商品描述
A BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND RICHLY ILLUSTRATED RETELLING OF THE UNIQUE AND POWERFUL HISTORY OF SAMOAN TATTOOING, FROM 3000 YEARS AGO TO MODERN PRACTICES. The Samoan Islands are virtually unique in that tattooing has been continuously practised with indigenous techniques: the full male tattoo, the pe'a has evolved in subtle ways in its design since the nineteenth century, but remains as elaborate, meaningful, and powerful as it ever was. This cultural history is the first publication to examine 3000 years of Samoan tatau. Through a chronology rich with people, encounters and events it describes how Samoan tattooing has been shaped by local and external forces of change over many centuries. It argues that Samoan tatau has a long history of relevance both within and beyond Samoa, and a more complicated history than is currently presented in the literature. It is richly illustrated with historical images of nineteenth and twentieth century Samoan tattooing, contemporary tattooing, diagrams of tattoo designs and motifs, and with supplementary photographs such as posters, ephemera, film stills and artifacts.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一部精美設計且豐富插圖的獨特且強大的薩摩亞刺青歷史重述，從三千年前到現代實踐。薩摩亞群島幾乎是獨一無二的，因為刺青一直以來都使用本土技術持續進行：完整的男性刺青，稱為 pe'a，自十九世紀以來在設計上有了微妙的演變，但仍然保持著其精緻、富有意義和強大的特質。這部文化歷史是第一本探討三千年薩摩亞 tatau 的出版物。通過一個充滿人物、遭遇和事件的年表，它描述了薩摩亞刺青如何在數個世紀中受到當地和外部變革力量的影響。它主張薩摩亞 tatau 在薩摩亞內部及外部都有著悠久的相關歷史，並且其歷史比目前文獻中所呈現的更為複雜。書中豐富地插入了十九世紀和二十世紀薩摩亞刺青的歷史圖片、當代刺青、刺青設計和圖案的圖解，以及補充的照片，如海報、短暫物品、電影劇照和文物。
