Toponymy: positionality and containment on New Zealand high country stations
I examine the discursive practice of naming and its use as a way of dividing up the landscape to designate location and create meaningful spaces, as well as to understand high country people"s conception and construction of place. In this analysis, an array of materials is used, including geological maps, resource surveys, and high country inhabitants" vernacular categories. The semiotic qualities of narratives are elicited by transforming boundary talk into cognitive components. In the high country of the South Island of New Zealand, social cartography is measured from the homestead; directionality is more important than altitude. Ways of talking about place specify not only location, but also use and belonging.I catalogue these names and map the place to hold them still. Maurice Gee (Sole Survivor 1983, cited in McNaughton 1986, p.277)
