South-South Cooperation In Southeast Asia: From Bandung And Solidarity To Norms And Rivalry, Susan N. Engel
South-South Cooperation In Southeast Asia: From Bandung And Solidarity To Norms And Rivalry, Susan N. Engel
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This article demonstrates how South-South Cooperation (SSC), as it is now constituted in Southeast Asia, is little more than a liberal norm retaining only echoes of its origins in the 1955 Bandung Conference that first created SSC based on solidarity, common interests, and sovereignty. Southeast Asia is a useful case study of SSC's evolution, as its states have been major players over the decades - with Indonesia proposing the Bandung Conference, Malaysia playing a key role in the 1980s, and Indonesia again at the forefront of the region from the first years of the new century onwards. Thailand and Singapore …
A Soul Divided: The Un's Misconduct Over West Papua, Julian Mckinlay King
A Soul Divided: The Un's Misconduct Over West Papua, Julian Mckinlay King
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2019 by the author(s). The soul of the Papuan people is divided. Separated by an arbitrary line established during the early colonial period-dissecting language groups, tribal lands, gardens, and villages-the people to the west of this line are regarded as Indonesian and live under a military dictatorship described by legal scholars and human rights advocates as systemic terror and alleged genocide while those people to the east of this line enjoy freedom within the independent state of Papua New Guinea. This paper revisits the range of agreements between the United Nations, Indonesia, and the Netherlands from 1962, which include the …
Rius, Graphic Pedagogue: On Comics As An Instrument For (Advanced) Education In Justice (For Beginners), Luis Gomez Romero
Rius, Graphic Pedagogue: On Comics As An Instrument For (Advanced) Education In Justice (For Beginners), Luis Gomez Romero
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2019 Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. All rights reserved. Mexican comic artist Eduardo del Río García -best known to millions of readers in the world by his pen name, Rius- developed a new genre of comic clearly permeated with political and pedagogical intentions. This article presents Rius graphic pedagogy as a vernacular theoretical contribution to jurisprudential debates on justice, and situates it as a utopian horizon for an education of desire focused on the historical realization of the communist hypothesis.
Belonging, Being, Becoming: Exploring The Value Of A Statement Of Law Student Ideals, Karina Murray, Trish Mundy
Belonging, Being, Becoming: Exploring The Value Of A Statement Of Law Student Ideals, Karina Murray, Trish Mundy
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In 2017, the School of Law at the University of Wollongong commenced an educational 'experiment', designed to make an important symbolic message to students that their career as a legal professional starts from the day they begin their law studies. It invited First Year Students to commit to core values, attitudes and practices that are seen as important to developing a positive legal professional identity. As part of the evaluation and review process, in 2018 the original 'Pledge' was redesigned as the Law Student Statement of Ideals. This article reports on the learnings gained through adopting the Law Student Statement …
Misplacing Memories? An Enactive Approach To The Virtual Memory Palace, Anco Peeters, Miguel Segundo Ortin
Misplacing Memories? An Enactive Approach To The Virtual Memory Palace, Anco Peeters, Miguel Segundo Ortin
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In this paper, we evaluate the pragmatic turn towards embodied, enactive thinking in cognitive science, in the context of recent empirical research on the memory palace technique. The memory palace is a powerful method for remembering yet it faces two problems. First, cognitive scientists are currently unable to clarify its efficacy. Second, the technique faces significant practical challenges to its users. Virtual reality devices are sometimes presented as a way to solve these practical challenges, but currently fall short of delivering on that promise. We address both issues in this paper. First, we argue that an embodied, enactive approach to …
Enactive Pain And Its Sociocultural Embeddedness, Katsunori Miyahara
Enactive Pain And Its Sociocultural Embeddedness, Katsunori Miyahara
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper disputes the theoretical assumptions of mainstream approaches in philosophy of pain, representationalism and imperativism, and advances an enactive approach as an alternative. It begins by identifying three shared assumptions in the mainstream approaches: the internalist assumption, the brain-body assumption, and the semantic assumption. It then articulates an alternative, enactive approach that considers pain as an embodied response to the situation. This approach entails the hypothesis of the sociocultural embeddedness of pain, which states against the brain-body assumption that the intentional character of pain depends on the agent's sociocultural background. The paper then proceeds to consider two objections. The …
Australian Wool And Chinese Industrialization, 1901-41, Peter Gibson, Simon Ville
Australian Wool And Chinese Industrialization, 1901-41, Peter Gibson, Simon Ville
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Chinese industrialization has been understood chiefly in terms of China's engagement with more powerful countries, especially Japan and Britain. During the early twentieth century, nevertheless, the development of China's woolen industry-part of a broader program of Chinese industrial development-depended largely on an import trade in raw wool from Australia. Through our study of this industry and trade, we show that a minor world power was more significant to Chinese industrialization than previously imagined.
