What Lieutenant Cooper did in his summer holidays!

from Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries · host Auckland Libraries

Last year linguist Susan Verran and historian David Verran transcribed the journals of Isaac Rhodes Cooper, which he wrote in the 1850s. In this talk, Susan and David describe the challenges of transcribing the young British officer’s journals and what they learned about Cooper's several excursions around the upper north island (from Taupō to the Bay of Islands). The original journals(NZMS 56a)are available to view online: https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/search/searchterm/Isaac%20Rhodes%20Cooper Isaac Rhodes Cooper later used these accounts as the basis for his book ‘The New Zealand settlers guide' with a digest of the constitution and land regulations: https://discover.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/search/card?id=7b431bc2-a2f4-58f5-9a39-c55ee42c3066&entityType=FormatGroup Image: Isaac Rhodes Cooper sketch of Auckland Province.

Together they looked at the history behind Ghibli's films (including Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke), and got a critical perspective from Jake as a first-time viewer. They covered all of Studio Ghibli's films, visited Japan on the ultimate Ghibli pilgrimage, and have since interviewed artists, animators and filmmakers who have either worked on or have been deeply inspired by Ghibli's films. With their co-host Steph Watts, they have also branched out to cover filmographies of other studios and filmmakers whose work has revolutionised animation, from Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Hosoda to Cartoon Saloon and Henry Selick.Where will we go next?
