  • Metafiction in New Zealand from the 1960S to the Present Day
    Metafiction in New Zealand from the 1960s to the present day A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Matthew Harris 2011 Metafiction in New Zealand from the 1960s to the present day (2011) by Matthew Harris (for Massey University) is licensed under a Creative Commons - Attribution -NonCommercial -NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available at www.matthewjamesharris.com. ii ABSTRACT While studies of metafiction have proliferated across America and Europe, the present thesis is the first full-length assessment of its place in the literature of New Zealand. Taking as its point of reference a selection of works from authors Janet Frame, C.K. Stead, Russell Haley, Michael Jackson and Charlotte Randall, this thesis employs a synthesis of contextual and performative frameworks to examine how the internationally- prevalent mode of metafiction has influenced New Zealand fiction since the middle of the 20 th century. While metafictional texts have conventionally been thought to undermine notions of realism and sever illusions of representation, this thesis explores ways in which the metafictional mode in New Zealand since the 1960s might be seen to expand and augment realism by depicting individual modes of thought and naturalising unique forms of self-reflection, during what some commentators have seen as a period of cultural ‘inwardness’ following various socio-political shifts in the latter

Tangaroa, God of the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, has arranged it all with his Fremande counterpart. Because of the French infamy in sinking the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, let the New Zealanders defeat French Kiss in the semi-finals of the America's Cup; because of the American infamy — bullying New Zealand for refusing entrance to U.S. nuclear warships, for keeping Tangaroa's waters pure — let the young New Zealanders defeat Denis Conner and his Stars and Stripes in the finals. Of course, at it turned out, Conner vo ercame the Kiwi syndicate and the consortium of gods; but, even if this had not been so, the divine vengeance would have come to an everyday halt. After all, the Australians hold the Cup; after defeating the Americans, the New Zealanders would have faced the Australians.

  • Pākehā Constructions of National Identity in New Zealand Literary Anthologies
    CREATING NEW ZEALAND: PĀKEHĀ CONSTRUCTIONS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN NEW ZEALAND LITERARY ANTHOLOGIES A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Victoria University of Wellington by SUSAN WILD Victoria University of Wellington 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my grateful thanks for the support and assistance of my two supervisors at Victoria University, Professors Mark Williams and Peter Whiteford, who have provided invaluable guidance in bringing the thesis to its completion; Professor Vincent O’Sullivan and Dr. Brian Opie provided early assistance; I am appreciative also for the helpful advice and encouragement given by Ed Mares, and for the support and patience of my family. This was especially helpful during the disruptive period of the Christchurch earthquakes, and in their long aftermath. I wish also to state my appreciation for the services of the staff at the National Library of New Zealand, the Alexander Turnbull Library, the MacMillan Brown Library, the Mitchell Library, Sydney, and the libraries of Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Canterbury – the extensive collections of New Zealand literature held at these institutions and others comprise an enduring taonga. 1 ABSTRACT The desire to construct a sense of home and the need to belong are basic to human society, and to the processes of its cultural production. Since the beginning of New Zealand’s European colonial settlement, the determination to create and reflect a separate and distinctive collective identity for the country’s Pākehā population has been the primary focus of much local creative and critical literature.

  • A New Zealand History of Performances and Exhibitions
    SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies Journal of Science Communication ISSN 1824 – 2049 http://jcom.sissa.it/ RECEIVED: October 11, 2010 PUBLISHED: May 13, 2011 Article Science as theatre: a New Zealand history of performances and exhibitions Peter Hodder ABSTRACT: In colonial times in New Zealand the portrayal of science to the public had a sense of theatre, with nineteenth and early twentieth century grand exhibitions of a new nation’s resources and its technological achievements complemented by spectacular public lectures and demonstrations by visitors from overseas and scientific ‘showmen’. However, from 1926 to the mid-1990s there were few public displays of scientific research and its applications, corresponding to an inward-looking science regime presided over by the Government science agency, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The subsequent development of science centres with their emphasis on visitor participation has led to an increase in the audience for science and a revival of theatricality in presentation of exhibitions, demonstration lectures, café scientifiques, and science-related activities. Introduction Theatrical science activities could be considered to occur at a point along a continuum between participant- directed activity and an activity directed by a professional performer, and similarly between structured and spontaneous activity.1 An example of a structured and performer directed science activity is: A professor in a white coat sweeps into the room. The lights fade. The first slide of a Powerpoint presentation on chemical reactions screens behind the professor, only to be dimmed by a brilliant flash of light and the crack of explosion from the bench in front of him.

  • This Is New Zealand Reflects on Who We Thought We Were, Who We Think We Are
    curated by Robert Leonard and Aaron Lister, with Moya Lawson First, a Word from the CuratorsRobert Leonard . .and . Aaron Lister Teasing out connections between images, ideology, and identity, our exhibition This Is New Zealand reflects on who we thought we were, who we think we are. Taking a critical look at stories we’ve told ourselves and others, it asks: Who and what have been included and excluded? And who is this mythical ‘we’? This Is New Zealand emerged out of our thinking about New Zealand’s participation in the Venice Biennale. New Zealand has been going to the Biennale since 2001, and it looms large for our art scene. The Biennale is the world’s largest, most important, and longest-running regular contemporary-art mega-show, and our participation declares our desire to be ‘international’, to be part of the wider art discussion. However, some of the artists we have sent to Venice have taken it as an opportunity to tackle old questions Lisa Reihana (sunglasses) and the Governor-General, of national identity, riffing on the Biennale’s Her Excellency the Rt. Hon. Dame Patsy Reddy (cloak), arrive in style on the Disdotona—a giant old-school national-pavilion structure. Our gondola, propelled by eighteen rowers from the show includes three examples from Venice. Canottieri Querini Rowing Club—for the opening of Reihana’s exhibition Emissaries, New Zealand Michael Stevenson’s 2003 project This Is pavilion, Venice Biennale, 10 May 2017. ‘It was the Trekka looks like a belated trade display wonderful coming down the Grand Canal.
