Abstract

A cautionary narrative taken from a 20th-century collection of Cook Islands oral traditions recounts the mistreatment of a daughter, Pataariri, by her chiefly father, Kōtuku, and his consequential death caused by a spirit power putting matters to rights. This paper highlights narrative features such as repetition, expansion, images and gestures, as well as the cultural valuing of the protection of vulnerable people by those in authority. Failure to look after others could result in spiritual interventions that admonished or even killed the perpetrators, a cultural form of policing behaviours that still operates today.

库克群岛曼加亚警语传统的叙事特征和文化母题。
20世纪库克群岛的口述传统中有一段警示性的叙述,讲述了女儿Pataariri被她的父亲Kōtuku虐待的故事,以及他被一种精神力量所导致的死亡。本文突出了重复、扩展、形象、手势等叙事特征,以及当权者保护弱势群体的文化价值。不照顾他人可能会导致精神干预,警告甚至杀死肇事者,这是一种至今仍在运作的警务行为的文化形式。
