Faiva Fakaouli: The Tongan Performance Art Of Humor, 'Okusitino Māhina
Pacific Studies
This essay will critically examine faiva fakaoli, literally translated as "the art of funny things, in a number of separate but connected unique and universal contexts. I wish to make clear right from the outset that this essay is not an exercise in theoretically and practically reviewing the existing literature on humor, nor an attempt to make a comprehensive examination of what humor is, i.e., its form and content, nor, for that matter, what humor does, i.e., its social function.' While the theoretical and practical, ontological; and epistemological, or qualitative and utilitarian questions are extremely important, my …

Mangaia In The Colonial World, 1863-1899, Michael Reilly
Pacific Studies
This paper analyzes letters written between 1863 and l899 from the island of Mangaia in the Cook Islands. Collectively, they provide insights into how the people of Mangaia managed their relationships with the outside world, especially with British authorities in the Pacific. These letters are discussed in conjunction with other documents from the colonial archives in order to achieve a more balanced understanding of the way Mangaians acted upon the cultural values inherited from their ancestors in the context of an increasing assertion of foreign control over their island. These vernacular letters articulate a long-hidden subaltern history of Mangaia.

Grandparenting Styles In An Urban/Rural Borderland In New Zealand, Sally Keeling
Grandparenting Styles In An Urban/Rural Borderland In New Zealand, Sally Keeling
Pacific Studies
This paper on grandparenting styles draws on ethnographic interviews with old-old (80 and older) Anglo-Europeans living in a small-town community in New Zealand. The interviews were collected as part of the social content of a lon tudinal study of the epidemiology of a ng in an urban/rural borderland setting. Analyses indicate that grandparent status and role are both central to and contingent upon how old-old people negotiate and sustain independence and autonomy in the context of family and friendship networks. Diversity is examined using a typology developed from research on American Indian grandparents in an urban/rural situation as a framework, …
Changing Contexts For Grandparent Adoption On Raivavae, French Polynesia, Jeanette L. Dickerson-Putnam
Changing Contexts For Grandparent Adoption On Raivavae, French Polynesia, Jeanette L. Dickerson-Putnam
Pacific Studies
This paper examines change in grandparent adoption and care of grandchildren on the Austral island of Raivavae in French Polynesia. The focus is on how Raivavaens have utilized the flexible, negotiable, and contingent institution of grandparent adoption as a strategy for coping with changing global/local linkages, out-migration for employment, and introduction of nonindigenous institutions and processes. The inherent flexibility of the adoptive relationship is apparently enabling Raivavaens to mold it in ways that serve a new set of needs and circumstances, most of which reside with the grandchild's parents rather than the grandparents. Grandparents appear to have extended and otherwise …
Introduction: The Practice And Prospects Of Grandparenting In The Pacific, Dorothy Ayers Counts
Introduction: The Practice And Prospects Of Grandparenting In The Pacific, Dorothy Ayers Counts
Pacific Studies
The contributors to this special issue represent the orientations and approaches of several social science disciplines and are variously involved in interdisci plina1y endeavors. However, anthropology is the primary discipline and ethno graphy a shared methodology. It is a main task of any ethnography to make the exotic familiar and to treat the familiar as though it were exotic. The papers in this special issue achieve this for grandparenthood in the Pacific. The familiar concept of grandparenthood is shown to have multiple meanings in close examinations of how the status is achieved, for example, what it means for a person's …
Grandparenting Among The Chamorros Of Guam, Vicki Torsch
Grandparenting Among The Chamorros Of Guam, Vicki Torsch
Pacific Studies
For the Chamorros of Guam, contemporary grandparenting reflects the cultural tension between the forces struggling for continuity with cherished traditions and values centered on caring and sharing, and those requiring adaptation, cultural change, and expanding lifestyle choices. Descriptions and analyses draw on data collected in 60 life-history inte1views and participant observation research. The paper focuses on an emerging duality in grandparenting styles and contrasts the gendered perspectives on grandparenting roles and attitudes. The diversity of styles is embedded in personalities, gender, educational level, and lifestyle choices, and reflects different responses to dramatic change in sociocultural and economic conditions.
