@article{Ramstad_2012, title={<i>Once were Warriors</i> – a Model that Matters and a Mirror of Concerns}, url={https://septentrio.uit.no/index.php/nordlit/article/view/2374}, DOI={10.7557/13.2374}, abstractNote={&lt;div&gt;In &amp;nbsp;this &amp;nbsp;article, &amp;nbsp;I &amp;nbsp;will &amp;nbsp;focus &amp;nbsp;on &amp;nbsp;connections &amp;nbsp;between &amp;nbsp;media, &amp;nbsp;culture and society &amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;order to understand two prototypical Maori responses to the film. The two kinds of&amp;nbsp;responses are captured in the following phrases: &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;The film should never have been&amp;nbsp;made&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s not fiction, that&amp;rsquo;s reality&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rdquo;. One of my objectives is to show how&amp;nbsp;these particular Maori responses to this fiction-film are entangled with deep concerns&amp;nbsp;about &amp;nbsp;ethnic &amp;nbsp;policies &amp;nbsp;and marginalization &amp;nbsp;in &amp;nbsp;general. &amp;nbsp;In &amp;nbsp;other &amp;nbsp;words, &amp;nbsp;the &amp;nbsp;film &amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;explored &amp;nbsp;as &amp;nbsp;a statement &amp;nbsp;about &amp;nbsp;Maori &amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash; &amp;nbsp;Pakeha &amp;nbsp;inter-ethnic &amp;nbsp;relations &amp;nbsp;and &amp;lsquo;biculturalism&amp;rsquo;, which is the official term for the political &amp;nbsp;vision of the post-colonial&amp;nbsp;nation. Subsequently, my analysis suggests insights from a deeper concern about the&amp;nbsp;contexts &amp;nbsp;that &amp;nbsp;contribute &amp;nbsp;to &amp;nbsp;these &amp;nbsp;particular &amp;nbsp;Maori formulations &amp;nbsp;of &amp;nbsp;media-reality&amp;nbsp;configurations, in addition to lessons of a more general character.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;}, number={30}, journal={Nordlit}, author={Ramstad, Jorun Bræck}, year={2012}, month={Oct.}, pages={87–109} }
