Abstract:

I considered the potential of ascribing ‘heroic’ significance to the events of our lives – to cast a more favourable reading on those hard times past, and yet to come.

Rowan McCormick’s monograph is based on an experimental and explorative research process - a leap of faith - from which has resulted a somewhat experimental and explorative essay. With reference to both anthropological and literary theory, a series of conversations with writers reveals the heroic nature of their existence.

This study celebrates the power of narrative to mediate a sense of the conditions of one's existence, to manipulate an audience, to affect conventions, to impress readers with notions about the other, to impress a sense of order upon a chaotic existence, to convey knowledge, and to affect a sense of connection between people.

Recognising what he calls ‘the generative and transformative power of the ethnographic process,’ Rowan's monograph examines the many ways in which we attempt to ‘write’ ourselves into significance. The result is a fresh and witty essay which combines insights from both English and Anthropology, and suggests fruitful new ways of reconciling the two disciplines.

from the Preface:

“Your irritation at the disunity is, justifiably or not, the effect I intend.”

So W. H. Auden to one of the first critics of The Sea and the Mirror (1944), his wartime verse commentary on Shakespeare’s The Tempest. More specifically, to criticism of the discordant moment in the poem when Caliban addresses the audience in the urbane, prosy accents of Henry James.

The most natural style for talking about the horrors of Nazi oppression during the Second World War has come to be the clipped, gnomic phrases of Paul Celan or Nellie Sachs – both camp survivors who managed thus to refute Adorno’s famous dictum that “writing lyric poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric.”

Whatever the possibilities for Celan and Sachs, it seems (to say the least) rather presumptuous to attempt to walk in their footsteps so many decades later.

My problem was to write “naturally” and approachably about one of the most unnatural acts of modern times – without a distinct personal axe to grind and with full awareness of my temerity in doing so. If the result seems smooth, seamless and entirely self-justifying then I will have failed. My interest is more in the questions I raise than in the answers I’ve attempted to provide. ...

Blood Ties with Strangers:
Navigating the Course of Adoption Reunion over the Long Term

by Julee Browning

Edited by Jennifer Lawn

Social and Cultural Studies 7
(November 2006)
ISSN: 1175-7132

•

Abstract:

This is a revised version of a Masters Thesis in Social Anthropology (2005) which reports original research conducted with twenty adoptees, adopted under closed-stranger protocols, who have maintained regular post-reunion contact with their birth families for more than ten years. It examines the themes of the mothering role, family obligation and family membership to uncover how adoptees navigate their family membership within and between two families (adoptive and birth family). This study presents the thoughts, feelings and observations of the participants in their own words to convey a deeper understanding of their experiences. Drawing upon in-depth interviews, this study has sought to expand on car Her research focussing on the search and reunion and immediate postreunion stages to examine the long-term experiences of adoptees in postreunion.

The principal finding is that reunited relationships have no predictable pathways and are approached with varying levels of ambivalence and emotional strain, and that there is no fixed pattern of family arrangements and relational boundaries. While closed-stranger adoption will eventually cease, this research may assist in understanding the issues surrounding the reunion between anonymous gamete donors and their offspring in the future.

About the Author:

Native and Māori Land Legislation
in the Superior Courts, 1840-1980

by Grant Young, Tom Bennion and Michael Belgrave

Edited by Graeme MacRae and Jennifer Lawn

Social and Cultural Studies 6
(November 2005)
ISSN: 1175-7132

Abstract:

While Maori appeals to the Treaty of Waitangi since 1840 have been increasingly appreciated in recent decades, the extent of Maori participation in the legal system in the past has received only limited attention. Not only were Maori grievances articulated in both judicial and political environments, through legal proceedings in the superior courts and petitions to parliament, Maori landowners took action to protect their property rights and maintain their customary interests. This monograph is based on a study of 610 reported decisions of the superior courts which dealt with Maori land and the legislative framework which administered Maori land from 1840 to 1980. This surprisingly high number of cases demonstrate, particularly from the 1870s, Maori engagement with constitutional processes. Maori acted to pursue their interests to the greatest extent possible within the institutions of the emerging colonial state despite the political, legal and financial constraints it imposed.

