MARRYING OUT: a documentary radio series about mixed marriage and religious bigotry: 2 x 55mins A woman is denied a deathbed visit to her father. A couple’s honeymoon vehicle is sabotaged. A man is cut out of three wills. Children practise their faith in secret. A quarter of the population is barred from applying for jobs. The cause: religion. The place: Australia. The time: until the 1960s. Just two generations ago, before multiculturalism was the norm, Australian society was polarised between two groups: Protestants and Catholics. Religion was code for identity, with tensions fuelled by historical grievances that dated back …

Islands Of Multilingual Literature: Community Magazines And Australia’S Many Languages, Michael R. Jacklin

Michael Jacklin

Australian literary studies has for some decades recognised the significance and contribution of multicultural writers to the national literary landscape; however, it has shown less interest in the multilingual nature of much of this writing. This article brings into focus a number of Australian magazines in which multilingual literature has been promoted, from the 1920s Brisbane publication The Muses Magazine, to the 1990s multicultural, multilingual women’s magazine Ambitious Friends, which featured creative work in Arabic, Lao, Spanish and Vietnamese. Further illustrations, specific to Vietnamese Australian writing, will be provided from Integration: The Magazine for Vietnamese and Multicultural Issues, published in …

Critique Of The Discourse Of Authentic Leadership, Rita A. Gardiner Ms Mar 2013

Critique Of The Discourse Of Authentic Leadership, Rita A. Gardiner Ms

Rita A Gardiner

This article considers the new management discourse of authentic leadership is deeply problematic because it fails to take into account how social and historical circumstances affect a person’s ability to be a leader. It examines some of the arguments made by proponents of authentic leadership theory, and contrasts these claims about authenticity with Hannah Arendt’s concept of uniqueness, as well as considering Heidegger’s notion of authenticity as resoluteness. It also looks at the ways in which authentic leadership fails to address issues related to power and privilege by looking specifically at how silence operates. The author argues that it is …

Intercultural Conflict And Dialogue In Transnational Digital Networks - Migration And Gender, Athina Karatzogianni, Nelli Kambouri, Nicos Trimikliniotis, Oksana Morgunova, Olga Lafazani, Grigoris Ioannou

Athina Karatzogianni

The three case studies involve intercultural conflict between migrants and the host society, but also conflicts between migrants of different origin or culture, and intra-communal conflict. These conflicts occur in digital networks and are influencing and are influenced by what is called here by the different research teams interchangeably as ‘real’, ‘offline’, ‘material’ or ‘physical’. Nevertheless, the intention of the research design and philosophical standpoint is to integrate virtuality and materiality as far as this is possible in the analysis. In Cyprus, urban spaces are contested by migrant and anti-migrant groups and played on-line and off-line in an interplay that …

"For A Single Lady To Travel": Geographic Mobility And Female Independence In Leonora Sansay's Secret History And Laura, Sarah E. Thompson Dec 2012

"For A Single Lady To Travel": Geographic Mobility And Female Independence In Leonora Sansay's Secret History And Laura, Sarah E. Thompson

Sarah E. Thompson

In contrasting the comparative success of the worldlier, more sophisticated Clara and Mary in Secret History with the pathetic fate of the eponymous protagonist in Laura, Sansay presents geographic mobility as an essential facet in the successful development of individual female agency for the women of Early America. Although Sansay does not wholly reject the values associated with a traditional feminine role, particularly in regards to concerns about sexual morality, Sansay ultimately creates in Laura and Secret History a world in which the more experience a woman has, the better equipped she is to respond to the inequalities of power …


Spirit Injury And Feminism: Expanding The Discussion, Nick J. Sciullo Dec 2012

Spirit Injury And Feminism: Expanding The Discussion, Nick J. Sciullo

Nick J. Sciullo

To discuss spirit injury, it is at first necessary to articulate a space in the theoretical diaspora to conceptualize spirit injury as a concept deeply tied to the historical tradition of several theoretical frameworks. “Spirit injury” is a phrase popularized by critical race feminist Adrien Katherine Wing. It is a term utilized in critical race feminism (CRF) that brings together insights from critical legal studies (CLS) and critical race theory (CRT). Wing’s training is as a lawyer and legal scholar, not as a communication scholar, yet her work may help communication scholars more keenly theorize harm and violence. Her scholarship …
