  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

    The London Journal of Edward Jerningham Wakefield 1845-46

    REVIEWS 203 The London Journal of Edward Jerningham Wakefield 1845-46. Edited by Joan Stevens. Alexander Turnbull Library and Victoria University of Wellington, 1972. xv, 192 pp. N.Z. price: $6.00. LIKE HIS father, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Jerningham Wakefield had energy, ambition, the ability to mesmerise, and a fluent pen. With his father, he immersed himself in the politics of colonisation and of colonies them- selves, but to even less personal advancement. For Jerningham Wakefield managed his money, thirst and sexual energy imprudently enough to thwart his more public ambitions. He achieved little but a modest share in the life-work of another man: his father. Yet our historical sources would be the poorer without his lively Adven- ture in New Zealand, first published in 1845, soon after his return to Eng- land. That personal story is unexpectedly continued in a journal recently discovered, lodged in the Alexander Turnbull Library, and now published for the first time. The Journal, written mainly in London in 1845 and 1846, is compressed, often cryptic, and comparatively short. Its contents will re- quire few historians to revise their conclusions about either the Wakefields or the politics of colonisation. Nevertheless it contains considerable circum- stantial detail of a particular stage in the evolution of the Otago and Can- terbury schemes of settlement, and also a few interesting scraps of informa- tion about the New Zealand Company's dealings with the Whig and Tory politicians of the day. The change of government in 1846 brought hope to most protagonists of colonisation, but immediate disappointment to the Wakefields.

    Labourers' Letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and Pedagogies of Appropriation

    Labourers' letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and pedagogies of appropriation. Sue Middleton School of Education, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand School of Education University of Waikato Private Bag 3105, Waikato Mail Centre Hamilton 3240 New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the British Educational Research Association Annual Conference, University of Manchester, 2-5 September 2009 Henri Lefebvre suggested that social researchers engage in „the concrete analysis of rhythms‟ in order to reveal the „pedagogy of appropriation (the appropriation of the body, as of spatial practice)‟. Lefebvre‟s spatial analysis has influenced educational researchers, while the idea of „pedagogy‟ has travelled beyond education. This interdisciplinary paper combines Lefebvre‟s analytical trilogy of perceived, conceived and lived spaces with Bernstein‟s „pedagogical device‟ in an interrogation of historical documents. It engages in a „rhythm analysis‟ of the New Zealand Company‟s „pedagogical appropriation‟ of a group of agricultural labourers into its „systematic colonisation scheme‟. The temporal-spatial rhythms of the labourers‟ lives are accessible in nine surviving letters they wrote in Wellington and sent to Surrey between 1841-1844. By revealing how their bodies were „traversed by rhythms rather as the „ether‟ is traversed by waves,‟ we understand how bodies, social space and the self are mutually constitutive and constituted. Keywords: history; Lefebvre; letters/literacy; colonisation Education‟s fragmented fields of inquiry retain some coherence in their common orientation around the „pedagogical.‟ As borders between human sciences became increasingly porous, the idea of „the pedagogical‟ flowed beyond education into disciplines such as geography.

  • The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

    James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?

    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

    Newsletter 115 – June 2021

    U3A WELLINGTON CITY NEWSLETTER No. 115 June 2021 U3A Wellington City, PO Box 24529, Manners Street, Wellington, 6142 www.u3awellingtoncity.org.nz PRESIDENT’S LETTER Welcome to our new members and continuing members. We now have 1,207 members but we still have room for more at the Embassy lectures and in some Special Interest Groups. Feel free to hand out our U3A business card – available at the Embassy foyer scanning desk - to anyone you think may be interested. Lectures: Our physical lecture programme was interrupted for just one week in March when we returned to Level 2 Covid-19 restrictions. The Zoom application again proved useful in delivering the lectures virtually. The NZ International Film Festival which was scheduled from 29 July to 15 August has been postponed to November, thereby making the Embassy available for four additional lectures which will be held in the first two weeks of August. This increases our total lectures to 58 for the year – a record. Congratulations and thanks to our Programmers. Please contact us if you know of an interesting speaker with an engaging topic. Special Interest Groups Coordinator, Linda Beckett, has met with most of the leaders of the 18 groups and you will see in her report the wide variety on offer. Linda is always interested to hear of your special interest and can assist you to set up a group. Front of Desk Volunteers: we are pleased that our new computer and upgrading of the scanning application has made life easier for volunteers who report a much speedier and more reliable process.

DERBYSHIRE PARISH REGISTERS, XII. phili.imork's parish register series. vol. ccvi. (pekbvskire, vol. xil). One hundred and fifty printed. : Derbyshire Parish Registers General Editor : THOS. M. BLAGG, F.S.A. VOL. XII. Edited by W. BRAYLESFORD BUNTING AND Ll. LLOYD SIMPSON. ft c^ t fj ILonlron Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. 1914. PREFACE. So many parishes in S.E. Derbyshire have been dealt with in this Series that it was hoped and intended that the present volume would be devoted entirely to the High Peak district and would contain a compact group of adjacent parishes, an arrangement which always brings out in a peculiar degree the value of this method of printing the complete Marriage Registers of a whole district. Unfortunately it was not found possible to obtain sufficient MS. from the High Peak without delaying indefinitely the issue of the volume, already overdue. The latter third of the book, therefore, has been filled with the important Register of Repton, the MS. of which had been ready for some time. The Repton abstracts were made by Mr. Simpson and Mr. E. B. Smith ; those of Chapel-en-le-Frith, which contain so many entries of old-established Peak families as to be of exceptional interest to genealogists, were done by of Fairfield Mr. W. Braylesford Bunting ,; and those and Buxton are kindly supplied by Mr. John Brandreth and Mr.
