民進黨立委陳瑩今質詢時爆料，外交部亞太司副司長林恩真，去年在晚宴上竟當著紐西蘭外賓的面，直稱當地原住民毛利人國王「沒有用」，相當失禮。本文順著火熱的「毛利國王無用論」話題，來談毛利國王成立的歷史背景，以及大洋洲其他較不為人知的皇室的故事。

會議資訊
大會緣起
南島民族國際會議論壇自2002年起至今已邁入第九年。南島民族國際會議的舉辦乃是期待透過南島原住民族代表的對話，來促進建構南島語系/國家之間的互動網絡，除了提升社會大眾對於南島文化的瞭解，並且同時推動國際之間的文化聯繫，進而提升臺灣原住民的國際能見度與地位。
對南島民族而言，臺灣不僅是起站、交會點，也是建立友誼的驛站；而對台灣原住民而言，太平洋不僅僅是一個地理名詞，更是一個心靈與文化認同的來源──它的寬廣、神祕以及渡越的體驗，亦能激發其對於傳統文化的重新認知、重新創造，並建立以自身文化為基礎的世界觀。在「群島之洋」的意象中，語言、音樂、文學、藝術與宗教的隱喻以及跨文化的共鳴在這裡將融為一體。
近年來，臺灣與太平洋南島文化的連結和異同性，透過人類學、考古學和語言學等不同領域的研究和調查，亦逐漸具體地呈現在世人面前。本次2012年的南島民族國際會議以「潮浪譜寫共鳴－台灣原住民與南島民族的心靈會遇與歷史記憶」為題，期盼藉由歷史記憶與藝術文化之不同敘事發聲的交響與共鳴，讓國內外參與者瞭解台灣原住民與南島民族在歷史、文化、藝術、心靈探索等各方面的關係與聯結，促進台灣原住民族與太平洋之南島族群之文化交流與合作，進而提升台灣在全球與太平洋國際社會的能見度與重要性。
會議目的
一、藉由跨領域、跨族群的交流、對話與研討，將台灣原住民學術文化之研究網絡與太平洋地區及紐澳、加拿大、美國等各國執牛耳之南島文化學者及學術機構加以連結，拓展我國原住民文化／太平洋南島文化之學術資源網絡。
二、藉由大型國際研討會、頒獎等系列活動之舉辦，並與國內和國際媒體合作發布訊息（包括平面、電子及影視媒體），提高台灣原住民在世界各地、尤其在太平洋地區之能見度，並提升台灣原住民在國際社會與學術文化領域之地位。
三、延續行政院原住民族委員會過往的努力方向，並連結國內外相關機構，進一步建立南島語系民族交流合作網絡，同時提升全球大眾對南島文化的認知與尊重，共同為原住民的福祉而努力。

紀錄片資訊─〈潮浪譜寫共鳴〉
遠溯六千年前，台灣東部即為民族大遷移的起點，並形成現今的南島世界；而這裡正是許多台灣原住民的家園，他們有些定居於靠海的平原，有些則住在山林之中。台灣文化傳統的多樣性，以及其與太平洋世界的關連，從地形上便可窺見：中央山脈貫穿了台灣全島，有一百多座高達三千多公尺的山峰，自北端不斷綿延至南端。而在中央山脈的東方，海岸山脈再將陸地一分為二，其中一塊陸地座落於兩座山脈之間，另一則直接面向太平洋。
太平洋，不僅是一個具體空間，更是孕育故事與傳說的神祕空間。海洋的寬廣與越洋的經歷，譜寫著南島民族的神話、詩歌、音樂與歷史，正如不斷衝擊海岸的浪潮，在此邊界中的島嶼共同見證著文化傳統的起落。隨著潮起潮落，台灣成為起點、中介點，同時也是故事的終點。
這是一部關於台灣原住民與南島民族間歷史記憶交織的故事，並訴說南島民族如何融合本土文化與國際視野。片中主角是來自台灣東部的原住民青年，他們在加拿大溫哥華與島上的第一民族相遇，交流了彼此的歌曲、舞蹈文化。接著鏡頭轉回台灣東岸，展現了原住民部落保存傳統文化的方式。我們也帶領大家一同探索美拉尼西亞與玻里尼西亞的生活與文化，並參與在索羅門群島舉辦的第十一屆太平洋藝術節：這次美麗的際遇也寫在紀錄片中。
我們期待，透過連結南島民族努力提升文化、社會、政治與心靈的自我意識，培育台灣青年——特別是原住民青年——對太平洋世界的歸屬感；更期望大家一同認識台灣原住民獨特且美麗的文化，並從故事、音樂與藝術中引發共鳴。

會議資訊
研討會提要
太平洋世界可謂是個「海洋大陸」(oceanic continent)，世代以來的移民遷徙及文化交流都是對這片大陸的探索。海上島嶼居其要衝，種種探索活動在此成形，不斷上演，構築出對太平洋的界線、輪廓及其間動態的多樣觀點。
本次國際研討會是台灣太平洋研究學會所舉辦的第一次會議，旨在探討各地居民尤其是南島語族如何在不同年代發展出各自的太平洋觀。太平洋探索活動具有諸多樣貌，從人群擴散遷徙的途徑、血緣系譜，到傳說與歌謠，乃至於星象觀察及地理圖冊都是其中的一部分。將這一切視為不可化約且有機的整體來考量，將有助於新一代學者挑戰既有的太平洋觀也有助於這片「海洋大陸」的居民更進一步豐贍發展理解自己的歷史、未來及其與世界其他部分互動的內涵。
換言之，本次研討會具有雙重目標。其一在於釐清太平洋探索活動(mapping)所具有的多樣性，以求進一步挑戰既有的太平洋史觀、地觀與人觀其次在於邀集年輕一輩的學者交流討論在不同領域中觀看、體驗、探索太平洋所獲致的研究成果。而身處亞洲大陸與太平洋之間、同時也被學界認為是南島語族向太平洋擴散起源地的台灣也將參與本次會議，並提出由台灣所見、既邊陲又核心的太平洋觀點。

