%X Oceania, the vast aquatic continent, has been occupied, imagined, named, re-named, talked about and transformed by human colonisers over thousands of years up to the present. In the second half of this century the Oceanians' desire to assert their modern identity in an ever changing context and over circumstances which they are often hard pressed to control has led them to formulate expressions such as the "Pacific Way", "Melanesian Way", "kastom", "fa'a samoa" and "vaka viti". However, in the past decade, the idealism and enthusiasm of the post-independence period which was reflected in those expressions, has given way to a rise in economism and traditionalism and to a lack of openness and dialogue in governance. These expressions are today often used to justify a "culture of silence" when they should be helping to forge a new vision for the South Pacific. (Résumé d'auteur)
