dbo:abstract
  • Die Tiki-Kultur oder Tiki-Style oder auch polynesian pop bezeichnet eine Modewelle, die in die Gestaltung von unzähligen Kunst- und Alltagsgegenständen wie Cocktailbechern (tiki mugs), Lampen, Körperschmuck und Skulpturen sowie in die Wohnhaus-, Bar-, Restaurant- und Hotel-Architektur Eingang fand. Sie erreichte ihre Blüte in den späten 1950er bis frühen 1960er Jahren, vor allem nachdem Hawaii 1959 zum 50. Bundesstaat der USA geworden war. In den 1970er Jahren ebbte die Exotik-Welle ab, in den 1980er Jahren begannen ihre Erzeugnisse im großen Stil aus dem öffentlichen Bild vor allem der USA wieder zu verschwinden. In dieser Zeit wurden die Relikte einer kaum thematisierten Pop-Kultur von einer neuen Generation wiederentdeckt und der Begriff „Tiki“ zur allgemeinen Bezeichnung Südsee-inspirierter Trivialkultur erweitert. Ab der Mitte der 1990er Jahre kam es, ausgehend von Kalifornien, zu einem „Tiki-Revival“, das sich auch auf Europa und Australien auswirkte. (de)

  • Tiki culture is an American-originated art, music, and entertainment movement inspired by Polynesian, Melanesian and Micronesian cultures. Inspired by Oceanian art, influential cultures to Tiki culture include Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, the Caribbean Islands, and Hawaii. The name comes from Tiki, the Māori name for the first human, often represented in the form of hei-tiki, a pendant and important taonga. The hei-tiki was often appropriated by Europeans as a commercialised good luck charm, hence the name of Tiki culture. Despite spanning over 10,000 miles and including many different unrelated cultures, religions, and languages, Tiki aesthetic is considered by some to be amalgamated into one "fantasia of trans-Pacific cultures" and "colonial nostalgia". Because of this, and the simplistic view of the Pacific taken by the aesthetic, Tiki culture has often proved controversial. Tiki culture initially extended to decorate themed bars and restaurants, catering to Americans' views of the South Pacific. Featuring tiki carvings and complex, alluringly named alcoholic drinks, it eventually influenced residential recreation. It became one of the primary ways, although indirectly, that New Zealand culture influenced that of the United States. Beginning in California in the 1930s and then spreading around the world, Tiki culture was inspired by the sentimental appeal of an idealized South Pacific, particularly Hawaii, Polynesia and Oceania, as viewed through the experiences of tourists and Hollywood movies, incorporating beautiful scenery, forbidden love, and the potential for danger. Over time, it selectively incorporated more cultural elements (and imagined aspects) of other regions such as Southeast Asia. While the decor and ambiance at these establishments largely draws from Polynesian influences, the cocktails are inspired by the tropical drinks and ingredients of the Caribbean. Tiki culture changed over time, influenced by World War II and the firsthand exposure hundreds of thousands of American servicemen gained during that conflict. In time its appeal wore off, and both the culture and the hospitality industry theme saw a decline. The early decades of the 21st century have seen a renaissance of interest in Tiki culture, including a limited commercial revival. In addition, it has attracted people interested in cocktails, history, urban archeology, and retroism. However, the appropriation of indigenous Pacific cultures has become increasingly challenged as culturally insensitive or racist. (en)
  • Het begrip tikicultuur ontstond rond de jaren 30 van de 20e eeuw in de Verenigde Staten. De stijl is geïnspireerd op de tikisnijkunst uit de Maoricultuur. De horecaondernemer Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, ook bekend als , heeft een grote rol gespeeld in het promoten van deze stijl. In de jaren 40 en 50 werd de interesse in de Polynesische cultuur versterkt door Amerikaanse soldaten die na de Tweede Wereldoorlog terugkwamen uit de Pacific en doordat Hawaï in 1959 een staat werd binnen de Verenigde Staten. De tikicultuur leidde tot de opening van zogenaamde , waar, binnen een tropisch decor, exotische cocktails werden geschonken. Verder inspireerde het tot het inrichten van themarestaurants, attracties in pretparken, films, muziek (geïnspireerd op Hula), meubilair en tropisch vormgegeven cocktails, zoals de Mai Tai, de Zombie en de Blue Hawaii.