講題：台灣是南島語族的起源嗎？ Is Taiwan the homeland of the Austronesian-speaking people?
摘要
南島語族大約有2億5000萬人口，主要分散在廣大的太平洋中。關於這些人群是從哪裡來，在學者有不同的意見。台灣起源說，目前似是其中的主流。本文欲藉由最新的考古資料，對這一個假說重作檢視。
Patrick Savage

Patrick Savage大學於美國麻省安莫斯特學院（Amherst College）主修音樂，目前在加拿大麥克馬斯特大學（McMaster University）大學攻讀心理、神經科學與人類行為學的碩士，碩士論文研究是以音樂作為分析人類遷徙的核心方法，用以探討史前時期人類的移動路徑。他曾於2007至2008年在日本京都的同志社大學（Doshisha University）擔任「音樂語言與文化」的講師。目前與其指導教授Steven Brown共同致力於以音樂作為主要的推論太平洋地區的南島語族遷移模式的核心方法，著重於推論時間、起源、以及音樂中與非南島語族的混雜程度，並已發表數篇會議論文。
講題: Music as a marker of human migrations
邱斯嘉
我自加州大學柏克萊分校人類學系獲得博士學位後，便開始在中央研究院人文與科學研 究中心的考古研究專題中心工作，目前的職位是副研究員。田野工作的地區除了台灣以外，也包括、夏威夷、東加王國、新喀尼多尼亞、萬納度及所羅門群島等大洋 洲島嶼。過去六年來所執行的研究計畫都是針對Lapita殖民型態進行更為詳細的研究，並說明史前一連串互動交易體系業已存在，而這些互動交易體系如何幫 助南島語族的殖民群體在新殖民地上適應及改變各地的生態環境，並發展各自的社群與文化內涵。我主要從三個不同方向來從事此一方面的研究：
1.開發並建立一Lapita陶器的線上資料庫系統，以促進考古相關資訊的流通與應用。
2.透過裝飾藝術分析來研究物質象徵與社會發展之間的互動關係。
3.針對新喀尼多尼亞Lapita陶器進行化學及岩象分析，利用材料的來源來辨識史前交易體系的特質。
過去所獲得的研究獎助，包括了多年期的構建Lapita線上資料庫計畫，三個國家科學委員會研究計畫（其中兩個得到行政院國家科學委員會人類學門「優秀年輕學者計畫」之獎勵），以及五個中央研究院的多年期計畫。
藉由調查大約3500年前、由東南亞引進到古代大洋洲的Lapita陶器生產與分 佈模型，透過器型、裝飾，及各式化學組成成分分析(XRF, INNA, ICP-MS)來研究新喀里多尼亞、索羅門群島、巴布新幾內亞，以及萬納度所出土的Lapita陶器，我專注於研究此一新技術在殖民適應方式策略上的應用 模式。研究興趣包括殖民模式、社會認同的物質表現、社會複雜化的發展方式、社會與經濟的互動網絡，陶器生產方面的增量及特殊化、考古測量學、陶器生產技術 與工作鍊，以及利用家屋社會的概念來解釋古代社會關係。
講題: 從Lapita陶器來看南島語族社群的殖民故事。The way of doing things: what can Lapita pottery tells us about the stories of Austronesian expansion

講題: 大洋洲之東南亞與美拉尼西亞之種群遷徙路線
摘要：
粒線體 DNA（即mtDNA）和Y染色體非重組區（NRY）分別單由母親遺傳給女兒，或單由父親遺傳給兒子。目前他們的多型（polymorphism）[1]已初步受到了遍佈全球的研究，藉以論證「起源自非洲」的假說。在這裡，為了要更妥善理解東亞地區各種群的複雜動態，我們使用了粒線體DNA高變異區（高變異 一區及二區(HVS I & II)）和相關編碼區的多型以分析來自東南亞島嶼、台灣和福建等一千四百人的基因檔案。種系發生史當中最能代表一個演化枝（遺傳系譜樹的分支）的譜系受到了以粒線體基因組測序所做之進一步分析。最後，一個最簡約的系譜樹被建立起來，建構出今日有關島嶼東南亞（Island Southeast Asia）和台灣各種群之最先進的粒線體DNA資料集。為了取得一個比較客觀和平衡的遺傳學觀點，我們也對於由Y染色體單點核苷酸多型（Y SNP）和Y染色體短片段重複序列（Y - STR基因）的緩慢演變所獲得的父系多型加以分析。
粒線體DNA和Y染色體非重組區兩者齊為東亞、島嶼亞洲以及近大洋洲（Near Oceania）的進化歷史揭示了傑出的發現，並且也顯示：語言學、考古學、人口學和各種群的基因檔案之間的關係，實遠比先前的假設還要來得複雜。這項分析將運用一個概念的方法來加以討論。

