Papers to Conference



Third Edition



A collection of mostly old but some new work



by Peter Cleave

ISBN



978-1-877229-17-6



Published in 2008



Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/papers-to-conference.html



The present collection starts with a paper on literacy in Aotearoa/New Zealand in the nineteenth century.This is the most recent paper. The collection finishes with a paper on literacy and there are one or two references to this subject throughout without literacy being a major theme.



In fact,the demand for this collection was largely to do with older work and this constitutes the rest of the collection. Some papers are so out of date as to be quaint. Others like the paper on Samoan and Maori may be old but they might have a current application.



One debate that may not be quaint or out of date may be the one discussed in the review of Francis Pound and Wystan Curnow from the early nineties about icons and symbols. We might well ask what happened to this discussion. We might well also ask what the conditions for a talk like this are in 2008.



The essay on the Pa Maori which is really just a review of Best's book may leave questions unanswered in the wider literature.



In the paper entitled Native Voice and in some of the journal work in Aotearoa, especially that found in Illusions in the nineties there is a discussion of new things happening in the arts in Aotearoa.



The discussion of o and a, the so-called case system in Maori is here through demand. It is also a discussion of commentators which is unusual in this area.



By contrast to the the work on literacy and the Pa Maori the social work papers won prizes and were published in international collections. In this sense the collection is a mix of the known and the obscure.















Iwi Station. A discussion of print, radio and television

in Aotearoa/New Zealand



by Peter Cleave

ISBN

978-1-877229-27-5



Published in 2008



Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/iwi-station.html



This book is about communication and power from a tribal point of view in Aotearoa/New Zealand and the world at large. The tribe concerned is the iwi as distinct from the hapu, the sub-tribe or the whanau, the extended family.



The iwi is considered in several historical periods. In each there is a consideration of the communications environment of the iwi be that oral, to do with reading or writing or literacy or to do with electronic media including radio, television and the internet.



There are also two, at least, intense periods of change, the 1850s when Maori was displaced by English as the language of the majority and the period from the early 1990s until the present day characterised by the development of iwi radio and Maori television and the advent of the internet.



The discussion of the internet is really a series of questions. Does the internet allow increased specialisation as well as a greater internationalisation? Are Maori better able to identify common ground and communicate over more space and time than ever before? Is it now possible to find new ground? Does the internet offer freedom from the shackles of a small nation state?



All chapters are about the way that tribes manage communication in the context of a mainstream. Choosing the ground for communication is itself important in this context and there are recurrent issues of control and power.









From the Depot-Takirua

Second Edition

by

Peter Cleave



ISBN

978-1-877229-29-9



Published in 2008



Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/from-depot-takirua-second-edition.html

There was something of a moment in the late eighties and early nineties in Wellington theatre and over the years From the Depot Takirua has been there as an attempt to grapple with what happened.



This Second Edition of the book begins with an older essay containing reviews of work done at the Depot Takirua. Some of the original essays have been retained and new work on Peter Jackson and Maori Television has been included.



The moment at the Depot Takirua, if such it was, quickly became overtaken by other things. Matters were complicated and, it must be said, enriched by film. The workshopping of the warrior proceeded to the film Once were Warriors and elsewhere. Peter Jackson happened from the early nineties and there was a shift of attention and resources to film. A connection between the work of Peter Jackson and the kind of work work done at the Depot-Takirua is found in the writing of Harry and Stephen Sinclair.



With the advent of Maori Television it is possible to see people who were involved in theatre in the early nineties moving to film and then to television.



But there was a period in the early nineties at the Depot Theatre when things came together. The question now, nearly twenty years later, is how they might line up again in a comparable blaze of creativity or whatever. It might involve the same people. Stephen Sinclair features in the Depot-Takirua story as a writer just as he does in the Peter Jackson story.



The papers on Suzie Cato and on Maori Television are offered on the grounds that television, especially Maori Television, may be the place where things come together in a creative step like that which was made at the Depot Takirua all those years ago. The paper on the grotesque which features the piano is offered as a route taken, as it were, out of the kind of thing happening at the Depot Takirua in the early nineties but so far at least not taken further. Something similar seems to have happened with the warrior project, if that it might be called. These sit in the corners of our minds now like dead ends or cul de sacs. Will we come back to them and will new media like Maori Television be used to do so?











Culture in the work place. A book of group exercises



by Peter Cleave



ISBN

978-1-877229-25-1



Published in 2008



Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/culture-in-workplace.html



How do you work out how to work with other people?



