  • Study Guide for Once Were Warriors (1994) Facts 1994, New Zealand
    Study Guide for Once Were Warriors (1994) Facts 1994, New Zealand, 90 mins Director Lee Tamahori Producer Robin Scholes Director of Photography Stuart Dryburgh Summary A raw, uncompromising working-class drama, Once were Warriors is compelling film-making. This extremely violent, yet deeply moving tale of the Hekes, an alienated Maori family living in an urban New Zealand wasteland, is as powerful as it is disturbing. The film’s tense, gritty, hard-edged, feel perfectly matches the family’s disintegration under the burdens of domestic violence, alcohol abuse, unemployment and poverty. Jake (“the Muss” – for muscle), the father of the family, has an extremely volatile personality and likes to prove his machismo with his fists. Often bearing the brutal brunt of this is Beth, his wife of eighteen years, who, despite their blighted relationship, still loves him. Beth comes from a noble Maori lineage, but abandoned her tribe for her love of Jake, a descendant of intertribal slavery. Although this practice was abandoned long before Jake was even born, its slur has left in him a bitter rejection of his Maori heritage. Unvalidated also in mainstream, pakeha (white) culture, Jake is a man with a chip on both shoulders – angry, confused and unanchored. Unsurprisingly, the couple’s five children are variously emotionally damaged. Nig, the oldest, despises his father and seeks a substitute family in a Maori street gang, the violence of whose initiation rituals, ironically, match anything Jake can dish out. Second son, Boogie, is involved in petty street crime, and is remanded into Social Welfare custody (placed in protective care) when Beth is unable to show up to speak on his behalf at a court appearance, due to the severe beating Jake had given her the previous night.

  • 2010 Katherine Mansfield Birthplace Public Lecture Series: a Question of Class in New Zealand
    2010 Katherine Mansfield Birthplace Public Lecture Series: A Question of Class in New Zealand ‘Downhill’: class demotion in 20th century NZ life and literature Speaker: Dr Malcolm McKinnon Historian, author, editor of the New Zealand Historical Atlas, theme editor for Te Ara. Introduction In September 1911 a 36-year old man died, of a weakened heart, in his father’s house in Wellington. He had contracted rheumatic fever as an 18 year old and had never fully recovered. Despite that he’d married, fathered sons, travelled extensively in Europe with his wife and parents, in part to seek medical treatment, and at the time of his death was manager of the National Insurance Company branch office in Perth, Western Australia. His widow and their boys had to return to Wellington to live; they had no relatives in Perth. Moreover the father-in-law was well enough off to be able to sustain the household costs of his daughter-in-law, and her five, soon to be six, children – for she was expecting another child, duly born the following year. 25 years on. The father-in-law dies, leaving an estate of £70,000 – about 6 million dollars in 2010 terms. Is the widow, the daughter-in-law, well off and comfortably situated? No. She is living in a ‘back of beyond’ Taranaki township, running a fruiterer business. She is estranged from her father-in-law, and has had little or no contact with her children of 1912 since 1913, but has another son and daughter, now near adulthood. She receives nothing from her erstwhile father-in-law’s estate, probably never received the widow’s pension, and dies 13 years later in the same reduced circumstances that had been her lot since 1913.

Fine Arts Department of fine Arts, University of Granada (España) [email protected] Resumen La didáctica de la literatura es un área de reciente creación. Sus contenidos se han ido adaptando a los diferentes contextos lingüísticos en los que se desarrolla. No obstante, aún quedan muchas oportunidades para desarrollar sus contenidos. El estudio de las literaturas postcoloniales, así como la relación entre la literatura y el arte ofrecen oportunidades para desarrollar la investigación en la didáctica de la literatura. En este artículo se hace una propuesta al respecto desde el estudio de la obra de Allan Duff desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar. Palabras clave: Didáctica de la literatura; literatura postcolonial; Allan Duff; Bellas Artes. Abstract The teaching of literature is an area of recent creation. Its contents have been adapting to different linguistic contexts in which it operates. However, there are still many opportunities to develop their content. The study of postcolonial literatures, and the relationship between literature and the arts provide opportunities to develop research in the teaching of literature. In this paper, a proposal is made in this area since the study of the work of Allan Duff from a multidisciplinary perspective. Key words: Teaching literature; postcolonial literature; Allan Duff; Fine Arts. 1. INTRODUCTION On the back cover of Once Were Warriors, Alan Duff’s 1990 novel is described as “a raw and powerful story in which everyone is a victim.” That is not strictly true of course, some of the characters, notably the Pakeha family, are not victims.

  • Ngā Kai Para I Te Kahikātoa: Māori Filmmaking, Forging a Path
    Ngā Kai Para i te Kahikātoa: Māori Filmmaking, Forging a Path By Angela Moewaka Barnes A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Film, Television and Media Studies) The University of Auckland, 2011 Abstract This thesis examines and analyses Māori filmmaking in Aotearoa/New Zealand and, in particular, dramatic feature films with reference to an indigenous global context. This thesis is grounded in Kaupapa Māori theory, a theory that is founded in Māori epistemological and metaphysical traditions. Film is an important part of identity formation and contributes to how we see ourselves as Māori. It shapes others’ perceptions of us locally and globally. There is a struggling but growing movement in the making of Māori dramatic and documentary films, which began in the late 1970s and 1980s. However, very few Māori driven and directed dramatic feature films have been made. Therefore, Māori pioneer filmmakers Barry Barclay (Ngati 1987), Merata Mita (Mauri 1988) and Don Selwyn (Te Tangata Whai Rawa o Wēniti - Māori Merchant of Venice 2002) are significant contributors to our cinematic history. Their films offer us unique and transformative cinematic representations of Māori in the form of dramatic feature films. Little research has been conducted on the conditions of Māori filmmaking, the processes and environments and how these may create barriers or encourage Māori filmmaking aspirations. In addition, only a small body of work exists that examines Māori film and filmmaking that is grounded in Kaupapa Māori theory. This study gives voice to our history and tells part of the story of pioneers in Māori film.
