From anxiety to insight : the process of formulating a methodology in practice : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at Massey University

Anthropologists do not have a Methodology that acknowledges their subjective experience during fieldwork, as scientific data. Yet an accurate presentation of Anthropology as a science, depends on inclusion of the person (ality) of the Anthropologist. This anomaly is both, the doorway to the creative element that defines Anthropology as a unique discipline in the Humanities, and the stumbling block of science in the twentieth century. George Devereux, a French Anthropologist and psychotherapist, initially explored the dimensions of this problem in the 1930's. His dual career enabled him to envisage a model, in which the anthropologist's integral part in the fieldwork was acknowledged. Although he recorded the development of this model during fieldwork around 1935, it remained unpublished till 1967, and is still largely unknown in the Humanities. The potential value has yet to be explored in the fieldwork situation. The primary aim of this thesis, is to record the experiential process of formulating a Methodology in the practice of fieldwork, using the key concept Devereux proposed: "the subjectivity inherent in all observation is the road to an authentic, rather than fictitious objectivity".(1967). Within the Scientific tradition, Methodology has been regarded as a prescription for doing fieldwork, rather than a distincitve tool for creating this unique basis of Anthropology. The challenge has been to identify the double bind this causes, between theory and practice, and to present a new approach to Methodology, that offers a practical way of being an Anthropologist. The person whose presence, in the final result, is critical if Anthropology is to reflect what it proposes to explore - the essence of humanity in a scientific manner

Virtual cities management and organisation

This paper presents a recent overview of the increasing use of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies for the simulation of urban environments. It builds on previous research conducted on the identification of three-dimensional (3D) city models and offers an analysis of the development, utilization and construction of VR city models. Issues pertaining to advantages, barriers and ownership are identified. The paper describes a case study of the development of a VR model for the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK and outlines the role that academic institutions can play in both the creation and utilization of urban models. The study offers a new approach for the creation, management and update of urban models and reflects on issues which are emerging. Areas for future research are discussed

The South in Young Adult Literature: Behind Southern Stereotypes

The United States South has a long, complicated history, and some of its stories have not had the opportunity to be shared. Because of the ways in which the region has been represented stereotypically, many Americans have a misinformed perspective on what it means to live as a Southerner. Due in part to a lack of diversity in the publishing industry, a common phenomenon has been the retelling of the white man and his experiences within the region, as “89% of authors that were published in 2018 were white” (So & Wezerek). Yet because of editorial changes within the last decade and a push to diversify the literary marketplace, there is now an influx of inclusive and diverse stories that are deserving to be shared to the public. Inclusive young adult novels by authors such as Arkansas resident Kate Hart show how the representation of the U.S. South has changed. Her work, as seen in novels such as After The Fall (2017), reflects a diverse, complicated South. Moreover, it confronts sexual assault and recovery in frank terms. Through reading authors such as Hart, readers have the opportunity to read narratives that showcase multiculturality in the region and highlight contemporary social issues that southerners, including Arkansans, experience: racial discrimination, sexual identity discrimination, sexual assault, and gun violence. Because YA novels –like Dear Martin, Ramona Blue, After the Fall, and This Is Where It Ends– are being written to illustrate the contemporary U.S. South, it is important for young readers to engage in meaningful conversations about what is being published. It is fundamental that texts concerning Southern regionalism be incorporated into secondary education curricula in Arkansas, as it is vital that students interact with texts that make them feel represented. For this reason, the project reveals the importance of incorporating education regarding regionalism and regional identity when choosing classroom texts to best fit the needs of students, specifically Arkansan students. With this goal in mind, I provide a historical context to the major themes that are included in each novel I analyze (race discrimination, sexual identity discrimination, sexual assault, and gun violence). I also include literary reviews and readers’ responses about the texts I analyze to highlight the importance of creating a more inclusive and representative classroom environment for schools in the state of Arkansas. Through my research and grant funding, I interviewed Kate Hart, author of After The Fall, to uncover her reasons and motivations for portraying the region from a contemporary perspective. I also interviewed three teachers across the state of Arkansas, from Cabot, Genoa, and Greenland, concerning their opinions about regional representation within the texts they are assigned to teach. I received feedback from the three teachers concerning their opinions regarding how they see their students interacting with the chosen texts within the classroom. My overall goal for the project is to show the importance of highlighting equal representation in Secondary English classrooms while incorporating regional texts highlighting the contemporary South in classroom settings for more inclusive pedagogy
