Book excerpt: The news media in the South Pacific may be small--but the region has a diverse and vibrant mass communications industry. Ranging from the PNG Post-Courier (circulation 41,000) and Fiji Times to the fortnightly Tuvalu Echoes and monthly Madang Watcher; from EMTV's nationwide broadcasts via the Indonesian Palapa satellite to Niue's tiny television unity; or the PNG National Broadcasting Commission's Kalang and Karai services to Tokelau's traffic-and-weather broadcasts; the media caters for an audience and readership scattered over many islands and atolls. In French Polynesia, for example, the radio and television stations broadcast to 160,000 people spread over an ocean territory as large as Europe. Niue has a population of barely 2000; Papua New Guinea has more than four million. In Nius Bilong Pasifik, 18 leading Pacific journalists, academics and media commentators explore the nature and problems of the contemporary Pacific mass communications industry. Edited by University of Papua New Guinea journalism lecturer and author David Robie, this is a unique book for Pacific journalism educators, students, sociology and political science scholars, media watchers and professional journalists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1998 book examines a range of nineteenth-century European accounts from the Pacific, depicting Polynesian responses to imported metropolitan culture, in particular its technologies of writing and print. Texts designed to present self-affirming images of 'native' wonderment at European culture in fact betray the emergence of more complex modes of appropriation and interrogation by the Pacific peoples. Vanessa Smith argues that the Pacific islanders called into question the material basis and symbolic capacities of writing, even as they were first being framed in written representations. Examining accounts by beachcombers and missionaries, she suggests that complex modes of self-authorization informed the transmission of new cultural practices to the Pacific peoples. This shift of attention towards reception and appropriation provides the context for a detailed discussion of Robert Louis Stevenson's late Pacific writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Foster shows us how seemingly banal activities like making a phone call, chewing betel nut, watching a Coke commercial may give important insights into the ways in which the nation is constructed, materialized or contested."—Orvar Löfgren, author of On Holiday: A History of Vacationing Why, in the current era of globalization, does nationality remain an important dimension of personal and collective identities? In Materializing the Nation, Robert J. Foster argues that the contested process of nation making in Papua New Guinea unfolds not only through organized politics but also through mundane engagements with commodities and mass media. He offers a thoughtful critique of recent approaches to nationalism and consumption and an ethnographic perspective on constructs of the nation found in official policy documents, letters to the editor, school textbooks, song lyrics, advertisements, and other materials. This volume will appeal to readers interested in the links among nationalism, consumption, and media, in Melanesia and elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term Polynesia refers to a cultural and geographical area in the Pacific Ocean, bound by what is commonly referred to as the Polynesian Triangle, which consists of Hawai'i in the north, New Zealand in the southwest, and Easter Island in the southeast. Thousands of islands are scattered throughout this area, most of which are currently included in one of the modern island states of American Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Hawai'i, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu, and Wallis and Futuna. The third edition of the Historical Dictionary of Polynesia greatly expands on the previous editions through a chronology, an introductory essay, an expansive bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Polynesian history from the earliest times to the present. Appendixes of the major islands and atolls within Polynesia, the rulers and administrators of the 13 major island states, and basic demographic information of those states are also included.

Book excerpt: Das vorliegende Buch ist das Ergebnis einer mehrjahrigen wissenschaftli chen Auseinandersetzung mit der lnselwelt des Siidpazifiks. Die zugrunde liegenden F orschungen fanden in den Jahren 1992 bis 1995 in Fidschi und den umgebenden lnselstaaten statt und miindeten in einer Dissertation mit dem Titel "taukei und vulagi -Ursachen politi scher lnstabilitat in Fidschi; Kulturwandel, ethnische Kontlikte und die Bedeutung des Hauptlingswesens: die fidschianische Perspektive". Zusatzliches Material wurde 1996 und 1997 vor Ort erhoben und findet hier seine Beriicksichtigung. Die jiingsten Ent wicklungen in Zusammenhang mit der lmplementierung einer neuen Ver fassung fUr Fidschi und die Wiederaufnahme Fidschis in den British Commonwealth of Nations werden angesprochen und bilden den SchluB punkt dieser Arbeit, deren Schwerpunkt einer umfassenden Darstellung hi storischer Ereignisse und Entwicklungen und daraus resultierender Konse quenzen fUr die rezente Situation Fidschis gewidmet ist. Ausgangspunkt fUr die intensive Beschaftigung mit der Region war mein Interesse fUr politische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen in ehemals ko lonisierten Staaten vor dem jeweiligen soziokulturellen und soziookonomi schen Hintergrund, unter Beriicksichtigung der Konsequenzen kolonialer EintluBnahme und der einzelnen Phasen der Dekolonisation. Die Ergebnisse zweier Forschungsaufenthalte in Fidschi im Jahr 1992 und 1993 dienten bereits im Jahr 1993 als Grundlage fUr eine Diplomarbeit mit dem Titel: "Ethnische Heterogenitat in Fidschi als Erbe britischer Kolonial politik und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Fidschianervon 1858 bis heute."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines race relations in Australia through various media representations over the past 200 years. The early colonial press perpetuated the image of aboriginal people as framed by early explorers, and stereotypes and assumptions still prevail. Print and television news accounts of several key events in recent Australian history are compared and reveal how indigenous sources are excluded from stories about their affairs. Journalists wield extraordinary power in shaping the images of cultures and people, so indigenous people, like those in North America, have turned away from mainstream media and have acquired their own means of cultural production through radio, television, and multimedia. This study concludes with suggestions for addressing media practices to reconcile indigenous and non-indigenous people. This study will appeal to students and scholars studying mass media, particularly journalism and public relations, Australian history, and sociology.
