Gifts of Friendship: intimacy and exchange in cross-cultural contact. This project will investigate an apparently contradictory phenomenon: the existence of explicit policies of friendship-making within Euro-American imperial exploration and colonial settlement. Focusing on the Pacific islands in the period 1767-1830, it will look at the interaction of European and Polynesian traditions and practices of friendship, particularly in relation to practices of exchange. The project will examine a huge body of archival evidence, which initial findings suggest will prove to be much more self-conscious and anxious about the ethical and ideological implications of cross-cultural friendship-formation than current understandings of the operations of colonial discourse would allow.

友谊的礼物：跨文化接触中的亲密与交流。这个项目将调查一个明显矛盾的现象：在欧美帝国主义探索和殖民定居中存在明确的交友政策。本报告以1767-1830年期间的太平洋岛屿为重点，探讨欧洲和波利尼西亚传统和友谊做法的相互作用，特别是在交流做法方面。该项目将研究大量的档案证据，初步研究结果表明，这些证据将被证明比目前对殖民话语运作的理解更自觉和焦虑地关注跨文化友谊形成的伦理和意识形态影响。
