Resumo

A virada para epistemologias indígenas é uma das mudanças mais emocionantes e revolucionárias que aconteceram na universidade nas últimas três décadas e está acelerando sua influência em Aotearoa, Nova Zelândia. Traz consigo novas formas dinâmicas de pensar sobre a pesquisa e novas metodologias para conduzi-la, uma maior conscientização sobre os diferentes tipos de conhecimento que a prática indígena pode transmitir e um corpo esclarecedor de informações sobre o processo criativo. A prática indígena fornece acesso a outras formas de conhecimento e abordagens alternativas para conduzir e apresentar o conhecimento. Este artigo discute um projeto Māori neste contexto, que visa desafiar os indígenas a (re)avaliar as práticas ambientalmente prejudiciais pós-coloniais no espaço da morte. O projeto explora o conceito de atitudes rangatahi (jovens Māori) para revitalizar as antigas práticas de morte Māori para informar o desenvolvimento da intervenção de design destinada a desafiar as práticas coloniais mortuárias. Como tal, faz parte de uma pesquisa maior apoiada pelo Marsden Fund da Royal Society of New Zealand. O resultado do projeto inclui o design de um moderno local de comemoração de urupā tautaiao (enterro natural), aplicando tecnologia como plataformas tribais de mídia social sobre a morte e mapeamento GPS de wāhi tapu (locais sagrados). A morte é altamente tapu (sagrado) para Māori e requer observação rigorosa de rituais para garantir a segurança espiritual. A revitalização dos saberes tribais não é prerrogativa apenas dos mais velhos, as vozes dos jovens indígenas devem ser ouvidas porque são o futuro, do planeta e das pessoas. Este projeto contribui para a compreensão de pesquisas que navegam por fronteiras filosóficas, intergeracionais, territoriais e comunitárias, evidenciando teorias e metodologias que informam os estudos culturais e a prática criativa.

Biografia do Autor

Kathleen Frewen, Auckland University of Technology

A pesquisa e o ensino de Kathleen na academia são conduzidos por kaupapa Māori, simultaneamente entrelaçados com as sementes de sua origem rural de base.

Hinematau McNeill, Auckland University of Technology

Hinematau está ativamente envolvida nas comunidades Māori, o que informa sua prática de pesquisa. Recentemente, seu interesse pela pesquisa orientada para a prática artística revigorou seu trabalho de pós-graduação. Ela acredita que quando o conhecimento indígena é verdadeiramente valorizado, não é apenas uma força descolonizadora, mas pode enriquecer nossa experiência coletiva de vida.
