Abstract

This book examines how the South Pacific was represented by explorers, missionaries, travellers, writers, and artists between 1767 and 1914 by drawing on history, literature, art history, and anthropology. Edmond engages with colonial texts and postcolonial theory, criticising both for their failure to acknowledge the historical specificity of colonial discourses and cultural encounters, and for continuing to see indigenous cultures in essentially passive or reactive terms. The book offers a detailed and grounded 'reading back' of these colonial discourses into the metropolitan centres which gave rise to them, while resisting the idea that all representations of other cultures are merely self-representations. Among its themes are the persistent myth-making around the figure of Cook, the western obsession with Polynesian sexuality, tattooing, cannibalism, and leprosy, and the Pacific as a theatre for adventure and as a setting for Europe's displaced fears of its own cultural extinction.

Abstract

Oceanic Linguistics is the only journal devoted exclusively to the study of the indigenous languages of the Oceanic area and parts of Southeast Asia. The thousand-odd languages within the scope of the journal are the aboriginal languages of Australia, the Papuan languages of New Guinea, and the languages of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Articles in Oceanic Linguistics cover issues of linguistic theory that pertain to languages of the area, report research on historical relations, or furnish new information about inadequately described languages.

Abstract

In der deutschen Literatur und Publizistik des 19. Jahrhunderts nimmt die Südsee als ersehntes, erforschtes und kolonial erobertes Paradies einen großen, bisher kaum untersuchten Raum ein. Gabriele Dürbeck weist von Chamissos Reisebericht von 1821 bis zur Populär- und Zeitschriftenliteratur um 1900 ein nahezu gleichbleibendes, bereits im 18. Jahrhundert etabliertes Repertoire an exotistischen und perhorreszierenden Stereotypen des Fremden nach. Dieses dient aber unterschiedlichen ästhetischen, wissenschaftspopularisierenden und politischen Darstellungsstrategien und -funktionen. Zivilisations-, Missionierungs- und Kolonialkritik greifen auf dieselben Stereotype und Topoi des Fremden zurück wie die Werbung für einen ,Platz an der Sonne' und die Rechtfertigung nationaler, expansiver und kolonialer Bestrebungen. In neun Fallstudien werden (populär-)wissenschaftliche Reiseberichte und Zeitschriftenbeiträge, Abenteuerromane sowie Memoiren von Kaufleuten, Siedlern, Kolonialbeamten und Ethnographen untersucht. Die textanalytische und diskursgeschichtliche Studie zielt auf eine materialnahe Spezifizierung von Befunden der Interkulturalitätsforschung und wertet erstmals ein vielschichtiges und heterogenes literarisches Material aus. Auf diese Weise wird die Verschiebungen innerhalb eines konstanten, aber äußerst facettenreichen Ozeanismus-Diskurses aufgezeigt.