Grant McCall
澳洲新南威爾斯大學University of New South Wales社會科學與國際研究學院教授
Grant McCall是一位社會人類學家，研究太平洋群島的民族與文化，特別是東波里尼西亞，從庫克群島的曼加伊亞（Mangaia）到復活島的Rapanui。 他最近的研究是全球化、記憶和殖民主義的”Matamu‘a”研究──這個字在Rapanui是用來指涉歷史。
一段時間以來，McCall教授召集了一個創新的田野調查課程，讓學生住在太平洋 島國的部落村莊，包活斐濟、所羅門群島、薩摩亞、東加以及新喀里多尼亞。他特別關注於那些標誌著島嶼社會的特點，並提出了Nissology的概念，意指 以島嶼本身的方式與詞彙來研究，作為聚焦於此研究的方式。
McCall教授曾是澳洲太平洋研究推動協會（the Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies, AAAPS）的副主席，目前是國際小島嶼研究協會（International Small Island Studies Association, ISISA）的主席。為了表彰他對地方社區的貢獻，韓國濟州島授予他榮譽市民，復活島Rapanui的長者理事會Te Mau Hatu則授予他榮譽會員。
Grant McCall曾擔任新南威爾斯大學南太平洋研究中心的主任（1987-2003），以及南太平洋資源中心的主任（2004-2008）。他也曾在哥本哈根 和南太平洋大學任教，赴倫敦、智利、康橋、夏威夷等濟州等地擔任訪問學人，並曾應邀至中國、斐濟、新喀里多尼亞、法國、日本、西班牙等國家發表主題演說。 著有《Rapanui: Tradition and Survival on Easter Island》（1994）等多種著作。
講題:Religious foundations and practices on Rapanui (Easter Island): History and the present day
Rapanui is the world's most remote inhabited place, the furthest east of the great Austronesian migrations originating in Taiwan centuries ago. The Rapanui arrived with an Eastern Polynesian religious practice, adapted it to their remote environment and in the latter pre-contact days, transformed their worship to symbols of climate change, the arrival of migratory birds in the Austral spring when the word (Orongo) went out to the island that another cycle of life had started. Missionary Catholicism arrived in 1864 and forms still the core of syncretic beliefs, with numerous other Protestant sects of recent arrival. This syncretism is demonstrated by the myth of why Rapanui changed from being the world's most isolated place prior to 1966 to its position now as a focus of some 50,000 tourists every year. "Myth" is used here in the Malinowskian sense of a "charter for belief". Rather than see the development of Pacific societies with a static map on their oceanic continent, this paper argues that we must look realistically what the late Epeli Hau'ofa called the "sea of islands" and their ever evolving cultures.

「中間者」的角色：跨文化對話與一則東台灣史的書寫實驗
摘要：
在研究東台灣歷史的同時，我注意到東台灣史與太平洋史的書寫之間存在著一些有趣的異同點：兩者主要都在書寫原住民族的過去；兩者也同樣面對著西方歷 史傳統的強勢挑戰，而西方歷史傳統本身便是一種特定的價值體系，與當地（東台灣或太平洋地區）的各個價值體系往往不可共量 （incommensurable）。今日許多太平洋作家堅持以傳統方式書寫自身（Self），而這或多或少得以自外於世界其他地區為代價。台灣致力於東 台灣史的歷史學家（漢人或南島民族皆然）則與此不同，泰半都在西方歷史傳統之內運作，且未必都已清楚認知到：隱身於歷史書寫背後的文化差異和衝突，最終可 能影響到「歷史」的書寫呈現。
身為南島民族（阿美族）的一份子，同時又是受西方學術訓練的歷史研究者，我最關切的課題在於溝通聯結不可共量的文化傳統的可能性：我們是否可能跨越學術上 的西方主義（Westernism）或原住民族主義（Indigenism）、解殖民和後殖民主義等種種爭論，進而提出一種非衝突性的新觀點，同時又在實 踐上著重文化傳統的相互認可及尊重？我認為這樣的新觀點有賴於一種「中間性」（inbetweenness）的存在，而此種特性通常（但並非僅）見於「文 化上的中間者」（cultural inbetweeners）。這種「中間」立場乍看之下未見得能在學術上受到歡迎，但這樣的態度或許最終將能創造出一種真正的跨文化對話（a real cross-cultural dialogue）——在文化碰撞遭遇的過程當中，既不解構參與對話的任何一種文化傳統，又對各方而言都始終維持著建設性。

