title: The Starlight Ballroom: A Documentary Drama From conception to production

authors: Jensen, Athene Claire

subjects: Documentary Theatre

abstract: This thesis documents the stages of development undertaken to produce The Starlight Ballroom- A documentary drama.  A play devised by drawing on documentary theatre practice and methodology.
Drawing on the literature of this genre, the thesis presents a historical perspective of the development of documentary theatre practice, from its origins in the work of Piscator through to the work of modern practitioners.  This provides the context from which I have drawn my ideology and methodology.
Definitions of documentary theatre are presented and issues regarding the authenticity and integrity of various forms of documentary theatre are discussed.  I also present a rationale for the creation of The Starlight Ballroom with reference to theoretical and practitioner influence.
The first methodology section details the scriptwriting process; providing a dramaturgical analysis of the play; and presenting a rationale supporting the choice of the particular playtext.
The second methodology section details the production process from script to performance.  This presents a description of the development of the rehearsal script during rehearsals and the development of the style and structure of the play.
The conclusion analyses the extent to which my intentions in creating The Starlight Ballroom- A documentary drama were met, and reviews areas in which further development could be applied.

title: How can we know what we think until we see what we said? A citation and citation context analysis of Karl Wieck's , 'The Social Psychology of Organizing'

authors: Anderson, Marc Howard

subjects: Karl Weick

abstract: A substantial portion of Karl Weick’s influence on organization studies is based upon his classic book The Social Psychology of Organizing (abbreviated as Organizing). A citation analysis shows the magnitude of this influence compared to five other organization studies classics, and reveals that Organizing continues to be highly cited. A citation context analysis (i.e. content analysis) of all citations to Weick (1979) in three top organization studies journals (Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, and Organization Studies) shows that 12 concepts account for 67.6% of citations to Organizing, but that the book is cited for a remarkable diversity of additional content as well. Furthermore, a consideration of differences between the concepts cited in the US journals versus Organization Studies reveals several regional differences. Finally, very few citations are critical of Organizing or involve empirical tests. These results hold a variety of implications for future research.

title: Māori education and principles of self-determination in the twenty-first century.

authors: O’Sullivan, Dominic

subjects: Maori

abstract: This paper argues that self-determination to the greatest extent possible is a legitimate aspiration for Maori people. It is argued that in education this requires a philosophical and policy response more focused on Maori autonomy than can be provided within the bicultural framework that has lately informed Maori relationships with other actors in the education arena. The paper considers the place of kohanga reo, kura kaupapa Maori and wananga in relation to broader Maori aspirations for self-determination and discusses proposals that these aspirations be furthered through the establishment of a Maori Education Authority. It is also argued that opportunities for self-determination in New Zealand are compromised by the government's unwillingness to alter a tightly controlled centralised education market to provide genuine Māori autonomy over what type of education might be available and to what end.
