  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

  • Embodied Pedagogy: Examples of Moral Practice from Art Education

    Embodied Pedagogy: Examples of Moral Practice from Art Education

    EMBODIED PEDAGOGY: EXAMPLES OF MORAL PRACTICE FROM ART EDUCATION Ruth Boyask University of Canterbury, New Zealand Educators operate today in a climate that favours instrumental means to achieve economically rational ends. This emphasis conflicts with the moral purpose of education, which is concerned ostensibly with widening participation and increasing personal liberty. Framed by this potential conflict is an investigation into the activity of historical figures in New Zealand art education to reveal how their deliberate activities negotiated the dominant discourses of their times, and how they shifted cultural production and understandings towards divergent social ends. These historical cases provide insight into possibilities for contemporary educators. Teaching and learning occur both within and outside of educational institutions, policies and sectors. Whilst this premise may not appear particularly innovative or surprising, taken seriously it has the potential to destabilise existing orders of educational practice. It indicates that the creation of knowledge as it is experienced does not necessarily conform to generalised policies nor does it occur within the formal institutions and educational sectors that we have constructed for its legitimation and continuance. However, this premise conflicts with basic assumptions operating currently within the discipline of education, where educational knowledge is positioned in relation to specific and discrete epistemological constructions. This article is developed from a fundamentally phenomenological position, whereby social discourses are constructed through embodied interaction and dialogue, resulting in social practices such as pedagogy, which are ritualised and re-enacted throughout our institutions. The discussion claims that pedagogies have moral implications in that they expand or inhibit social participation and personal liberty, and therefore they encourage educators, when determining a course of action, to deliberate on how their practices intersect with educational structures.

Jones Kevin L. Jones Archaeologist Ltd 6/13 Leeds Street WELLINGTON 6011 [email protected] Wellington 15 July 2017 Caption frontispiece: Pinehaven c. 1969 viewed from the north. Trentham camp mid-left, St Patricks (Silverstream) College at right. Pinehaven Stream runs across the centre of the photograph. Source: Hutt City Library. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This assessment reviews the risk of there being archaeological sites as defined in the Heritage NZ Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 in the vicinity of the works proposed for the Pinehaven Stream. The geomorphology of the area has been reviewed to determine whether there are older land surfaces that would have been suitable for pre-European or 19th C settlement. Remnant forest trees indicate several areas of older but low-lying (flood-prone) surfaces but field inspections indicate no archaeological sites. A review of earlier (1943) aerial photographs and 19th C survey plans indicate no reasonable cause to suspect that there will be archaeological sites. A settlement established in 1837 by Te Kaeaea of Ngati Tama in the general area of St Patricks College Silverstream is more or less on the outwash plain of the Pinehaven Stream. The fan north of the college is heavily cut into by the edge of the Hutt valley flood plain. This is the only historically documented 19th C Maori settlement on the Pinehaven Stream fan but it is outside the area of proposed works. Another broad class of archaeological site may be earlier forms of infrastructure on the stream such as dams, mills, races, bridges, abutments, and logging and rail infrastructure.

    The Journ Al of the Polynesian Society

    THE JOURNAL OF THE POLYNESIAN SOCIETY THE POLYNESIAN OF THE JOURNAL VOLUME 128 No.1 MARCH 2019 Special Issue TE AO HOU: WHAKAPAPA AS PRACTICAL ONTOLOGY VOLUME 128 No.1 MARCH 2019 VOLUME “IMAGES STILL LIVE AND ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE”: WHAKAPAPA AND THE 1923 DOMINION MUSEUM ETHNOLOGICAL EXPEDITION NATALIE ROBERTSON Auckland University of Technology ABSTRACT: The first major photofilmic record of the Waiapu River region of Aotearoa New Zealand occurred over a three-week period in March–April 1923, when the filmmaker and photographer James McDonald documented local cultural activities on the East Coast. McDonald was a member of the fourth Dominion Museum ethnological expedition from Wellington, invited to Waiapu by Apirana Ngata to record ancestral tikanga ‘practices’ that he feared were disappearing. Despite the criticism of ethnographic “othering” in the resulting film He Pito Whakaatu i te Noho a te Maori i te Tairawhiti—Scenes of Māori Life on the East Coast, this paper suggests that the fieldwork, from a Ngāti Porou perspective, was assisted and supported by local people. It addresses the entanglements of this event and delineates the background, purpose and results of the documentary photographs and film in relation to Ngata’s cultural reinvigoration agenda. This article also reveals the various relationships, through whakapapa ‘kin networks’ hosting and friendship, between members of the team and local people. Drawing on the 1923 diary kept by Johannes Andersen and on other archival and tribal sources, the author closely analyses these relationships, what Apirana Ngata calls takiaho ‘relational cords’, which are brought to light so that descendants can keep alive these connections through the remaining film fragments and beyond the frame.

Jim Wilson was born in Temuka, North Otago. In 1897 he moved north with his parents to Southern Hawke’s Bay when they took up land in the Dannevirke area. In 1907 Wilson brought “Nertherby” his much loved farm located At Hatuma near Waipukurau and lived there for the rest of What proved to be a long and extremely productive life.

Eventually in July I sent a cheque for 10 pounds and got the book. I well remember the thrill of opening the parcel – it has ever since been the ‘king of my collection’. On my way home from the Dunedin Exhibition I called at Smith’s bookshop in Wellington. On the counter were the 2 volumes in one of McKay’s Native Affairs of the South Island.