展演活動：南島民族生活文化特展
島嶼之眼，海洋之心-台灣與南島民族之跨越與連結
台灣原住民族約有49萬人，其各族群不同的文化特色、工藝和歷史對我們而言是獨一 無二的美麗瑰寶和重要文化資產，另外，台灣長期以來也被外界指為是散布在印度洋和南太平洋近三億人口的南島語族的原鄉、祖源地。本次南島民族生活文化特 展，將以「南島再生新原力－台灣與太平洋南島民族之對話」作為本次活動主題，除了透由中英文展板展示臺灣與太平洋南島語族的遷徙路徑和原住民的生活藝術、 編織和工藝品，更將結合日籍學者岩佐嘉親先生於2008年3月17日捐贈給史前館之南島民族文物的介紹，作為台灣與南島民族文化的跨越與連結。
岩佐嘉親先生自1959年起，共前往大洋洲五十餘次，歷經半世紀的縱橫漂泊，從事 田野工作與文物採集，其捐贈史前館之大洋洲物件及文化意將讓國內外參與民眾藉由他的旅行地圖、田野照片與捐贈文物重新勾勒南島語族的遷徙路徑，並開啟台灣 與南島語族之新原力和對話，再次為原民文化注入一股嶄新能量並喚醒人們最原始的歷史記憶。本次以台灣觀點探索太平洋南島民族之歷史、現況和未來，並結合靜 態展覽之方式，除了為學術文化重新注入動感活力與生命力，更能讓國內外與會人士瞭解到物件與文物背後的文化圖像，創造心靈上的滿足與感動。更重的是，讓外 界瞭解到台灣對於南島民族文化和歷史傳承的重要性。
展覽主題：「南島再生新原力－台灣與太平洋南島民族之對話」
（一）南島語族的旅行地圖：
臺灣本島的南島民族，其語言文化保存許多其他地區所沒有的特徵，據瞭解有不少是從古南島民族所傳承下來的。因此瞭解古南島民族的遷徙歷程，將能連結台灣與南島語族的歷史。
（二）島繪臺灣原民文化：
藉由台灣原住民之服飾、文物和工藝來反應其多元之生活型態與傳統之祭典和禮俗。
（三）岩佐嘉親南島文物圖像：
透由岩佐嘉親在大洋洲五十餘次的旅行足跡和田野工作，瞭解不同島嶼之間的語言差異和文化軌跡。
她跳舞的時候，雖然只有一個鼓和她一個人的聲音，但彷彿她的身上發出強烈的光芒，我的眼睛完全都被她吸引住了，那種感覺是我從未有過的……──楊柏鈞，阿美族
謝謝航海的那位男生分享他出海的經驗……告訴我們要勇敢做自己想去做的事，在人生中有目標，有夢想是很美的大事情，就像航海一樣，雖然過程中會還到大風大浪！但能夠撐過去就會有晴天。──林偉凡，太魯閣族
今年六至七月間，斐濟航海家Setareki Ledua和薩摩亞舞蹈家Tupe Lualua應利氏學社及台灣太平洋研究學會之邀，來台進行為期六週的交流活動。繼6月5日在台大原住民圖書中心的首場發表會後，他們陸續走訪了花蓮、台東、 蘭嶼、屏東等地原住民部落、團體及各級學校，包括東華大學、台東大學、海星中學、關山工商、桃源國中小、蘭嶼高中、朗島國小、原舞者舞團、台東海端布農文 物館、屏東原住民文化園區，以及台東新香蘭、桃源、比西里岸、蘭嶼朗島、椰油等部落等地進行一連串的參訪交流、工作坊等活動。回國前，他們亦在耕莘文教院 舉辦最後一場發表會，向大家分享他們在台灣體驗的點滴。
七艘玻里尼西亞vaka大船從紐西蘭啟航，途中停泊大溪地、夏威夷，以及美國西岸的舊金山、聖地牙哥等地，他們以傳統航海術航行了將近兩年21,000哩，最後回到南太平洋。來自斐濟的Setareki Ledua是這批船隊中最年輕的大副，他的船名為”Uto Ni Yalo”，意為「神靈之心」(Heart of Spirit)。今年22歲的他出身於航海家族。2011年他加入了Pacific Voyager──以復興太平洋傳統航海文化為宗旨的團體──開始了他為期兩年的海上航程。
Tupe Lualua則是一位薩摩亞籍的女舞者、編舞家，目前在紐西蘭威靈頓擔任表演藝術講師，從事舞蹈創作及教育已有十年以上資歷。今年二月，Tupe擔綱編導的舞劇＂Fatu Na Toto＂(薩摩亞語意為「播下的種籽」)在紐西蘭公演，此舞劇是以一個移民紐西蘭的薩摩亞家庭為藍本，也就是Tupe原生家庭的故事。這齣舞劇「成功地將傳統薩摩亞舞蹈文化和現代表演元素結合，透過嶄新的編舞，擴展了故事的視界。（《紐西蘭劇評》）
長達一個半月的台灣旅程中，Tupe和Seta有一半以上的時間都在部落或學校與原住民交流互動。在花蓮海星中學，同學們的掌聲、舞步聲與歡呼聲響徹會場內外，活動後仍圍著Tupe和Seta不想離去；在台東首站的關山工商， 兩人到訪吸引了許多報社、電視台前來採訪，充滿即興表演與生命能量的交流節奏，連記者朋友都忍不住跟著舞動起來；在比西里岸和都蘭部落，他們和原住民孩子 一起打寶抱鼓、跳舞、跳進海水中游泳戲水；在海端和桃源，他們和布農族耆老交換著彼此的族語，並且為著諸多相似的語彙而共同感到驚訝；在蘭嶼，Seta划著拼板舟、Tupe和蘭嶼婦女一同吟唱的身影，讓人幾乎忘記他們的家鄉在遙遠的海洋彼方……
台大原住民族研究中心主任、同時亦為太平洋研究學會理事的童元昭老師表示，台灣是世界南島語族原鄉的看法已漸成共識。在台灣，原住民是少數，但從世界南島語 族的觀點來看，卻是地理範圍最廣、擁有兩億多人口的族群。台灣與太平洋南島民族的關係不見得有正式的歷史記載（例如大洋洲有許多台灣遠洋漁船的重要停泊 港），但不論從人群遷移、語言、音樂等各方面來看，都有非常密切的連結。
7月5日晚上在耕莘文教院，Tupe和Seta舉辦了回國前最後一次的公開發表，海星中學曾參與互動的同學們特地組隊北上，以優美的歌舞感謝他們來台灣所帶來的交流體驗。被問及台灣之行的感受與心得，Tupe表示：在台灣，最深刻的經驗是和部落族人、孩子們的互動，這互動不僅是透過視覺、聽覺等感官，更是整個人沉浸其中的心靈交流。即使有語言有所隔閡，但哪怕是一個笑容、一句吟唱、一個擁抱，或是共享食物……無論在哪一個部落，人們總是讓她感到像是回到了薩摩亞的家鄉。
台灣原住民復振文化的熱情與行動，也對Tupe和Seta有所啟發。未來，Tupe希望能夠在薩摩亞家鄉尋訪仍保有傳統舞蹈知識的老人，並鼓勵年輕人投入學習。雖然文化原就處於變動之中，但她仍希望或多或少能找回傳統的遺緒，並將它放入自己的教學和創作工作。而Seta則希望鼓勵更多台灣年輕人參與太平洋的航海行動，甚至將他們的船「划回」台灣。就像Seta說的，當他在夏威夷向耆老學習傳統航海術時，耆老曾對他說：「如果你們沒有對環境的意識和責任感，那我不會教導你們；如果你們藏私，不向他人分享，那我也不會教導你們。」他們在台灣所有的學習、交流與分享，都將轉化為未來行動與傳承的能量。
台灣太平洋研究學會將於2013年6月5日(週三)上午9時至下午5時，假國立臺灣大學圖書館B1國際會議廳舉辦"Embrace the Pacific--太平洋南島航海文化與藝術交流活動」。
當天將有《潮浪譜寫共鳴》等紀錄片放映會、斐濟航海文化與薩摩亞舞蹈藝術分享座談會，由來自斐濟的青年航海家Setareki Ledua和薩摩亞舞蹈家Tupe Lualua主講，歡迎及早報名參加，以免向隅！

