An Ethnographic Study of Cook Islands Maori Happiness: Experiences and Constructions of Happiness in Rural, Urban and Migratory Contexts of Cook Islan

这项研究旨在对库克群岛毛利人在三个地理背景下的“幸福”概念和经历进行民族志调查，即库克群岛最大和人口最多的岛屿拉罗通加的农村村庄，库克群岛的城市首府阿瓦鲁阿，以及库克群岛大多数岛民居住的新西兰奥克兰的库克岛民社区。这项研究是在一种更广泛的、新兴的“善的人类学”的范围内进行的，它补充和平衡了该学科对病理学的关注，并解决了关于人类繁荣、奋斗和幸福的有限的人种学见解。

This study aims to ethnographically investigate conceptions and experiences of 'happiness' amongst Cook Islands Maori in three geographic contexts, i.e. the rural villages of Rarotonga - the Cook Islands' largest and most populous island, the Cook Islands' urban capital Avarua, and Cook Islander communities in Auckland, New Zealand, where the majority of Cook Islanders reside. The research is situated within a wider, emerging 'anthropology of the good' that complements and counter-balances the discipline's focus on pathologies and addresses the limited ethnographic insights on human flourishing, striving and well-being.
