    Fighting Words in the Antipodes Cherie Lacey, Michael P. Kelly, Annemarie Jutel Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, Volume 63, Number 4, Autumn 2020, pp. 669-682 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/775635 [ Access provided at 19 Dec 2020 02:55 GMT from Victoria University of Wellington ] Fighting Words in the Antipodes Cherie Lacey,* Michael P. Kelly,† and Annemarie Jutel‡ ABSTRACT In this commentary, written in two bursts—the first completed in April 2020, and the second at the end of July—we explore how media metaphors of COVID-19 constitute the pandemic in Australia and New Zealand. We argue that the media’s rhetorical strategies play an important role not only in describing the illness, but in influencing and shaping individual and collective responses to the pandemic, with significant consequences for mental health and well-being in the context of crisis. We align this commentary with the tenets of the sociology of diagnosis, which argue that even though there are material realities of disease, their social form and conse- quence cannot be separated from the tangible nature of illness and its management. We also lean on Derrida’s approach to metaphor, which underlines how even observable viral entities such as COVID-19 are simultaneously material, abstract, and in flux. We describe the metaphors used by local media to describe the pandemic—including combat, bush fires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters—and we explore how and why these metaphors construct the pandemic locally and farther afield. *School of English, Film, Theatre, Media Studies, and Art History, Te Herenga Waka/Victoria Uni- versity of Wellington, New Zealand.

    Toyota's Willing Stooges: the Trend of Narcissism in Us

    New York Journal of Sociology, 2008, Vol. 1, pp. 92-117 NY JS TOYOTA’S WILLING STOOGES: THE TREND OF NARCISSISM IN US SOCIETY * George Lundskow Grand Valley State University This paper explores the exaltation that Toyota buyers grant the corporation, beyond simply commitment to their cars as desirable product. Although once superior in reliability, mile- age, and other measurable factors in the 1980s, American and European manufacturers have matched or exceeded Toyota in these areas. Toyota devotees still declare these areas as important, but Toyota’s following also includes a type of devotion beyond measurable quality and mileage issues. As a company, Toyota enjoys a type of uncritical acceptance that it exploits with marketing techniques that cross into the realm of propaganda. The pa- per identifies these techniques, but also argues that such techniques only succeed among a willingly submissive and willfully uncritical, i.e. emotionally devoted following premised on narcissistic insecurity and indulgence. The paper finishes with broader conclusions about contemporary American culture, specifically the search for stability and meaning. In this way, Toyota serves as only one example of a larger trend in US society. * Direct all correspondence to George Lundskow, Department of Sociology, 2170 AuSable Hall, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401 or via e-mail: [email protected] © 2008 George Lundskow.

Far beyond the supposedly unscrupulous greed of the Detroit Three—GM, Ford, and Chrysler—Toyota voluntarily sacrifices profit for consumer satisfaction and the environment.

  • Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852

    Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852

    1 2: Immigration during the Crown Colony period, 1840-1852 Context In 1840 New Zealand became, formally, a part of the British Empire. The small and irregular inflow of British immigrants from the Australian Colonies – the ‘Old New Zealanders’ of the mission stations, whaling stations, timber depots, trader settlements, and small pastoral and agricultural outposts, mostly scattered along the coasts - abruptly gave way to the first of a number of waves of immigrants which flowed in from 1840.1 At least three streams arrived during the period 1840-1852, although ‘Old New Zealanders’ continued to arrive in small numbers during the 1840s. The first consisted of the government officials, merchants, pastoralists, and other independent arrivals, the second of the ‘colonists’ (or land purchasers) and the ‘emigrants’ (or assisted arrivals) of the New Zealand Company and its affiliates, and the third of the imperial soldiers (and some sailors) who began arriving in 1845. New Zealand’s European population grew rapidly, marked by the establishment of urban communities, the colonial capital of Auckland (1840), and the Company settlements of Wellington (1840), Petre (Wanganui, 1840), New Plymouth (1841), Nelson (1842), Otago (1848), and Canterbury (1850). Into Auckland flowed most of the independent and military streams, and into the company settlements those arriving directly from the United Kingdom. Thus A.S.Thomson observed that ‘The northern [Auckland] settlers were chiefly derived from Australia; those in the south from Great Britain. The former,’ he added, ‘were distinguished for colonial wisdom; the latter for education and good home connections …’2 Annexation occurred at a time when emigration from the United Kingdom was rising.

    'My Piece of Land at Taieri'

    New Zealand Journal of History, 41, 1 (2007) ‘My Piece of Land at Taieri’ BOUNDARY FORMATION AND CONTESTATION AT THE TAIERI NATIVE RESERVE, 1844–1868 OVER THE PAST DECADE an emphasis on multiplicity and diversity has characterized historical scholarship on colonialism, giving rise to a range of theories about identity and racial ambiguity, and challenging past scholarship on racial politics and dynamics in colonial societies. Influenced by questions of indigenous agency, scholars have recast the colonial encounter as dialectical in nature, involving interactions that were contested and negotiated. This challenge to understandings of the colonial past has centred on approaches that emphasize the liminal and porous nature of borders, boundaries, edges, margins, frontiers, spaces and zones. Because of its association with ambiguity and fluidity, the idea of hybridity has been of particular importance to scholars interested in disrupting legal and economic spaces through a cultural approach. Originating in the biological sciences to refer to the cross-breeding of two different species or varieties of plants or animals, then extrapolated to refer to the crossing of the ‘races’, the term has been taken up by scholars in a range of disciplines to refer to the fluid movement of people across territory and between cultures, the negotiation of ‘blood’ and identity, as well as the crossing of borders and boundaries, both physical and cultural.1 Influenced by such approaches this article is concerned with the formation of physical boundaries, specifically
