BIBLIOGRAPHY Research Bibliography of Alcohol and Kava BIBLIOGRAPHY Research Bibliography of Alcohol and Kava Studies in Oceania: Update and Additional Items PAUL FREUND an d MAC MARSHALL Deparlme11/ of A111hropo/ogy, U11ii>ersilyof Iowa, Iowa Cily, Iowa 52242 Marshall (1974) recently compiled a bibliography of research dealing with alcohol and kava use in the Pacific Islands consisting of 70 separate items divided more or less equally between alcohol and kava studies . Scholars familiar with the Pacific know that the preparation and consumption of kava by Pac ific Islanders ha s caught the attention of outsiders for a long time and this fact is made apparent by the additional bibliography on alcohol and kava in Oceania provided below . Fully 63 of the 84 new items concern kava and a substantial number of these date from the nineteenth century . Six of the items listed below are updates of work mentioned in the l 974 compilation (e.g., papers read at professional meetings that st1bsequently have been published) . Since much of the kava literature appears in languages other than English , we have provided translations of titles not readily comprehensible to persons unfamiliar with the language in question.

  • Research Bibliography of Alcohol and Kava Studies in Oceania
    Research Bibliography of Alcohol and Kava Studies in Oceania MAC MARSHALL1 Originally prepared in connection with the Working Session on Alcohol and Kava Studies in Oceania, held at the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania in March 1974, this bibliography has since been expanded to include all known articles, commission reports and papers read at professional meetings dealing specifically with alcohol and kava use and abuse in the Pacific Islands. The bibliography explicitly does not contain references to sections of larger works (e. g., ethnographies) that discuss alcohol and kava in the islands. \ Perusal of the citations below reveals a paucity of research into the role of al­ cohol historically during the contact period in the Pacific, and an even more striking lack of contemporary social science research into the place of alcohol in modern Pacific island cultures. This point has been developed at some length in Marshall (n. d.), where it also is noted that our knowledge of present-day kava use in Oceania is woefully deficient. The papers by Burtness et al., Demory, Fischer, MacKenzie, Marshall, Nason, Severance, and Urbanowicz, read at the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania Annual Meeting, represent a first step in filling this in­ formation gap, and publication of these papers as a set is expected shortly. For purposes of this bibliography, the compass of the term "Oceania" includes all of Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia and New Guinea. Anonymous 1956. Alcool en Oceanie. Numero 66.

  • Mid-Holocene Social Interaction in Melanesia: New Evidence from Hammer-Dressed Obsidian Stemmed Tools
    Mid-Holocene Social Interaction in Melanesia: New Evidence from Hammer-Dressed Obsidian Stemmed Tools ROBIN TORRENCE, PAMELA SWADLING, NINA KONONENKO, WALLACE AMBROSE, PIP RATH, AND MICHAEL D. GLASCOCK introduction Proposals that large-scale interaction and ceremonial exchange in the Pacific region began during the time of Lapita pottery (c. 3300–2000 b.p.) (e.g., Friedman 1981; Hayden 1983; Kirch 1997; Spriggs 1997) are seriously challenged by the extensive areal distribution of a class of retouched obsidian artifacts dated to the early and middle Holocene (c. 10,000–3300 b.p.) and known as ‘‘stemmed tools’’ (Araho et al. 2002). Find spots of obsidian stemmed tools stretch from mainland New Guinea to Bougainville Island and include the Trobriand Islands, various islands in Manus province, New Britain and New Ireland (Araho et al. 2002; Golson 2005; Specht 2005; Swadling and Hide 2005) (Fig. 1). Although other forms of tanged and waisted stone tool are known in Melanesia (e.g., Bulmer 2005; Fredericksen 1994, 2000; Golson 1972, 2001), the two types defined by Araho et al. (2002) as ‘‘stemmed tools’’ comprise distinctive classes because they usually have deep notches that delineate very well-defined and pronounced tangs. Type 1 stemmed tools are made from prismatic blades and have large and clearly demarcated, oval-shaped tangs. In contrast, the Type 2 group is more vari- able.Itisdefinedprimarilybytheuseof Kombewa flakes (i.e., those removed fromthebulbarfaceofalargeflake)forthe blank form, as described in detail in Robin Torrence is Principal Research Scientist in Anthropology, Australian Museum, Sydney NSW, [email protected]; Pamela Swadling is a Visiting Research Fellow, Archaeol- ogy and Natural History, Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University, Can- berra ACT, [email protected]; Nina Kononenko is an ARC post-doctoral fellow in the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry, University of Sydney, kononenko.nina@hotmail.