This book is designed to help you do this. The first thing is to consider of culture in your workplace. Then to find better ways of working.



These are the things that matter no matter how removed they might seem from the job at hand. Religion, dress, diet, eye contact and body language. All of these things and more contribute to positive or negative work situations.



This book is not meant to be prescriptive or to tell people what to do in their own workspaces and with their own culture.



The exercises below are offered that they might allow readers to work out their own situations. The idea has been to keep it simple and to allow discussion to happen in a easy fashion.















Papers of Contest

Third Edition



by Peter Cleave



ISBN



978-1-877229-28-2



Published in 2007



Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/papers-of-contest.html



The theme of this collection of papers is contest. There is a challenge in each paper.



The first paper looks at literacy in the nineteenth century in Aotearoa/New Zealand.



In the next paper conventional research is challenged with an idea of indigenous modes of inquiry.



The following paper looks at confrontational theatre and film in the 1990s.



The discussion of Francis Pound and Wystan Curnow considers images, symbols and the art of a place, a country, I suppose.



The review of Martin Blythe's book involves several of the themes so far considered as well as others and tries to describe an exciting analysis.



The consideration of the native, the outlaw and the frontier widens the perspective of the collection.



The rest of the papers in the collection take the idea of contest into different areas.



The discussion of Suzie Cato takes the discussion into mainstream media in Aotearoa/New Zealand.



By contrast the next article looks at work with perhaps more limited but nonetheless highly critical audiences and the construction of or the playing with a notion of the Pakeha-Maori.



The final paper is a consideration of the grotesque. This raises a number of questions that are left hanging and that, perhaps, is what happens in a collection with the theme of contest.











What do we know about the mark on the wall?

Images, rules and prior knowledge

by

Peter Cleave

ISBN

978-1-877229-26-8

Published in 2007

Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-do-we-know-about-mark-on-wall.html

There is a sense in which the work here is dated referring as it does to work done in TESOL in the early nineties. That literature could be updated. There is a question though as to which direction to take from here and there is also the fact that whatever the argument is attached to it will eventually date. The advantage, I think, of the work referred to is that it is of a very high calibre.

Other applications for the argument might well be found. Work on memory from the early childhood area is one possibility but there are others such as developments in educational theory and practice over the last half century.

It may be though that no one major kind of example emerges. The book as it is or in any revision may just use examples from here and there. The theme may be a matter of constant return, going back again and again to questions of cognition and literacy.






Papers on Social Work
Second Edition
by
Peter Cleave
ISBN


978-1-877229-21-3



Published in 2007



Excerpts from the book and a discussion of the book by the author on video are on;

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/papers-on-social-work.html



These papers venture into several areas of social work but there may be some features that set the collection aside.



The first is an emphasis throughout on social work education. This interest is set out in in the first chapter where there is a comparison between local and European traditions. Work by Carola Khulmann and Peter Cleave appears early in the collection and is then taken further in subsequent papers.



One emphasis or theme which keeps coming up is to do with a ethic. This is touched in the comparison of social work in Germany and Aotearoa/New Zealand, looked at in the article, An ethic of empathy, and touched on again in the article on iwi social services.



Another theme is to do with indigenous ways of research. The paper on rangahau is the most discursive in the collection and the intention here is to take the arguments as far as they might go without necessarily coming to fixed conclusions.



Yet another pertains to the dynamics of small group work in social work learning and teaching. This work is perhaps the most widely published while some of the other papers are offered to a broader readership for the first time.



The consideration of broadcasting and social work is different from the other papers in many respects and, along with the paper on iwi social services, a little tentative in its conclusions These are both new areas of work for me and it shows. In later editions the intention is to refine and develop the arguments involved.



















Papers on Language

Peter Cleave

Published in 2007

http://puffcom.blogspot.com/2008/04/papers-on-language.html



This collection of papers takes work from a variety of sources. The intention is to draw a fairly long bow.



There is some work on literacy which is nor about any language in particular. There is work on Maori grammar. And a paper on strategies for language retention. And there is recent work on literacy and oral communication in Aotearoa.



The transmission of an ethic through language and song is considered in another paper.



The Note on the two or three verb classes in Maori applies to the o an a categories and to the use of i and ki. They are short but hopefully important links which make sense, I think, of a range of questions that might come up.



There are also papers about voice and tone. There is even a paper about a song. These are offered in the hope that language might be considered in the broadest possible terms.
