Product Description

Les rencontres entre Oceaniens et Occidentaux, depuis les explorations espagnoles du XVIe siecle jusqu’aux periodes coloniales au XIXe siecle, furent marquees par des formes de violence di-verses, tantot visibles, brutales et immediates, tantot durables et plus insidieuses, qui toutes affecterent les societes insulaires de maniere irreversible.
Rassemblant des textes dont certains furent presentes lors du congres du Pacific Island Universities Research Network (PIURN), a Tahiti en 2018, le present ouvrage se propose d’interroger cette violence ainsi que les effets qu’elle engendra au travers de plusieurs cas d’etude, certains emblematiques, d’autres plus meconnus. De Tahiti a Samoa, de Rapa Nui a l’ile des Pins, en passant par les Marquises, ces rencontres sont analysees dans une perspective de longue duree, celle d’une anthropologie historique si feconde pour les etudes oceanistes. Pour cela, l’ouvrage reunit neuf auteurs — archeologues, anthropologues et historiens — qui analysent ici des processus a l’intersection entre structure et conjoncture. Trocs, tirs de mousquets, introductions de germes infectieux, repression judiciaire et imperialisme colonial, au-tant de themes abordes au fi l de ces 10 chapitres offrant un regard nouveau sur les dynamiques a l’œuvre dans ces confrontations qui ouvraient des lors une nouvelle histoire partagee.
***
Encounters between Indigenous peoples of Oceania and outsiders from the Western world, beginning with the Spanish explorations in the XVIth century until the period of colonisation in the XIXth century, were marked by various forms of violence, either visible, brutal and immediate or long-lasting and all the more insidious. They all had irreversible consequences on Pacific Island societies.
The present volume, which includes some contributions first presented at the Conference of the Pacific Islands Universities Research Network (PIURN) in Tahiti in 2018, examines these different forms of violence as well as the effects that they produced, through a number of case studies, some of which are iconic, others little known. From Tahiti to Samoa, from Rapa Nui to the Isle of Pines via the Marquesas, these encounters are seen through the lens of la longue duree, the cornerstone of a historical anthropology that has proved to be so productive in Pacific Studies. The work brings together nine archaeologists, anthropologists and historians who analyse processes at the intersection of structures and events: bartering, the firing of muskets, the introduction of infectious diseases, judicially sanctioned control mechanisms and colonial imperialism. These ten chapters shed new light on the complex dynamics at work in these confrontations that brought Islanders and outsiders into a shared new history.
