Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The singing of waiata, of songs and chants, has always been an integral part of Maori life. Today waiata are heard in formal ceremonies on marae, in business or political meetings, and at casual, social events. But their texts alone make fascinating reading as an archive of historical, cultural and tribal life. Over a period of 40 years Sir Apirana Ngata collected and recorded hundreds of songs and chants from the iwi of Aotearoa which became the four volumes of Nga Moteatea. The first three volumes included translations and annotations by Ngata and the Ngati Maniapoto scholar, Pei Te Hurinui Jones. The contents of Part IV, the fourth volume, were not available until after the deaths of Ngata and Pei. It was first published in 1990 as an edition of the Maori texts, edited by Tamati Maturangi Reedy from Ngata's manuscripts, but without translation to English. Now, for the first time, this new edition of Part IV comes with a translation of the waiata and annotations by Hirini Moko Mead, of Ngati Awa. A scholar of rare and special expertise in Maori language and culture, he has also made important additions to the annotations.The translation to English opens up to a wide readership of Maori and non-Maori, nationally and internationally, the beauty of the poetic language of the waiata and a wealth of information about historic events and cultural practices of Maori life. Features an annotated collection of waiata. Suitable to Maori and non-Maori, nationally and internationally,this title presents the beauty of the poetic language of the waiata and information about Maori life.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Dieses Büchlein zum Thema der Maori-Poesie ist aus der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Susanna Bummel-Vohland, Österreicherin und Argentinierin, die in München seit 2015 die 'Muenchner Poeterey' betreibt, und ProMosaik Poetry entstanden. Wie der Titel so schön sagt, handelt es sich hier um unvollständige Fragmente und Impulse zu einer in Europa fast verkannten Poesie.Die Poesie der Maori, ihre Ausdrucksformen und Themen wurden von Apirana Ngata (1874-1950) und James Cowan (in seinem Buch von 1930) gesammelt und ausführlich studiert und katalogisiert. Apirana Ngata war ein neuseeländischer Politiker, der sich ein Leben lang für den Schutz und die Förderung der Kultur und Sprache des Maori-Volkes und somit auch für die Erhaltung seiner Poesie einsetzte.ProMosaik Poetry sieht die Poesie als universale Sprache der menschlichen Seele. Somit finden sich bei den Maori, wie auch bei allen anderen Völkern und Traditionen, Wiegenlieder, Klagen, Satiren und Liebeslieder, die universale Themen wie Liebe, Angst, Hoffnung und menschliche Empfindungen und soziale Umgangsformen zum Ausdruck bringen.Die Maori leben nicht nur als Krieger und Segler, sondern auch als Handwerker, Künstler, Dichter und Mystiker. Ihre Poesie zeigt eine sehr starke Verbundenheit mit der Natur und den Elementen der Natur. Sie weist auch zahlreiche Bezüge zum Mythos und zum Religiösen im weitesten Sinne auf.Die Poesie der Maori ist gekennzeichnet durch eine sehr intensive symbolische Ausdruckskraft und den dauerhaften Bezug zwischen dem Gefühl des Menschen und der Kulisse der Naturkräfte, die den Menschen umgeben und bestimmen.Durch diese Poesie können wir in unserem COVID-19-Zeitalter auch über unseren verlorenen Bezug zur Natur und ihrer Kraft nachdenken.
