  1. The Role of Cultural Diffusion in Creating Kiwi Culture: The Role of Rugby • Forms of Cultural Diffusion • Spread of Rugby • Combining Cultures • Page 32-33 / Cornell Notes

  2. EHS 7300 miles

  3. New Zealand-Polynesia

  4. Cultural diffusion • Spatial spread of learned ideas, innovations, and attitudes. • Each cultural element originates in one or more places and then spreads. • Some spread widely, others remain confined to an area of origin.

  5. Barriers to diffusion • Absorbing barriers completely halt diffusion. • Can be political, economic, cultural, technological • More commonly barriers are permeable, allowing part of the innovation wave to diffuse, but acting to weaken and retard the continued spread.

  6. Expansion diffusion • Culture/Ideas spread throughout a population from area to area. • Subtypes: • Hierarchical diffusion: ideas leapfrog from one node to another temporarily bypassing some • Contagious diffusion: wavelike, like disease • Stimulus diffusion: specific trait rejected, but idea accepted • Relocation diffusion occurs when individuals migrate to a new location carrying new ideas or practices with them

  7. Cultural diffusion

  8. Combining A Diffused Cultural Trait With A Local/Native Cultural Trait: The Haka

  9. Football (rugby league) Football (soccer) Football (rugby) Football (rugby union) Football (Australian Rules Football) Football (American Football)

  10. THE HAKA Haka is the generic name for all Maori dance and is an expression of the passion, vigor and identity of the race. Two styles of the Haka: • Peruperu is the style for true war dance involving weapons. • Taparahi is not a war dance as weapons are not involved.

  11. THE HAKA Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!Tenei te tangata puhuru huruNana nei i tiki maiWhakawhiti te raA upa … ne! ka upa … ne!A upane kaupane whiti te ra!Hi! I die! I die! I live! I live!I die! I die! I live! I live!This is the hairy manWho fetched the SunAnd caused it to shine againOne upward step! Another upward step!An upward step, another … the Sun shines! 1884 - A New Zealand team in New South Wales used a Maori war cry to introduce itself to its opponents before each of its matches. A Sydney newspaper reported: "The sound given in good time and union by 18 pairs of powerful lungs was sometimes tremendous. The NSW men declared it was hardly fair of the visitors to frighten them out of their wits before the game began."

  12. Videos of the Haka • History of the Haka • France / All Blacks • Tonga / All Blacks • Eaglecrest High school • Who sponsors the All Blacks?So What and Why? • Why does EHS have a Haka? • What role does “Space Time Compression” have on and diffusion?

  13. Rugby’s Impact on Life

  14. Other Cultural Influences on Rugby

  15. Recap • Cultural diffusion is the spatial spread of learned ideas, innovations, and attitudes. • Barriers to diffusion can include absorbing barriers which completely halt diffusion or more commonly barriers are permeable. • Diffusion takes many forms: • Expansion • Hierarchical diffusion • Contagious diffusion • Stimulus diffusion • Relocation diffusion

  16. What happens when cultures come in contact with each other? • Nothing • Sharing of ideas • Combining of ideas • Diffusion • Conflict

  17. Diffusion - Two related concepts 1. The two-way blending of cultures that results from increased interaction is calledcultural convergence 2. The fusion of two distinctive cultural traits into a unique new hybrid trait is calledsyncretism

  18. Syncretism • A new cultural trait created by the fusion of two distinct cultural element.

  19. Acculturation & Assimilation • Acculturation-Modification or change when one cultural group adopts traits of a dominate culture. Speak English at school, Spanish at home. • Assimilation – minority culture completely adopts the culture of the host society.
