{"title":"‘Kindness’ as Violence in the Settler-Colonial State of New Zealand","authors":"Dylan Asafo","doi":"10.22381/kc9320213","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22381/kc9320213","url":null,"abstract":"The 'politics of kindness' adopted by New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has come under strong criticism recently. This criticism has largely been in response to the ongoing failure of the current Labour-led Government to take the actions that are perceived necessary against poverty and white supremacist hate. This article aims to contribute to this criticism by arguing that a 'politics of kindness' cannot be relied upon to achieve justice for Māori and other marginalised groups within the confines of the settler-colonial state of New Zealand. This argument is made on two grounds. Firstly, the settler-colonial state of New Zealand has misappropriated the rhetoric of 'kindness' to perpetuate violence against Māori, Muslims and other marginalised groups. Secondly, a 'politics of kindness' individualises systemic problems in New Zealand, which obscures the settler-colonial state's fundamentally violent and illegitimate nature. Accordingly, this article suggests that a 'politics of revolution' be explored to help inspire the bold and radical action required to dismantle the settler-colonial state and build a new Aotearoa in which everyone can live their lives with dignity.","PeriodicalId":37557,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68370950","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 first is the extent to which recent kindness narratives in Aotearoa New Zealand have been matched by political choices and actions which will build a kinder New Zealand. I investigate how kindness has been practised in tangible ways since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 and the ways in which public sentiment has become more or less kind. The second question concerns how New Zealanders might build a 'politics of kindness' into their communities and society. In addressing this second question, a more theoretical approach is taken, which draws on the work of moral philosophers Alasdair McIntyre and Martha Nussbaum and the ideas offered in virtue ethics. This part of the paper is not intended to be an essay in moral philosophy but rather an attempt to inject an alternate moral tradition into New Zealand's political and policy discourse.","PeriodicalId":37557,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68370733","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}

We consider whether the exceptional conditions created by COVID-19 caused reconsideration of the way the arts look after society and why and how societies need to look after the arts. We do so by critically examining state and private giving to the arts in Aotearoa New Zealand, from March 2020-March 2021, alongside large- and small-scale artistic gestures of giving. It appears that a 'kinder' economy for the arts emerged during this time. While this did not disrupt the established asymmetries in the arts or society, there was a glimpse of how the neoliberal ethos for giving to the arts might be decentred by an ethos of 'social flesh' (Beasley & Bacchi, 2012).","PeriodicalId":37557,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68370969","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}
