It deals in the interactions of myth and history, of race, tribe, and nation, of Europe and the Pacific, and of Us and Them. It does so in the conviction that New Zealand, an intersection between two cultures exceptionally prone to spawning reproductions of themselves, is a good place to study such matters. The paper is an exercise in the social history of ideas, as against their intellectual history. The latter can lapse into a kind of intellectual granny-hunting, debating which ancestor to make eponymous: was it Social Lamarckianism, Biological Spencerism, or Social Darwinism? The former pursues the lower and wider role of ideas as lenses on, and determinants of, history. This is a field in which testing is difficult: the paper is speculative; and caution is invoked if not delivered herein. A key assumption is that socialized (widely-disseminated and culturallyvalued) ideas can congeal into discernible knots or currents, without deliberate artifice or conspiracy. 'Myth' is a convenient label, though we should note that these ideas are not merely falsehoods to be debunked, nor texts to be deconstructed, but also important historical refractors and determinants. Modern myths can be seen as fluid cultural motifs, shifting according to time and context and layered such that acceptance of one element encourages, but does not absolutely require, acceptance of another. Each may derive cohesion through dissemination from a common source, but also from atheoretical thinkers with similar backgrounds who make similar choices from sets of options limited by a shared conceptual language. There is an element of convergent evolution as well as of shared descent. Occupying a space between theories and attitudes, myths can draw on the former, but sometimes do so eclectically and inconsistently, knotting strategically contradictory theories together to provide tactical legitimation. We find several works of mid-nineteenth century New Zealand ethnography simul-","PeriodicalId":51937,"journal":{"name":"NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF HISTORY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48605017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Taradale Meets The Ideal Society and its Enemies","authors":"C. Daley","doi":"10.7810/9781877242175_17","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7810/9781877242175_17","url":null,"abstract":"IN a very favourable review of Miles Fairburn's The Ideal Society and its Enemies, Alan Ward suggested that 'Fairburn has set the terms of debate for some time to come. His terms, his statistics, his chronology will be challenged by specialists in the field. But the categories he has used will no doubt illuminate comparable studies of the twentieth century — and perhaps produce surprises for Fairburn himself.' In the same publication, Rollo Arnold began that challenge, especially to Fairburn's statistics, questioning the transience figures he used for \"Normanby and Marton. The argument and pace of The Ideal Society and its Enemies are intense. The reader is swept along as Fairburn outlines and then rejects alternative interpretations of nineteenth-century New Zealand before offering his own atomization thesis. His book is undoubtedly one of the most important recent works in Pakeha historiography. It is therefore crucial to step back from it and critically assess the validity of its central thesis and to do so now, before a Fairburnian legend of nineteenth-century Pakeha society becomes entrenched. I have been engaged in an historical study of Taradale, in Hawke's Bay. Today Taradale is a suburb of Napier but in the time period of my work, 18861930, it was quite a separate area, with never more than 3000 inhabitants. Taradale provides us with an opportunity to test the general theory Fairburn propounds on a particular place. As Ward predicted, I intend to question Fairburn's terms, statistics and chronology as Taradale meets The Ideal Society and its Enemies. Two aspects of Fairburn's terminology I will question first: his notion of atomization, and his use and rejection of the idea of local community. Since at least the early 1980s, Fairburn has been promoting the idea of atomization. He believes that the nature of the immigrant population, combined with the situation they faced in New Zealand, meant that people in the second half of the nineteenth century, especially 1850-80, were atomized. They travelled to New Zealand either alone or without extended family support. More men than women migrated and immigrants tended to be young: Pakeha New Zealand had an age and sex imbalance in its population. On arrival, these people did not settle","PeriodicalId":51937,"journal":{"name":"NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF HISTORY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45531661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Binney","doi":"10.7810/9781877242472_2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7810/9781877242472_2","url":null,"abstract":"THE EARLY Anglican missionary Thomas Kendall left, in a series of letters written in 1823 and 1824, a unique account of northern Maori religious beliefs. He urged that the carvings were 'explanatory of the New Zealand mythology\" and, as an accompaniment to a long description written in July 1824, he made a sketch of one piece which was 'emblematical' of those beliefs. This drawing vanished from the Archives of the Church Missionary Society and I could not trace it when, eleven years ago, I published my interpretation of Kendall's work.2 It had, in fact, come into the possession of a private collector in England (along with other Kendall material), but had been misidentified by him. It was only when K.A. Webster died and his collection passed to the Alexander Turnbull Library that it was recognized.3 (Figure I) This sketch of the ancestral deity, Nukutawhiti, provides new insight into the cosmogony of the Maoris and the significance of their carving. The drawing is of a centre board or entrance (kuwaha) to a carved storehouse (pataka whakairo). The large figure is Nukutawhiti, the captain of the Mamari canoe, who met Kupe and from whom Ngapuhi of the Hokianga and the Bay of Islands trace their descent. It is the earliest drawing of a carved storehouse known, antedating Augustus Earle's images by some three years. In style, however, it resembles others of the early nineteenth century. (Figure II) One is the famous Puawai O Te Arawa, held in the Auckland Institute and Museum, which possesses as its central figure, the canoe ancestor of Te Arawa people, Tamatekapua,4 who was also a contemporary of Kupe. Another storehouse, Te Takinga, has as its central figure, Pikiao,5 the ancestor from whom its builders, Ngatipikiao, a segment of Te Arawa living at Maketu,","PeriodicalId":51937,"journal":{"name":"NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF HISTORY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46795008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
