| Research Abstract |
The research schedule was carried out in 1999 with a few changes. The schedule in 2000 was a little modified and carried out to follow up the lacked data. The research in each country beforehand made it possible to observe the preparatory stage of dancing performances in the Festival and the general situation of various genre of arts.
In Polynesia, various forms of traditional arts are closely linked to tourism while they are significant to the identity of the people in their social life. Conditions are different from a society to another.
In Papua New Guinea, while there are various ethnic cultures, 'traditional culture, ' is invented as a new cultural identity to integrate the whole nation. Not only the dance but various forms of arts are created as symbols of Papua New Guinea which do not conform to a single tribe in the country.
Micronesians are the latest performers in the Pacific Festival of Arts. In their countries, they do not dance their own dances for tourists. They are now trying to find their own 'traditional' dancing and other art forms and to seek the way of representing them.
Each representation of the Pacific Island Nations in the Festival of Arts, how to choose the delegation, and how to choose the dancing and other art forms is interpreted to be entangled with the internal affairs of politics, the domestic situation of culture in general, and the formation of the nation. We may examine them through the detailed historical and ethnographical study of each country. We have discussed some of them in the Report.
The whole situation of the each Pacific Festival of Arts is, as well, determined by the domestic political situation and the general art forms of the host country. As for the Eighth Festival in New Caledonia, the leaders of indigenous Kanak people have taken it as a significant opportunity for themselves to represent New Caledonia in the formation of their own identity in the de-colonizing process.
