  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 4 September 2007 Poetry at Auckland University Press Elizabeth Caffin Weathers on this shore want sorts of words. (Kendrick Smithyman, ‘Site’) Auckland University Press might never have been a publisher of poetry were it not for Kendrick Smithyman. It was his decision. As Dennis McEldowney recalls, a letter from Smithyman on 31 March 1967 offering the manuscript of Flying to Palmerston, pointed out that ‘it is to the university presses the responsibility is falling for publishing poetry. Pigheaded and inclined to the parish pump, I would rather have it appear in New Zealand if it appears anywhere’.1 Dennis, who became Editor of University Publications in 1966 and in the next two decades created a small but perfectly formed university press, claimed he lacked confidence in judging poetry. But Kendrick and C. K. Stead, poets and academics both, became his advisors and he very quickly established an impressive list. At its core were the great New Zealand modernist poets. Dennis published five books by Smithyman, three by Stead and three by Curnow starting with the marvellous An Incorrigible Music in 1979.2 Curnow and Smithyman were not young and had published extensively elsewhere but most would agree that their greatest work was written in their later years; and AUP published it. Soon a further group of established poets was added: three books by Elizabeth Smither, one by Albert Wendt, one by Kevin Ireland. And then a new generation, the exuberant poets of the 1960s and 1970s such as Ian Wedde (four books), Bill Manhire, Bob Orr, Keri Hulme, Graham Lindsay, Michael Harlow.

  • Fictional Representations of Māori Women's Identities in Witi Ihimaera's
    56 ‘The auntie’s story’: Fictional representations of Māori women’s identities in Witi Ihimaera’s The uncle’s story (2000) from an intersectional perspective SVENJA BINGEL, VERA KRUTZ, KATHARINA LUH and ANNEKI MÜETZE Abstract While literary analysis of Witi Ihimaera’s The uncle’s story (2005 [2000]) has predominantly focused on the novel’s male, homosexual protagonists Sam and Michael, this article intends to put centre stage the minor, but nonetheless innovative, and highly diverse female characters of Auntie Pat, Roimata and Amiria. The complex negotiations of modern and traditional attitudes, sexualities and ethnicities, Māori heritage and Pākehā ideologies that play out with regard to these fictionalpersonae will be taken into consideration, hence opening up a scholarly space and a potential fictional point of reference for the heterogeneity of Māori women’s life worlds in contempo- rary Aotearoa New Zealand. Implementing the rather novel research paradigm of intersectionality in literary and cultural theory and combining it with New Zealand-specific cultural concepts, this paper aims at spiralling in and out of the complexities and intricacies of fictional representations of Māori women’s identities – focusing thus, on the auntie’s story in The uncle’s story. Keywords Intersectionality, Māori literature and culture, Witi Ihimaera, spiral time, identity, femininity, homo- and hetero- sexuality, ethnicity, takatāpui, generation, family/whānau. ‘Intersecting identities’ – Spiralling in and out of Māori women’s identities Over the course of the last decades, practitioners of literary and cultural studies have continu- ously pointed to the importance and usefulness of an enhanced analytical complexity by means of ‘intersecting’ or ‘interweaving’ identities.

  • New Zealand and Pacific Literatures in Spanish Translation
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Journal Systems at the Victoria University of Wellington Library Reading (in) the Antipodes: New Zealand and Pacific Literatures in Spanish Translation PALOMA FRESNO-CALLEJA Abstract This article considers the Spanish translations of New Zealand and Pacific authors and explores the circumstances that have determined their arrival into the Spanish market as well as the different editorial and marketing choices employed to present these works to a Spanish readership. It considers the scarcity of canonical authors, the branding of Maori and other “ethnic” voices, the influence of film adaptations and literary prizes in the translation market, and the construction of the “New Zealand exotic” in works written by non-New Zealand authors which, in the absence of more translations from Spain’s literary Antipodes, have dominated the Spanish market in recent years. Introduction In October 2012, New Zealand was chosen as guest of honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest and most prominent event of this type. The motto of the New Zealand delegation was: “He moemoea he ohorere / While you were sleeping,” an ingenious allusion to the geographical distance between Europe and its Antipodes, but also a reminder of the country’s literary potential, which Europeans were invited to wake up to. The choice of New Zealand as a guest of honour reflected the enormous interest of German readers for its literature and culture, summarized in Norman Franke’s remark that “Germans are crazy about all things Kiwi.”1 As Franke points out, more New Zealand books have been translated into German than into any other European language, and the impact of the fair resulted in an immediate increase of sales and a thirst for new titles.2 Spanish newspapers reported the event with curiosity but on a slightly skeptical note.
