Narrative Justice: Somebody Delivers The Answers That Police Will Not, Neroli Price
Narrative Justice: Somebody Delivers The Answers That Police Will Not, Neroli Price
RadioDoc Review
By investigating Courtney Copeland’s 2016 murder, the podcast series Somebody (2020) does the work that should be done by police. Narrated by Courtney’s mom, Shapearl Wells, the series not only decentres the official police narrative, but also opens up alternative paths towards seeking justice. Situated within the Black Lives Matter movement, calls to defund the police and questions about the usefulness of “objectivity” in journalism, Somebody attempts to put systemic violence on trial and hold those in power to account. Challenging extractive forms of journalism, Somebody moves towards a model of shared authority between producers and their sources. This review …
Tools Of Rescue: A Review Of Silencio Para Rescatar: Documental Sonoro, Sonia Robles
Tools Of Rescue: A Review Of Silencio Para Rescatar: Documental Sonoro, Sonia Robles
RadioDoc Review
In this audio documentary, Mexican cultural promoter and sound artist Abraham Chavelas recounts rescue activities in which he took part after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake rattled Mexico on 19 September 2017. Answering a call for help, Chavelas was assigned to a collapsed factory where an unknown number of undocumented Asian and Central American women working as seamstresses were trapped under the rubble. For two days, he aided rescue efforts by using a high-tech microphone to help determine whether or not there was life under piles of concrete, glass and debris. Chavelas used the audio he gathered before the Mexican Marines …
Mysteries Solved And Unsolved In The Search For The Missing Cryptoqueen, Claudia Calhoun
Mysteries Solved And Unsolved In The Search For The Missing Cryptoqueen, Claudia Calhoun
RadioDoc Review
The Missing Cryptoqueen, produced for BBC Sounds by Jamie Bartlett and Georgia Catt, investigates the cryptocurrency scam fronted by Dr. Ruja Ignatova, self-described “cryptoqueen.” The series benefits from the engrossing complexity of a sprawling conspiracy: The podcasters travel across continents to find both the scammers and their victims, making important stops in the U.K., Germany, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, and Uganda. The series also benefits from its own breathless narration, which keeps listeners in the present-tense of the storytelling. This was an especially compelling series for the large audience who listened as the weekly episodes were released, as the series integrated …
Animals In Drama And Theatrical Performance: Anthropocentric Emotionalism, Peta Tait
Animals In Drama And Theatrical Performance: Anthropocentric Emotionalism, Peta Tait
Animal Studies Journal
This article outlines how nonhuman animals are framed by the emotions of drama, theatre and contemporary performance and considers a distinctive tradition in western culture of enacting animal characters who function as surrogate humans. It argues that, contradictorily, while animal characters confirm anthropocentric emotionalism, drama also contains pro-animal values and concern for animal welfare. Animals embodying emotions in theatrical languages are part of the way animals are used in the traditions of western culture and to think and philosophize with, but they also indicate thinking about the emotions in theatrical performance. The article considers if, however, staging living animals can …

Really Real And Virtually Real: Celebrating The Works Of Bert Flugelman, Michael K. Organ, Grant C. White, Karen L. Illesca, Nathan L. Riggir, Phillippa J. Webb
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
University of Wollongong Library's Wry ARTificer exhibition, featuring the work of Bert Flugelman, blended physical and virtual environments as a practical showcase of the organisation's digital capabilities. A range of technologies were utilised, including the Microsoft Hololens augmented reality platform and 3D digitisation and modelling techniques. The exhibition stimulated collaboration between diverse communities of practice, including curators, archivists, learning technologists, software developers and librarians, to deliver an exciting and innovative interpretation of Flugelman's life and work.
Digital Journeys @ Uow Australia: From Digital Dexterities To Digital Humanities And Beyond, Renée C. Grant, Michael Organ
Digital Journeys @ Uow Australia: From Digital Dexterities To Digital Humanities And Beyond, Renée C. Grant, Michael Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
In 2018, the University of Wollongong (UOW) launched The Future-Ready Library strategy. The inevitable question arose: How does one become ‘future-ready’? The answer lies, in part, in proactively engaging with evolving technologies and improving individual staff digital dexterities. Coinciding with release of The Future-Ready Library strategy, the Digital Literacy Workplace Program was put in place to foster upskilling opportunities for Library staff. One of the outcomes of this program was the creation of a local Digital Humanities Community of Practice in 2018. This article focuses on the transformative journey of the Community of Practice in developing staff digital dexterity through …
Economic Cognitive Institutions, Enrico Petracca, Shaun Gallagher
Economic Cognitive Institutions, Enrico Petracca, Shaun Gallagher
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Copyright © Millennium Economics Ltd 2020. This paper introduces the notion of 'cognitive' institution and discusses its relevance to institutional economics. Cognitive institutions are conceptually founded on the philosophy of mind notion of extended mind, broadened to also include the distinctly social, institutional, and normative dimensions. Cognitive institutions are defined as institutions that not just allow agents to perform certain cognitive processes in the social domain but, more importantly, without which some of the agents' cognitive processes would not exist or even be possible. The externalist point of view of the extended mind has already had some influence in institutional …

