Kiwiana Month Talk - In Praise of Kiwiana!

Restrictions: All Ages
Website:
Listed by: Canterbury Museum
Richard Wolfe will talk about ‘New Zealand! New Zealand! In Praise of Kiwiana’ - the first book on Kiwiana undertaken with co-author Stephen Barnett and published in 1989. He will look at this country ‘before’ Kiwiana, and how interest in our own brand of popular culture has grown and developed in the last quarter century. He will examine what Kiwiana says about New Zealanders, and how it might distinguish us from other nationalities. He will also reveal what he likes – and doesn’t like – about Kiwiana, and illustrate his talk with some classic examples of the genre.
