title: Une lettre du père Petit-Jean, missionnaire français mariste en Nouvelle-Zélande: Traduction commentée et étude historique

authors: Calder, Lynley

subjects: Marist

abstract: Ce mémoire est en trois parties : d’abord une traduction d’une lettre de Jean-Baptiste Petit-Jean, missionnaire mariste en Nouvelle-Zélande à Jean-Claude Colin, son supérieur-général en France du 11 décembre 1841 ; ensuite un commentaire de traduction qui considère la méthodologie de la traduction directe et la traduction oblique avec des exemples de problèmes rencontrés pendant la traduction de la lettre de Petit-Jean ; finalement, l’étude historique considérera les débats religieux entre les maristes et missionnaires protestants en Nouvelle-Zélande entre 1838 et 1850. Nous examinerons les raisons pour ces débats et montrons que les débats étaient plus importants pour les maristes puisqu’ils leur mirent sur un pied d’égalité avec les protestants devant les Māori. 

This thesis is divided into three parts: firstly a translation of a letter written by Jean-Baptiste Petit-Jean, Marist missionary in New Zealand to Jean-Claude Colin, his Superior General in France, dated 11 December 1841; afterwards there is a translation commentary which looks at the methodology of direct and oblique translation with examples of problems encountered while translating Petit-Jean's letter; lastly, there is the historical commentary, which examines the religious debates between the Marists and Protestant missionaries in New Zealand between 1838 and 1850. It examines some of the reasons for these debates and shows why the debates were more important to the Marists, giving them an equal footing with Protestant missionaries when in all other areas they were disadvantaged.

title: What to look for in energy efficiency policy

authors: Barton, Barry

subjects: energy efficiency policy

abstract: Some energy and climate change stories are easier to tell than others. Electric vehicles and renewable energy are easy to talk about as elements of an energy transition to a low-carbon future. Energy efficiency is harder, and that’s a paradox, because it offers some of the most rapid, permanent, and profitable ways to make progress in greening our way of life. So it is pleasing to hear that the government has started a policy refresh on the subject. Here’s a list of the features we should look for in good energy efficiency policy.

title: Piahana Hou: a Ngati Rahiri rangatira

authors: Hart, Philip

abstract: Piahana Hou, as the half-brother of Karauna Hou, had an illustrious ancestry, but to Pakeha he was known as, briefly, the skipper of a river steamer and, for most of his life, as a labourer. His interests in several blocks of land enabled him to obtain money through selling some of his holdings, but he never became prosperous. He had minimal involvement in mining at Te Aroha.
Piahana came to prominence not as a rangatira but as a drunk, who was even involved in a bar fight at Te Aroha. Despite this weakness, his high status meant that hundreds attended his splendid tangi. Unlike some other rangatira, he did not use his status to play an important role in either Maori or Pakeha society.
