Abstract

Les sciences humaines et sociales dans le Pacifique Sud : Terrains, questions et méthodes est une introduction générale à l'étude des sociétés océaniennes et un état des lieux des recherches les plus avancées dans plusieurs disciplines, anthropologie, archéologie, linguistique, sciences de l'éducation, études des performances et sciences de l'environnement, où les recherches françaises sont très engagées. Les 19 contributions réparties en 5 thèmes – « déplacement des frontières », « décolonisation des regards », « gérer la biodiversité » et « souveraineté et citoyenneté» – offrent des synthèses originales sur des champs et des débats qui se sont renouvelés ou ont émergé durant les 20 dernières années : l'histoire de l'occupation du Paci­fique, les techniques de la navigation, les problématiques de la biodiversité, les enjeux de citoyenneté et de la globalisation, les questions de genre, l'enseignement bilingue, les échanges, l'art, la culture matérielle, les festivals et les nouvelles approches du patrimoine tangible et intangible.

Abstract

In Vanuatu, commoditization and revitalization of culture and the arts do not necessarily work against each other; both revolve around value formation and the authentication of things. This book investigates the meaning and value of (art) objects as commodities in differing states of transit and transition: in the local place, on the market, in the museum. It provides an ethnographic account of commoditization in a context of revitalization of culture and the arts in Vanuatu, and the issues this generates, such as authentication of actions and things, indigenized copyright, and kastom disputes over ownership and the nature of kastom itself.

Abstract

The culmination of years of specialist research, this once-in-a-generation publication gathers together an international team of over one hundred leading experts across a diverse range of disciplines to examine what the traditions of vernacular architecture and its regional craftspeople around the world can teach us about creating a more sustainable future. Organized by the five major climate zones, covering polar, temperate, tropical, desert and continental, and more than 80 countries worldwide, it reveals how people and cultures have adapted to their environment to make the best use of indigenous materials and construction techniques, and stresses the importance of preserving disappearing craftsmanship and local knowledge before it is too late. Including contextual essays on issues ranging from climatology, to anthropology and economics; detailed reference section; specially commissioned maps and infographics; and a wealth of illustrations, this landmark publication is a celebration of humankind's resilience and ingenuity in a rapidly changing world, and an invaluable resource document for the future generation who will shape our built environment.
