Ka ora ngā Kōrero Hītori o Ngāti Konohi mā roto mai i ngā Mahi Whakaako Waiata i te Kapa Haka o Whāngārā-mai-tawhiti
No full textKo te whāinga matua o tēnei tuhinga, ko te wānanga, ko te tātari i te huarahi
whakaako i ngā kōrero hītori, i ngā kōrero tuku iho i roto i ngā mahi kapa haka.
Ko ngā huarahi pēnei i te haka, i te waiata, i te mōteatea e whakatauira nei i te
āhuatanga o te ako ā-waha, ā-hinengaro, ā-kupu, ā-whatu hoki. Hei whakatauira
ake i tēnei kaupapa rangahau, ka noho ko taku kapa haka o Whāngārā-maitawhiti
hei kapa patapātai māku mō tēnei kaupapa rangahau. Ka rua, ka
whakamāramatia ake ngā huarahi e whāia ana e rātou ki te whāngai, ki te pupuri
i ngā kōrero hītori o Ngāti Konohi.
Kua tīpakohia tētahi momo titonga nō ia tau i tū ai Te Kapahaka o Whāngārāmai-
tawhiti mai te tau 1995 ki te tau 2011. Hei tauira ko ētahi o ngā kaupapa
titonga waiata e hāngai ana ki te hītori o Paikea mai i Hawaiki ki Whāngārā. Ka
noho ko Paikea hei kupu whakarite mō te matenga o tētahi kaumātua nō Ngāti
Konohi. Ka noho hoki ko ngā hononga i waenga i a Ngāti Konohi me ētahi atu
iwi hei kaupapa mō ētahi/ tētahi o ngā waiata/ haka/ mōteatea. Ko te mea nui,
he titonga waiata ēnei e puta ai, e pupuri ai ngā kōrero hītori a Ngāti Konohi ake,
ā, he mea tuku iho i roto i te wā, mai tēnā whakatipuranga ki tēnā
whakatipuranga.
Hei te mutunga, ka kitea mēnā he tika, he hē rawa rānei tāku whakapae, ‘Ka ora
ngā kōrero hītori o Ngāti Konohi mā roto mai i ngā mahi whakaako waiata i te
kapa haka o Whāngārā-mai-tawhiti.’ Inā e pūkana nei, inā e whātero nei, inā e
ngangahu nei, inā e ora nei
The Interpretation of Cultural Heritage: Sharing Māori Cultural Tourism Experiences with International Visitors
No full textMāori cultural tourism can be an important part of the experience for visitors to New Zealand. The purpose of this research is to gain insights into the way guides manage visitor experiences in order to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Māori culture.
International visitors are culturally and linguistically diverse. Therefore, not only are there differences in perspectives and beliefs, but also in communication. Furthermore, visitors arrive with differences in knowledge, interest and expectations. This thesis considers approaches to guiding and interpretation in Māori cultural tourism experiences by examining how guides, as cross-cultural mediators, share Māori cultural heritage so that it is meaningful and relevant to visitors. The literature on Māori tourism has examined issues of ownership, participation, control over representation, and the diversification of Māori tourism products. In spite of the shift to reflect tribal diversity, stereotypes are still reinforced in marketing images and tourism products. Although acknowledged as important, there are no published studies on the role of Māori guides.
Developed from a social constructivist perspective, this study compares perspectives on and approaches to guiding and interpretation by Māori and non-Māori guides. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews with tour guides and a manager from the chosen case studies, Te Puia and Te Papa, with 21 interviews conducted in June and July 2011. Using a visitor-centred approach to interpretation, guides select information and find relevant connections. Furthermore, the quantity and complexity of information, as well as the style and level of communication is considered. Guides manage the relationship so that visitors feel comfortable, which not only enables interaction and encourages questions but is also important for managing visitors' attitudes. The main challenge identified is the language barrier and working with outside language interpreters. In the comparison between Māori and non-Māori guides, the key differences are found in the guide's background and ways of learning about Māori cultural heritage.
This research contributes to the literature on interpretation and indigenous tourism by identifying factors influencing the process of the interpretation of cultural heritage. Furthermore, comparing the perceptions of Māori and non-Māori guides provides a key contribution. The findings of this study have management implications for training of guides
The Mediation of Tikanga in Haka Competition
Get PDFHaka competition is an environment that encourages revitalisation and development of cultural performance but it can also challenge iwi cultural norms. This paper explores the tension that exists when iwi cultural norms are mediated for competition sake and the impact that this can have on tutors, performers and judges alike.</jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
