Der Angelhaken leitet seine Form von seiner praktischen Absicht ab - einen Fisch zu fangen. Aber in Kulturen, in denen das Fischen eine Haupterwerbsquelle ist und schon immer war, wird die Herstellung von Angelhaken zu einer Kunst. "Angelhaken der pazifischen Inseln Vol. II" schließt den umfangreichen und tiefgehenden Diskurs des ersten Bandes ab. Zusammen sind sie das erste umfassende Nachschlagewerk über pazifische Angelhaken seit der Veröffentlichung von Harry Beasleys "Pacific Island Record: Fishhooks" von 1928, der in einer Auflage von nur 250 Exemplaren gedruckt wurde.Seitdem ist viel gelernt und entdeckt worden, und "Fish Hooks of the Pacific Islands" versammelt alles unter einem Titel mit umfassenden neuen Beobachtungen, Recherchen, Zuschreibungen, Identifizierungen und Farbfotografien. Diese Publikation ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit privater Sammler, die sich gemeinsam der Kunst und dem Wissen der alten pazifischen Kulturen verschrieben haben. Bei der Erstellung dieses Buches haben sie eine unglaubliche Menge an Informationen sowie Bilder und Details der besten bekannten Exemplare aus Sammlungen auf der ganzen Welt zusammengetragen.

Poems about the Freedom That Arises When We Finally Let Go

The Politics of Privacy in Contemporary Native, Latinx, and Asian American Metafictions is the first book-length study to approach contemporary issues of racialized visibility and privacy through narrative form. Using a formal maneuver, narrative privacy, Colleen G. Eils analyzes how writers of contemporary metafictions explicitly withhold stories from readers to illuminate and theorize the politics of privacy in a post-9/11 US context. As a formal device and reading strategy, narrative privacy has two primary critical interests: affirming the historically political nature of visibility, particularly for people of color and indigenous people, and theorizing privacy as a political assertion of power over representation and material vulnerability. Eils breaks strict disciplinary silos by putting visibility/surveillance studies, ethnic studies, and narrative studies in conversation with one another. Eils also puts texts in the Native, Latinx, and Asian American literary canon in conversation with each other. She focuses on texts by Viet Thanh Nguyen, David Treuer, Monique Truong, Rigoberto González, Nam Le, and Stephen Graham Jones that call into question our positions as readers and critics. In deliberately and self-consciously evading readers through the form of their fiction, these writers seize privacy as a political tool for claiming and wielding power in both representational and material registers.
