Описание:

Within little more than ten years in the early nineteenth century, inhabitants of Tahiti, Hawaii and fifteen other closely related societies destroyed or desecrated all of their temples and most of their god-images. In the aftermath of the explosive event, which Sissons terms the Polynesian Iconoclasm, hundreds of architecturally innovative churches — one the size of two football fields — were constructed. At the same time, Christian leaders introduced oppressive laws and courts, which the youth resisted through seasonal displays of revelry and tattooing. Seeking an answer to why this event occurred in the way that it did, this book introduces and demonstrates an alternative “practice history” that draws on the work of Marshall Sahlins and employs Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, improvisation and practical logic.

Treatife more than to any other belongs the credit of having affigned in popular eftimation to the angler his meditative and gentle nature. Many pure and noble intelle ts have kindled into lafting'devotion to angling on reading her eloquent commendation of it. Such men as Donne, Wotton, and Herbert, Paley, Bell, and Davy, together with many another excellent and fimple difpofition, have caught enthu fiafrn from her lofty fentiments, and found that not their bodily health only, but alfo their morals, were improved by angling. It became a fchool of virtues, a quiet paftime in which, while looking into their own hearts, they learnt lefi'ons of the higheft wifdom, reverence, refignation, and love love of their fellow-men, of the lower creatures, and of their.
