Abstract:
Disney is known for their family animation movies with a non-western or indigenous cultural background. Nevertheless, Disney is basically very influential for the perception of cultures by a global audience. Many studies have proven that Disney’s depiction of a certain represented culture has not always been that clean. Of course two side notes are that Disney does make movies from an American dominant perspective and second, there is no such thing as a ‘real’ or ‘correct’ culture.   Now, with the movie Moana freshly released in 2016, Disney took a step in the indigenous Polynesian culture.

Abstract:
Images of Oceania and Polynesia have traditionally been exoticised and romanticised by Western representations of a "paradise" populated by primitive natives with grass skirts and ukuleles. However, the movement towards political independence in the 1960s and 1970s has seen the emergence of a corpus of indigenous representations that depict and portray the real situation. These indigenous representations speak of subjugation and moreover testify to the debilitating effects colonialism has on cultural identities.

Abstract:
Among the various adverse effects of climate change, sea-level rise is expected to increase the severity and frequency of flooding events impacting the vulnerable, low-lying islands of French Polynesia. It has long been understood that sea-level changes are not spatially uniform, yet this aspect is not taken into account in the decision-making. Notably, no projections of future sea level have been produced specifically for this region so far, partly because the processes driving sea-level changes remain poorly constrained. To approach the issue, we present a detailed reconstruction of sea-leve

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to explore French travel literature on Polynesia as a form of translation. It analyses how travel writers interpret and textualize their experiences of the foreign culture in order to create a version of Polyneslan otherness. Following on from Lawrence Venuti's theory of foreignization and domestication, it is assumed that all translations necessarily manipulate the source culture into forms that are determined by the receiving culture, and that fidelity to an original is, therefore, impossible. Ethical potential is considered to lie in a translation that goes against the nor

Major excursions in the position of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and/or changes in its intensity are thought to drive tropical cyclone (TC) and precipitation variability across much of the central South Pacific.

In a Polynesian feast, food is a metaphor for the essence of Polynesian culture—giving without self regard. As Polynesian culture evolves, its aesthetic standard must necessarily change. Two seemingly conflicting essentials are necessary here for the survival of culture—the evolution of the cultural aesthetic, and the constancy of the culture's essence. One might consider as a metaphor the evolution of a tree through the seasons—though the foliage blooms, changes colors, dies and grows brittle, falls and regenerates, etc., the roots remain constant—ever nourishing the tree and ever supporting

By deconstructing a review on how the Pacific was settled based on aDNA, I analyze a geneticist’s perspective on archaeological problems.

Abstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat en Histoire de l’Art, spécialité art contemporain, tend à repositionner l’Histoire de l’Art contemporain insulaire de la Polynésie Française et d’Aotearoa – Nouvelle Zélande au sein de son histoire locale tout autant qu’au niveau international. Par le biais d’une approche combinant Histoire de l’Art et Anthropologie, sont abordés les mondes de l’art respectifs à ces deux territoires afin de mettre en évidence les spécificités historiques et artistiques de localités trop souvent couplées du fait d’un passé commun. Faite de particularismes issus de la contraction des cult

Abstract:
The specific research objectives of this study are: to look at environmental changes that have occurred on several Pacific island systems from the pre- to post-settlement periods; to see whether the observed changes are natural or anthropogenic; to test the latest Polynesian settlement theory; and to contribute to the understanding of the vegetation history on these islands. This study reports the results of stratigraphic investigations from four Polynesian sediment sequences. The sediments of Lakes Lanoto'o (Upolu), Roto (Atiu), Temae (Mo'orea) and Vaihiria (Tahiti) have revealed a history of

Abstract:
L'estimation de stocks naturels de nacres pinctada margaritifera a ete realisee sur 7 lagons des tuamotu-gambier (polynesie francaise), a l'aide d'un protocole d'echantillonnage specifique, faisant intervenir donnees satellite, radiales d'echosondage et plongees de comptage. L'estimation totale du stock en effectif, assortie d'un intervalle de confiance, a ete obtenue sur 6 lagons. L'etude par tranche bathymetrique de 10 metres montre l'existence d'un stock profond (30-50m) representant plus de 50% du stock dans les lagons les plus riches. Les densites de peuplement varient d'un facteur 10 a 1
