520 "This volume of essays is an exploration of the way in
which scholars from different disciplines, standpoints and
theoretical orientations attempt to write life stories in
the Pacific. It is the product of a conference organised
by the Division of Pacific and Asian History at The
Australian National University in December 2005. The aim
of the conference was to explore ways in which Pacific
lives are read and constructed through a variety of media:
films, fiction, faction, history under four overarching
themes. The first, Framing Lives, sought to explore
various ways of constructing a life from a classic western
perspective of birth, formation, experiences and death of
an individual to other ways, for example, life as
secondary to a longer genealogical entity, life as a
symbol of collective experience, individual lives captured
and fragmented in a mosaic of others, lives made
meaningful by their implication in a particular historical
or cultural web, the underlying values and world views
that inform one or another approach to framing a life. The
second theme, the Stuff of Life, looked at materials,
methods and collaborative arrangements with which the
biographer, autobiographer and recorder work, their
objectives, constraints, inspirations, challenges and
tricks. The third section, Story Lines, focused on formats
and genres such as edited diaries, collections of writings,
voice recordings, genres of biography autobiography, truth
and fiction (verse, dance, novels) and the varieties and
different advantages of narrative shapes that crystallise
the telling of a life. The final section, Telling Lives/
Changing Lives, focused on biography/autobiography and the
consciousness of identity, history, purpose, lives as
witness and windows, telling lives as change for those
involved in the tale, the telling, the listening. The
overall aim was to bring out both the generic or universal
challenges of telling lives as well as to highlight the
particular tendencies and trends in the Pacific. Yet these
four themes, which seemed analytically promising at the
outset, proved in practice difficult to disentangle from
the presentations at the workshop"--Provided by publisher.
