What happened to "the fearless tailor" in Kilivila: A European fairy tale - from the South Seas

Abstract

The A. present a fairy-tale from the Trobriand Islands and discusses some consequences the linguistic and cultural contact situation with Australian missionaries had for the islanders. The fairy-tale can easily be recognized as the Kilivila version of the European tale « The fearless tailor ». A comparison between the two tales reveals that although the Kilivila version travels between a European and a Trobriand world (linguistic and contents), the Trobriand tale combines the European - fary-tale - world and the Trobriand world - of myths. However with this combination processes of change on the Trobriands are fostered and supported