  • Introduction Navigating Spatial Relationships in Oceania
    INTRODUCTION NAVIGATING SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS IN OCEANIA Richard Feinberg Department of Anthropology Kent State University Kent OH USA [email protected] Cathleen Conboy Pyrek Independent Scholar Rineyville, KY [email protected] Alex Mawyer Center for Pacific Island Studies University of Hawai’i at Mānoa Honolulu, HI USA [email protected] Recent decades have seen a revival of interest in traditional voyaging equipment and techniques among Pacific Islanders. At key points, the Oceanic voyaging revival came together with anthropological interests in cognition. This special issue explores that intersection as it is expressed in cognitive models of space, both at sea and on land. These include techniques for “wave piloting” in the Marshall Islands, wind compasses and their utilization as part of an inclusive navigational tool kit in the Vaeakau-Taumako region of the Solomon Islands; notions of ‘front’ and ‘back’ on Taumako and in Samoa, ideas of ‘above’ and ‘below’ in the Bougainville region of Papua New Guinea, spaces associated with the living and the dead in the Trobriand Islands, and the understanding of navi- gation in terms of neuroscience and physics. Keywords: cognition, navigation, Oceania "1 Recent decades have seen a revival of interest in traditional voyaging equipment and techniques among Pacific Islanders. That resurgence was inspired largely by the exploits of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and its series of successful expeditions, beginning with the 1976 journey of Hōkūle‘a, a performance-accurate replica of an early Hawaiian voyaging canoe, from Hawai‘i to Tahiti (Finney 1979, 1994; Kyselka 1987). Hōkūle‘a (which translates as ‘Glad Star’, the Hawaiian name for Arcturus) has, over the ensuing decades, sailed throughout the Polynesian Triangle and beyond.

CONSERVATION MELANESIA Papua New Guinea Equator Initiative Case Studies Local sustainable development solutions for people, nature, and resilient communities UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to fill this gap. The following case study is one in a growing series that details the work of Equator Prize winners – vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local success to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models for replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reference to ‘The Power of Local Action: Lessons from 10 Years of the Equator Prize’, a compendium of lessons learned and policy guidance that draws from the case material.

  • A Vision Recovered: Papua New Guinea, Melanesia
    A VISION RECOVERED PAPUA NEW GUINEA, MELANESIA Case Study How nurturing and mentoring a small, local nonprofit and charitable trust resulted in an inspiring collaboration that now benefits the Greater Melanesia and Pacific Region. Today, the Mama Graun Conservation Trust Fund, along with its sister organization the Micronesia Conservation Trust, is considered one of the most effective young conservation non-profits in the Melanesia Region and the Pacific. It services six Melanesian countries (Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, New Caledonia, Timor L’Este) and mobilizes funding from a variety of local and high-level international sources. A surprising turn of events, considering the way it all started. The concept for the Conservation Trust Fund (meaning “Mother Earth Trust” in the local language) began in Papua New Guinea in the mid-1990’s as a way to bring together many of the largest and most established conservation interests together on behalf of this world- renowned biologically diverse hotspot and home to the third largest rain forest in existence. The United Nations and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) initiated the consultation process and surveyed more than 500 individuals and organizations about the feasibility and the usefulness of such an organization. The result was overwhelmingly favorable, and so the process of creating the Trust was started. In 1998, the Global Environment Facility, working through the World Bank, pledged $15 million to the Trust to both create a special fund as a component of a forestry project with the Government of Papua New Guinea and to act as the fiduciary agent as well.

