He self-identifies as a tufungaʻi practitioner and draws on Tongan epistemologies as his pathway to understanding things passed down by traditional knowledge keepers. Indeed, his efficacy as an indigenous practitioner is worldly in a contemporary sense within knowing in a traditional sense. | Fall 26(2) Articles Global Sport in the Pacific: A Brief Overview Fa‘anofo Lisaclaire (Lisa) Uperesa and Tom Mountjoy Fabled Futures: Migration and Mobility for Samoans in American Football Fa‘anofo Lisaclaire (Lisa) Uperesa “No longer just a pastime”: Sport for Development in Times of Change Christina Ting Kwauk Playing with Knowledge: Sport and the Paradox of Development in Solomon Islands Tom Mountjoy Pasifika Diaspora and the Changing Face of Australian Rugby League David Lakisa, Daryl Adair, and Tracy Taylor Participating in the Global Competition: Denaturalizing “Flair” in Samoan Rugby Julien Clément Beyond the All Blacks Representations: The Dialectic Between the Indigenization of Rugby and Postcolonial Strategies to Control Māori Domenica Gisella Calabrò “Such a Site for Play, This Edge”: Surfing, Tourism and Modernist Fantasy in Papua New Guinea Paige West Sports, Bodies, and Futures: An Epilogue Niko Besnier Resources Rules of the Game: Resources for Researching Pacific Islands Sport D Keali‘i MacKenzie Political Reviews The Region in Review: International Issues and Events, 2013 Nic Maclellan Melanesia in Review: Issues and Events, 2013 David Chappell, Jon Fraenkel, Gordon Leua Nanau, Howard Van Trease, Muridan S Widjojo Book and Media Reviews Don’t Ever Whisper: Darlene Keju, Pacific Health Pioneer for Nuclear Survivors, by Giff Johnson Reviewed by Holly Barker Securing Paradise: Tourism and Militarism in Hawaiʻi and the Philippines, by Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez Reviewed by Maile Arvin L’ONU, la France et les décolonisations tardives: L’exemple des terres françaises d’Océanie, by Jean-Marc Regnault Reviewed by Nic Maclellan Tax Havens and Sovereignty in the Pacific Islands, by Anthony Van Fossen Reviewed by Siobhan McDonnell Summoning the Powers Beyond: Traditional Religions in Micronesia, by Jay Dobbin with Francis X Hezel Reviewed by David Hanlon Making Sense of Micronesia: The Logic of Pacific Island Culture, by Francis X Hezel Reviewed by Joe Genz Polynesian Outliers: The State of the Art, edited by Richard Feinberg and Richard Scaglion Reviewed by Mark Calamia The Haus Tambaran of Bongiora: A View from Within of the Tambaran and Yam Cults of the Abelam in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea, by Godfried Johan Marie Gerrits Reviewed by Paul Roscoe Christian Politics in Oceania, edited by Matt Tomlinson and Debra McDougall Reviewed by Anna-Karina Hermkins Mr. Pip [feature film] Reviewed by Nancy Pollock Breadfruit and Open Spaces [documentary film] Reviewed by Sheryl Day Savage Memory [documentary film] Reviewed by David Lipset Moana: The Rising of the Sea Reviewed by Kara Miller Featured Artist: Greg Semu Self-portrait with Side of Peʻa, Sentinel Road, Herne Bay (2012), by Greg Semu Independent indigenous researcher, curator, and artist Greg Semu was in born Aotearoa/New Zealand in 1971. He embraces Sāmoa as his ancestral and spiritual home, and his artistic practice often begins in the Vā (the space between) and draws from the vast Ocean that unites rather than divides. Semu’s artworks start with research and community engagement. Semu uses the visual language of photography, sound, and film to explore the significance of identity and create evocative dialogues to challenge the romanticized colonialist documentation of “first contact.” In 2007, as the first artist in residence at Musée du quai Branly in Paris, he created the Noble Savage series. These photographic paintings reenact moments that are both historically and art historically significant. Using mediums synonymous with truth and reality, Semu’s photographs seduce the viewer to challenge preconceived notions of history and culture. |
