It examines the ways in which Solomon Islanders from neighbouring Savo Island engage with HCM and the opportunities it brings. Using Renzaho and Mellor’s (2010) conceptual framework for analysis of food security assessment we explore the symbiotic relationship that provides food security for those living in and around Honiara city, and income for the mostly subsistence farmers who supply Honiara’s growing population with fresh agricultural produce. Data from five focus groups from three villages on Savo Island reveals the critical importance of income from market sales at the HCM. The article demonstrates the mix of logistical and environmental challenges that confront people when trying to earn money through farming and sales of surplus food.","PeriodicalId":35198,"journal":{"name":"PORTAL: Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"67-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43653839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Population, Reproduction and IVF in New Caledonia: Exploring Sociocultural and Caring Dimensions of Sustainable Development","authors":"Nicola J. Marks","doi":"10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5410","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5410","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract \u0000 \u0000Both sustainability and sustainable development have multiple meanings that are underpinned by diverse normative visions. Nonetheless, sustainable development is currently centre-stage at the global level. The main goal of this paper is to critically examine these important concepts, in particular their social and cultural dimensions, and to make a conceptual offering: that of ‘caring sustainable development.’ This way of thinking about sustainable development aims to grapple in a situated way with the different normative underpinnings of sustainability in order to support the building of a common future. The paper briefly examines populations, reproduction (both biological and sociocultural) and human in vitro fertilization (IVF), as important sites for thinking about caring sustainable development. It draws on research in New Caledonia examining which populations and which sociocultural social practices are encouraged or sustained, or not. It finds that historically there are many examples of things and people being neglected and not cared for, or being encouraged to ‘develop’ in problematic ways. By contrast, recent practices associated with IVF suggest ways forward that would enable caring sustainable development. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Resume \u0000 \u0000La durabilite et le developpement durable ont des significations multiples, qui sont sous-tendues par diverses visions normatives. Neanmoins, le developpement durable occupe actuellement une place centrale sur le plan mondial. Le but principal de cet article est d’examiner de maniere critique ces concepts importants, en particulier leurs dimensions sociales et culturelles, et de faire une contribution conceptuelle qui est celle de la notion du ‘care dans le developpement durable.’ Cette facon de penser au developpement durable vise a aborder ces differents fondements normatifs, de facon localisee, pour soutenir la construction a long terme d’un futur commun. L’article examine ensuite brievement les populations, la reproduction (a la fois biologique et socio-culturelle) et la fecondation humaine in vitro (FIV), en tant que sites importants pour penser a l’idee du ‘care’ dans le developpement durable. Il s’appuie sur la recherche en Nouvelle Caledonie pour analyser quelles populations et quelle pratiques socio-culturelles sont encouragees voire soutenues ou pas. L’article trouve que du point de vue historique, il y a de nombreux exemples de choses et de personnes qui ont ete negligees et dont on ne se preoccupait pas, ou alors qui etaient encouragees a se ‘developper’ de maniere problematique. En revanche, les pratiques recentes associees a la FIV suggerent des moyens d’aller de l’avant qui permettraient de favoriser le ‘care’ dans developpement durable.","PeriodicalId":35198,"journal":{"name":"PORTAL: Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5410","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47842493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Le Musée du bagne en Nouvelle-Calédonie et ses constructions identitaires / The Penal Colony Museum in New Caledonia and its Identity Constructions","authors":"Fanny Pascual","doi":"10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5335","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5335","url":null,"abstract":"In the South Pacific, New Caledonia and Australia were penal colonies during the 19th century. Analysing the discourse surrouding two museums based on these convict periods (Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney and the project for a museum in Noumea), will shed light on the difficulties of facing this violent past. Even if these two countries and their histories are different, they have a common aim to accept this part of their genealogies. After having been taboo, having criminal ancestors is now a pride; exile is no more seen as an expulsion from the English or French motherland, but has become a pioneer adventure. Suppressing some aspects of this colonisation and downplaying the participation or the interactions of convicts or bagnards with other communities helps to build this memory. We must also keep in mind that museums have a political role. In New Caledonia, it is obvious that the self-determination process between 2014 and 2018 has influenced the project of the museum in Nouville: having a convict in the family will prove your belonging to the land and could justify voting rights for the 2018 referendum. These museums accordingly do not only deal with history, but influence the future. \u0000 \u0000Au XIXeme siecle, la Nouvelle-Caledonie et l'Australie etaient des colonies penitentiaires dans le Pacifique Sud. L’analyse du discours museal des deux musees (Hyde Park Barracks a Sydney et le projet pour un musee du bagne a Noumea) se base sur la periode penitentiaire pour mettre en lumiere les difficultes que l’on peut avoir a affronter son passe de violence. Meme si ces deux pays ont une histoire differente, le but commun est d'accepter cette partie de leur genealogie. Apres avoir ete tabou, avoir des ancetres criminels est maintenant une source de fierte; l'exil n'est plus considere comme une expulsion de la patrie britannique ou francaise, mais plutot comme une aventure de pionniers. Ceci entraine un deni d'autres aspects de la colonisation et reduit la participation ou les interactions entre communautes dans la construction de l’histoire memorielle. Nous devons egalement garder a l'esprit que les musees jouent un role politique. En Nouvelle-Caledonie, il est evident que le processus d'autodetermination prevu entre 2014-2018 a influence le projet du musee a Nouville. Un bagnard dans la famille prouvera votre ancrage dans cette terre et pourrait justifier votre droit de vote dans le referendum. Ces musees n’evoquent pas seulement l'histoire mais preparent aussi l’avenir.","PeriodicalId":35198,"journal":{"name":"PORTAL: Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5335","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42704175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the men transferred to Australia were ten men who had been formerly French nationals but had lost their French nationality by decree. The French Administration’s ability to denationalise and intern and then subsequently repatriate the former-Japanese French-nationals was possible due to changes to the French nationality laws and regulations introduced by the Vichy regime. This paper considers the case of the Japanese who had taken French nationality and were denationalised in the context of the changes to the French nationality laws that, in turn, negatively affected the post-1945 sustainability of the Japanese community in New Caledonia.","PeriodicalId":35198,"journal":{"name":"PORTAL: Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5130/PORTAL.V14I2.5478","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44054572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He recovered, and the opera premiered as scheduled with the help of a co-director before he returned to Paris to direct the Comedie Francais premiere of his Quatre quatuors pour un week-end . He underwent surgery in February and March of 2003, but was soon again back at work. The year 2003 had been designated “Gao Xingjian Year” by the City of Marseille, and he would direct his new play Le Queteur de la Mort at Theâtre du Gymnase, and then his Snow in Augus t at Opera de Marseille. It was during rehearsals for the former that he collapsed again, and was hospitalized: the play was co-directed by Romain Bonnin, 23–26 September 2003. Large exhibitions of Gao’s artworks had been held earlier that year, but the performance of Snow in August was postponed. During his recuperation for most of 2004, he sometimes wrote poems, some of which he later polished or rewrote for his collection Wandering Spirit and Metaphysical Thoughts (2012).
