- W2605340748 abstract "This collection of essays derives from the symposium endued 'Beyond Representation: Cultural Histories of Colonial New Zealand', held at the University of Otago in November 2010. Our goal at that symposium was to offer a forum for sharing approaches and arguments that push our understandings of colonial cultural formations in new directions, that make use of new analytical sites or archives, and that open up new lines of analysis. We were particularly interested in developing an extended and interdisciplinary conversation about how to conceptualize, research and write culturally inflected histories of life in these islands from the formal annexation of New Zealand in 1840 through to 1907, when New Zealand gained Dominion status. Contributors addressed several questions or issues relating to how colonial cultures were made: What practices shaped and reshaped culture or cultures? What were the key sites, institutions, media, and artifacts for articulating meaning? How did cultures develop and what patterns of cultural changes are discernible? Papers also addressed the question of how we access the realm of culture: What are our key sources and archives? How might we reread influential texts or use supposedly ephemeral or marginal works to think about the colonial cultural formation? And, more broadly still, what are the analytical strategies and methodologies that we might use to make sense of culture?A significant group of the papers addressed questions relating to the culture of writing in colonial New Zealand, drawing from the perspectives of literary history, print culture studies, Maori studies, and cultural history. The pieces brought together in this special issue extend the conversation begun at the symposium, focusing on two key themes: writing's relationship to the project of colonialism, and the ways in which different forms of textual production were implicated in the processes of community formation. Here the contributors are engaging with the influential tradition of historical work on 'cultural colonization' as well as working through the implications of recent work on the literary history of colonial New Zealand. While several of the essays are primarily literary in their focus, the collection as whole casts new light on the place of literature within a broader textual culture that was built around newspapers, various forms of popular non-fiction, and a diverse array of everyday writing practices. In other words, this collection offers some new readings of how 'high' forms of literary and intellectual production were shaped by what Peter Gibbons termed the 'typographical undergrowth', those popular and common forms of writing that were at the heart of colonial culture.Several generations of critics were deeply preoccupied with the quest for a national literature, focusing their attention on the both the emergence of significant and original writers and the development of a growing publishing and critical infrastructure from the 1930s on. Recent scholarship has increasingly pushed against literary nationalism and questioned the very idea of 'national literature' as the canon-making exercises of figures like Alien Curnow have been sternly challenged. Most significantly Jane Stafford and Mark Williams have produced a landmark reevaluation of the 'Maoriland' literature, which not only challenges some of the aesthetic grounds for Curnow's dismissal of colonial writing, but also offers a rich culturally inflected reading of key novelists and poets against the backdrop of colonial culture.1More broadly, postcolonial scholarship has interrogated literary nationalism as it has documented literature's implication in the production of the cultural difference that structured colonialism's inequalities, stressed the appropriation of Maori language and symbols by colonial writers who sought to naturalize and indigenize themselves in their new 'home', and highlighted the ability of Maori writers to dramatize the trauma of land loss and the cultural alienation inherent in the colonial order. …" @default.
