| dbo:abstract | Un Tabua es un diente pulido de un cachalote y un elemento cultural importante en la sociedad de Fiyi. (es) Le terme tabua désigne une dent polie de cachalot dans la culture des Fidji. Leur nom provient d'un héros mythologique. Elles sont utilisées à titre de cadeaux d'expiation ou d'estime (sevusevu) et sont importantes dans les négociations car on leur prête des pouvoirs liés au mana. Elles étaient très rares, issues de l' et du commerce avec l'île de Tonga, mais à la suite de la découverte des îles et de l'ouverture du marché, de nombreuses fausses dents en ivoire de défenses de morse firent leur apparition et permirent alors le développement de l'art européen du scrimshaw. Aujourd'hui, leur commercialisation est interdite, mais elles restent un don prisé pour les mariages, anniversaires et funérailles ; on les enterre avec leur propriétaire afin de l’aider dans sa vie après la mort. Elles sont aussi récupérées à titre de symbole de confiance par la publicité (Air Pacific a un Tabua Club et une Tabua Class). On les trouve aussi sur la pièce de 20 cents du dollar fidjien. Bien que leur exportation soit interdite ou régulée par des permis complexes, de plus en plus de tabua se retrouvent à Tonga, où ils sont commercialisés. (fr) A tabua is a polished tooth of a sperm whale that is an important cultural item in Fijian society. They were traditionally given as gifts for atonement or esteem (called sevusevu), and were important in negotiations between rival chiefs. The dead men would be buried with their tabua, along with war clubs and even their strangled wives, to help them in the afterlife. Originally they were very rare items, available only from beached whales and from trade from neighbouring Tonga (where the practice may have originated), but when the market became known in the early 19th century thousands of teeth, and fake teeth made from ivory and walrus tusks entered the market. This trade led to the development of the European art of scrimshaw. Today the tabua remains an important item in Fijian life. They are not sold but traded regularly as gifts in weddings, birthdays, and at funerals. The tabua is also increasingly used in advertising as a trusted symbol or brand, for example Fiji Airways has a Tabua Club (frequent flyer) and a Tabua Class for business class. They also feature on the Fijian 20 cent piece. (en) |
