The child is a benign and regenerative figure in the earlier works in this period, with its magical qualities used to heighten its role in a redemptive progression towards the reform of social structures depicted as damaging of cultural and environmental heritage. Later in the period the regenerative possibilities offered by the child diminish, as the relationship between the individual child and adult society diversifies. Where a clear adult/child dichotomy in the early works renders the child as essentially positive and life-giving, the later, more complex field renders the child as less symbolically powerful, more individually threatening and less physically and characteristically distinct from the adult. The novels examined are Keri Hulme’s the bone people, Patricia Grace’s Potiki, Cousins and Baby No Eyes, Witi Ihimaera’s The Whale Rider, The Matriarch and The Dream Swimmer, Rachel McAlpine’s The Limits of Green, Fiona Farrell’s The Skinny Louie Book, Elizabeth Knox’s Treasure, Sue Reidy’s The Visitation, John Cranna’s Arena, Anne Kennedy’s A Boy and His Uncle, Anthony McCarten’s Spinners and Peter Hawes’s A Dream of Nikau Jam. The novels are considered within the context of the history of the child character in literature, and particularly of the thematic traditions surrounding child characters throughout twentieth century New Zealand literature. The simultaneous vitality and vulnerability of the child figure, and the transcendent qualities of the magical child, are found to be critical to its construction. These qualities are examined through the Crawford 9 novels’ representations of filiation, nationhood and in the persistent construction of a symbolic relationship between the magical child and various manifestations of a metaphysical void. Crawford 10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many family members and friends have supported me during the creation of this work and I offer each of them my deepest thanks. In particular I would like to thank those who have offered in-house support: my parents, as well as Lisa Oxman, Lucy Alexander, Bill Pitt and Nic Brown. Special thanks are also due to Dr John Hawke for his patience, good humour and critical intelligence. I am very grateful to the University of Wollongong for the financial support of a University Postgraduate Award, without which this work would not have been possible. Crawford 11 1: Introduction 1.1 Argument The premise of this thesis is that the magical child has been a major figure in recent New Zealand novels for adults, and that the use of this character may be examined to reveal a developing range of expressions of personal and cultural identity. Fifteen New Zealand novels, published between 1983 and 2000, are studied; each features a child or children distinguished by a supernatural quality or ability. The prominence of these figures suggests that they have an archetypal resonance in the national literature, representing those aspects of a collective identity that may be embodied in the simultaneous fragility and vitality of the child, and in the transcendent qualities of the magical child. As their portrayals shift between idealism and ominous strangeness, so too do the readings of cultural circumstance that they collectively represent. There is a remarkable consistency both to the characteristics ascribed to the children of these books, and to the themes that surround them. Very few grow up in the care of both biological parents, and often there are several dislocations of parentage and genealogy in the child’s history. At times they suffer physical trauma or disability, and many also suffer significant emotional trauma. They are loners, rarely depicted in school settings; some are aphasic. Their limitations in the mundane world are countered by each child’s possession of qualities or abilities that expand the boundaries of reality itself. Some are distinguished by Crawford 12 magical talents; they read minds, heal, access magical realms or have superhuman physical prowess. Some are magical in their origins; their conception or gestation evades realist explanation. Others exist entirely outside the bounds of the physical world. In each case, the child is connected to the numinous in such a way that it is an essential aspect of their identity. The narrative utility of the child’s magical associations is not consistent throughout these books, and it is in this area that distinct patterns are discernable within the period discussed. There appears to be a loose chronological basis to these patterns; broadly speaking, those novels published earlier in the seventeen years covered by this thesis are more likely to employ their child characters in redemptive roles, and to construe their sufferings as sacrificial. The magical characteristics or experiences of these children are presented as real, often integrated without question into an otherwise familiar reality. These children are written in opposition to figures and institutions of damaging and restrictive authority; in that opposition, they represent forces of individualism, creativity, and personal and cultural survival. Books written later in the period are more likely to question the redemptive investment made in the child character, and the assumption of their healing or even benevolent tendencies. The appearance of the child’s magic may be questioned, as is the assumption of childhood vulnerability. The potential for malevolence is admitted into the construction of the child figure. Crawford 13 Throughout these books, the children are frequently depicted in close connection to a void- like entity, present in the texts either as a metaphysical reality or a prominent symbol, to the degree that it becomes a defining feature of the thematics that these children invoke. Consideration of the relationship between the child and the notion of a void is thus an organising principle of this thesis, as this relationship reveals key aspects of the child’s magical nature and its function in these narratives. As might be expected for any fifteen novels written by different authors within two decades, a logical development of themes does not occur in strict accordance with the chronology of publication.

This thesis focuses on the work of five playwrights: Bruce Mason, James K. Baxter, Mervyn Thompson, Renee and Robert Lord, all of whom have set out to identify such a 'voice' and in so doing have brought about a metamorphosis in the nature of New Zealand drama.

  • “I Thought It Was a Narrow Shave”
    1 “I Thought it Was a Narrow Shave” A Revised Analysis of the Iceberg Encounter by Samuel Halpern At 10:00pm, ship’s time, Sunday night, April 14th 1912, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee took their watch up in the crow’s nest, replacing lookouts George Symons and Archie Jewell. Before Symons and Jewell left the nest, they told Fleet and Lee to keep a sharp lookout for ice and growlers in particular, repeating the orders they received from the bridge earlier that night. According to Reginald Lee, it was about “nine or ten minutes” after seven bells were struck that a dark mass was spotted out on the water ahead of the ship.1 When asked how far ahead of the vessel was the iceberg, Lee responded by saying, “It might have been half a mile or more; it might have been less; I could not give you the distance in that peculiar light.” When that dark mass was finally identified, Frederick Fleet was quick to react. He said to Lee, “There is ice ahead,” and immediately reached up and grabbed the lanyard of the lookout bell above his head and struck it three times to signal the officer on the bridge below that an object was sighted ahead. He then left his place on the port side of the nest and went behind Lee on the starboard side of the nest to get to the loud- speaking telephone that connected the crow’s nest with a loud-speaking phone in the wheelhouse. As Fleet would later recall, “I asked them were they there, and they said yes.” They then asked, “What did you see?” to which Fleet replied, “Iceberg right ahead.” They then followed with, “Thank you.” The person that answered the phone in the wheelhouse was Sixth Officer James Moody.

    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
