GWS265: Gender, Place, & Space

This course examines the historical, political, and cultural spaces and places of the indigenous Pacific. Such spaces and places range from the marked and gendered boundaries of powerful male and female gods in Hawaiian cosmologies and origin stories, and the 17th c. guma uritao (“bachelor homes”), which Chamorro women of the Mariana Islands frequented and which Spanish Catholic missionaries condemned, to the New Zealand marae (“gathering place”) and whare (“meeting house”), an architectural marvel admired for its elaborate wood carvings that embody Maori genealogy. To attend to these native spaces and places, we will compare and contrast early and more recent Euro‐American missionary, scientific, and colonial accounts with a variety of sources produced by native Pacific Islanders. We will explore how indigenous poetry, film, and forms of mapping explicitly challenge conventional representations.
