Pacific camp: Satire, silliness (and seriousness) on New Zealand television
Article Abstract:
An examination of how four New Zealand Pacific television programs namely Tali's Angels, Milburn Place, Eaten Alive and others articulated the incisive politics and guilty pleasures of camp, is presented. Pacific camp is expressed in various comedic forms of New Zealand Pacific Island screen production and makes liberal references to popular cultural iconography while it also broadly addresses the representational politics of Pacific Island imagery within the national public sphere.
