ABSTRACT

In New Zealand, camping is a popular accommodation alternative when touring through its islands. The Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2011 is, to date, the largest event ever hosted in the country, and it redefined the way the authorities approach camping. In preparation for the RWC, special legislation was crafted to guarantee the right to practice ‘freedom camping’ while reducing the annoyance associated with doing so for the hosting communities. Counter to the original objective, these regulations ended up intensifying mobility restrictions. Framed against the theory of exception, this paper uses a spatial narrative to analyse the historical development of camping regulations in the country. The paper reveals the role of the RWC as one of a few catalysts that have refined the operation of a long-standing network of camp-spaces efficiently managing mobility through New Zealand's large and sparsely populated territory, since its colonial origin.

摘要

在新西兰，露营是游览其岛屿时受欢迎的住宿选择。2011 年橄榄球世界杯 (RWC) 是迄今为止在该国举办的最大规模的赛事，它重新定义了当局处理露营的方式。在为 RWC 做准备的过程中，制定了特别立法，以保证实践“自由露营”的权利，同时减少与主办社区相关的烦恼。与最初的目标背道而驰的是，这些规定最终加强了流动限制。本文以例外论为框架，以空间叙事的方式分析了该国野营规定的历史发展。