A heavily disguised Phryne (Essie Davis) is racing through the streets of Palestine, pursued by armed men. Excitement mounts. Having athletically eluded all attempts to capture her, Phryne sheds her indigo robes to emerge in a sparkling gold dress framed against the skyline like the superhero she has indubitably become.

Isolation is a common theme in cinema: stranded on an island (Cast Away), in space (Gravity or The Martian), on a boat (Life of Pi), stuck in the desert (127 hours), or simply confined to an apartment (Rear Window). But what about when the filmmakers themselves are stranded?
Anchoring Know-How: Action, Affordance, And Anticipation, Shaun Gallagher, Benjamin Aguda
Anchoring Know-How: Action, Affordance, And Anticipation, Shaun Gallagher, Benjamin Aguda
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
© 2020, Imprint Academic. All rights reserved. Action is always situated, always tied to specific contexts, and this is the case with respect to both the non-conscious — and largely subpersonal — processes or mechanisms that make action possible, and the person-level — and sometimes conscious — aspects of action that make action more than mere behaviour. According to one theory about the kind of know-how that we require to do what we do, the ‘automatic mechanisms’ that support action are ‘perfectly general’ (Stanley, 2011, p. 84), in contrast to the detailed propositional knowledge that informs action. We will argue, …
Anticipatory Action: Active Inference In Embodied Cognitive Activity, Ian Robertson, Michael D. Kirchhoff
Anticipatory Action: Active Inference In Embodied Cognitive Activity, Ian Robertson, Michael D. Kirchhoff
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper addresses the cognitive basis of anticipatory action. It does so by taking up what we call the acuity problem: the problem of explaining how skilled action seems, on the one hand, to be executed and unfold automatically and reflexively and, on the other hand, to involve anticipation of context-sensitive and constantly changing conditions in performance. The acuity problem invites two contemporary forms of reply, which we label non-inferential enactivism and Helmholtzian inference, respectively. We advance a third avenue for replying to the acuity problem, which takes active inference under the free energy principle as its theoretical starting point. …
Should I Use My 'Weak' Social Capital Or 'Strong' Guanxi? Reviewing And Critiquing Two Theories In The Context Of Western-Chinese Migration, Zhuqin Feng, Roger Patulny
Should I Use My 'Weak' Social Capital Or 'Strong' Guanxi? Reviewing And Critiquing Two Theories In The Context Of Western-Chinese Migration, Zhuqin Feng, Roger Patulny
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Author(s) 2020. Social network dynamics are complex in the context of Chinese overseas migration because of the unique dynamics of guanxi, which are distinctly different from 'Western' social capital. The few migration studies comparing guanxi and social capital suggest that the former largely consists 'strong ties', while the latter is comprised of 'weak ties'. However, most apply only a cursory comparison of one network facet. We review core literature in the two fields to contrast what each says about network norms, structures and practices. We find that: (i) guanxi is characterised by dynamics of 'face' and renqing; (ii) guanxi …
"They Should Have Never Given Us Uniforms If They Didn't Want Us To Be An Army": The Handmaid's Tale As Transmedia Feminism, Amy Boyle
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Even prior to its premier in April 2017, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale inspired a series of cosplay protests against antiabortion legislation at the Texas State Capitol. The red robes and white bonnets have since been popularized by the critically acclaimed series, and handmaid-style cosplay protests have continued transnationally, with the handmaid heralded as what the BBC calls "an international protest symbol" against heteropatriarchal oppression. Due to a surge of visible feminisms in popular media, it has become good business to create such female-centric, avowedly feminist texts. As the television industry has evolved from a broadcast network to a subscription market, …

