The project hypothesizes that representational struggles over indigenous identity are crucially shaped by the range of genres in which identity is asserted. Through the case of Kanaks in New Caledonia, as represented by several everyday genres hitherto neglected by scholarship, the representational politics of indigeneity are interrogated with the aim of demonstrating that Kanak existence is constituted in the semiotic detail of everyday generic variation. The project's significance lies in its radical reconception of identity and representational politics: going beyond indigenous versus colonial binaries, it reveals the complexity of day-to-day competition over and consolidation of indigenous identity through representational systems.

该项目假设，土著身份的代表性斗争是至关重要的塑造了一系列的体裁，其中的身份是断言。通过在新喀里多尼亚的卡纳克人的情况下，作为代表的几个日常体裁迄今被忽视的学术，土著的代表政治的审问，目的是证明卡纳克人的存在是构成日常通用变异的符号学细节。该项目的重要性在于其对身份和代表政治的彻底重新认识：超越了土著与殖民地的二元对立，它揭示了通过代表制度对土著身份进行日常竞争和巩固的复杂性。
