Weng Fanggang shi lun yan jiu
No full textWeng Fanggang (1733-1818) was a prominent scholar, poet and critic of Qing dynasty. His Jili criticism was among the most influential poetic discourses in mid-late Qing. Nonetheless, his creative works have been disparaged since then, but his researches on Shenyun and Gediao have drawn close attention from scholars. Weng pursued the “natural rhythm” through the examination of poetic forms. It then naturally led to the quest of Shenyun. Meanwhile, Gediao was also a concept of great importance when Weng studied the Chinese literary history. These thoughts thus amalgamated and developed into the all-round conception of Jili. Weng believed Jili could be used to answer the question of “what is a poem.” For the purpose of proving and demonstrating his theory, he even remolded the image of Du Fu (712-770) in Chinese poetic history.The poetic criticism of Weng Fanggang has always been regarded as the product of the “Evidential Scholarship” prevailing in mid Qing. The present study reveals that Weng’s poetic thoughts have made much contribution to the understanding of the “essence” of poetry, when we compare his conception of Jili to the modern researches on “Chinese Lyrical Tradition.” The historical and contemporary significance of Weng’s poetry criticism are hence reassured.</p

Place attachment of Ngāi Te Ahi to Hairini Marae
No full textTwelve members of Ngāi Te Ahi, a hapū from Tauranga, were interviewed to explore how they talk about their place attachment to Hairini Marae. This was organized around five key dimensions of place attachment taken from the literature—continuity, distinctiveness, symbolism, attachment and familiarity. We found that in discussing all dimensions, place attachment was equally about social and cultural relationships, history, and socialization. Place attachment for groups such as Māori is complex because it encompasses all social relationships past and present. The implication for those working with Māori is to take seriously the wider connotations of place when talking to Māori about marae, traditional homelands, and their land
“BODY-SNATCHING”: Changes to coroners legislation and possible Māori responses
No full textThe term body-snatcher has enjoyed a renaissance in the media recently, as various Māori have moved to reclaim their deceased relations. From a Māori perspective, the claiming of bodies has nothing to do with body-snatching, a term that referred to episodes in the West. Indeed, Māori may see some laws themselves as instruments that snatch the body, in contravention of Māori customs. One of these laws, the Coroners Act 2006, may have made some progress by quietly acknowledging these customs in many ways, but that is merely the start of a greater dialogue between Māori and the Crown in relation to proper Māori respect of the dead body
Reconnecting whānau: Pathways to recovery for Māori with bipolar disorder
No full textWhile Māori are known to experience a higher burden of mental health and addiction problems compared to non-Māori (Baxter, 2008), little exploratory research has been conducted into Māori experiences of bipolar affective disorder. Bipolar disorder is at times regarded as a “life sentence”, with little hope of recovery. The recovery- focused mental health literature, however, argues wellness is achievable for even the most intractable conditions (Lapsley, Nikora, & Black, 2002; Mental Health Commission, 2001). The aim of this research was to gather information about the experiences of Māori who were diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. Interviews were conducted with 22 Māori wāhine (women) and tāne (men), and using thematic analyses, themes relevant to their life stories were uncovered. This research sought to contribute to the realisation of Māori potential by explicitly shifting from deficit- focused frameworks to a focus on systemic factors that influenced Māori wellbeing. Highlights were that whānau (participants) who were connected with friends, partners and family were motivated to achieve wellness and to stay well
'Te Kawau Mārō' The Role of Media in Revitalising Te Reo Māori
No full textThe intent of this thesis is to investigate the role media plays in relation to the revitalisation of te reo Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand society. This is essential as the media's latent potential is often underestimated and therefore underutilised.
For Māori and inevitably te reo Māori, media has been a topic of heated contestation for over a century. It is postulated that throughout this troubled history, media's influence has contributed to an erosion of te reo Māori and then conversely, since the late 20th century, its attempted revival. The journey of te reo Māori from past to present may be likened to a voyage of a traditional 'waka hourua' (voyaging or double hulled canoe). 'Nga ngaru e toru' ('three waves') illustrates the three stages that I have defined as catalysts significantly impacting te reo Māori.
Grounded firmly in a Kaupapa Māori methodological and theoretical framework based on careful research and intimate cultural knowledge, my innovative approaches to language revitalisation entitled the Tapatoru (triangle) Model 1 and Tapatoru Model 2 will be introduced and explained. These distinct language revitalisation paradigms illustrate the core ingredients needed in effective language revival and illustrate the positioning and function of the media within these strategic models
Constitutional Disobedience? Civil Disobedience, Accountability, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi
No full textThis paper recognises te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand, and therefore the centre of the constitutional framework. Traversing existing civil disobedience theory, the author proposes a philosophy of ‘constitutional disobedience’ as a means of upholding te Tiriti. The author argues that te Tiriti is the foundation of governmental legitimacy and social cooperation by drawing parallels with civil disobedience theory and adapting it to the Aotearoa context. The paper presents ‘constitutional disobedience’ as a principled collective act with a communicative function aimed at governmental accountability to te Tiriti. The author contends that such disobedience strengthens the legitimacy of the government, and therefore constitutional democracy. While legal justifications for constitutional disobedience remain speculative, the author asserts that moral justification exists when a civil disobedient addresses Tiriti breaches as a last resort. The paper calls for a shift in public perception, urging respect for those who challenge illegitimate government power – power that is exercised in breach of te Tiriti. Ultimately, the author articulates constitutional disobedience as a crucial aspect of the ongoing struggle for constitutional transformation, emphasising the counterintuitive role that constitutional disobedience plays in guarding the legitimacy of government in Aotearoa
