  • Une upe, aussi appelée upi, est une coiffe traditionnelle portée par les adolescents mâles lors d'un rite de passage à l'âge adulte pratiqué dans la province autonome de Bougainville, en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Faite de paille tressée, elle figure symboliquement sur le drapeau de Bougainville depuis la création de celui-ci en 1975. Par extension, le terme désigne aussi bien la coiffe que le rite et ses participants. (fr)

  • Une upe, aussi appelée upi, est une coiffe traditionnelle portée par les adolescents mâles lors d'un rite de passage à l'âge adulte pratiqué dans la province autonome de Bougainville, en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Faite de paille tressée, elle figure symboliquement sur le drapeau de Bougainville depuis la création de celui-ci en 1975. Par extension, le terme désigne aussi bien la coiffe que le rite et ses participants. Arrivés à la fin de l'adolescence, les hommes effectuant le Upe suivent pendant plus d'un an un enseignement des pratiques traditionnelles — dont la médecine, la chasse et la pêche, la culture de la terre et le chant — au cours duquel ils leur est interdit d'être vu par des femmes. Lors du référendum sur l'indépendance organisé en novembre et décembre 2019, des bureaux de vote tenus uniquement par des hommes sont notamment mis en place afin que les upes puissent participer au scrutin.

  • The upe (or upi) is a traditional headdress worn by men in parts of Bougainville (an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea) to symbolise their transition to adulthood. The term is also used to refer to the process of undergoing the transition and to the initiates themselves. The upe is the central figure of the flag of Bougainville and forms the crest of the emblem of Bougainville. It is made of tightly wound straw. According to the Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, the tradition is practised on Buka Island and in the Bougainville Island districts of Selau, Wakunai and Teua. Upes spend as long as three years undergoing initiation rites in a "school" or "college", located in a remote region. They learn traditional customs including medicine, fishing, hunting, gardening, and singing. During this time women are forbidden to see them. During the 2019 independence referendum, upes were authorised to vote at special male-only polling stations to avoid being seen by women. Election officials "hiked for two hours into the jungle to collect the votes". (en)
