T1  - The making of Tupaia’s map
BT  - a story of the extent and mastery of Polynesian navigation, competing systems of wayfinding on James Cook’s endeavour, and the invention of an ingenious cartographic system

N2  - Tupaia’s Map is one of the most famous and enigmatic artefacts to emerge from the early encounters between Europeans and Pacific Islanders. 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.

T1  - Postcolonial Literatures in English: An Introduction
N2  - Postcoloniale Literatur bezeichnet die nationalen anglophonen Literaturen in den Amerikas, Asien, Afrika und Ozeanien (zeitweise auch New English Literatures genannt). Eine Darstellung nach Regionen ist wegen der migrantischen Bewegungen der Autor/innen allerdings nicht zu leisten. Daher behandelt der Band die zentralen Themen der postkolonialen Debatte, die jeweils Autor/innen aus verschiedenen Regionen betreffen.
