  • The Hawaiianhulaand legacies of institutionalization

    Using the Hawaiian hula tradition as a case study, this article explores archival institutionalization of knowledge and contents necessary for performance. The fact that the performance skills of hula remained in continuous practice is what allowed a successful revival in the late 20th century of poetic repertoire that had become entombed in archival sources by the end of the 19th century. I consider the role of archives as a form of memory, part…

  • Pacific-ing Asian Pacific American History

    Amy K StillmanARTICLEJournal of Asian American Studies2004Cited by: 3References: 2

    The positioning of the Pacific Islands and Pacific Islander Americans within the disciplinary arena called Asian American Studies can best be described as vexed. Heated debates between Pacific Islander members around a proposal to change the name of the Association for Asian American Studies in 2003–2004, by adding "Pacific" or "Pacific Islander" between "Asian" and "American," represent only the latest periodic recurrence of ongoing negotiations…

I describe the competition events and examine how their circumstances have impacted repertoire, performance, and presentation. Understanding how genre conventions have changed in the context of competition structures is fundam…

  • Not All Hula Songs Are Created Equal: Reading the Historical Nature of Repertoire in Polynesia

    Amy K Stillman, Amy Ku''Uleialoha Stillman et al.ARTICLEYearbook for Traditional Music1995

    Les chants hula hawaiens illustrent l'interdependance du repertoire et de l'action sociale. L'A. considere les questions de chronologie, de temporalite et d'interdependance dans les domaines de la poesie, de la musique et de la danse. La temporalite est fixee dans ces trois domaines. Lire la nature historique des chants hula rend explicite les multiples temporalites. Les textes poetiques font reference a une succession lineaire de circonstances h…
