Cross-redressing the Political in Oceanian Textile Cultures: Collectivity, syncretism and globalization

Khadija Carroll

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Textile practices in the Pacific islands complicate any neat classification as either craft, contemporary art or traditional ceremony, individually or collectively authored. These binaries can be productively updated through global examples that are linked by anti-colonial resistance movements. In this chapter the broad geographic definition of the Pacific Ocean or Oceania refers especially to the islands of Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia that are its focus. It represents strains of contemporary textile cultures from this region and the particular ways in which collective practices respond critically to globalization.
