Om denne bog

Centring priest and navigator Tupaia and Pacific worldviews, this richly illustrated volume weaves a new set of cultural histories in the Pacific, between local islanders and the crew of the Endeavour on James Cook’s first ‘voyage of discovery’ (1768-1771). Contributors consider material collections brought back from the voyage, paying particular attention to Tupaia''s drawings, maps, cloth and clothes, and the attending narratives that framed Britain’s engagement with Pacific peoples.

Bringing together indigenous and Pacific-based artists, scholars, historians, theorists and tailors, this book presents a cross-cultural conversation around the concepts of acquired and curated artefacts that traversed oceans and entwined cultures. Each chapter draws attention to a particular material, object or process to reveal fresh insights on the voyage, the societies it brought together and the histories it transformed. Authors also explore animal iconography, instruments and ethnomusicology, and performances and rituals.

This work challenges colonial museum collections and celebrations of Cook’s voyages, using materials old and new to make connections between past and present, whilst reinforcing Tupaia’s agency as both a historical figure and a contemporary muse. Tracing overlapping folds of symbolism, this book draws together a picture of the diverse materials and people at the centre of cultural exchange.
