Abstract:

Maori, like other indigenous peoples, are increasingly involved in attempts to provide appropriate cultural responses to environmental issues. These include efforts to translate and incorporate isolated parts of their language and traditional practises into the prevailing culture. Major problems with this process are the incommensurability of such attempts whereby the real meaning of a custom or word is frequently debased and divorced from its traditional cultural setting, so that its proper functioning is impaired. Added to this is the ignorance on the part of many concerning the conceptual w

Abstract:

Kaupapa Māori methodologies in Aotearoa New Zealand have often been applied to content of immediate and direct relevance to Māori communities. Some of these include research about aspects of cultural revitalisation or examinations of the position Māori occupy within broader ethnic disparities, particularly in health and social outcomes. This article seeks to expand the application of Kaupapa Māori paradigms to research topics outside ‘te ao Maori’ (the Māori world). We argue that the Kaupapa Māori theorising of a Māori visual arts and culture scholar can provide crucial insights on white privi

Abstract:

This essay critically evaluates responses to Colin McCahon's religious paintings over the past fifty years, from A. R. D. Fairburn's dismissal to Laurence Simmons' deconstruction, and beyond to the reception of “A Question of Faith”. McCahon's religious paintings have evoked an ever-changing response that, it is argued, reflects the debate on the role and position of religion and Christianity in both New Zealand society and the wider modern-postmodern world. McCahon's religious paintings of the 1940s were attempts to locate in New Zealand the postwar Christian reconstruction of society, and ye

Abstract:

AbstractThe recent New Zealand Supreme Court decision inClarke v Takamoreraises issues about how Maori society views deceased tribal members as belonging to the extended family and tribal group collective. This conflicts with English common law understandings that a closer, legally protected individual relationship exists with an executor, if the decedent has left a will, or with a spouse, if there is no will. This note examines the conflict and suggests a solution that would be fairer to Maori than that unanimously reached by three of New Zealand's general courts.

The world is changing, but political and educational institutions appears to be stuck in the 19th century. Modern policy and education are both premised on an Enlightenment assumption of the human, rational, individual subject. Increasingly, elements of these philosophical premises are being interrogated. The critique emerges from the environmental interest in collapsing the dualism between subject and object, and reintegrating the human with/in our ecological context. Indigenous philosophy is important for rethinking the integration of the dualism between humanity and ecology. Maori philosoph

We need to do urgent work just to establish what constitutes Maori education. Many new developments are a long way ahead of publications about them.
