| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the Hawaiian art of ho‘opāpā, a contest of wit centered around cultural and verbal excellence. Though a few characteristics of ho‘opāpā still survive today, the art as discussed in this piece has been largely lost over time to the Hawaiian-language-speaking community. Its remnants are found in old stories within the various repositories of Hawaiian newspapers, manuscripts, and recordings. The focus of this research is that of formal ho‘opāpā, as can be found in the story of the famous riddling youngster of Puna, named Kalapana, along with various versions of his story. Within this story, ho‘opāpā can be seen as divided into three sections: prose, actions, and poetry; and may also consist of a combination thereof. | |
