Strategic Research Scholarship: Archiving the Past: New Zealand’s  
National Identity and the Moving Image



The Film and Media Studies Programmes, School of English, Film,  
Theatre, and Media Studies, propose a Strategic Research Scholarship  
for a PhD project in conjunction with The New Zealand Film Archive in  
Wellington, New Zealand, which offers the opportunity for innovative  
and nationally important archival work. The specific focus of the  
archival research will be on the issue of imaging or representing  
National Identity in relation to Place, Space, Cultural and Political  
Identity. Suggested areas of focus may include, but are not  
restricted to:



Archiving the Past: An Exploration of National/Maori Identity in Film  
and Television in New Zealand.

Destination New Zealand: Archival Research into the Cinematic  
Representation of Landscape, Place and People.

Documenting the Past: Archival Research into the New Zealand  
Documentary.

The Domestic Past: An Analysis of the importance of Home Movies to  
the Imagined Community of New Zealand.

The Family as Represented in New Zealand Private Film and Video  
Collections.



Applicants are expected to have a first class honours degree (or  
equivalent) and skills and research experience appropriate for the  
topic. The scholarship is valued at $20,000 plus a contribution to  
tuition fees. Students from New Zealand and overseas are encouraged  
to apply.



The closing date for applications is 17 July 2006
