Abstract

This essay sheds analytical light on the interviews of three Tahitian writers, Flora Aurima-Devatine, Nathalie Heirani Salmon-Hudry, and Chantal Spitz. It examines their conditions of production, as well as the constellation of poetic, societal, and philosophical reflections that the videos – and the voices, gestures, trajectories, values, and humour that they convey – constitute for Tahitian literary history. The first part explores the new ways offered by the videos to study Tahitian literature and emphasises the authors’ desire to conjure up healing words. The second part focuses on the perspectives offered by the writers on society and societal topics such as disability, memory, and colonisation. The third part concentrates on the emotion and on the cultural, humane heritage revealed by these interviews. It shows that the three writers, each in their own terms, offer a reflection on dignity and how to participate to a more equitable society.
