John Eccles’s Collection of Songs (1704) and John Walsh’s Publishing Model in the Early Eighteenth Century
Reviewing Eric Harbeson’s edition of John Eccles’s Judgment of Paris (1702)—part of the ongoing Works of John Eccles published by A-R Editions—Bryan White recently called for a careful appraisal of the composer’s anthology A Collection of Songs for One Two and Three Voices (1704) in order to understand better its relationship with other sources. This article takes up White’s challenge through close analysis of the 1704 Songs, focusing on the song…

Diaspora No More? The Role of Facebook in the Development of a Global Rotuman Community
This article is the product of nearly sixty years of ethnographic research among people from the island of Rotuma in the South Pacific, during which time the population has developed into a distinctive ethnic group that has scattered around the world. The processes by which a relatively isolated island-bound people transformed to a culturally conscious diasporic population are documented. Of special concern are the ways in which the Internet has …
Amphiregulin modifies the Minnesota Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease Risk Score
Key Points High-circulating AREG (≥33 pg/mL) reclassifies additional patients into HR categories and further refines the Minnesota aGVHD risk score. Patients with aGVHD and AREG ≥33 pg/mL have lower rates of steroid response, higher NRM, and poorer OS.
The Culture of Graves on Rotuma
In this article we look at graves on Rotuma, a volcanic island in the South Pacific, from a cultural and historical perspective. We argue that graves reflect attitudes towards death and ancestors, towards hierarchy and social position; that the location of graves involves spatial conceptions; that grave goods reflect notions of material value; and that grave visitations are indicative of the nature of social relationships between various categori…
Ethnography in the Digital Age
This essay explores the ways in which ethnography, both as a methodology and a product of research, has adapted to the rapid growth of digital technology and the new venues for research that it has spawned. On the one hand, digital technology affords social scientists new means of recording, storing, and analyzing data. On the other hand, digital media have been responsible for the creation of new venues for research, mostly on the Internet in th…
Compositional Strategies in Purcell’s Second Three-Part Fantazia
This article examines the sources of Purcell’s second three-part fantazia for evidence pertaining to Purcell’s creative process, both in the autograph and other sources and in the details of the music they preserve. This method, combining paleography and analytical interpretation in light of contemporaneous sources, is proposed as a means of analysis for this repertoire with a demonstrable basis in historically relevant theoretical literature
Rotumans in Australia and New Zealand
As members of the Fiji polity, people from the isolated island of Rotuma have been able to move freely about the archipelago, leading to stepwise-migration internationally, with Australia and New Zealand as primary destinations. Rotuman men engaged in the pearl-diving industry in the Torres Strait in the late nineteenth century, who married local women, were among the first documented migrants to Australia. Following World War II, a steady stream…
Concepts of Creativity in Seventeenth-Century England
The first genuinely interdisciplinary study of creativity in early modern England In the seventeenth century, the concept of creativity was far removed from most of the fundamental ideas about the creative act - notions of human imagination, inspiration, originality and genius - that developed in the eighteenthand nineteenth centuries. Instead, in this period, students learned their crafts by copying and imitating past masters and did not conscio…
Ethnicity, nationality, and the rights of indigeneity
On 13 July 2000, Interim Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase presented to the Great Council of Chiefs in Fiji a document titled ‘Blueprint for the protection of Fijian & Rotuman rights and interests, and the advancement of their development,’ a set of proposals that covered ‘issues which have been of great concern to Fijians and Rotumans regarding the security of their rights and interests as the indigenous communities in Fiji, and also the advancemen…
Traditionality and Cancer Screening Practices Among American Indian Women in Vermont
The study purpose was to examine the relationship between cancer screening and traditionality, using a culturally specific survey instrument. American Indian (AI) women were randomly selected from the Vermont Breast Cancer Surveillance System (VBCSS), a statewide mammography database. The 13 items that assessed traditionality examined identity, cultural beliefs, customs, and health practices. The sample of 115 was predominately married, educated,…
Composition as an Act of Performance
Since God so tender a regard is one of a small number of ‘domestic sacred’ pieces Purcell entered into his manuscript scorebook, London, British Library, Add. MS 30930. Its particular interest lies in its construction over a ground bass, and the range of artificial devices Purcell employs in its setting. Its background in seventeenth-century psalm settings, and its likely performance circumstances, allowed Purcell to turn these features to rhetor…
The Making of the Film the Land Has Eyes
The Land Has Eyes is a full-length feature film set on the Polynesian island of Rotuma in the South Pacific. The film was written and directed by Vilsoni Hereniko, who was born and raised on the island, and coproduced by his wife, Jeannette Paulson Hereniko. It is the first film to be nominated for an academy award by the Republic of Fiji. This paper documents the issues involved in making the film, including the logistic and cultural problems co…

Problem Cyanobacterial Blooms
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) have become an issue of increasing concern to water-resource managers in recent years. Cyanobacterial blooms form when a large population migrates to the lake surface. Vertical migration is controlled by the physiological response of the cyanobacteria to changes in hydro-environmental conditions. The mechanics of bloom formation are considered in detail. Additionally cyanobacteria move across a water-body by entra…
History in Polynesia; Changing perspectives and current issues
In Polynesia, as elsewhere, historical approaches in anthropology have come into vogue again after a hiatus during which functional, structural and cognitive studies predominated.1 The new historiographies have brought with them new problems and dilemmas, which I will try to identify. In particular, I would like to draw attention to issues of discourse, that is, the language including underlying assumptions in which historical approaches have bee…

Selective migration from Samoa
In 1981 extensive questionnaire and interview data were collected on some 100 young Samoan adults. Five years later in 1986 we determined their whereabouts and divided the data in accordance with migration status. The answers of the 35 who had migrated in the intervening period were contrasted to those 65 who remained in Samoa. The migrants differed in several distinct areas. Migrants reported a higher degree of peer-reliance as a personal adapti…

Interactional Psychology
Recent developments in psychology are bringing about a rapprochement between behaviorists, trait psychologists, and psychodynamically oriented theorists. The incipient perspective, which has been labeled "interactional psychology," focuses on persons-in-situations and raises some penetrating questions for psychological anthropology. Attempts by interactionists to reconcile traditional concepts of "personality" with evidence demonstrating the powe…
Pre-Marital Sex and Social Control among the Rotumans1
Decision Making and the Study of Social Process
Within the limits set by structural arrangements and by institutions, individuals choose their course of action. Anthropologists have always been interested in the outcome of these choices either because they reflect ongoing change or because they elucidate interrelations between institu tions. In order for decision-making analysis to be more than anecdotal, however, it needs to be guided by a set of assumptions concerning reasoning and cognitive…
Dispute Management in Rotuma
This essay concerns the genesis and management of disputes on the island of Rotuma in the Republic of Fiji. Although disputes are endemic to the culture, they rarely lead to physical violence. The analysis presented here aims to illuminate the mechanisms that keep disputes from escalating to violent confrontations. The mechanisms discussed include a socialization pattern based on a high valuation of children, shaming rather than physical punishme…

The World as Emblem
TN THE PAST THIRTY YEARS, a good deal of critical attention has been concentrated on the paradoxes posed by Edward Taylor's role as an American Metaphysical.' From his life and teachings Taylor emerges as a strong, even reactionary exponent of the New England Way in theology and church polity;2 yet his poetry suggests a theology more like that of the Anglo-Catholics Donne and Herbert, supernaturalist and incarnational, admitting of miracles and t…
