Binational Pearl Harbor? Tora! Tora! Tora! and the Fate of (Trans)national Memory
The fifty-year anniversary of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States, signed on January 19, 1960, was not exactly a cause for unrestrained celebration. In 2010, contentious disagreements over the relocation and expansion of the American military presence in Okinawa, lawsuits against the Toyota Motor Corporation, ongoing restrictions on the import of American beef, and disclosures of secret pacts that hav…

Epilogue
It is apparent that the past has a robust future. With the intensification of globalization comes an increase in discourses of the past, accompanied by an expansion of memory studies in the academy. This "memory moment" is generating research on topics that are at once intensely personal and political. Anthropological approaches capable of linking the affective textures of personal experience with the broad sweep of collective histories are well …
National subjects
Despite a long tradition of writing on collective representations of the past, anthropology has contributed relatively little to the expanding literature on national memory. Yet ethnographic approaches have the facility to delineate practices that create historical narrative and give it emotive power while keeping in view longer‐term political forces that underwrite dominant imaginaries. In this article I inquire into the discursive origins of em…

Pearl Harbor and September 11
Recent events provide a stark reminder that we live in a global society where major events affect everyone, across borders, regions, and cultures. Yet, despite the intensification of global interconnections effected by worldwide flows of capital and culture, the meanings of September 11 continue to be constructed in sharply nationalist terms. This may be especially so for Americans who were the primary targets of the 2001 attacks, and who general…

Perilous Memories
The study of how stakeholders battle over memory has become in the last decade or so a booming historical field. The Asia-Pacific War has been a particularly contentious topic; witness, for example, the recent Korean and Chinese diplomatic protests against Japanese history textbooks that whitewash atrocities committed by the Imperial Army. Perilous Memories both joins the fray and furthers our scholarly understanding of this particular, highly co…

Disappearing Worlds
In this paper we look at relations between anthropology, cultural studies, and native studies on the basis of their practice in the Pacific, focusing particularly on the history of anthropology at the University of Hawai'i. We draw attention to the absence of Pacific Islanders and, specifically, of Hawaiians as authors, agents, and practitioners of anthropology. Having noted these absences, we probe disciplinary practices that (re)produce boundar…

Perilous Memories
Histories and Subjectivities
Disciplining Time
Questions of 'self' in the research paradigms of developmental psychology raise similar issues to those associated with comparative studies of the self in cultural anthropology. In both cases, long-running theoretical arguments hinge on questions of 'how much constructivism is enough?' These questions, in turn, point to methodological choices concerned with the role of language or, more broadly, communicative practice in emergent formations of id…

Emotional Remembering
This paper examines spaces in between the "out there" of collective representation and the "in here" of personal cognition and emotion by focusing on acts of public remembrance that are at once individual and collective, personal and national. Reporting on research carried out at the U.S. national memorial to the bombing attack at Pearl Harbor that drew America into World War II, the paper analyzes the discourse of "survivors" who present persona…

Conceptual Universale in Interpersonal Language
A comparison of models of cognitive organization in the personality descriptors of three languages indicates that common conceptual themes underlie the meanings and uses of personality descriptors cross-culturally. Two crosscutting dimensions, interpreted as solidarity/conflict and dominance/submission, consistently organize the interrelation of trait-descriptors in a number of distinct languages. This finding leads to the speculation that these …

Ambiguity and ambivalence in A'ara personality descriptors
The conceptual organization of personality descriptors in the A'ara language of Santa Isabel, Solomon Islands, is represented in a combined dimensional and hierarchical model. The model reflects both universal dimensions and cultural ideals described for other Melanesian societies. Variation in descriptor meanings is examined through measurement of ambiguity in terms of a hierarchical structure and through semantic shifts in social context. Shift…

Introduction
Mythic History and National Memory
The concept of 'mythic history' points to the role of public history as moral narrative, a form of identity discourse that works to create social and emotional meaning. The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into World War II represents one such mythicized moment in American national history. This paper examines the interplay of various narrative practices used to mark the 50th anniversary of that event, including med…

Social images and social change in a Melanesian society
A conceptual model of social images depicts the attribution of personal traits to a range of leadership statuses and to a Christian Person by A'araspeakers of Santa Isabel, Solomon Islands. The model suggests that the contrast of mission- and government-type leaders, as well as that of Christian and traditional aspects of A'ara social identity, are built upon an underlying opposition of traits of social harmony and social dominance.

Interest in has burgeoned in the last decade, not only in anthropology, but in psychology (e.g. 5, 77,113, 141), sociology (e.g. 72, 81), philosophy (e.g. 153, 177), history (e.g. 180), and feminist studies (e.g. 176). A concern to understand the role of the emotional in personal and social life has developed in response to a number of factors, including dissatisfaction with the dominant cognitive view of humans as mechanical information processo…

For people who live in small communities transformed by powerful outside forces, narrative accounts of culture contact and change create images of collective identity through the idiom of shared history. How may we understand the processes that make such accounts compelling for those who tell them? Why do some narratives acquire a kind of mythic status as they are told and retold in a variety of contexts and genres? Identity Through History attem…
