Abstract

Tides of Innovation is directly inspired by Epeli Hau' ofa's vision of the Pacific as a "Sea of islands"; the image of tides recalls the cyclical movement of weaves, with its unpredictable conseguqences. The authors propose tides of innovation as a fluid concept, unbound and open to many directions. This perspective is axplored through ethnographic case studies centerd on deeply elaborated analyses of locally inflected agencies involved in different transforming contexts.
