Early photographers encounter Tongans
Four early photographers are examined here in relation to their encounters with Tongans and Tonga. These photographers are Andrew Garrett, Gustav Adolph Riemer, Clarence Gordon Campbell and Walter Stanhope Sherwill. Garrett, an American natural historian who specialized in shells and fish, took two ambrotypes of Tongans in Fiji in 1868, which are two of the earliest Tongan photographs known. Riemer, born in Saarlouis, Germany, was a marine photog…
Carved komari (vulva) stones from Rapa Nui
The authors examine selected stone objects in the J.L. Young Collection, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Two were named by Young "Maea Momoa" (ma'ea momoa; lit. 'stone for chickens'). One of the ma'ea momoa is a "pillow stone" (ŋarua) or basaltic beach cobble incised with komari (vulva motifs). The other is a "Bar of stone" lavishly embellished with similar motifs. Six other objects are said to be "fetish stones". A possible 'Orongo provenanc…
Two Hawaiian dancers and their daughters
Two Hawaiian women, born around the turn of the 19th century into the 20th, became students, performers and finally acknowledged repositories of hula and its associated knowledge. They passed on their expertise and knowledge in many ways to many others, and especially to one daughter each, who has passed it on yet again. This narrative of aspects of these womenâ€TMs lives focusses on their learning and teaching, and contributes to a deeper unders…

Se explican los motivos y coremas como la base de las danzas, impor tantes para el estudio tanto de la estructura como del estilo. Luego se examinan éstos últimos como aspecto…
Sister Malia Tu'ifua
This portrait of Sister Tu'ifua (1924-2007), explores the life of high-ranking Halakihe'umata Tu'ifua from her inauspicious birth in Lapaha, Tonga, to her profession in becoming a Roman Catholic nun and her subsequent work for the church. The account details several features of her early life: her love of dancing and performing, her interaction with American servicemen during the Second World War, and her reason for becoming a nun. It then follow…
Chanting Grief, Dancing Memories
IntroductionThroughout Polynesia, death and funerals were, and in some islands still are, some of the most important social events, with unbounded grief often expressed. Immediate expressions of grief might be voiced in special ways and categorised with special terms, such as tangi in Aotearoa (New Zealand), and poetic eulogies might be composed some time after a death has occurred. Though these are often mentioned in ethnographic literature, not…
Music and Dance as Export and Import
This essay explores music/dance as a cultural export and import, and how it may be changed and interpreted/reinterpreted by the exporter and importer, using Japan as a case study. Although I am a Pacific anthropologist, I have studied a variety of Asian musics and dances, as well as Pacific ones. I started my studies of Japanese music and dance forms in Hawai'i and extended them in Japan, especially my studies of gagaku, bugaku, and kagura. I als…
Interpreting Ritual as Performance and Theory Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania 2010 Distinguished Lecture
The paper looks at specific rituals and their relationships with dance in Hawaii, Tonga, Bulgaria, and India. These four short case studies explore the relationship between dance and ritual, in particular how dance is presented as representing the ritual past. I bring ‘structured movement,’ as one of ritual's distinguishing marks, to center stage to explore how ritual movement and dance are related

Encounters with Greatness
Pussycats probably had more opportunities to visit Queen Victoria than ordinary — or even not so ordinary — people of her realm. With the invention of photography, however, and especially the widespread circulation of cartes-de-visite, Queen Victoria and other important people reversed their usual roles and went to visit ordinary citizens via the photograph, as the name of the photographic process implies. 1 J. E. Mayall, an American photographer…

structuralism and post (post)modern discourse that no longer includes geniuses? Is it appropriate to provide such a subjective, romantic narrative of Laban's life, who lived through the Third Reich? His attitude toward National Socialism was indecisive, to put it mildly, and that is still the subject of controversy in Germany, as can be seen in the book Tanz unterm Hakenkreuz (Dancing Under the Swastika) by Marion Kant and Lilian Karina. His comp…
II. Dance Ethnology and the Anthropology of Dance
This essay discusses the development of dance ethnology and the anthropology of dance from the perspectives of a scholar who has been a participant observer for more than 50 years. It reviews the major theoretical approaches, including functionalism, structuralism, and symbolic anthropology, and discusses the contributions of major scholars. It concludes with a discussion of the current state of the field and suggests future directions

The Mystique of Fieldwork
In 1969 Donald MacRae, in a lively article in New Society, attempted to find the key that separated sociology from anthropology. He concluded that anthropologists 'have, in principle, all undergone the ordeals of a common rite de passage, i.e. they have all undergone at least a year of field work in some exotic area. The field notes of this year are their store of magic potency, their manna. It is the magical element in this that makes them spend…

Dance in Anthropological Perspective
Method and Theory in Analyzing Dance Structure with an Analysis of Tongan Dance
D ance ethnology, with its relatively recent history, has so far been mainly concerned with description and comparison. Dance ethnologists are usually dancers who look at dance as a thing in itself that can be studied in isolation from its cultural context and can be described and compared with other dance forms. Often they either don't know or don't care about the ethnology part of dance ethnology. Using descriptive tools, they record a dance as…

An attempt is made to identify the study of dance as a specialization and peripheral interest within each of the four fields of anthropology, in order to suggest how our understanding of Homo sapiens may be enhanced by dance study. The neglect, gestation, and emergence of the anthropological study of dance, its theoretical and methodological areas of consensus and disagreement, and some specific approaches and their strengths and limitations are …

Poetics and politics of Tongan laments and eulogies
The aesthetic and political importance of oratory in Tongan laments and eulogies is the focus of this article. A series of historic poetic texts are presented as frames for an interpretation of the politics of prestige and power. These socially realized cultural constructions of emotion illustrate how written texts that are essentially oratorical are interpreted and explained in the oral tradition; how they impose knowledge about social order thr…
Eighteenth Century Tonga
Although Tonga was discovered in I6I6 by Le Maire, fleetingly described by Tasman in I643, and the northern islands were seen by Wallis in I767, real knowledge of Tongan culture had to await Captain Cook's visits. The written accounts and ethnographic collections resulting from Cook's voyages are often our major source for understanding the character of Tongan culture in the eighteenth century. Yet, despite drawings, descriptions, and identificat…

In many parts of Polynesia dance is well known as a highly structured activity with precise choreography and meticulous movements, performed by large (or small) groups with precision timing-characterized by Captain Cook in Tonga as follows: All their motions were performed with such justness that the whole party moved and acted as one man (Beaglehole 1967: 109). On the other hand, Polynesian dancers are also well known for their ability to perfor…

Acculturation in Hawaiian Dance
Dance in Hawaii, before the coming of the Europeans, was an extension of poetry that honored the gods and chiefs, in the form of stylized visual accompaniment. Trained under the religious restrictions imposed by Laka, patron goddess of the hula , dancers were often part of the retinue of chiefly households. Hula schools (halau hula) were under the tutelage of a kumu hula ( hula teacher) who was a kahuna (priest). Schools and hula troupes were sub…

Four Lives, folklorists in North America have been shown that life history studies can be both scholarly and interesting without being composites of massive amounts of collected data, such as Leo Simmons' Sun Chief (1942). At most, more folklorists might now undertake the collection of life history, either as a narrative end in itself or as a method for understanding various folklore genres, and then wrestle with the problems of editorial methodo…
