Kearns, R.  Constructing (Bi)cultural Geographies: Research on, and with, People of the Hokianga District. 
A decade of interest and involvement in health service provision in the Hokianga district provides the opportunity to reflect critically on issues of research practice.  The bicultural character of this district has promoted a (re)forming of research relations through an acknowledgement of embodiment and positioning as well as through the selective recasting of the research process through inclusion of concepts from te reo Maori.

McClean, R, LD Berg & MM Roche.  Responsible Geographies: Co-creating Knowledge in Aotearoa. 
We examine in this paper the potential for (re)forming the relations of social scientific research in Aotearoa.  Drawing upon our experience of undertaking historical geographical research with and for Ngati-Toa Rangatira, we argue for the need to develop responsible geographies in Aotearoa.  We suggest that the metaphors of 'crossing borders' and 'building structures' might offer one route into the development of such a responsible geography.

Pawson, E.  Branding Strategies and Languages of Consumption. 
This article seeks to contribute to the limited literature on languages of consumption by focusing on the ways in which brands help to articulate the relationships between producers and consumers.  A particular theme is the invention and exploitation of identities of place employed in branding strategies.  This is illustrated by case studies of 'clean, green' New Zealand, and of corporate branding activities in the brewing and wine making industries.

Law, R.  Masculinity, Place, and Beer Advertising in New Zealand: The Southern Man Campaign. 
The 'Southern Man' advertising campaign for Speight's beer mobilizes imagery of the South Island High Country to present a particular construction of masculine identity.  The paper examines the background to the campaign and explores the meaning and impact of the advertisements.

Johnston, L.  Queen(s') Street or Ponsonby Poofters? Embodied HERO Parade Sites. 
In this paper I highlight some spatial and body politics of the HERO parade, Aotearoa/New Zealand's biggest gay pride parade.  The proposed site change of the HERO parade, from Queen St to Ponsonby Road, was debated at length in local newspapers.  This debate can be theorised as contingent on western hierarchical dualisms such as mind/body, public/private, straight/gay.  I offer an embodied geography through a focus on the constitutive relationship between bodies and places.

Longhurst, R.  'Going Nuts': Re-presenting Pregnant Women. 
This paper is based mainly on the stories of 31 women who were living in Hamilton, Aotearoa/New Zealand between 1992 and 1994 and were pregnant for the first time.  The majority of these women claimed that they tended to withdraw from public places (for example, night clubs, bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes) and from public activities (for example, sport, leisure, and paid employment) as their pregnancy progressed.  I argue that this withdrawal can, at least in part, be linked to a discourse that suggests pregnant women are 'overly' emotional, irrational and frequently forget things.  Their bodily and mental 'difference' is naturalised through discourse and used to disqualify them from stepping 'objectively' and 'dispassionately' into the public sphere and engaging in 'public affairs'.

Wall, M. Stereotypical Constructions of the Maori 'Race' in the Media. 
Since the colonisation of Aotearoa/New Zealand by Pakeha, Maori have been stereotypically imagined as the Black Other.  One of the principal mechanisms for the continued perpetuation of this racialised discourse is the representation of 'race' through stereotypes in the media.  'New' cultural geography provides a theoretical foundation to interrogate stereotypical (re)formations of Maori identity.  I conclude that the use of the stereotype in the (re)formation of Maori identity further demarcates and constrains Maori within the perennial position of the Black Other.  Only through a retheorisation of difference (which moves beyond the construction of the Maori 'race' through stereotypes), can the impact of racialisation be effectively resisted.
