In the final chapter, “Fishing Livelihoods and Wellbeing,” Fabinyi and Barclay provide an outline for adopting a relational approach to fishing livelihoods to improve social and ecological outcomes in fisheries governance, noting the ways in which this approach can be utilized by academics, activists, and policy makers. They also advocate for a well-being approach that, while not a panacea, brings together diverse knowledge systems as it addresses a shared higher-level goal: the well-being of human communities, an aim typically stated in fisheries legislation. This approach is also attractive across disciplines, as it provides an adaptable framework rather than prescribing specific methods for research. These are crucial recommendations in the context of fisheries management development in the Asia-Pacific region, which is home to the largest number of fishers and the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet. fiona mccormack Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, University of Waikato","PeriodicalId":51783,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Pacific","volume":"34 1","pages":"504 - 506"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41497370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the articulations of Pacific relationality is the sacred relational space of connection and separation: vā. Differences in relational thinking around vā in the region should be celebrated, but in an increasingly mobile world, Pacific wisdom can also be honored by paying attention to commonalities. In his essay, we offer a dialogue between friends who seek mutual learning across our various fields in relation to the concept of vā: Samoan village life, Tongan leadership in the New Zealand Public Service, and Pacific education. Through an informed and critical conversation across established and emerging social spaces, we hope to provide navigation points for others who value the vā in research and other pursuits.","PeriodicalId":51783,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Pacific","volume":"34 1","pages":"135 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43755349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In news narratives of this type, compensation is a metaphor for the contact between liberal and relational social orders. In this way, news media in PNG produce knowledge of what it means to be a citizen in a society defined by vast and profound diversity. Different versions of the basic formula for compensation stories offer different models for how liberal and relational orders should interact, one stressing the logic of reciprocal debt and interdependence and the other emphasizing the gift as a dematerialized symbol of commitment to civic order. Yet each variant implicates the other, and hence the status of the Indigenous subject as a citizen of a postcolonial nation remains fundamentally ambiguous. Stories of a new type of compensation in national newspapers reveal that PNG society and its media continue to work through the dilemmas of ethnographic citizenship in ever newer ways.","PeriodicalId":51783,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Pacific","volume":"34 1","pages":"63 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41705420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article uses the boogaloo movement's \"aloha shirt uniform\" as an opportunity to reengage with a discussion about the role the attire plays in popular imagination. An analysis of different uses of aloha wear by Hawaiians, Hawai'i residents, and boogaloo members demonstrates that location and context impact the shirt's distinct visibility and dictate how its contested meanings are understood. It also contends that the distinction between the aloha shirt as a signifier of a multicultural tropical paradise and the boogaloo movement's use of it as a symbol of white nationalism is not as disconnected as some make it out to be.","PeriodicalId":51783,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Pacific","volume":"34 1","pages":"31 - 61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45325967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The racism is extensive, ranging from negative stereotypes to official government statements.

Through this process, we have discovered a shared resilience and pride among Pacific Island peoples in Australia, as evident in their use of cultural imagery, family, and knowledge to guide their individual and collective journeys. In this essay, we provide a strengths-based perspective on Pacific Islanders and their cultures in hopes of informing both local and national government policies.
