But what are we buying into when we read these stories as texts in English-language translations? Cristina Bacchilega poses this question in her examination of the way these stories have been adapted to produce a legendary Hawai'i primarily for non-Hawaiian readers or other audiences.With an understanding of tradition that foregrounds history and change, Bacchilega examines how, following the 1898 annexation of Hawai'i by the United States, the publication of Hawaiian legends in English delegitimized indigenous narratives and traditions and at the same time constructed them as representative of Hawaiian culture. Hawaiian mo'olelo were translated in popular and scholarly English-language publications to market a new cultural product: a space constructed primarily for Euro-Americans as something simultaneously exotic and primitive and beautiful and welcoming. To analyze this representation of Hawaiian traditions, place, and genre, Bacchilega focuses on translation across languages, cultures, and media; on photography, as the technology that contributed to the visual formation of a westernized image of Hawai'i; and on tourism as determining postannexation economic and ideological machinery.In a book with interdisciplinary appeal, Bacchilega demonstrates both how the myth of legendary Hawai'i emerged and how this vision can be unmade and reimagined. 606 $aLegends$zHawaii$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOral tradition$zHawaii$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFolk literature$zHawaii$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHawaiians$vFolklore 606 $aPolitics and culture$zHawaii 606 $aCulture and tourism$zHawaii 606 $aHeritage tourism$zHawaii 606 $aPublic opinion$zHawaii 607 $aHawaii$xColonization 607 $aHawaii$vFolklore 607 $aHawaii$xForeign public opinion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLegends$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOral tradition$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFolk literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHawaiians 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 0$aCulture and tourism 615 0$aHeritage tourism 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a398.209969 700 $aBacchilega$b Cristina$f1955-$01049513 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457838603321 996 $aLegendary Hawai'i and the politics of place$92487461 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04000nam 22006735 450 001 9910863191803321 005 20240619142549.0 010 $a3-030-53962-8 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-53962-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000011569087 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-53962-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6397464 035 $a(PPN)252508912 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011569087 100 $a20201114d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aLaura Bassi?The World's First Woman Professor in Natural Philosophy $eAn Iconic Physicist in Enlightenment Italy /$fedited by Luisa Cifarelli, Raffaella Simili 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 $cSpringer International Publishing$d2020 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (XI, 149 p. 17 illus.) 225 1 $aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0621 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a3-030-53961-X 327 $aLaura Bassi: emblem and record in Settecento science, Luisa Cifarelli, Raffaella Simili -- History of Accademia delle Scienze dell?Istituto di Bologna, Walter Tega -- Luigi Ferdinando Marsili.

The book describes Laura Bassi?s research activities and achievements, explaining the influence of Newton, her role in promoting Newtonian experimental physics in Bologna, and her work as an experimentalist, including on electricity. Much attention is paid to the context in which Bassi developed her career. The very considerable difficulties faced by a woman surrounded by male university teachers and members of the Academy are discussed, casting light on the constraints that led Bassi to set up the first experimental physics laboratory in her home, complete with the many instruments required for experimentation and private teaching. The aim is to provide a rounded and well-documented account of the scientific endeavors and achievements of a too often overlooked scientist who struggled to overcome the prejudices of her age. 410 0$aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0621 606 $aPhysics?Philosophy 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aScience?History 606 $aPhysics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aCultural History 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aPhysics and Astronomy 615 0$aPhysics?Philosophy. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aScience?History. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 14$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPhysics and Astronomy. 676 $a539.7520922 702 $aCifarelli$b L$g(Luisa), 702 $aSimili$b Raffaella 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863191803321 996 $aLaura Bassi?The World's First Woman Professor in Natural Philosophy$91881651 997 $aUNINA
