History in Polynesia; Changing perspectives and current issues

Year: 1993

Type: article

Abstract: In Polynesia, as elsewhere, historical approaches in anthropology have come into vogue again after a hiatus during which functional, structural and cognitive studies predominated.1 The new historiographies have brought with them new problems and dilemmas, which I will try to identify. In particular, I would like to draw attention to issues of discourse, that is, the language including underlying assumptions in which historical approaches have been embedded.
