While it recognises that gold seekers placed leisure in binary opposition to work, Chapter Four also stresses the commercialised production of entertainment spaces. Through a discussion of the goldfield public house, court, and theatre, the analysis calls attention to the cultural work of leisure in forming local communities. While leisure practices often drew upon metropolitan cultural forms, they also offered individuals a prism into the society they were forming on the goldfields.","PeriodicalId":247136,"journal":{"name":"Gold Rush Societies and Migrant Networks in the Tasman World","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115297012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second half of the Chapter maps the responses of European colonists to Chinese gold seeking in Otago after the European gold rushes, and the ways in which debates about Chinese migration to Otago drew on similar debates occurring in California and Australia.","PeriodicalId":247136,"journal":{"name":"Gold Rush Societies and Migrant Networks in the Tasman World","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125327679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Chapter argues that the Otago goldfields population was heavily influenced by migration streams to the Australian colonies which later converged on the Victorian goldfields, stressing the role of kinship and community networks in facilitating and directing migration. The Chapter further shows how these kinship bonds were transplanted in Otago, as well as the degree to which individuals retained connections to loved ones in Britain or Ireland through the exchange of correspondence. By analysing migrant correspondence, the Chapter frames gold seeker identities within communities at home and the degree to which these relationships were maintained after overseas migration.","PeriodicalId":247136,"journal":{"name":"Gold Rush Societies and Migrant Networks in the Tasman World","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115304228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
