Session 3: Who is here?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tasks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Watch Series 1 Episode 1 of “Artefact” from M\u0101ori Television:
    https:\/\/www.maoritelevision.com\/shows\/artefact\/S01E001\/artefact-series-1-episode-1<\/a><\/li>
  2. Read Richard Sennett article ‘On making’.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Questions to respond to<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. What ‘worldviews’ are encountered in the Artefact episode?<\/li>
    2. Identify different ways in which information and knowledge are shared and transferred. Refer to specific examples shown in the video.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Worldviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      There were a number of worldviews represented in the show, primarily but not solely centred on M\u0101ori and Western ways of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Navigation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Western approaches to navigation are Science-based and use a systematic framework, laws, rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pacific peoples place the navigator at the centre, with a deep understanding of stars and their positions, currents, wind patterns, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Like a 13th Century navigator from the Pacific in, an 17th Century Western navigator would still using the sun, moon, and stars to navigate. The difference is that the Western navigator would be using a chronometer to obtain Greenwich time, and a sextant as a tool to make accurate celestial observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
