ABSTRACT

In 2022, New Zealand history will shift from an optional to a compulsory subject across all levels of schooling. Teaching about New Zealand’s difficult histories has the potential to reconstitute settler-Indigenous relations to show how historical colonial injustice impacts people today, but it raises questions about whose history will be validated and taught and how settler discomfort about breaking the silences surrounding colonial violence might be addressed pedagogically. Building on scholarship in haunting, we introduce the notion of a settler colonial crypt to show how settler memory and forgetting of colonial violence can be challenged and transformed by Māori tribal memories. The introduction of difficult histories at sites of colonial violence is accompanied by the uncanny; intellectual, emotional and embodied experiences that are uncomfortable and frightening, yet stimulating and inspiring, to generate new ways of considering settler-Indigenous relations. Data from a large-scale ethnographic study exploring how different groups in New Zealand remember or forget the New Zealand Wars reveal how secondary school students were directed towards the uncanny during a field trip. The excursion demonstrates the potential for transforming understandings about how invasion and violence accompanied settlement, providing the impetus for something-to-be-done and setting the groundwork for genuine attempts at reconciliation.

摘要

到 2022 年，新西兰历史将从所有学校教育的选修科目转变为必修科目。讲授新西兰的艰难历史有可能重建定居者与原住民的关系，以展示历史上的殖民不公正如何影响今天的人们，但它提出了以下问题：谁的历史将得到验证和教授，以及定居者对打破围绕殖民暴力的沉默可能会产生何种不安教学法上解决的。在困扰学识的基础上，我们引入了定居者殖民地地下室的概念，以展示定居者的记忆和对殖民暴力的遗忘如何受到毛利部落记忆的挑战和转变。在殖民暴力的地点引入艰难的历史伴随着不可思议的；知识分子，令人不安和恐惧的情感和具体体验，但刺激和鼓舞人心，以产生考虑定居者 - 土着关系的新方法。一项大规模人种学研究的数据探索了新西兰不同群体如何记住或忘记新西兰战争，揭示了中学生在实地考察中是如何被引导到不可思议的。这次旅行展示了改变对入侵和暴力如何伴随定居点的理解的潜力，为要做的事情提供动力，并为真正的和解尝试奠定基础。一项大规模人种学研究的数据探索了新西兰不同群体如何记住或忘记新西兰战争，揭示了中学生在实地考察中是如何被引导到不可思议的。这次旅行展示了改变对入侵和暴力如何伴随定居点的理解的潜力，为要做的事情提供动力，并为真正的和解尝试奠定基础。一项大规模人种学研究的数据探索了新西兰不同群体如何记住或忘记新西兰战争，揭示了中学生在实地考察中是如何被引导到不可思议的。这次旅行展示了改变对入侵和暴力如何伴随定居点的理解的潜力，为要做的事情提供动力，并为真正的和解尝试奠定基础。
