Elle a pour ambition d’identifier et d’analyser les images littéraires de la Polynésie du seizième au vingt-et-unième siècles grâce aux mythes bibliques et aux mythes polynésiens qui sont à leurs fondements. L’image la plus connue est celle de l’Éden polynésien qu’ont construit les voyageurs occidentaux et que déconstruisent les auteurs insulaires. Les littératures du Triangle sont en outre habitées par un imaginaire vétérotestamentaire réinterprété mais aussi par les réécritures de mythes traditionnels polynésiens. Se mêlent alors culture biblique d’une région très évangélisée et mise en valeur de la Polynésie pré-contact trop souvent niée ou dépréciée par les missionnaires, colons et écrivains occidentaux. Ainsi, le croisement des disciplines et le recours aux concepts polynésiens ont favorisé l’émergence d’une vision globale du rôle des mythes dans les œuvres littéraires qui participent de la représentation de ce territoire archipélique. / This study comes within the scope of mythocritics, image and postcolonial studies. It seeks to identify and analyse literary images from the sixteenth to twenty-first century Polynesia through biblical and Polynesian myths which are at the basis of these representations. The most famous image is obviously the Polynesian Eden, a cliché constructed by Western travellers and deconstructed by Insular writers. Literatures of the Triangle are also tinged with a reinterpreted Old Testament imaginary and with re-written traditional Polynesian myths. The biblical culture of a deeply evangelised region then mingles with the highlighted representation of pre-contact Polynesia which was so often denied or disparaged by missionaries, settlers and Western writers. Crossing disciplines and using Polynesian concepts have favoured a global vision of how myths (inter)act within literary works that take part in this territory of archipelago’s representation.

22	Restoration of Mauri (Life-Force) to Ōkahu Bay: Investigation of a Community Driven Restoration Process Freilich, Emily 01 January 2018 (has links) This thesis investigated the restoration of mauri (life-force) to Ōkahu Bay, Auckland New Zealand. Ōkahu Bay is part of the land and waters of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, a Māori hapū (sub-tribe). Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei has been driving the restoration, restoring Ōkahu Bay based on their worldview, visions, and concerns. This vision and control of the restoration process allows them to bring in the hapū in sustainable engagement and have the long-term vision and commitment necessary for self-determination. However, while there has been progress with projects and improved decision-making authority, hapū members are still not seeing their whānau (family) swimming in and caring for Ōkahu as much as they would like. Interviewees wanted to see an explicit focus on encouraging hapū members to use the bay, such as more educational programs and water-based activities, and continued efforts to improve water quality. Shellfish populations have also not recovered after a decade of monitoring due to structural aspects such as existing stormwater pipes. Changing these requires Auckland City Council to make stronger commitments to supporting Ngāti Whātua’s restoration. Overall, this investigation showed that in this restoration, a clean environment is essential to build community and a community is essential to build a clean environment. This community-driven restoration, while not perfect, has great potential to truly reconnect people with their environments, decolonize the land and the people, and create thriving ecosystems and people that benefit themselves, their communities, and the wider Auckland community.

23	The return of the Polynesian Phantom Tapuni, Nooroa January 2009 (has links) This research project, Return of the Polynesian Phantom, investigates self-portraiture through the mediums of moving image, digital modeling, object making, and installation. It seeks to consider in these media an ambiguous threshold between lightness and darkness, the real and the fabricated. The proposition that it explores is that it is at such ambiguous thresholds that notions of identity are negotiated, and where the perception and interpretation of symbolic meaning renders identity phantom.

24	Le tupapau et le génie à capuche : étude d'une figure entêtante dans l'oeuvre de Paul Gauguin / The tupapau and the hooded genie : study of a heady figure in Paul Gauguin's work Malmon, Isabelle 24 June 2017 (has links) En 1892, la toile Manao tupapau de Paul Gauguin présente, à l’arrière d’une vahiné dénudée, un petit personnage encapuchonné. L’artiste explique qu’il s’agit d’un tupapau, d’un revenant dans les traditions polynésiennes. Le motif en réalité est déjà apparu en France en 1888, sans référence à l’Océanie, et ne cessera de hanter l’œuvre jusqu’au décès de Gauguin en 1903. Cette figure thanatique, intrusive dans une œuvre qualifiée d’exotique et d’érotique, méritait réflexion, d’autant que la critique l’a souvent banalisée ou effacée. Ce personnage montre-t-il que l’artiste cède au fantastique fin-de-siècle ? S’agit-il d’alimenter l’exotisme, comme les Orientalistes, en faisant cohabiter cette entité ténébreuse avec la «belle des îles» ? Y a-t-il, de la part d’un homme exécrant l’Europe mercantiliste et racialiste, un intérêt sincère pour le surnaturel polynésien persécuté par les missions chrétiennes ? Notre travail a montré que l’excursion dans les îles du Pacifique pouvait virer à la descente aux Enfers. Face à la normalisation coloniale et chrétienne des mœurs et croyances polynésiennes, la peur de la damnation, la mortalité effrayante dû au mal vénérien, le démon à capuche est la mort qui gagne sur les plaisirs, la diabolisation de la liberté sexuelle. Mais il exprime aussi une ingression dans les ténèbres de la psyché, une tension entre volonté de jouissance dans la nouvelle Cythère et peur d’une sexualité féminine diabolisée et indomptée, entre désir de régression vers la mère et envie de fuir une figure tutélaire anxiogène. Le petit génie macabre contribue enfin à orienter l’œuvre vers une esthétique originale, mettant à mal les stéréotypes artistiques et idéologiques. / In 1892, Paul Gauguin’s painting Manao tupapau shows, behind a naked Tahitian woman, a little hooded character. The artist explains that this is a tupapau, that is to say a ghost in the Polynesian traditions. In reality the pattern already appeared in France in 1888, without any reference to Oceania, and it will haunt the work of Gauguin until he died in 1903. This figure, invasive in a so-called exotic and erotic work, deserves special attention, especially as most critics often trivialised or deleted it. Does this character prove that the artist is yielding to fin-de-siècle fantasy ? Is it a way to feed exotism, like the Orientalists painters, by the coexistence between this shadowy ghost and the « belle des îles » ? Knowing that Gauguin hated the mercantilist and racialist Europe, does he have a real interest in the Polynesian occult world and beliefs as they were fought by Christian missions ? Our dissertation showed that Gauguin’s excursion in the Pacific islands went a downward spiral. When the Polynesian customs and religion are standardized by colonialism and Christianism, when guilt of damnation and mortality caused by the syphilis are spreading, the hooded genius represents death prevailing over pleasure, the demonization of sexual freedom. This figure expresses also a descent into the dark room that is Gauguin’s psyche, his being torn between will of enjoyment in the new Cythère and fear of a demonized and untamed female sexuality, between his desire to come back to the mother image and his avoidance of a stressful domination figure. At last the little genius helps to give the work an original esthetics, challenging artistic and ideological stereotypes.

