Diana Looser's study moves beyond a predictable country-specific or island-specific focus to encompass an entire region defined by diversity and global exchange, showing how performance operates to frame social, artistic, and political relationships across widely dispersed locations. The study also demonstrates how Oceanian performance contributes to international debates about diaspora, indigeneity, urbanization, and environmental sustainability. The author considers the region's unique cultural and geographic dynamics as she brings forth the paradigm of \u003ci\u003etranspasifika\u003c\/i\u003e to suggest a way of understanding these intercultural exchanges and connections, with the aim to \"rework the cartographic and disciplinary priorities of transpacific studies to privilege the activities of Islander peoples.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Looser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472132385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472132386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Diana Looser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44046645985535,"sku":"9780472132386","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_729ff01a-bdde-41b8-b658-3b01d24524df.jpg?v=1684985686","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moving-islands-diana-looser-9780472132386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
