Abstract

Abstract:The story of Kahalaopuna is a Hawaiian moʻolelo, a word that can mean story, tale, and history, with all of these definitions functioning simultaneously. These many levels of meaning are employed through a device called kaona, a Hawaiian oral and literary feature that allows any moʻolelo to speak to diverse audiences, conveying different meanings and varying depths to each. Although this story, "Kahalaopuna," was first published in English rather than Hawaiian (18 83), we see how the author, Emma Beckley, used Hawaiian literary devices, especially kaona, to convey very different messages to her English-speaking and Hawaiian-speaking readerships.

莫作为抵抗者：殖民环境中的“Kahalaopuna”Kaona

摘要:卡哈拉奥普纳的故事是夏威夷语中的一个词，意思是“故事”、“故事”和“历史”，所有这些定义同时起作用。这些不同层次的意思是通过一种叫做kaona的装置来表达的，这是夏威夷的一种口头和文学特征，允许任何莫奥莱洛人对不同的听众说话，向每个人传达不同的意思和不同的深度。虽然这个故事，“Kahalaopuna”，最初是用英语而不是夏威夷语出版的(1883年)，但我们看到作者艾玛·贝克利如何使用夏威夷文学手法，特别是kaona，向讲英语和讲夏威夷语的读者传达截然不同的信息。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