25	Mythes, astronomie, découpage du temps et navigation traditionnelle : l’héritage océanien contenu dans les mots de la langue tahitienne / Myths, astronomy, dissecting time and traditional navigation : the oceanic heritage contained in the words of the tahitian language Teriierooiterai, Claude 09 December 2013 (has links) Comment les Tahitiens ont-ils conceptualisé le ciel pour en faire un instrument de mesure astronomique ? Leurs traditions apportent des explications sous forme de récits cosmogoniques. Ils peuvent nous envoûter mais, ils ne sont pas considérés comme des solutions scientifiques. L'astronomie a accordé aux théories qui ont cours aujourd'hui toutes les apparences du sérieux et de la rationalité. La cosmogonie a commencé le jour où l'homme s'est posé des questions sur son environnement et ses origines. Il fallait demander à ceux qui avaient voyagé, de raconter ce qu’ils avaient vu et entendu sur les régions encore plus lointaines. Les Tahitiens font partie de ces curieux qui sont allés voir ce qu’il y avait au-delà de l’horizon et pour qui la parole d’un ancêtre était acte de foi. Les réponses se trouvent donc dans les récits mythiques et le vocabulaire utilisé, à la source des symboles intellectuels. Pour les déchiffrer, l’approche linguistique est indispensable.Dans la cosmogonie tahitienne, le dieu Ta’aroa crée le monde. Le ciel demeure cependant uni à la terre, il le soulève à l’aide de dix piliers (pou), que repèrent des étoiles appelées ‘anā. Les objets célestes peuvent ainsi émerger des abysses à l’horizon et se mouvoir sur le dôme en traçant une dizaine de chemins (rua), guidés par les plus remarquables d’entre eux, les ta’urua. Cette conceptualisation du ciel offrira aux Tahitiens un instrument de mesure spatiotemporel remarquable.Leur lexique astronomique comporte près de deux cents termes porteurs de concepts. Les revisiter conduit à découvrir leur ancienne science. / How did the Tahitians conceptualize the skies in order to create their own instrument of astronomy? Traditions provide explanations in the form of cosmogony stories. They can entice or by no means are they considered scientific evidence. Astronomy has supported theories that give today a certain seriousness or rationality.Cosmogony began the day when man inquired about its environment and its origins. To fully understand, they asked those that have travelled in the past, recollecting descriptions of what they had seen and heard from faraway places.The curiosity of Tahitians has pushed them to travel beyond the horizon having only faith in the words of their ancestors. The answers can be found within the mythical recitals by understanding the vocabulary used at the source of intellectual symbols. Without a doubt, the approach of a linguist is necessary.In Tahitian cosmogony, the God Ta'aroa created the world. The sky was attached to the earth and in order to separate them; he used ten pillars "Pou", that are marked by stars in the sky called "'Anā". Celestial bodies move across the dome sky by following pathways called "Rua" and each pathway is highlighted by a dominant star called "Ta'urua". This conceptualization of the sky gave Tahitians a remarkable instrument for measuring space and time. The lexicon of astronomy terms numbers nearly two hundred. Understanding them leads one to discover their ancient science.

26	A Translation of Dominik Nagl’s Grenzfälle with an Introductory Analysis of the Translation Process Keady, Joseph 01 February 2020 (has links) My thesis is an analysis of my own translation of a chapter from Dominik Nagl's legal history 'Grenzfälle,' which addresses questions of citizenship and nationality in the context of the German colonies in Africa and the South Pacific. My analysis focuses primarily on strategies that I used in an effort to preserve the strangeness of a linguistic context that is, in many ways, "foreign" to twenty first-century North Americans while also striving to avoid reproducing the violence embedded in language that is historically laden with extreme power disparities.
