Résumé Dans ces deux extraits d'articles, James Clifford aborde la question des dynamismes culturels indigènes. Suivant la pensée de Jean-Marie Tjibaou, il expose en termes d'articulations les différentes dialectiques qui parcourent les rapports aux lieux et aux localisations du pouvoir. À travers les dialectiques liant les histoires autochtones et diasporiques, les origines et les déplacements, les rapports entre passés, présents et futur, il explore les aménagements et les agencements indigènes enchevêtrés dans les situations post et néocoloniales et les enjeux des réappropriations de souveraineté.

Taking its inspiration from the thought and action of Jean-Marie Tjibaou, this essay proposes a comparative analysis of "articulated sites of indigeneity." It explores the advantages and limitations of translating North Atlantic cultural studies approaches into island Pacific contexts. Stuart Hall's articulation theory is proposed as a partial way beyond the stand-offs created by recent debates around the "invention of tradition." The dialectic of indigenous and diasporic histories, roots and routes, is explored with regard to experiences of post-and neocolonial interdependence and pragmatic sovereignty.

Discusses the inevitable role of allegory in ethnographic research & means of understanding & harnessing it. Encoded within written reports, ethnographic research represents a form of story telling that simultaneously describes real cultural events & makes moral, ideological, & abstract statements about the object of study & the outside world. Both local cultural & general meanings are implicit within ethnography, & it is argued that allegory is not a supplement to these stories, but the framework that gives them meaning. The factual cannot be separated from the allegorical in these accounts, & thus, the meanings of an ethnographic text cannot be controlled or limited by the author. Recognition of the role of allegory highlights the need for acceptance of the political & ethical dimensions of research, by both readers & writers of ethnography. T. Sevier
