title: Pedalling on: An autoethnographical journey of creative discovery

authors: Dunlop, Jonathan

abstract: My research is about exploring ways to use the sustain pedal in works by CPE Bach, JC Bach, 
Haydn and Mozart specifically. During their lifetimes, pedalling was considered to be a novelty 
on the fortepiano and was not seriously notated in the detailed style of later composers such as 
Beethoven and Schumann. 

The thesis explores ways to use the sustain pedal in keyboard works by CPE Bach, JC Bach, 
Haydn and Mozart, and also early Romantic Period composers like Beethoven, Schumann and 
Schubert. This artistic exploration is shaped and documented using an autoethnographic 
methodology, and the repertoire showcased in each recital is a mix of solo and chamber music. 
At the centre of this research is Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s treatise on keyboard playing 
entitled Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments from 1753. In it, Bach states 
that “the undamped register of the pianoforte is the most pleasing and, once the performer 
learns to observe the necessary precautions in the face of its reverberations, the most delightful 
for improvisation.

title: The impacts of liquor outlets in Manukau City: Summary report

authors: Cameron, Michael Patrick

subjects: liquor outlets

abstract: There has been significant recent debate over the impact of liquor outlets on communities in New Zealand. This report summarises the key results from a research project undertaken between 2008 and 2010. Media analysis and research with community stakeholders confirm that the issue is a focus of concern among communities in New Zealand. In Manukau City, off-licence liquor outlets tend to be located in areas of high social deprivation and high population density, while on-licence liquor outlets tend to be located in main centres and areas of high amenity value. Higher off-licence density is associated with lower alcohol prices and longer opening hours. The density of both off-licence and onlicence liquor outlets is associated with a range of social harms, including various police events and motor vehicle accidents. However, these results are context specific and care should be taken in applying them to other locations.

title: Claiming spaces: Maori (indigenous persons) making the invalid valid

authors: Hickey, Huhana

subjects: Maori

abstract: Identity is a shifting paradigm because of the constant movement between identities throughout our lives, depending on the context within which we are identifying ourselves. Once we identify, we place ourselves within a certain construct. When positioning within identity labels, multiplicitous experiences of marginalisation need to be accounted for in clarifying identity frameworks. Barile (2000) asserts that it is the multiple minority status of persons of minority ethnic identity with disabilities that positions them into multiple minority discriminatory experiences with greater limitations and discrimination than those with a single minority status identity. Barile (2000) also asserts that it challenges ethnic minority people with disabilities who work collectively and as a group where they are forced to work as individuals, often in isolation from their ethnic and cultural communities.