Infprmation
The Pacific world can be seen as a "oceanic continent," mapped throughout the ages by migrations and exchanges. In its midst, islands are the vantage points from which different mapping strategies have been taking and are still taking place, offering a variety of viewpoints on the Pacific, its contours and its dynamics.
Synopsis
This conference – the first one organized by the Taiwan Society for Pacific Studies – aims at identifying the ways of mapping the Pacific in time and space that have been developed by islanders, especially by Austronesian populations. Such "mapping" has taken place through migration roads, tales, songs and genealogies, as well as by astronomic or geographic charts and artistic renderings. Taking these representations both in their irreducible variety and as an organic whole may help a new generation of scholars to challenges the usual ways of looking at the Pacific world, thus enabling the inhabitants of this "oceanic continent" to enrich and develop the interactive process through which they understand their history and destiny.
In other words, the objective of this conference is twofold: (a) accounting for the diversity of the "mappings" of the Pacific continent so as to challenge and renew historical, geographical and ethnographic insights on this part of the world; (b) allowing a younger generation of scholars to compare the insights they have gained in confronting local and global knowledge. Researchers from Taiwan the island between the Asian continent andthe Pacific, believed to be the starting point of Austronesian expansion into the Pacific, being the periphery and the core at the same time will also present their perceptions of this oceanic continent as it is observed and imagined from Taiwan.
The conference agenda was divided into four sub-topics:
- Routes and MigrationsMapping of the Pacific in terms of itineraries, migrations and spatial dynamics.
- Methods of MappingMapping through tales, genealogies, drawings and pictograms, history of modern mapping, mapping perspectives according to locations.
- Sacred Space-TimesSacred elements in traveling and mapping, missionary routes and their rationale, conversions, new religions and the blurring of traditional religious mappings.
- Alliances and ConflictsMaritime Law and the drawing of boundaries, boundaries and conflicts around natural resources, fishing rights, garbage disposal; representations of the Pacific space and diplomatic strategies.
Conference date
16-17 February, 2011

Celebrating Connections Among Our Sea Of Islands

Abstract
Beginning with Epeli Hau'ofa’s influential essay “Our Sea of Islands’, this presentation examines the various ways in which Hau`ofa’s vision of an inclusive Oceanian Identity is portrayed at the Oceania Centre at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, from 1997 when it was founded to the present. When founded, the Centre was a stand-alone unit at USP, focusing solely on non-formal programs in the arts, particularly painting and contemporary dance. Since Hau`ofa’s death in 2009, the Centre has become the “heartbeat” of USP, and in 2010, USP hired a new Director to integrate the Centre’s arts and cultures programs with academic research and teaching. With unprecedented support from the University toward all things Pacific, the Centre has now changed its name to Oceania Centre for Arts, Culture, and Pacific Studies. This presentation analyses the challenges to this new vision, as well as the opportunities and implications for a new kind of Pacific Studies, one that places the arts and cultures of Oceania on an equal footing with academic research and writing. And one that views Oceania as expanding and growing all the time.

