ABSTRACT

This article discusses the place of Mana Wahine theory in decolonising gender relationships in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Mana wahine theory is grounded upon and informed by Māori language, practices, protocol and knowledge forms. It is through this lens that we are able more deeply come to understand and theorise issues faced by Māori women and in doing so to reclaim and reassert our place on our own lands. This is both a movement and a theory that has at its centre the resurgence and reaffirmation of the mana of Māori women, past, present and future.

Mana Wahine：Aotearoa 的非殖民化性别

摘要

本文讨论了 Mana Wahine 理论在 Aotearoa（新西兰）非殖民化性别关系中的地位。Mana wahine 理论以毛利语、实践、礼节和知识形式为基础并受其启发。正是通过这个镜头，我们才能更深入地理解和理论化毛利妇女面临的问题，并以此来夺回和重新确立我们在自己土地上的地位。这既是一场运动，也是一种理论，其核心是对毛利妇女过去、现在和未来的法力的复兴和重申。
