Ku Kia'i Mauna: Warriors Rising in Kapu Aloha Re-Branding the Hawaiian Identity Through the Revival of Place Authenticity

Lirette, Mélodie 12 1900 (has links)
En 2010, la Thirty Meter Telescope Corporation, représentée par une alliance interuniversitaire de chercheurs en astronomie, a présenté le projet du Thirty Meter Telescope ayant comme lieu de prédilection la montagne sacrée Mauna Kea, située sur l’île d’Hawai’i. S’inspirant de Idle No More, un mouvement d’activisme Hawaiien est né afin d’empêcher la désacralisation de ce temple naturel. Rapidement, un mouvement est né : ‘A’ole TMT, signifiant « non au TMT ». Ce mémoire illustre les raisons motivant cette initiative sociale et les outils mobilisés par les agents actifs de ce mouvement. Cette dissertation montre comment – s’inscrivant dans le contexte, d’abord, du Mouvement des Droits Civiques aux États-Unis et, ensuite, du mouvement de justice sociale et environnementale Idle No More – les activistes du ‘A’ole TMT Movement ont su procéder au re-branding de leurs attributs culturels et spirituels et, ainsi raviver l’authenticité de leur nation et de leur environnement, caractérisée par la réappropriation des lieux de mémoire hawaiiens. / In 2010, the Thirty Meter Telescope Corporation, composed of an inter-university alliance of researchers in astronomy, presented the Thirty Meter Telescope project, proposed to be built on the sacred mountain Mauna Kea, located on Hawai’i Island. Inspired by Idle No More, a grassroots Hawaiian activism movement was formed in an attempt to stop the desecration of this natural temple. Rapidly, a movement was born: ‘A’ole TMT, meaning “No to the TMT”. This dissertation shows the reasons motivating such a social initiative and presents the resources that active agents to the ‘A’ole TMT Movement mobilized to formally halt the TMT project. This thesis establishes how – in the context, first, of the accomplishments of the American Civil Rights Movement and, second, of the social and environmental justice movement Idle No More – Hawaiians have managed to re-brand their cultural and spiritual attributes and hence revive the authenticity of their nation as a singular and unique place through a renewed connection with Hawaiian lieux de mémoire.
