Girl of New Zealand: Colonial Optics in Aotearoa: Critical Issues in Indigenous Studies
Autor Michelle Eraien Paperback – 19 mai 2020
Viewed through Māori, feminist, queer, and film theories, Erai shows how images such asGirl of New Zealand(1793) and later images, cartoons, and travel advertising created and deployed a colonial optic.Girl of New Zealandreveals how the phantasm of the Māori woman has shown up in historical images, how such images shape our imagination, and how impossible it has become to maintain the delusion of the “innocent eye.” Erai argues that the process of ascribing race, gender, sexuality, and class to imagined bodies can itself be a kind of violence.
In the wake of the Me Too movement and other feminist projects, Erai’s timely analysis speaks to the historical foundations of negative attitudes toward Indigenous Māori women in the eyes of colonial “others”—outsiders from elsewhere who reflected their own desires and fears in their representations of the Indigenous inhabitants of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Erai resurrects Māori women from objectification and locates them firmly within Māori whānau and communities.

“Girl
of
New
Zealandpresents
a
nuanced
insight
into
the
ways
in
which
violence
and
colonial
looking
shaped
the
representation
of
Maori
women
and
girls.
Erai
focuses
on
eight
different
depictions
to
think
through
the
effects
that
colonial
violence
had
on
their
construction
and
reception.
In
this
way
the
author
resurrects
these
women
from
objectification
to
being
firmly
located
within
Maori
whanau
and
communities.”—Ngarino