Topic of Presentation:
The way of doing things: what can Lapita pottery tells us about the stories of Austronesian expansion
I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Anthropology of U.C. Berkeley. I am currently working as an Associate Research Fellow in the Center for Archaeological Studies, Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences, Academia Sinica. My field experience includes work in Taiwan, Hawaii, Kingdom of Tonga, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. During the past 6 years, projects that I have conducted so far all aim to bring more detailed information on the patterns of Lapita colonization, to illustrate whether a series of exchange networks existed in this region in the prehistory, and how these networks might have empowered the Austronesians to cope with the newly discovered landscapes. My research themes have been focusing on three major aspects:
1) development of an online database system for Lapita pottery; 2) motif analysis and the relationships between material symbols and social developments; and 3) petrographic and chemical analyses of New Caledonian Lapita pottery. I have conducted a multiple-year project on constructing the online Lapita database, three research projects funded by the National Science Council (two of them have received the “Outstanding Research Award” in the “Distinguished Young Scholars Research Projects” Category), and five multiple-year research projects funded by Academia Sinica.
By investigating the modes of ceramic production and distribution of ancient Oceanic societies some 3500 years ago, my research examines the adaptation strategies expressed materially in Lapita pottery, which was a technology newly introduced by the Austronesian-speaking populations from Southeast Asia to the Pacific. This work involves morphological, stylistic, and compositional (XRF, INNA, ICP-MS) analyses of Lapita pottery collected from New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu sites. My research interests include colonization strategy, materialization of social identity, the development social complexity, socio-economic exchange networks, the intensification and specialization of local pottery production, archaeometry, ceramic production techniques and operational sequences, and interpreting social relations utilizing a “House Societies” perspective.

BS (Santa Clara), MA (Hawaii), PhD (ANU)
Katerina is Pacific Studies Convener in the School of Culture, History and Language, Head of the Pacific group of scholars in CHL, Head of the Equity Project in CHL, and Head of the Pasifika Australia Outreach Program. She was born and raised in Fiji and is of Banaban, I-Kiribati and African American descent. Her research focuses on cultural policy and cultural industries in the independent Pacific; cultural approaches to Pacific regionalism; the Pacific diaspora; and phosphate mining history and culture on Banaba in Kiribati, Rabi Island, in Fiji and historically in Australia and New Zealand through the work of the British Phosphate Commissioners. You can read more about here research at the ANU Reporter.
She is a consultant with UNESCO on intercultural dialogue and sustainable development, and Austraining International and ANU Enterprises doing cross cultural and development training for the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development program.She also has a background in contemporary Pacific dance and was a founding member of the Oceania Dance Theatre at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji. You can read some essays on dance Katerina has written at Dances of Life and an opinion piece on representations of Fiji and the Pacific in the media at ABC The Drum Unleashed and the Canberra Times.
Abstract
In this presentation I explore the ways in which performing arts festivals, particularly the Festival of Pacific Artsheld every four years, shapes cultural and political relations in Oceania. Recently the Secretariat of the PacificCommunity has prioritised development through heritage and the arts in order to "structure the culture sector" in thePacific Islands. A major tool for this process is building cultural policies in each member state. I discuss the potentialimpact of this and the ongoing significance of cultural exchange and regional identity formation through the arts.
Research interests
Much of Katerina's research has focused on the histories of phosphate mining on Banaba/Ocean Island in Kiribati, and the ways in which these connect with the development of agriculture in Australia and New Zealand through the work of the British Phosphate Commissioners. She specifically looked at the movement of Banaban rock and the kinds of organic and inorganic relations created by the shipping, production and consumption of phosphate. In turn, she also looked at the ways in which indigenous Banabans make sense of this history and survive creatively in their new home of Rabi in Fiji. Her work has inspired a permanent exhibition at the Museum of New Zealand's Te Papa Tongarewa, which tells the story of phosphate mining in the Pacific through Banaban dance. She also writes on and has taught courses about popular culture and consumption, globalization, women's studies, contemporary Pacific dance studies, Pacific diasporas, visual ethnography, and theory and method for Pacific Studies. She is interested in the relations between island regions and from 2003-07 she was a member of the Islands of Globalization project team which connected the Pacific and the Caribbean through popular, policy and pedagogy projects. She is currently working on cultural policy and cultural industries in the Pacific following UNESCO frameworks and conventions.

“Discovering” Austronesia: The Study of Austronesian Discourses in Taiwan
Abstract
Austronesia was literally geographical and introduced by linguist to refer to a group of related languages. InTaiwan, the term Austronesian is significant since it involves in the process of identifying the indigenous peoplesand therefore the national building. Aiming to reveal this process, this paper: 1) reviews the historical context underwhich the term Austronesian Peoples appeared and was attached with special meanings; 2) analyzes how thestate, academics and indigenous elites participated in the construction of the Austronesian discourse; 3) points outthe power relations behind, and how this relations informs the representation of Austronesia. In the end, this paperfurther discusses how such representation influences the way indigenous peoples is located in Taiwan society.
Keywords: Austronesia, Taiwan Indigenous People, Discourse, Representation

