Abstract
Like many adolescents, young Māori between the ages of 14-16 years are learning to explore and articulate the rhythms of their social worlds.
The symbolic rhythms embedded in their narratives form part of the richly textured undercurrent of meaning that they will acquire and manipulate throughout their lives. These meanings influence their understanding of their social environment, and their citizenship of (or exclusion from) their own cultural landscapes.
Visual Representations
Using visual data collection methods, the study aims to 'map' or document the social territories of young people living in four Māori communities across New Zealand.
Visual representations and texts, supplemented with interviews, form the basis of a sociological analysis of young Māori and the problem of citizenship.