Developing A Short-Term Phenomenological Training Program: A Report Of Methodological Lessons, Katsunori Miyahara, Takuya Niikawa, Hiro Hamada, Satoshi Nishida
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2020 Elsevier Ltd We discuss our attempts to develop a short-term phenomenological training program for training naïve participants in phenomenological skills. After reviewing existing methodologies for collecting phenomenological data and clarifying the benefit of the short-term training approach, we present two training programs and two experiments that tested their effectiveness. Experiment 1 tested the two-stage training program, which consists of (i) the illusion training which instructs participants to describe the experience of a visual illusion and (ii) the guidance training which offers individualized feedbacks for improving their description. This program proved effective, but also excessively skill-demanding. Experiment 2 tested the …

Capitalized Money, Austerity And The Math Of Capitalism, Timothy Dimuzio, Richard Robbins
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Author(s) 2020. This article seeks to contribute to the existing critical debates on money and debt by advancing three main arguments. First, largely due to such debates' tendency for description, the article argues that in in the heterodox literature on money and debt there is no convincing critical theory of money creation. For this reason the authors introduce the theory of capital as power and how it can help us theorize the consequences of present money creation. Second, the authors demonstrate how the capitalization of money creation by a minority of investors not only leads to the political chase …
Does Social Media Make Us More Or Less Lonely? Depends On How You Use It, Roger Patulny
Does Social Media Make Us More Or Less Lonely? Depends On How You Use It, Roger Patulny
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Humans are more connected to each other than ever, thanks to smartphones, the web and social media. At the same time, loneliness is a huge and growing social problem. Why is this so? Research shows social media use alone can't cure loneliness - but it can be a tool to build and strengthen our genuine connections with others, which are important for a happy life. To understand why this is the case, we need to understand more about loneliness, its harmful impact, and what this has to do with social media.
Claims, Confusion, And Status: Which City Is New Zealand's Oldest?, Andre Brett
Claims, Confusion, And Status: Which City Is New Zealand's Oldest?, Andre Brett
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2019 New Zealand Geographical Society There is little clarity as to which city is New Zealand's "oldest" or "first." Scholars, journalists, and websites make competing claims. This article examines various categories by which cities can claim to be oldest, and reveals that Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington have valid claims but Dunedin and Nelson do not. Most claims are bound up in the inconsistent development of New Zealand's municipal authorities and representative institutions. I conclude that although the status of "oldest city" has no legal significance, this detail provides an accessible entry point to important historical narratives and to understanding urban …

Theatre can be many things. It can provide a catalyst to action, help us make sense of the world, make us feel part of a broader human experience. Sometimes, what happens on stage is the catalyst. Other times it happens because of the gathering theatre creates.

2020 Elsevier Ltd The important role of fish in food and nutrition security is becoming more widely acknowledged by the fishery sector and within food policy. Integration of fish and food policy, at national, regional or global levels, is required to ensure the contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to human health is supported through governance arrangements. We explore this aspect of food policy integration in Timor-Leste, where malnutrition is a critical health problem. Consumption of fish is low by international standards and only a small proportion of the population engages in fishing. We used a mixed method approach involving desktop …

