders. -

Compañía, Estado Y Comunidad Isleña. Entre El “Pacto Colonial” Y La Resistencia
Compañía, Estado y Comunidad isleña. Entre el “pacto colonial” y la resistencia. Antecedentes y nuevas informaciones con respecto al periodo 1 1917-1936 Miguel Fuentes2 Resumen Teniendo por base la revisión de documentos provenientes del Archivo del Ministerio de Marina y del Archivo de la Intendencia de Valparaíso, este artículo se propone aportar con una caracterización inicial de la situación social y política en Rapa Nui durante el periodo 1917-1936. La elección de este periodo se justifica por la constatación que hacen varios investigadores acerca de la carencia de estudios que ayuden a comprender, para estos momentos, la dinámica social entre habitantes rapanui y agentes foráneos. Así también, pensamos que una serie de fenómenos marcan la apertura en 1917 de un nuevo escenario político. En este sentido, tanto la fallida rebelión isleña de 1914, así como el conflicto público entre el Obispo Edwards con la Compañía Explotadora en 1916 y la posterior firma del “Temperamento Provisorio”, provocaron una sustancial modificación del marco en el cual venían actuando los tres sujetos protagónicos del proceso histórico en Pascua: el Estado, la Compañía y la Comunidad isleña. Introducción Durante las últimas décadas del siglo XIX, el modo de vida tradicional rapanui experimenta importantes transformaciones que traen por consecuencia el surgimiento de un nuevo marco de relaciones sociales y políticas. En este contexto, una serie de sucesos marcan el desarrollo de un escenario en el cual se daría la acción (e interrelación) de tres sujetos claves: el Estado chileno, la “Compañía Explotadora de Isla de Pascua”3 y, aunque por mucho tiempo invisibilizada por el discurso histórico oficial, la Comunidad isleña4. -

Dicho proceso habría concluido en 1916, obligándose las partes en adelante a procesar la disidencia bajo una modalidad diferente. Following King Riroko’s “voluntary trip” to the Continent, in 1897, we propose to show that the Chilean State maintained a policy of deportation regarding rapanui authorities, which was against, and challenged, the colonial law.

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reclaiming Mana Repatriation in Rapa Nui a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction O
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reclaiming Mana Repatriation in Rapa Nui A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Jacinta Arthur 2015 © Copyright by Jacinta Arthur 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reclaiming Mana Repatriation in Rapa Nui by Jacinta Arthur Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor David Delgado Shorter, Chair This dissertation presents an intersubjective ethnography of repatriation in Rapa Nui. The central problem addressed in this study arises by recognizing that the debates around repatriation and the “reburial issue” are grounded in an epistemological friction. Throughout this dissertation I contend that Rapanui understandings of ivi tupuna or ancestral remains conflict dramatically with the widespread understanding held by non-indigenous, both scientists and beyond. As this study demonstrates, the Rapanui people have their own ontology, according to which they perceive being and beings in the world very differently than those of us influenced by Western worldviews. They understand the ancestors and other beings they co-exist with as persons. For the Rapanui, ivi tupuna have thus an ontological status: they are the ancestors, with whom they relate by haka ara, genealogy. As persons, they are capable of sharing their distinctive ! ""! knowledges and mana with other beings, humans included. This genealogical and epistemological relation connects the living and the dead with their history, land, and knowledges. Scholars have very often ignored this distinctive ontology promoting a scholarly tradition that objectifies Rapanui systems of knowing and relating. In doing so, they dehumanize relations between a people and their heritage. -
WHEN HOME IS the NAVEL of the WORLD an Ethnography of Young Rapa Nui Between Home and Away
WHEN HOME IS THE NAVEL OF THE WORLD An ethnography of young Rapa Nui between home and away Olaug Irene Røsvik Andreassen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Sociology and Anthropology, University of New South Wales March 2008 ii ABSTRACT Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has for centuries been known as an isolated island of archaeological mysteries; yet after a rapid modernisation this is today an international tourist destination, a World Heritage Site and a glocalised community. This anthropological study based on long-term fieldwork among young Rapa Nui on the island and away, describes how it can be to grow up in and to belong to such a place. Place is seen as a continually constructed social space and is influenced by Miriam Kahn’s use of Henri Lefebvre’s concept thirdspace. Rapa Nui, as a place, people and community, is here understood as continuously formed by global and local influences. Thus, although historical, global and national influences can seem overwhelming in such a small tourist destination with a turbulent colonial history, this study also sees the opinions and practices of the inhabitants as important agents. This thesis shows how young Rapa Nui are both influenced by and influencing what Rapa Nui is and becomes. Above all, their guiding principle seems to be a continuing strong attachment to their land –also called Te Pito o te Henua (“The Navel of the World”). iii PREFACE Illustration i: Volcano Rano Raraku seen from Poike Text 1: “Right in the centre at the end of the world” “Sitting in the shade of a miro tahiti tree, Amelia demonstrated kai kai, the traditional cat’s cradle game of patterns formed with a loop of string around the fingers, accompanied by song. -
