Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Club Types of Nuclear Polynesia The South Sea ethnica in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania are so numerous in the sum of the pieces as to establish this as one of the great collections of the world. Of even greater moment is the fact, immediately and distinctly recognized in the recent recension of the material, that such careful judgment has been exercised in the acquisition of most of these specimens as to establish the collection in the foremost position for the critical study of a great many types of objects. Very few indeed are the culture sources which are not represented; still fewer are the types of objects pertaining to the by no means simple culture of the islands of the Pacific which are not abundantly exemplified. In a large number of such types the suite of specimens is sufficiently rich to afford a most remarkable opportunity for the study of the evolution of the object from a primitive form to one more highly conventionalized, and in the ornamentation to enable the student to discover the reason of much that has passed from the serving of an end of strict utility to a system of ornament which without this richness of material would remain quite incomprehensible. In the latter particular it is to note that almost all this ornament is mere convention to the people who employ it and that their explanation is wholly fanciful. In the course of the recension of the collection and the ordering of the various types by theme one group peculiarly came to the front as offering practically a complete suite sufficient for the evolutionary study of dissonant cultures at a point of contamination through intercourse of at least two distinct ethnic groups. The present paper is addressed to the statement of the several problems which arise in the examination of the wooden clubs of Nuclear Polynesia. It becomes necessary, therefore, to present as basic a catalogue raisonne of all the ethnica of this particular subdivision in the museum. Upon this record, regarded as the base of all study, depend certain conclusions which are essentially matters of opinion and interpretation, and as such open to discussion. Nuclear Polynesia is the designation of a subdivision of the Polynesian Pacific which upon linguistic and traditional grounds I found it necessary to erect. In "The Polynesian Wanderings" at page 179 I announced this subdivision as follows: I. Nuclear Polynesia (Samoa the nucleus, and Niue, Tonga, Viti describing the perimeter) was under settlement by Polynesians from a date so remote that they had lost all direct memory of an anterior movement thither.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific Ocean covers one-third of the earth's surface. Comprising thousands of islands and hundreds of cultural groups, Polynesia and Micronesia cover a large part of this vast ocean, from the dramatic mountains of Hawaii to the small, flat coral islands of Kiribati. Including both traditional and contemporary arts, this book introduces the rich artistic traditions of these two regions, traditions that have had a considerable impact on western art in the twentieth century through the influence of artists such as Gauguin. Instead of looking at Polynesia and Micronesia separately, the book focuses on the artistic types, styles, and concepts that they share, placing each in its wider cultural context. From the textiles of Tonga to the canoes of Tahiti, Adrienne Kaeppler looks at religious and sacred rituals and objects, carving, architecture, tattooing, personal ornaments, basket-making, clothing, textiles, fashion, the oral arts, dance, music and musical instruments - even canoe-construction - to provide the ultimate introduction to the rich and vibrant artistic cultures of the Polynesian and Micronesian islands.
