Abstract

ABSTRACT In current cultural anthropology, under the influence of postmodernism, considerable attention is given to the multiplicity of interpretive perspectives with which people contend in making sense of their daily experiences. In this article I examine diverse representations of the nation‐state in Tonga and other Pacific microstates. My focus is on the configuration of ideological diversity in the Tongan Magistrate's Courts compared with configurations of traditional and modern nationalist ideologies in other Tongan political domains and in other Pacific nations. Some contemporary anthropological accounts represent ideological diversity as plural, fluid, and rapidly changing. Other accounts of ideological diversity emphasize the oppositional structuring of ideas and the power struggle for ideological domination. I argue that it is useful to think of an ecology of ideas, in which multiple ideas move across discourse domains, becoming implanted in hospitable discourse environments, much as plants move into new environments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