Topic:
Religious foundations and practices on Rapanui (Easter Island): History and the present day
Senior Lecturer of School of Social Sciences and International Studies, University of New South Wales, Australia
BA Cal. Berkeley, BLitt Oxon., PhD ANU
Grant McCall is a social anthropologist who studies the peoples and cultures of the Pacific Islands, most especially those of Eastern Polynesia from Mangaia, in the Cooks group, to Rapanui (Easter Island).
Research Areas
Current research examines globalisation, memory and colonialism as is to be a book called Matamu‘a, the word the Rapanui use to mean history. The theoretical innovation in Matamu‘a is to link the global with the local using time structuration as the core device.
Future plans include the making of short ethnographic films for research and teaching as lived experience and an enquiry into the Pacific Islands as an “Oceanic Empire”.
For some time, Grant convened an innovative fieldwork course where students lived the daily lives of Pacific Island villages in Fiji, the Solomons, Samoa, Tonga, and New Caledonia.
As well as the focus on the region, he is interested in the particular features that mark island societies, proposing the concept of “Nissology”, the study of islands on their own terms, as a way of focussing such research.
Of late, he has started to make short ethnographic films, beginning with Australian topics and most recently “Churches of ‘Eua”, film in Tonga in 2007 and available for viewing at the Royal Anthropological Institute’s 11th International Festival of Ethnographic film in 2009.
Grant has been foundation convener and, now, Vice-President of the Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies (AAAPS) as well as being President of the International Small Island Studies Association (ISISA). Complimenting his research, he also is on editorial and advisory boards of journals and Non-Government Organisations as well as a frequent contributor to professional publications.
In recognition of his contributions to the communities with he has been working, Grant was awarded Honorary Citizenship on Jeju Island, Korea, and honourary membership of Te Mau Hatu, the Rapanui Elders Council.
From 1987 to 2003, Grant was foundation Director of the Centre for South Pacific Studies at UNSW and, from 2004 to 2008, Director of the South Pacific Resource Centre. Both these institutions sponsored conferences, produced a Newsletter and monograph series, as well as working with government and non-government organisations, Australian as well as overseas, for the promotion of knowledge and well-being of the peoples of the Pacific islands.
In addition to a long (since 1976) association with UNSW, Grant has taught at the universities of Copenhagen and the South Pacific as well as having visiting fellowship at the University College, London, and the universities of Chile, Cambridge, Hawai‘i, Provence, Jeju and Valparaíso. Grant has been an invited keynote speaker at conferences in China, Fiji, New Caledonia, France, Japan and Spain.

Topic:
Religious foundations and practices on Rapanui (Easter Island): History and the present day
Abstract:
Rapanui is the world's most remote inhabited place, the furthest east of the great Austronesian migrations originating in Taiwan centuries ago. The Rapanui arrived with an Eastern Polynesian religious practice, adapted it to their remote environment and in the latter pre-contact days, transformed their worship to symbols of climate change, the arrival of migratory birds in the Austral spring when the word (Orongo) went out to the island that another cycle of life had started. Missionary Catholicism arrived in 1864 and forms still the core of syncretic beliefs, with numerous other Protestant sects of recent arrival. This syncretism is demonstrated by the myth of why Rapanui changed from being the world's most isolated place prior to 1966 to its position now as a focus of some 50,000 tourists every year. "Myth" is used here in the Malinowskian sense of a "charter for belief". Rather than see the development of Pacific societies with a static map on their oceanic continent, this paper argues that we must look realistically what the late Epeli Hau'ofa called the "sea of islands" and their ever evolving cultures.

The 2011 3rd Sustainable Life Awards winners
The five winners of the 2011 3rd Life Sustainability Awards have now been announced. The Life Sustainability Awards aim to encourage and congratulate those who take action to protect and develop cultural diversity, spiritual empowerment and environmental sustainability. By reporting the stories and contributions of those awarded the Sustainable Life Awards, we hope to encourage more people from Taiwan and the wider Pacific region to come together with innovative solutions to global challenges.
The First Life Sustainability Awards in 2008 produced 11 award winners. Then, in 2009 The Second Life Sustainability Awards produced 9 award winners. The award winners are chosen after carefully considering a host of worthy candidates with contributions to ‘Sustainable life’ and finally choosing a fair cross section with the winners espousing different qualities. In 2011 for the Third Life Sustainability Awards we narrowed down the criterion, choosing the winners based on two main requirements:
- those who have contributed to the protection and development of Taiwanese aboriginal/Austronesian culture with continuous actions and an innovative spirit.
and
- those who have valiantly mobilised community resources to respond to challenges of sustainability.
Each of the award winners was rewarded with a beautiful stone sculpture made by Wang Xiu-chi, who generously donated all the sculpture trophies for the First Life Sustainability Awards in 2007. To view more of his fabulous works, please click here.
The Award winners
Writer of a uniquely Dawu form of Ocean literature, Syaman Rapongan brings his readers to the ocean shores with him. He lives the life he writes; fishing, shipbuilding and embracing the traditions of his elders - Tao folklore will live on in his work for future generations. His contributions to the Dawu people and other aboriginal groups go beyond the literary sphere; he was also a pioneer in aborigine-related social movements in the 1980’s.
Sakuliu Pavavalung, an earthenware sculptor of the Paiwan minority, devotes himself to the renovation and documentation of the lost craft of earthenware pot making. He has long pushed his concept of a ‘community classroom’ teaching the kids about their cultural history and wisdom and spearheading the community rebuilding of his community following the devastation of Typhoon Morakot.
Dadelavan Ibau is lightning rod of inspiration for marginalised communities. A professional dancer, she also voluntarily teaches drums to prisoners and kids in remote schools. In these encounters and interactions she drums in hope and drumming out their hidden potential.
Documentary filmmaker and scholar Futuru Tsai, was adopted into the Atolan Communty where he has documented local popular culture such as ‘Amis Hip hop’. Later films and research follow Austronesian migration paths in the Pacific and explores the lost history of Taiwan’s aborigines. In his work he both learns from and enriches indigenous culture.
Bethany Peng has long spent her own free time visiting disadvantaged schools as a storyteller. The time with these children in eastern Taiwan alerted her to their needs and led her to establish the Wood Pecker Life Association, which trains the young people how to better spend there free time to study and provide service to the community.
The winners were presented with their awards at the conference Mapping and Unmapping the Pacific: An Island Perception of an Oceanic Continent on February 16-17th. This conference was held by the Council of Indigenous Peoples of Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, Renlai Monthly & eRenlai, Taiwan Society for Pacific Studies, National Central Library and other institutes.
Information
Overview
The conference will be divided into six themes spanning over two days.
1. Spiritual Waves –Forms of Pacific Narratives
2. Historical Resonances – War, Colonial Experiences and Peace-Making
3. Images as Waves - Watching, Thinking, Acting
4. Resonating and Rewriting – Researching Indigenous History Today
5. Young Scholars & World Austronesian Researchers’ Forum
6. Concluding Session - Pacific Studies as Resonance and Crossing of the Boundaries
Besides, the “special Homage” session will be a kind of “conference within a conference” as it will celebrate the Centenary of the birth of Fr Yves Raguin, s.j. (1912-1998). Fr Raguin was the author of a number of influential spiritual books. He was also a beloved spiritual master whose influence spreads over Asia and Oceania and other continents as well. His thought and spirituality were marked by the spaces he traveled through and the people, he met with, of all races, religions and cultures. In several respects, he was truly an “Oceanic man.” Remembering his life and the spiritual style he cultivated will help us to sketch the Asia-Pacific history of spiritual encounters during the last fifty to sixty years and to better formulate the spiritual challenges that are emerging today.
Along with the conference, there will be the fourth “Life Sustainability Awards”. The recipients of the prizes, selected from candidates from the Oceanic continent, will reflect the creativity and spiritual variety that the conference intends to assess and celebrate.
This conference is organized by the Taiwan Society for Pacific Studies and sponsored by Council of Indigenous Peoples, Taiwan(ROC).
Introduction
The Pacific Ocean is not only a physical space but a mystical one too: its immensity and the experience of its crossing have inspired in-depth spiritual experiences expressed through stories, myths, music and epics; its borders and islands have witnessed the advent and the decline of all the world’s mystical traditions breaking along its shore wave after wave; it is ultimately one of the privileged spaces where humankind has refined their experience, chanting it in resonance with the Divine.
The commonality of such spiritual experiences is sometimes summarized in the term “Oceanic Feeling”, though such wording remains open to challenges and controversies. Linguistic and musical expression, mystical experience, literary and artistic metaphors, and cross-cultural interaction all form part of the integrity of the region. This conference aims to assess and describe the spiritual and historical resources of Oceania and of Austronesian peoples as well as the creative ways through which they are expressed.