Ecological Psychology Is Radical Enough: A Reply To Radical Enactivists, Miguel Segundo Ortin, Manuel Heras-Escribano, Vicente Raja
Ecological Psychology Is Radical Enough: A Reply To Radical Enactivists, Miguel Segundo Ortin, Manuel Heras-Escribano, Vicente Raja
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Ecological psychology is one of the most influential theories of perception in the embodied, anti-representational, and situated cognitive sciences. However, radical enactivists claim that Gibsonians tend to describe ecological information and its 'pick up' in ways that make ecological psychology close to representational theories of perception and cognition. Motivated by worries about the tenability of classical views of informational content and its processing, these authors claim that ecological psychology needs to be "RECtified" so as to explicitly resist representational readings. In this paper, we argue against this call for RECtification. To do so, we offer a detailed analysis of the …
To Move Or Not To Move: Mobility Decision-Making In The Context Of Welfare Conditionality And Paid Employment, Greg Marston, Juan Zhang, Michelle A. Peterie, Gaby Ramia, Roger Patulny, Emma Cooke
To Move Or Not To Move: Mobility Decision-Making In The Context Of Welfare Conditionality And Paid Employment, Greg Marston, Juan Zhang, Michelle A. Peterie, Gaby Ramia, Roger Patulny, Emma Cooke
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The mobility and agency of the unemployed have rarely been examined together in welfare administration. Mobility research has much to offer the (im)mobility of low-skilled and unemployed workers. The article begins by critically examining dominant public discourse and policy reforms that stigmatise the assumed immobility of the unemployed. Drawing on empirical data from in-depth interviews with people on income support payments in Australia, it then offers a critical view on the mobility decision-making processes of these job-seekers. Building on previous research concerning the politics of mobility, it shows that structural inequalities impact mobility choices, making relocation difficult for many job-seekers. …

'National' And 'Official' Languages Of The Independent Asia-Pacific, Rowena G. Ward
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In November 2018 New Caledonians went to the polls to vote on whether the French territory should become an independent state. In accordance with the terms of the 1998 Noumea Accord between Kanak pro-independence leaders and the French government, New Caledonians will have the opportunity to vote on the same issue again in 2020 and should they vote for independence, a new state will emerge. In another part of Melanesia, the people of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB) will vote on 23 November 2019 on whether to secede from Papua New Guinea and form an independent state. With the …
"Ask For More Time": Big Data Chronopolitics In The Australian Welfare Bureaucracy, Andrew M. Whelan
"Ask For More Time": Big Data Chronopolitics In The Australian Welfare Bureaucracy, Andrew M. Whelan
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Since 2016, welfare recipients in Australia have been subject to the Online Compliance Intervention (OCI), implemented through the national income support agency, Centrelink. This is a big data initiative, matching reported income to tax records to recoup welfare overpayments. The OCI proved controversial, notably for a "reverse onus," requiring that claimants disprove debts, and for data-matching design leading frequently to incorrect debts. As algorithmic governance, the OCI directs attention to the chronopolitics of contemporary welfare bureaucracies. It outsources labor previously conducted by Centrelink to clients, compelling them to submit documentation lest debts be raised against them. It imposes an active …
Sonic Havens: How We Use Music To Make Ourselves Feel At Home, Michael J. Walsh, Eduardo De La Fuente
Sonic Havens: How We Use Music To Make Ourselves Feel At Home, Michael J. Walsh, Eduardo De La Fuente
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The concept of "home" refers to more than bricks and mortar. Just as cities are more than buildings and infrastructure, our homes carry all manner of emotional, aesthetic and socio-cultural significance. Our research investigates music and sound across five settings: home, work, retail spaces, private vehicle travel and public transport.
