Download or read book Staying Fijian written by Rod Ewins and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barkcloth, or masi, is the traditional art form of the women of Vatulele Island. Its manufacture continues to flourish, even increase, while many other arts are declining, despite the fact that most of its functional roles have been usurped by Western cloth and paper. This book explores this apparent paradox and concludes that the reasons lie in the ability of its identity functions to buffer the effects of social stress. This is so for not only Vatuleleans but all Fijians. It is argued that the resultant strong indigenous demand has caused the efflorescence in barkcloth manufacture and use, contrary to the common assumption that the tourism market is the "savior" of art. This cultural vigor, however, has social costs that are explored here and weighed against its benefits. Rod Ewins locates a very local activity in both national and global contexts, historically, sociologically, and theoretically.

Book excerpt: "This book hopes to present the readers more than just an account of how Masi is made, though this will of course be a large component of the book. The book is divided into two sections. The first section sets Fiji in its geographical and historical context, at the same time showing the reader where Masi was traditionally made. This done, it then continues on to explain every aspect of the process used today to make Masi. The second sction of this book endeavours to describe the place of Masi in the world of the traditional Fijian. Finally, the authors look at Masi in the modern world of Fiji, exploring how many ancient rituals continue, and how others have been modified to cater to the demands of people who no longer live a village lifestyle, but are what one Fijian friend called "Fully Urbanised Natives""--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Made in Oceania written by Peter Mesenhöller and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both anthropologists and conservation scientists are fascinated by Oceanic barkcloth, or tapa, as it is known by its generic Polynesian term. Historic tapa designs are often living cultural heritage, but today’s objects also combine content, form and tradition in new ways and are intimately connected with the social and cultural identity of individuals, groups, and even nations. With tapa being completely alien to European traditions, conservation scientists are challenged by the material and its restoration and preservation. Questions of adequate presentation in exhibitions touch upon both disciplines, particularly when cultural requirements of the source communities come into play. This volume brings together presentations given at an interdisciplinary symposium on the social and cultural meanings, conservation and presentation of Oceanic tapa, organised and hosted by the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum of World Cultures and the Institute of Conservation Sciences, Cologne, in 2014. By presenting new, international, cutting-edge research from both disciplines, Made in Oceania offers unique insights into current museum practice, and connects historical research with recent social and cultural developments in the Pacific.

The country has a rich cultural heritage that is deeply rooted in tradition and customs. Fiji has been influenced by a range of cultures, including Indian, Chinese, and Western cultures, which have contributed to its vibrant and diverse society.