Distal Engagement: Intentions In Perception, Nick Brancazio, Miguel Segundo Ortin
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2020 Elsevier Inc. Non-representational approaches to cognition have struggled to provide accounts of long-term planning that forgo the use of representations. An explanation comes easier for cognitivist accounts, which hold that we concoct and use contentful mental representations as guides to coordinate a series of actions towards an end state. One non-representational approach, ecological-enactivism, has recently seen several proposals that account for "high-level" or "representation-hungry" capacities, including long-term planning and action coordination. In this paper, we demonstrate the explanatory gap in these accounts that stems from avoiding the incorporation of long-term intentions, as they play an important role both in …
Free To Be Dog Haven: Dogs Who May Never Be Pets?, René J. Marquez
Free To Be Dog Haven: Dogs Who May Never Be Pets?, René J. Marquez
Animal Studies Journal
I am an artist who runs a sanctuary for dogs. I did not start the sanctuary as a studio project, but, as it turns out, it is very much an extension of my studio work. The sanctuary focuses on acknowledging canine subjectivity and agency in the context of colonialist, Western, modernist human fictions, a context explored throughout my work, in general. Our sanctuary is a site of ongoing investigation: we seek to map the territory between ‘free’ and ‘pet’. This paper examines the thinking behind and the practical life of my dog sanctuary: exigencies of doghuman collaboration and what it …
A Novel Argument For Vegetarianism? Zoopolitics And Respect For Animal Corpses, Josh Milburn
A Novel Argument For Vegetarianism? Zoopolitics And Respect For Animal Corpses, Josh Milburn
Animal Studies Journal
This paper offers a novel argument against the eating of meat: the zoopolitical case for vegetarianism. The argument is, in brief, that eating meat involves the disrespect of an animal’s corpse, and this is respect that the animal is owed because they are a member of our political community. At least three features of this case are worthy of note. First, it draws upon political philosophy, rather than moral philosophy. Second, it is a case for vegetarianism, and not a case for veganism. Third, while it is animal-focussed, it does not rely upon a claim about the wrong of inflicting …

Getting Creative With Less. Recipe Lessons From The Australian Women's Weekly During Wartime, Lauren Samuelsson
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Over the past few weeks, Australians have become used to seeing empty shelves in their local supermarkets. Coronavirus-induced panic buying has quickly depleted stocks of products like pasta, rice and flour. Major supermarket chains Coles and Woolworths have introduced restrictions on the purchase of these staple ingredients. Coles has also introduced "rationing" of minced meats. While this is not a genuine food crisis, these limitations will lead Australians to ponder the culinary possibilities of their pantries. Looking at Australia's most widely read women's magazine, the Australian Women's Weekly, shows us how Australians have dealt with food shortages in the past: …

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
© 2020, The Author(s). Don Ihde and Lambros Malafouris (Philosophy and Technology 32:195–214, 2019) have argued that “we are homo faber not just because we make things but also because we are made by them.” The emphasis falls on the idea that the things that we create, use, rely on—that is, those things with which we engage—have a recursive effect on human existence. We make things, but we also make arrangements, many of which are long-standing, material, social, normative, economic, institutional, and/or political, and many of which are supported by various technologies, including AI, more and more. Critical theorists, such …

2020 The Authors. Maternal & Child Nutrition published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Solomon Islands, like many Pacific Island nations, suffer from the burden of malnutrition. External drivers including population growth, declining agriculture and fisheries productivity and global food trade have contributed to the transition to greater reliance on imported foods. Globally, diets are recognized as both a cause of and solution to the burden of malnutrition. Using a mixed-method approach this study assessed nutritional status and key determinants of malnutrition among women and young children in rural Solomon Island communities. Quantitative 24-hour recall surveys identified diets of women …

At the University of Wollongong (UOW) Library we have been exploring ways to deliver information and digital literacy resources at point of need for students. Aligned with the University's strategic direction, the Future Ready Library Strategy points to a digital first mindset and its application to services and resources offered to the UOW community. Combined with the need to embrace the real life challenges faced by higher education students in Australia today, this has led us to develop a suite of digital learning objects in collaboration with teaching academics that can be delivered at scale, enabling a sustainable way to …

This article applies the framework of possible selves to the motivation and persistence behaviours of one group of university students. We draw on possible selves to consider how particular goal-focused actions and life experiences may significantly shape movements towards imagined futures. Utilising a narrative approach from longitudinal data, this article considers the ways in which possible selves were articulated by five first-in-family students, all of whom were mature-aged women returning to formal learning. A series of vignettes enabled us to explore how students themselves conceived of this movement into university, and how hoped-for selves were considered and enacted (or not). …