    Papua New Guinea HEALTH SITUATION Papua New Guinea’s progress towards the Millennium Development Goals has been sluggish and uneven across the country. The provinces with the highest levels of early childhood mortality also have low levels of immunization coverage. National immunization rates have declined to as low as 43% for measles vaccination and 52% for the third dose of the pentavalent vaccine. The burden of disease in Papua New Guinea is largely dominated by communicable diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), malaria and diarrhoeal diseases, but the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases is rapidly increasing. TB remains a significant public health problem with national indicators showing stagnating and, in some provinces, declining treatment success rates. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis are on the increase, especially in Western Province. According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS report for 2012, HIV infections in Papua New Guinea have decreased by more than http:// www.who.int/countries/en/ 25% since 2001.

Executive Summary Papua New Guinea currently faces a series of challenges in the realm of Indigenous human rights. Although Indigenous peoples, identified by clans, have customary rights to 97 percent of the land, the government has not respected a process of free, prior informed consent on those lands, and there are serious concerns about the impact of extractive industries and environmental policies. Papua New Guinea struggles with ensuring the safety of women, children, and immigrants. II. Background Papua New Guinea is famously one of the most diverse nations in the world, in flora, fauna, and human diversity. As much as 10 percent of the world’s terrestrial species flourish in its tropical rainforests, and many of these species are found nowhere else.

  • Māori and Kava: New Drug Fashion Or Re-Engagement with 'Kawa'?
    Pacific Dynamics: Volume 3 Number 1 August 2019 Journal of Interdisciplinary Research http://pacificdynamics.nz Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Māori and kava: New drug fashion or ISSN: 2463-641X re-engagement with ‘kawa’? S. Apo Aporosa* University of Waikato Jacinta Forde University of Waikato Abstract The Pacific “cultural keystone species” (Garibaldi & Turner, 2004, pp.1,5) kava is uniquely linked with notions of mana (spiritual power) and used to infuse efficacy into celebrations and life events. The drink, made from this potent icon of identity, brings on feelings of relaxation without marked euphoria, aiding clear-minded talanoa (discussion) to facilitate important and/or contentious dialogue. The sharing and drinking of kava as part of host/guest formalities is used in bringing about mutuality and unity (Aporosa, 2019). It is estimated there are more than 20,000 kava users in Aotearoa/New Zealand on an average Friday or Saturday night, with increasing interest and uptake of this indigenous drink by Māori. Crowley (1994) reports that the Māori word ‘kawa’, literally meaning ‘marae protocol’, has its linguistic foundations in ‘kava’ and the practices associated with this cultural keystone species. This paper explores that linguistic union to ask whether increased kava use by Māori has greater significance than simply a new interaction with a foreign drug substance. Further, due to the use of kava in facilitating talanoa (discussion), the possibility of kava playing a similar role for Māori is considered, one linked to ancestral Pacific connections aimed at assisting kōrero (talanoa), cultural connectedness and practice. Keywords: kava, Māori, kawa, tapu / noa, cultural re-engagement, kōrero *Corresponding author: S.

    REVIEWS MELANESIAN MUSIC ON COMPACT DISC: SOME SIGNIFICANT ISSUES Peter Russell Crowe European Seminar in Ethnomusicology Toulouse, France THIS SHORT ESSAY partially introduces the canvas of Melanesian music by reviewing a baker’s dozen of compact-disc sound recordings (CDs). It is meant to be appreciative, rather than critical in the comparative evaluation sense, but has to be selective for two reasons: first, there are not many Mela- nesian CDs in the catalogues, yet; and second, the region is rich, complex, and varied, both linguistically and culturally. It is estimated that Papua New Guinea alone has more than 750 languages, the Solomon Islands 80, Van- uatu more than 100, New Caledonia about 30--we can say maybe a thou- sand total--although the degrees of linguistic difference in Melanesia are not as striking within each of its two main families, Papuan and Austronesian, as they are between, say, Chinese and Japanese. There is also some homogene- ity in the natural environments, all tropical. By population size, by proximi- ties, by variety, Melanesia contrasts with Polynesia. Everywhere, it is hard to predict (but not impossible) which area will be polyphonic, or which will employ coordinated ensemble slit-drum music, or which scales may be found where. Despite its astonishing variety, there seems to be a Melanesian tradi- tional music “sound,” directly recognizable to anyone who has heard enough but eluding description: it is something sensed, and it would be good to know how and why that is so.
