• W1575409070 abstract "Return to Culture: Oral Tradition and Society in Southern Cook Islands. By Anna-Leena Siikala and Jukka Siikala. FF Communications Vol. 136, No. 287. Helsinki: Academia Scientiarum Fennica, 2005. 327pp. What significance of oral tradition in Pacific Islands culture? How integrated oral tradition into life in Cook Islands? To what extent does a theoretical understanding of oral tradition practices enable an analytic understanding of social action, political structure, narrative practices, and cultural milieu of southern Cook Islanders? In this book collaborative approach between a folklorist (Anna-Leena Siikala) and an anthropologist (Jukka Siikala) situates these questions in an empirical analysis of processes of identity formation of people of Ma'uke and Atiu through customary discursive practices. Not satisfied to regard past as past, but implicitly recognizing that a non-omnibus discipline suffering an epistemologi cal crisis, Siikalas adopt something equivalent to a European philological approach combining it with a multilo cai, multi vocal anthropological methodology. Both authors recognize that process of cultural representation now inescapably contingent, historical, and contestable and that social actors are in constantly changing social situations. Building on Siikalas' deep-rooted field experience in Cook Islands, their extensive archival research at National Archives in Rarotonga and in Australia, and their knowledge of academic debates in New Zealand and Hawai 'i, this book compendium of a number of articles and papers earlier published by authors since 1990s (13). At first glance, soft cover and title page lead one to believe that this a communication edited for folklore fellows. Similarly, somehow misleading photo on dust jacket taken by author (Jukka Siikala), whose caption reads: Local produce for sale in Rarotonga. Nevertheless, this compendium translates into a properly structured scholarly work, whose objective forthrightly stated by authors in introduction: [We] both aim at analyzing underlying cultural patterns that generate oral traditions and inform dynamics of society (19). This interdisciplinary effort allows AnnaLeena Siikala to attend nature of oral traditions and related problems of performance and interpretation, while Jukka Siikala analyzes issues of Cook Islands' social organization and their dynamics. Believing that binary and ubiquitous opposition of We and the Other shows internal inconsistency, Jukka Siikala argues that ethnographic discussion presented in book attempts to highlight two-sidedness of project of defining culture and how images of self are produced on basis of a multiplicity of imageries derived through encounters with others (23). His argument proceeds to note that dialogic process of folklore documentation was not based on distantiation and exoticism (25), as he could evince from islanders' early interest in an epistemologi cal understanding of their own genealogical traditions and practices. Echoing Franz Boas's methodology and examples conserved in Finnish folklore archives, genealogical materials collected are presented as avulse of any ethnographic distortions. The result, Jukka Siikala explains, is not a textualisation of a single speech event, but 'are vananga, 'the house of talk,' which contains summa totius cosmologiae of culture, in other words, literature, whatever physical form it takes (36). Anna-Leena Siikala's engaging writing reformulates Jukka Siikala's introductory argument that in one sense all culture tradition and all cultural activities are creative and inventive (18), specifying that this creating or inventing tradition concerns both outsiders' intellectual and political work and insiders' efforts toward a renewal of traditional elements of their own culture and identity (41). …" @default.
