Hawaiki intriguingly challenges Eurocentric notions of 'home.' Following the rapid settlement of the so-called Polynesian triangle from Samoa/Tonga at around 1000 AD, Hawaiki has emerged as a concept that is both mythological and real; genealogical and geographic; singular and yet portable, existing in plural regional manifestations. I argue that predominantly Pakeha/Popa'ā research trying to identify Hawaiki as a singular and geographically fixed homeland is misleading. I tap into the archive surrounding the Ra'iātean tahu'a and master navigator Tupaia who joined Captain Cook's crew during his first voyage to the Pacific to offer glimpses of an alternative ontology of home and epistemology of Oceanic 'homing.'}, language = {en} } @misc{BarrettEcksteinHurleyetal.2018, author = {Barrett, Lindsay and Eckstein, Lars and Hurley, Andrew Wright and Schwarz, Anja}, title = {Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglement}, series = {Postcolonial studies : culture, politics, economy}, volume = {21}, journal = {Postcolonial studies : culture, politics, economy}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1368-8790}, doi = {10.1080/13688790.2018.1443671}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{Eckstein2018, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Recollecting bones}, series = {Postcolonial Studies}, volume = {21}, journal = {Postcolonial Studies}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1368-8790}, doi = {10.1080/13688790.2018.1435146}, pages = {6 -- 19}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This article critically engages with the different politics of memory involved in debates over the restitution of Indigenous Australian ancestral remains stolen by colonial actors in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and brought to Berlin in the name of science.

It was drawn by Tupaia, an arioi priest, chiefly advisor and master navigator from Ra'iātea in the Leeward Society Islands in collaboration with various members of the crew of James Cook's Endeavour, in two distinct moments of mapmaking and three draft stages between August 1769 and February 1770. To this day, the identity of many islands on the chart, and the logic of their arrangement have posed a riddle to researchers. Drawing in part on archival material hitherto overlooked, in this long essay we propose a new understanding of the chart's cartographic logic, offer a detailed reconstruction of its genesis, and thus for the first time present a comprehensive reading of Tupaia's Map. The chart not only underscores the extent and mastery of Polynesian navigation, it is also a remarkable feat of translation between two very different wayfinding systems and their respective representational models.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Eckstein2020, author = {Eckstein, Lars}, title = {Recollecting bones}, series = {Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglements}, booktitle = {Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglements}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-367-42159-5}, pages = {22 -- 35}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{EcksteinHurley2020, author = {Eckstein, Lars and Hurley, Andrew}, title = {German-Australian Colonial Entanglements}, series = {Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglements}, journal = {Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglements}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-367-42159-5}, pages = {1 -- 21}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Remembering German-Australian Colonial Entanglements emphatically promotes a critical and nuanced understanding of the complex entanglement of German colonial actors and activities within Australian colonial institutions and different imperial ideologies.
