Time for a troll’; the standard story propping up the colonial state
This article foregrounds the contribution of the widely available standard story of New Zealand history and Pākehā race‐talk, to the social control of Māori and the naturalisation of racism. Assisted by recent studies that show how humour is variously used to encourage compliance with social norms, we focus on an item published as a newspaper column by Sir Robert Jones. The analysis shows how the piece utilises widely familiar themes and resource…
The Association of Crime Stories and Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand Print Media
This paper explores associations between crime reporting and Maori ethnicity in a large representative sample of newspaper items gathered in Aotearoa New Zealand between November 2007 and April 2008, using content, thematic and discursive analyses and audience interpretations.

Behind the Mug Shot Grin”: Uses of Madness-Talk in Reports of Loughner’s Mass Killing
There are few studies of the manner in which media portray the mental state of mass killers. There are also no formally tested frameworks or models for understanding how such portrayals contribute to the stigma of mental illness.

We identified fourteen…

We used framing analysis to interpret the role online technology plays in the reporting of the suicide even…

Numerous studies have shown that media contribute marginalizing particular ethnic and cultural groups depicting them primarily as problems for and threats to the dominant.

Tauiwi1 General Practitioners' Explanations of Maori2 Health: Colonial Relations in Primary Healthcare in Aotearoa/New Zealand
This article reports initial findings from qualitative research investigating how general practitioners talk about Maori health. Transcripts of semistructured interviews with 25 general practitioners from urban Auckland were subjected to critical discursive analyses. Through this process of intensive, analytic reading, interpretative repertoires-patterns of words and images about a particular topic-were identified. This article presents the main …
Suicidality among HIV-positive psychiatric in-patients
Rates of suicidality with HIV-infected, seriously mentally ill individuals were investigated. Fifty asymptomatic HIV-positive psychiatric in-patients were compared to a demographically-matched HIV-negative cohort. The groups were similar, except that seropositive subjects were less likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. Both groups had high rates of suicidality, with higher rates associated with non-schizophrenic diagnoses. HIV-positive subje…
