News Media in National and International Conflict
Alarming Reports
News stories provide an essential confirmation of our ideas about who we are, what we have to fear, and what to do about it: a marketplace of ideas, shopped by rational citizen decision makers but also a shared resource for grounding our contested narratives of identity in objective reality. News as a fundamental social process comes into being not when an event takes place or when a report of the event is created but when that report becomes new…
Our Wealth Is Loving Each Other
The method of hope
Cobo and tabua in Fiji
Cultural currency, defined in performance terms, is a highly specific medium for the deployment of sentiment in community life, and it can be usefully compared with varieties of material currency. Sentiment, as a cultural system, is an intellectual rather than a material property, and, like all property, it is defined by social relationships and obligations. Cultural currencies are performances that are constrained in use by meaning and identity,…
Aesthetics, Intuition, and Reference in Fijian Ritual Communication
The ethnographic interpretation of "meaningless" ritual-ritual in which participants are not able to give verbal accounts of the symbolic meanings involved-poses basic questions about the relationships among language, culture, and meaning. Along with verbal meaning expressible in language, rituals are often observed to have important practical meaning outside of language. Aside from basic how-to, facilitating dimensions, practical meaning systems…

Personal Names as Narrative in Fiji
In every society, proper names, as well as all words that are being used to make to a specific object rather than a class or category, are a point of contact between language and local, concrete reality of world. Culturally specific of language and constitute, in a broad sense, differences among societies, while concrete, physical, and biological reality represents a starting point of commonality from which some degree of commensurability is atta…

Impressive Speeches and Persuasive Talk
Structural Communication and Control Communication
Law and other modes of conflict control are defined processually by the interaction of control communication and structural communication. Communication produces social order through both substantive and formal ordering processes, and control communication systems of various kinds impose forms of order congruent with their own inherent formal and substantive natures upon the structural communication subject to their operations
Fijian Gossip as Adjudication
Analysis of informal, customary legal processes in terms of indigenous communication behavior provides a broad social contextualisation that illuminates the meaning and social impact of fundamental procedural modes. In Fiji, the sequential use of culturally recognised speech acts, when the topic concerns conflict resulting from alleged deviant behavior, follows a pattern that is analogous to "adjudication" in formal systems. Conceptualisation of …
Ethnology
Conflict, ritual, and social structure on Yanuyanu Island, Fiji
Conflict management on Yanuyanu island in the Southern Lau Group of Fiji is accomplished by a variety of means, some traditional and others of recent introduction (Arno 1978).1 In general, however, traditional methods are dominant, and whatever procedures might be used in the course of a conflict, a final resolution almost always involves reference to the principle of hierarchy ? usually, although not always, expressed in a ritual of apology and …
