2015 Grimshaw Sargeson Fellowship Announced 2015 Grimshaw Sargeson Fellowship announced AUCKLAND, 18 February, 2015: The Frank Sargeson Trust announces Duncan Sarkies and Bob Glancy as the recipients of the 2015 Grimshaw Sargeson Fellowship. The writers will share a $20,000 stipend and a four month residency each at the Frank Sargeson Centre in Auckland. This will give them the ability to focus on their writing full‐time without financial distractions at a critical time in their careers. The fellowship runs from 1 April, 2015. Paul Grimshaw, Partner at Grimshaw and Co, said “It's a real privilege to give writers the resources to help them focus on their work. We’re excited to see Duncan and Bob’s next big contribution to our rich literary culture.” Elizabeth Aitken Rose, Chair of the Frank Sargeson Trust, says “The Sargeson Trust congratulates Duncan and Bob, who were selected from a strong pool of talented candidates.” Bob Glancy was born in Zambia and grew up in Malawi. Educated in the UK, he moved to New Zealand in 2003 and published his first book, Terms and Conditions, last year. Terms and Conditions has been very well received with positive reviews from publications like The New York Times and Publishers Weekly. Glancy says “It’s such an honour to be granted the Grimshaw Sargeson Fellowship, which has been previously held by so many talented New Zealand writers. It’s also a great relief to have the time, resources and space to work on my next book.” Duncan Sarkies is a playwright, TV and film screenwriter, novelist and short story writer. He is best known for writing the 1999 iconic Kiwi film Scarfies, which, while low‐budget, went on to become the country’s sixth highest‐grossing film. He published his first novel, Two Little Boys in 2008, which he adapted into a film in 2012. His most recent novel is Demolition of the Century, launched in 2013. He also wrote New Fans, the tenth episode of the comedy series Flight of the Conchords. Sarkies says “Not many writers get the opportunity to focus exclusively on their writing for such a long time. Taking up the fellowship at the Sargeson Centre provides not only a place to work but also financial support, both greatly appreciated by any writer.” The Sargeson Fellowship was founded in 1987 and has been instrumental in many other top Kiwi writers’ careers. Janet Frame was the first Sargeson fellow, and other fellows include Kevin Ireland, Gregory O'Brien, Alan Duff, Elspeth Sandys, Michael King, Marilyn Duckworth, Kapka Kassabova, Shonagh Koea, Catherine Chidgey, Charlotte Grimshaw, Toa Fraser, Fiona Samuels, Emily Perkins, Paula Morris, Steve Braunias, Sonja Yelich and Mark Broatch. About the Frank Sargeson Trust The Frank Sargeson Trust was formed in 1983 by Dame Christine Cole Catley, Frank Sargeson's heir and executor. The Trust aims to continue Sargeson's lifelong generosity to writers through providing residential fellowships while preserving his house in Takapuna, Auckland, as New Zealand's first literary museum. The first fellowship was awarded to Janet Frame in 1987. About Grimshaw & Co Grimshaw & Co is a litigation and dispute resolution practice, best known for representing clients affected by leaky homes and leaking buildings. It also acts for the victims of the Christchurch earthquakes in claims against insurance companies. Established in 2005, Grimshaw & Co have offices in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Studienblatt: Anglistik und Amerikanistik Betreuerin: Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Astrid Fellner [i] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “‘[New Zealand] is not quite the moon, but after the moon it is the farthest place in the world,’” said Sir Karl Popper (as quoted in KING 2003: 415), Austrian-New Zea- land-British philosopher; and ‘off the edge of the world’ in unlikely Kawakawa is where Friedensreich Hundertwasser built a colourful public toilet after having abandoned Austria for the sheep-crowded archipelago in the South Pacific. Little did I know about New Zealand as a country, as a people, as a nation and – above all – about how to pen a doctoral dissertation when I set out on this scien- tific journey a little while ago. At a very early stage of my doctoral endeavours, I knew my inquisitiveness could not be satisfied with the holdings at the University of Vienna, Austria, a country on the opposite side of the earth of the country’s lit- erature that I had chosen as subject of investigation. I was lucky enough to call Aotearoa/New Zealand my home for six months in 2009 – a sojourn that proved most fecund to my work, provided me with an abundance of motivation, and left me awe-inspired by the country’s inhabitants – scholars, fishermen, tattooists – its natural beauty and its rich and colourful culture. I was able to spend most of my time in the immense libraries of New Zealand’s universities and in conversation with scholars and authors who so very openly supported my work and provided answers where clarity had yet been missing.

  • Too Many Cooks?
    Too many Cooks? Ngā mihi Ngāti Whātua Kaiwhakahaere Ringawera Michael King BWB Friends and family here Can we blame Cook for everything that followed? Is it the fault of the Englishman who met his early end in Kealakekua Bay in 1779 that I, because I am Māori, am statistically likely to meet an early end in 21st century New Zealand? I am neither a biographer of Captain James Cook nor an historian of eighteenth century European people going places on boats. This lecture is not, in fact, a talk about Cook himself at all. Actually, that’s the whole point of the talk. And, at the same time, I am not standing here as Reliable Native Informant ready to provide you with a titillating sense of connection with pre- contact or other-side-of-the-story authentic something something. Today I am speaking as an Indigenous scholar whose research and teaching expertise brings me - probably more than I like, if I’m honest - to the necessity of engaging with Cook and his legacy. Whether I’m teaching in English, Indigenous Studies, or Pacific Studies, I find myself being unable to avoid talking about Cook. And, to take a step back from the disciplines in which I work, when you teach anything at a New Zealand university surely you have a duty (and opportunity) to think about the context in which you’re teaching. That context, for me, includes things like: • how the legislation that both defines and brings into being a NZ university is passed by a parliament whose right to pass legislation can be traced in a single thread back to the Endeavour… • the logic

Described by Fiona Kidman as a ‘ravishing, immersing read’, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a ‘wild ride’ through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield’s childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield’s old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research – into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings – lead him (and us) to reevaluate long- held conclusions about the writer’s shaping years.
