Collaborative Strategies for Re-Enhancing Hapƫ Connections to Lands and Making Changes with Our Climate
Since 1996, considerable challenges have faced hapĆ« in terms of ecosystem decline in lands and waterways within southwestern coastal MÄori lands from the Horowhenua to KÄpiti regions of Te Ika a Maui / North Island, Aotearoa New Zealand. The rationales for hapĆ« re-enhancing intergenerational connections to their lands have required culturally led, collaborative, innovative, solutions- focused, and transformative actions to reinstate well-being to areas of cultural and natural value. Beginning with the project âManaaki Taha Moana: Enhancing Coastal Ecosystems for Iwi and HapĆ«â (2010 â2015), hapĆ« have collaborated with specialists to cocreate new frameworks for addressing short-term issues and long-term impacts of sea-level rise, leading to the âAdaptation Strategies for Climate Change for Coastal MÄori Communitiesâ project (2015â2017). Build- ing on MÄori methods such as wÄnanga, hui, and hÄ«koi, these approaches have strengthened localized cultural knowledge of place as the lens through which climate change and fluvial geomorphology sciences can be viewed. Developed design scenarios have encouraged beneficial relationships between culture, settle- ment form, ecologies, economies, and farming practices in order to better prepare MÄori communities for the ecological and socioeconomic impacts of climate change. Art and design have helped bridge MÄori culture, sciences, and com- munitiesâ understanding of complex data within university-based and curated exhibitions. The latest project, âRisk Management Planning for Climate Change Impacts on MÄori Coastal Ecosystems and Economiesâ (2017â2019), envisages integrative decision-making tools to enable more coastal MÄori landholders to assess the risks and benefits associated with alternative coastal land uses and economies
Da artificação do sagrado nos museus: entre o teatro e a sacralidade
From the anthropological perspective, extending the notion of performance from the arts and the ritual context to virtually all forms of human action, different kinds of museums present different performances involving both an actor and the audience. This paper, aiming to study the museal performance in the French case, investigates the processes of artification of religious objects in museums, taking into consideration two case studies: a visit to the ĂcomusĂ©e dâAlsace, where religion is associated with the arts and folk traditions to evoke the local identity; and the study of the short-term exhibition MĂŁori. Leurs trĂ©sors ont une Ăąme , at the MusĂ©e du quai Branly , in Paris, in which some kind of self-musealization is experienced, with sacred objects from the maori culture
