The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.
  • An Historical Survey of the Establishment of an Orchestral Tradition in Christchurch to 1939

    An Historical Survey of the Establishment of an Orchestral Tradition in Christchurch to 1939

    AN HISTORICAL SURVEY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION IN CHRISTCHURCH TO 1939 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the University of Canterbury by Philip Jane University of Canterbury 2009 ii Abstract This dissertation is the first study devoted solely to the history of an orchestral tradition in Christchurch. Within a timeframe stretching from the beginning of the local settlement to the establishment of the first “national” orchestra in 1939, it provides detailed portrayals of all facets of amateur and professional orchestral activity. This includes the histories of all orchestral bodies, their membership, a chronology of concerts, repertoire, programme structure and critical reception. This dissertation explains the advance of orchestral tradition that is at times tentative and at times bold, until it is securely entrenched as a mainstream musical activity in Christchurch. A preliminary narration, which begins in 1857, ends in 1906 with the International Exhibition. This is then discussed as a landmark event for orchestral music in Christchurch. A series of case studies for the period of 1908 to 1939, covers each of the five major orchestral groups that flourished in this period. The case studies also include the footprints of development, the “incidental” music performed by the cinema orchestras, and the “studio only” performances of many broadcasting groups. The role played by minor orchestral groups as an “alternative” music culture is included, along with the impact of orchestras associated with visiting opera companies. The final section is a detailed analysis of the repertoire and programme construction, and a discussion of the people who played an influential role in the development of an orchestral tradition.

A CITY FOR ALL SEASONS A CASE STUDY OF URBAN PLACE PROMOTION by Andrea Schollmann Promoting cities as tourism de~tinations is seen as a way to enable growth. This promotion involves the projection of selective imagery to specific target groups and often includes the physical reshaping of places to fit a promotable image. Attempts to understand these processes have often focused on one of two approaches: a global perspective stressing the consumptive nature of the tourist gaze and the resultant commodification of place at the local level; and a local perspective emphasising difference and uniqueness. My thesis outlines an investigation into the promotion of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand.

    Promotion for the 2019 National Competitions of the NZ Federation of Amateur Winemakers and Brewers Inc More than 50 reasons why you should come to Christchurch for the Nationals in October 2019 1 Museum. Canterbury Museum is housed in a splendid pseudo-gothic structure build of grey basalt with rhyolite (and trachyte) facings quarried from local quarries, and with animal faces carved in Oamaru stone. Named in honour of the building’s original architect – Benjamin Mountfort - the Mountfort gallery is supported by heart kauri columns. Originally housed in the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings and first opened to the public in 1867 under the curatorship of Dr.Julius von Haast, the collection soon moved in 1870 to the new purpose-built building. World-renown for its natural and human history collections, it houses some extraordinary collections as well as holding regular displays from other places. Google Canterbury Museum to find the website. 2 Art Gallery. The new Christchurch Art Gallery –Te Puna Waiwhetu - was opened in 2003, before the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. It is a spectacular glass fronted building which is a work of art in itself. The building was used as Civil Defence headquarters for Christchurch following the 2010 earthquake, and again after the February 2011 earthquake. The gallery was designed to deal with seismic events. The gallery's foundation, a concrete raft slab that sits on the surface of the ground, evenly distributes earthquake forces. However, it sustained some damage in the 2011 earthquake. The gallery did not reopen until 19 December 2015 due to the need for extensive refurbishments and improvements.

    Our Story – Wesley Church Fitzgerald Ave. Christchurch by W.A.Chambers 1966 Our Story – Wesley Church Fitzgerald Ave. Christchurch by W.A.Chambers 1966 Our Story Wesley Methodist Church Fitzgerald Avenue, Christchurch 1866 - 1966 Contents Foreword A Conducted Tour of Holy Ground Travail 1866-1889 Young, Strong, and Free, 1890-1912 Head of the Family, 1913-1963 Keyhole Glimpses Devoted Families Visiting the Poor at Christmas, 1906 Bible Class, 1912 Rider of the Black Horse, 1918 The Source of all Evil, 1915 Scouting Turning Tide Some Church Officers Ministers Deaconesses Organists and Choirmasters Sunday School Superintendents and Secretaries Ladies' Guild Presidents and Secretaries. Our Story – Wesley Church Fitzgerald Ave. Christchurch by W.A.Chambers 1966 FOREWORD The purpose of this little book is to help old members of Wesley Church to recall the cherished days of the past and to introduce new members and friends to the goodly heritage which they have received from those who have gone before them. The book does not set out to be an official history, duly audited and found correct; rather its aim is more modest. To give a read-able outline of 100 years of congregational life, and to highlight some of the 'good times', is all it seeks to achieve. Many people, ministers included, who have laboured faithfully at Wesley may not be mentioned. This is no mark of disrespect. There are some big gaps in the records, which up to the time of publication have not been filled. It may be that lack of records has led to such an omission.