Keywords: Native Land Court, Maori Land Court, customary law, native title, legislation, colonisation.

A Third Term?
Evaluating the Policy Legacy of the Labour-led Government, 1999-2005

from the Introduction:

As I was born a citizen of a free State, and a member of the Sovereign, I feel that however feeble the influence my voice can have on public affairs, the right of voting on them makes it my duty to study them ...

- Jean Jacques Rousseau, 1762
The Social Contract, Book 1

This collection of essays by four academics in the School of Social and Cultural Studies goes beyond the usual brief of the School's monograph series in that it is not only directed at "scholars and students in the humanities and social sciences" but to the wider public in the tradition of the academic responsibility to act as critic and conscience of society. Put together on the eve of the 2005 New Zealand national election, they constitute both a record of recent history in four significant policy areas and a critical analysis of the effect of these policies on New Zealand society. The overall theme of the essays might be seen as one of social justice and each essay focuses on policy areas that affect those who could be seen as representative in one way or another of minorities in our society – the poor, creative artists, Māori, and people with disabilities.

Mike O'Brien's essay is an evaluation of social policies that can have the effect of excluding groups of people from full participation in society on the basis of economic disadvantage.

Jennifer Lawn's essay reviews Labour Party policy on the creative arts, which has seen an increase in financial support in many areas. However, the accompanying closer integration with the economic interests of the state is viewed with some unease.

Fiono Te Momo sees the various political parties as divided between two "camps" - those who see the Treaty of Waitangi as divisive, and those who see the Treaty as uniting the nation. She analyses policy statements on the website of each of the political parties in order to assess whether these policies seek the development or the annihilation of Māori culture.

In the final essay Neil Lunt takes up the issues of government policy that affects disabled people and their opportunity to take part in New Zealand society as full citizens. ...

Contemporary Approaches to Participatory Action Research
in Aotearoa/New Zealand

by Carmel Cervin and Lewis Williams

Social and Cultural Studies 4
(July 2004)
ISSN: 1175-7132

•

Abstract:

We do not aim to provide a step-by-step guide to action research. In many respects this would be the antithesis of PAR as a process that demands from its participants ongoing critical analysis, a fine-tuned responsiveness, and ensuing fluidity in project directions. Rather we have chosen to hone in on specific themes of particular importance in our respective experiences. In doing so, we anticipate that many of these will also be significant issues for other researchers engaged in social action approaches to PAR. We also stress that each project is unique with its own sets of issues, answers and "rites of passage" for all participants as co-researchers. Accordingly, the monograph is largely structured around our individual accounts, each of which uses a number of headings to identify the themes encountered. Where the "fit" between our experiences has been sufficient we have used similar headings. In "comparing notes" which follows, we select two particular themes for discussion: cultural context and the operationalisation of PAR values, and communities' power/knowledge relationships with the University. This dialogue makes apparent the simultaneous mutuality and diversity inherent in our experiences. The monograph concludes with a bibliography for further reading.

Different Music, Same Dance:
Te Taou and the Treaty Claims Process

by Lily George

Introduction by Graeme MacRae

Afterword by John Paaka Edwards & Lou Paul (Paora)
on behalf of The Claims Committee Te Taou (Wai) 756

Social and Cultural Studies 3

ISSN: 1175-7132

Abstract:

The Treaty of Waitangi Act (1975) and its Amendment (1985) heralded a process that has seen dramatic and far-reaching changes in the organisation and politics of Maori society. From less than auspicious beginnings, the Waitangi Tribunal has come to represent one of the few avenues to justice for many Maori. The Te Taou peoples of Kaipara, Mahurangi and Taranaki Makaurau regions have gained much from participating in the claims process, particularly through gathering a comprehensive history which challenges the notion that Te Taou were a hapu of the Ngati Whatua iwi. In their journey to reclaim their identity and heritage, Te Taou have become embroiled in a procedure which requires intricate steps to the retrogressive music of bureaucratic maneuvering.

Keywords: treaty claims process, Waitangi Tribunal, Crown Forestry Rentals Trust, Te Taou, Ngati Whatua, Maori identity, colonisation.

