Download or read book Whare Korero written by Gavin McLean and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2007 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I doubt people of my age would have grown up with such a strong sense of New Zealandness if it hadn't been for Reed Books ... publication by Reeds was a source of great pride', historian Michael King believed. For generations of Kiwis a raupo on the spine of a book has been as much a part of living in New Zealand as quarter-acre sections, hokey-pokey ice cream or jandals. In this eclectic sampling, historian Gavin McLean blows the dust from New Zealand publishing's greatest backlist to serve up more than 80 selections from the Reed vault. The iconic writers - Herbert Guthrie-Smith, Janet Frame, Barry Crump, Denis Glover, Frank Sargeson, Peter Wells, Witi Ihimaera - rub shoulders with the forgotten - C.R. Allen, F.W.G. Miller, Peter Newton, Ruth Gilbert. There's light relief from Pat Lawlor, Mary Scott, Helen Brown, Bob Jones and Richared Hadlee, and searing, gritty writing from R.A.K. Mason, Mary Findlay, Bill Payne and David Brown. We look back at tumultuous events - wars, shipwrecks, the 1981 Springbok tour - examine social issues such as juvenile delinquency, bodgies and gangs, explore Maori culture, popular music and even sample the odd recipe. As Whare Korero shows, Reed isthe voice of New Zealand.

Download or read book Biculturalism at New Zealand s National Museum written by Tanja Schubert-McArthur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa has been celebrated as an international leader for its bicultural concept and partnership with Māori in all aspects of the museum, but how does this relationship with the indigenous partner work in practice? Biculturalism at New Zealand’s National Museum reveals the challenges, benefits and politics of implementing a bicultural framework in everyday museum practice. Providing an analysis of the voices of museum employees, the book reflects their multifaceted understandings of biculturalism and collaboration. Based on a year of intensive fieldwork behind the scenes at New Zealand’s national museum and drawing on 68 interviews and participant observations with 18 different teams across the organisation, this book examines the interactions and cultural clashes between Māori and non-Māori museum professionals in their day-to-day work. Documenting and analysing contemporary museum practices, this account explores how biculturalism is enacted, negotiated, practised and envisioned on different stages within the complex social institution that is the museum. Lessons learnt from Te Papa will be valuable for other museums, NGOs, the public service and organisations facing similar issues around the world. Biculturalism at New Zealand’s National Museum addresses a gap in the literature on biculturalism and reaffirms the importance of ethnography to the anthropological enterprise and museum studies research. As such, it will be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of cultural anthropology, museum anthropology, museum studies, and Māori studies or indigenous studies. It should also be of great interest to museum professionals.

Download or read book Curating the Future written by Jennifer Newell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curating the Future: Museums, Communities and Climate Change explores the way museums tackle the broad global issue of climate change. It explores the power of real objects and collections to stir hearts and minds, to engage communities affected by change. Museums work through exhibitions, events, and specific collection projects to reach different communities in different ways. The book emphasises the moral responsibilities of museums to address climate change, not just by communicating science but also by enabling people already affected by changes to find their own ways of living with global warming. There are museums of natural history, of art and of social history. The focus of this book is the museum communities, like those in the Pacific, who have to find new ways to express their culture in a new place. The book considers how collections in museums might help future generations stay in touch with their culture, even where they have left their place. It asks what should the people of the present be collecting for museums in a climate-changed future? The book is rich with practical museum experience and detailed projects, as well as critical and philosophical analyses about where a museum can intervene to speak to this great conundrum of our times. Curating the Future is essential reading for all those working in museums and grappling with how to talk about climate change. It also has academic applications in courses of museology and museum studies, cultural studies, heritage studies, digital humanities, design, anthropology, and environmental humanities.
