Download or read book Fiji Masi written by Catherine Spicer and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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 Synopsis Tides of Innovation in Oceania by : Elisabetta Gnecchi-Ruscone
Download or read book Tides of Innovation in Oceania written by Elisabetta Gnecchi-Ruscone and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tides of Innovation in Oceania is directly inspired by Epeli Hau‘ofa’s vision of the Pacific as a ‘Sea of Islands’; the image of tides recalls the cyclical movement of waves, with its unpredictable consequences. The authors propose tides of innovation as a fluid concept, unbound and open to many directions. This perspective is explored through ethnographic case studies centred on deeply elaborated analyses of locally inflected agencies involved in different transforming contexts. Three interwoven themes—value, materiality and place—provide a common thread.

Book Synopsis Bordered Bodies, Bothered Voices by : Jione Havea
Download or read book Bordered Bodies, Bothered Voices written by Jione Havea and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologies are constructed in and from lived contexts, and contexts are shaped by borders. While borders are barriers, they are also steppingstones for crossing over and invitations for moving further. This book offers theological and cultural reflections from the intersections of borders (real and imagined), bodies (physical, cultural, religious, ideological, political), and voices (that endorse as well as talk back). With and in the interests of natives and migrants, the authors of this book embrace bordered bodies and stir bothered voices. The essays are divided into four overlapping clusters that express the shared drives between the authors--Noble borders: some borders are not experienced as constricting because they are seen as noble; Negotiating bodies: bodies constantly negotiate and relocate borders; Troubling voices: bothered voices cannot be muted or silenced; Riotous bodies: embracing the wisdom in and of rejected and wounded bodies is a riot that this book invites. The authors engage their subjects out of their experiences as migrants and natives. This book is thus a step toward--and an invitation for more work on--migrant and native theologies.