Documentary Information
Writings that Weave Waves: East Formosans and the Pacific World
East Formosa has been the departure point of the great migration that, six thousand years ago, shaped the present Austronesian world. And it is now home to the majority of Taiwan’s aboriginal population, some of them living in the plains and on the shore of Eastern Taiwan, and some in the mountains. The geography of Taiwan explains in part the diversity of its traditions and of its relationship with the Pacific world: In the central regions of Taiwan, the Mountain Range stretches from North to South with more than one hundred peaks rising over three thousand meters. Further east, the smaller Coastal Mountain Range divides the remaining land into two parts, one located between the two mountain ranges, and the other directly facing the Pacific Ocean.
This documentary shows how aborigines in Taiwan, especially the younger generation, express and live their identity, while linking their narrative to the world of Oceania, which their ancestors contributed to develop, and where aboriginal people nowadays struggle to express their cultural, social, political and spiritual self-perception. In short, it is about the flow and exchange of experiences and stories (the ever-changing narrative weaved by the waves of the Ocean) that enrich and mix into one our local and global identities. The Oceanic continent both separates and gathers together the people who inhabit it.
For the Pacific Ocean is not only a physical entity but a “storied” space as well: its immensity and the experience of crossing it have inspired in-depth stories, myths, poems, music and epics; its borders and islands have witnessed the rise and fall of cultural and spiritual traditions breaking along its shore, wave after wave.
Yubax, a young Atayal Aborigine discovers the Solomon Islands.
Taiwan is a point of departure, a meeting point, and a destination for the stories weaved by the waves. This documentary aims at nurturing in Taiwan’s youth, especially in its indigenous youth, a sense of belonging within the Pacific world, while encouraging their creativity, their appreciation of the variety of the cultural resources offered by other Austronesian people, and its perception of the “resonance” that related stories, music and art forms inspire throughout this oceanic interchange.
Thus the filming of this documentary really started in Vancouver Island, Canada where some of our protagonists met with First Nations during a cultural exchange where both groups performed their traditional dances and songs. Then we get a glimpse of the way aboriginal traditions are preserved and transmitted in villages on the eastern coast of Taiwan and we travel through the Melanesian and Polynesian world with scenes and stories filmed during the 11th Festival of Pacific Arts, held in Honiara, Solomon Islands, this year.

Cerise PHIV
I have been the managing editor of eRenlai.com since 2007, the online version of the Renlai Monthly magazine published by the Taipei Ricci Institute (TRI) in Taiwan. Being born and raised in France to Taiwanese and Cambodian parents, I have now been living in Taipei for 7 years. Because of my personal background and history, I have always nurtured a special interest for questions of identity and belonging. I graduated from La Sorbonne in French modern literature, I am more orientated toward the arts as a person, rather than towards the more technical side of things and I dabbled in different visual arts such as painting and photography during my years in high school and university. In 2009, I had the chance to participate in the making of the first movie produced by the TRI, On the Fifth Day, the Sea Tide Rose, a documentary filmed in Tafalong, an Amis village on the East coast of Taiwan. This year, it's my pleasure to present my directorial debut, under the guidance of Benoit Vermander (TRI academic director): Writings that Weave Waves, a film which was born of my experience documenting a cultural exchange program between young aboriginal students from Taiwan and the First Nations community in Canada in September 2011 for eRenlai.
