  • The Discursive Construction of Cultural Diversity by the Flag Consideration Panel
    Flagging diversity: The discursive construction of cultural diversity by the Flag Consideration Panel Taylor Annabell, Auckland University of Technology, [email protected] Angelique Nairn, Auckland University of Technology, [email protected] Abstract The Flag Consideration Project invited New Zealanders to change the New Zealand flag, and in doing so provided an opportunity for public discussion about what it means to belong to a nation. This article examines the contemporary conceptualisations of New Zealand offered in the 5 Alternatives text that accompanied the first flag consideration referendum. Given the increasing levels of cultural diversity and the historical difficulty faced in ensuring that multiple cultures contribute to the construction of New Zealand, the analysis focuses on constructions of cultural diversity. We used Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis to consider ideologies of nationhood prevalent in the text; in particular, we were interested in insights pertaining to bicultural and multicultural constructions of New Zealand. As it happens, the attempts made by the Flag Participation Panel to construct cultural diversity through asserting that New Zealand is inclusive and multicultural, and by referring to Māori culture as well as Chinese. On a surface level, it appears that the constructions address the limitations attached to the current flag, and specifically its Pākehā symbolism. However, the language used by the Panel indicates a continued reliance on a Pākehā perspective of New Zealand and the positioning of Māori as outside the mainstream. Therefore, although the text may have attempted to emphasise commonality and unity regardless of cultural affiliations, it inevitably tokenises cultural difference and offers a seemingly shallow notion of New Zealand as inclusive.

  • NME: Arctic Monkeys – Top 10 Tracks So Far It's Been Just Over 12 Years
    NME: Arctic monkeys – top 10 tracks so far It’s been just over 12 years now since Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys burst onto the scene with their instantly popular, record breaking debut album, ‘Whatever people say I am, that’s what I’m not’, thanks to shrewd self-management and incredible musical abilities. The band’s twitter account recently teased fans with a short video showing dates of multiple shows from their comeback tour, starting in early June, the big news that they were expecting to have an album out before the start of the tour. Given that it’s their first album to come out in nearly four years, we decided to celebrate the band’s previous five albums by compiling a list of the band’s top 10 greatest tracks so far – a very hard task, might I add. 10 – Brianstorm Considering this track is from the funkier, less heavy second album, this is probably one of, if not the, fastest songs that the band have ever produced. The thumping beat and lightning-quick opening riff come together with Alex Turner’s fantastically aggressive vocals to create a great song that feels slightly out of place on an album as upbeat as ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, the home to other tracks coming up on this list. 9 – 505 This song’s keyboard opening is actually the same opening to the ‘Good, the bad and the ugly’ theme. A calming tune that could soothe any restless sleeper is later replaced when both Jamie cook and Alex Turner’ Fenders kick in, from which point any listener can identify that this track is absolutely incredible.

  • The Ten Most Asked Questions About the New Zealand Flag
    THE TEN MOST ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW ZEALAND FLAG REFERENDUM PROCESS Palmerston North Rotary Club November 2nd 2015 Malcolm Mulholland Massey University New Zealand Flag Consideration Panel Member Tēnā koutou katoa. Many thanks for inviting me here today to address you regarding the New Zealand Flag Referendum Process. As a member of the panel it is our job to be neutral, not to promote any particular design, and to provide information where and when required and as such I welcome this opportunity to address you here today. As we embark upon the first referendum to rank the five alternative designs, I think it is important to address the ten most commonly asked questions in the hope of dispelling some of the myths so that people can make an informed and educated decision for the two referendums. 1. Are you worried about the level of feeling in the debate? No. In fact I’ve been encouraged by the amount of passionate responses. Why? Because it shows me that we care deeply about what is arguably our most prominent symbol of nationhood. Whether we stay with what we have or we decide upon a new ensign, it is vitally important that we get it right and that above all else that we have an emotional connection to our flag. We need to remember that the purpose of a flag is to incite a strong sense of patriotism. A flag that fulfils its purpose needs to summon every ounce of pride your being can feel. Call it making the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, your heart beating twelve to the dozen, or not being able to swallow without detecting your Adam’s apple, this is the very purpose of a flag.
