| Summary: | In the Pacific, the consciousness of belonging to a common region is often described as a recent trend, while archeology and traditions have proven that bounds existed even under significant geographical distance before colonial contact. We see here the social science current inclination to deconstruction, turning Oceanian regionalism into a Western projection. Otherwise, when we think about studies on regional integration, the cultural aspect is most of the time put apart. Political and economic actors are the ones highlighted. Recurring calls for closer ties at cultural level and the relational capital built by many intellectuals, artists, and craftsmen receive far little recognition. Localism still prevails in most cultural studies on the Pacific. This article identifies and addresses the barriers to a full knowledge of such “continental” cultural enunciation, almost unprecedented in the world. |