Notes on Contributors:

Lily George is of Te Kapotai, Ngapuhi and Pakeha descent. She is a student and more recently a teacher of social anthropology. In 2000 she worked as a consultant to the people of Te Taou, preparing evidence for their claim (Wai 756) to the Waitangi Tribunal.

Pain and the Body Politic

by Grant Duncan
with a discussion by Victoria Grace

Introduction by Eleanor Rimoldi & Jennifer Lawn

Social and Cultural Studies 2
(June 2002)
ISSN: 1175-7132

•

from the Introduction:

The therapeutic process does not begin and end with the discrete therapeutic event, and to study it in that way diminishes its character and significance as a social process. This is true first in the sense that the goals of a therapeutic system exist within a historical and social context of values and necessarily have an orientation to that context. The culturally presupposed goal of therapy may be to facilitate a person's adaptation to society or, on the other hand, to criticize societal demands and motivate the person toward creative personal change and social reform. In a second sense, the therapeutic process cannot be understood as bounded by the therapeutic event precisely because it is directed at life beyond the event. If therapeutic transformation is to occur, it must occur not only in the event but in a person's life between events, as a social and experiential process. (Csordas & Kleinman, 1990, p. 25)

This second discussion paper in our Social and Cultural Studies series is a wide-ranging exploration of the nature of pain. That Grant Duncan should from the very start associate personal pain with the "body politic" is particularly relevant for New Zealand Maori: ill-health, both physical and mental, has been associated with the history of colonisation and continued disadvantage in this country. That "pain" can be both socially experienced and socially "caused" is not a new concept for an anthropologist. As the above quotation from Csordas and Kleinman suggests, the "therapeutic event" - a client's consultation with a health professional, for example - ought not be analysed in isolation from the "historical and social context of values" within which pain is experienced. ...

Notes on Contributors:

Dr Grant Duncan is a senior lecturer in the Social and Public Policy programmes, School of Social and Cultural Studies, Massey University (Auckland campus). His research has covered the relationship between policy institutions and the well-being of people, particularly concerning chronic pain and injury-compensation systems.

Prof Victoria Grace is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Canterbury. She has published widely on sociocultural understandings of chronic pain, particularly chronic pelvic pain in women. Her work in this field extends from empirical research on use of the health services and prevalence of chronic pelvic pain in New Zealand, to theoretical critiques of problems generated by the onto-epistemological assumptions of the biomedical model and its more recent appropriation of the biopsychosocial model. Current research includes investigating "meanings" of chronic pain and associated methodological questions related to language and embodiment.

from the Introduction:

We are delighted to open the Social and Cultural Studies monograph series with the edited transcript of a seminar convened by Associate Professor Marilyn Waring, "Mono-Bi-Multi Cultural Research: Who Should Do What and When?" Held on July 16, 2001 at massey University's Auckland campus, the seminar addressed the ethics of research with ethnic groups in New Zealand's increasingly multicultural society.

The panellists reflect on issues such as:

Is there a place for Pakeha in research on other ethnicities?
Who should study whom?
What is insensitive or unsafe in research on one cultural group by another?
How can researchers maintain integrity in their work?
What is the role of mentors and gatekeepers?
What counts as knowledge?
How is "monocultural research" defined? Is there such a thing?
Where does research go once it is finished? What measures need to be in place for implementation, ownership, follow-up?
What happens when interest groups conflict?
How do experienced researchers deal with passion, anxiety, desperation, paradox?

Quotations: Use double, “smart” quotation marks. Place full stops and commas within closing quotation marks. Use single quotation marks for quotations within a quotation. Three spaced ellipsis points (four after a full stop) indicate material omitted. Ellipsis points should not be used at the beginning of a quotation except where necessary to prevent misinterpretation. Square brackets indicate insertions.

Use in-text parenthetical citation (i.e. do not use footnotes for references). Give author, date, and, wherever possible, page number, as in the following examples:

See Bekerian (1993) for further information.

“The goal of freewriting is not absolutely limpid fluency” (Elbow, 1998, p. 24).

Janet Frame describes the process of writing her autobiography as an exercise in self-legitimacy, of “making [herself] a first person” (as cited in Hawes, 1995).

References: Use a References list for sources cited in the article. Include a separate Bibliography for sources which were significant to the research but not cited.