Grandmothering And Social Old Age: Aotearoa New Zealand Variations On A Universal Theme, M. Jocelyn Armstrong
Grandmothering And Social Old Age: Aotearoa New Zealand Variations On A Universal Theme, M. Jocelyn Armstrong
Pacific Studies
This paper explores change in definition and relevance of the grandparenting role in a population of young-old (ages sixty-five to eighty) women in urban New Zealand, and compares the experience of European and Maori women. I focus on how becoming and being a grandparent is configured into perceptions of social old age and seniority. New Zealand women of both ethnic groups recognize becoming a grandmother as still commonly considered a key marker of social old age by society at large. Differences are evident in ideas about how the role contributes to today's self-definitions. In women's own definitions, being a grandmother …
Continuities And Changes In Marshallese Grandparenting, Laurence Marshall Carucci
Continuities And Changes In Marshallese Grandparenting, Laurence Marshall Carucci
Pacific Studies
For Marshallese, grandparents do not exist as independent types of kin. A grandparent is a partner in a reciprocal grandparent/grandchild relationship. The relationship is not grounded in either biology or unchanging social status; rather, it is constructed out of practical activities as members of a shared community. Grandparents who actively earn respect in their relationships with others are recognized collectively as senior grandparents of the community or communal grandparents. This paper examines continuities and changes in the activities and social significance of grandparents of the community across three decades and four different social settings. The paper focuses on how shifting …
In My Nana's House: Grandparent Households In Fiji, Sela Panapasa
In My Nana's House: Grandparent Households In Fiji, Sela Panapasa
Pacific Studies
This paper uses a combination of household census data and case material to examine change in grandparent status and role in Fiji in the context of develop ment and the impacts of modernization and population aging. On one hand, there is more need and pressure for grandparents to be caregivers of grand children and sources of stability and continuity within family and home. On the other, there are the increased costs associated with greater longevity among the grandparent generation, such as care of a frail and dependent grandparent. Social exchange theory is used to compare these costs and benefits across …
Continuing To Be A Mother: Grandmothering On Pollap, Juliana Flinn
Continuing To Be A Mother: Grandmothering On Pollap, Juliana Flinn
Pacific Studies
Perspectives from human evolution and life cycle development frame this paper on grandmothering in a Micronesian setting. On Pollap Atoll in the Central Caroline Islands, being a grandmother is part of a developmental process that involves aging and a changing parental role. Being an older woman is interwoven with being a grandmother in much the same way as being an adult woman is interwoven with being a mother. Much of the work of a grandmother toward grandchildren involves continuing responsibilities to one's adult child. Today's grandmothers continue to carry out these responsibilities in the context of adaptation to migration. The …
Guest Editors' Preface: Special Issue Negotiating Grandparenting: Styles And Strategies In A Changing Pacific, M. Jocelyn Armstrong, Juliana Flinn
Guest Editors' Preface: Special Issue Negotiating Grandparenting: Styles And Strategies In A Changing Pacific, M. Jocelyn Armstrong, Juliana Flinn
Pacific Studies
This preface introduces a collection of anthropological studies that explore grandparenting practices in Pacific societies, situating them within the global context of population aging and evolving family dynamics. As longevity increases worldwide, grandparenting has gained prominence across disciplines and regions. This volume highlights how cultural values, historical contexts, and contemporary changes—such as shifts in education, economy, migration, and family structure—shape the roles and meanings of grandparents in Pacific communities. Three key themes emerge: the relationship between grandparenting and elder status, the diverse styles of grandparenting influenced by identity factors like gender and ethnicity, and grandparenting as an adaptive strategy in …
Epilogue: A New Look At Grandparenting, Françoise Douaire-Marsaudon, Alan Howard
Epilogue: A New Look At Grandparenting, Françoise Douaire-Marsaudon, Alan Howard
Pacific Studies
The papers in this special issue of Pacific Studies signal a growing interest in grandparents and the roles that they play in times of profound social, cultural, and demographic change. In this Epilogue we attempt to distill from the preceding seven essays' themes that reflect the various ways in which grand parenthood is adapting to these conditions in selected Pacific Islands. The challenge, as we see it, is to establish how senior citizens, including grandparents and great-grandparents, are embedded in a set of social relationships, and then to determine which variables-lineage and household structures, economic contributions, proximity, activities participated in, …