The Vowel /U/ Before Deleted Word-Final /S/, /R/, And /Θ/ In Eastern Andalusian Spanish, Alfredo Herrero De Haro
The Vowel /U/ Before Deleted Word-Final /S/, /R/, And /Θ/ In Eastern Andalusian Spanish, Alfredo Herrero De Haro
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Eastern Andalusian Spanish deletes all coda consonants; yet, coda deletion analyses have focused on /-s/. The acoustic and statistical analyses of 317 tokens of /u/ in 24 Eastern Andalusian speakers confirm that the differences in quality between word-final /u/ and /u/ preceding deleted /-s/, /-r/, and /-θ/ are statistically significant. Furthermore, /-s/, /-r/, and /-θ/ deletion changes the quality of a preceding /u/ in different degrees but the difference of quality between these three realisations of /u/ is not statistically significant. Likewise, a perception experiment confirms that Eastern Andalusian speakers can identify whether or not /u/ is followed by an …
Ripples Of Decolonisation In The Asia Pacific, Charles Hawksley, Rowena G. Ward
Ripples Of Decolonisation In The Asia Pacific, Charles Hawksley, Rowena G. Ward
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The process of decolonisation has had a profound effect on the structure of the international state system, including in the Asia Pacific. This article surveys the results of the decolonisation of the British, French, Dutch and Japanese Asian and Pacific empires. It also discusses the end of United Nations Trusteeships administered by the United States, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the governmental arrangements of other non-self-governing or dependent territories. With two Pacific territories, Bougainville (November 2019) and New Caledonia (August or September 2020), soon to vote on their political futures, it is timely to note that a process …
Language And Attitude Shift Of Young Mauritians In Secondary Education, Anu Bissoonauth-Bedford
Language And Attitude Shift Of Young Mauritians In Secondary Education, Anu Bissoonauth-Bedford
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This study investigated the changing patterns of language use and language attitudes of younger generations of Mauritians over the last two decades. This article discusses the shift in language attitudes of students in secondary education with special emphasis on Kreol*, taught since 2012 in primary schools and from 2018 in secondary schools. A comparison with results from earlier studies suggests a positive attitude shift towards Kreol in education as well as an acceptance of multilingualism and multiculturalism as an integral part of being Mauritian. Asian heritage languages lag behind in the multi-diglossic patterns of language use. Nonetheless, despite a steady …
Boycott Them! No, Boycott This! Do Choice Overload And Small-Agent Rationalization Inhibit The Signing Of Anti‐Consumption Petitions?, Ulku Yuksel, Nguyen T. Thai, Michael S. Lee
Boycott Them! No, Boycott This! Do Choice Overload And Small-Agent Rationalization Inhibit The Signing Of Anti‐Consumption Petitions?, Ulku Yuksel, Nguyen T. Thai, Michael S. Lee
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Internet and social media have increased the number of organizations and individuals asking consumers to sign petitions against transgressing brands. This raises a question as to whether such increases in requests to sign a petition to support a boycott positively or negatively impact on consumer willingness to enact anti-consumption. Via experiments, this study investigates the effect that choice overload has on consumers signing a petition in support of a boycott call. The findings establish that individuals who need to make a choice from numerous boycott calls (i.e., large choice-sets) are less likely to sign a petition to support a …
Area-Based Management Tools: Developing Regulatory Frameworks For Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, Robin M. Warner
Area-Based Management Tools: Developing Regulatory Frameworks For Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, Robin M. Warner
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The increasing intensity and impacts of human activities in the global oceans pose significant threats to the extensive repository of marine species, habitats and ecosystems in the vast marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (abnj). This article examines the scope of these threats and the role of area-based management mechanisms such as marine protected areas (mpas) in addressing those threats. It discusses the law and policy rationale for establishing mpas in abnj and some regional examples of mpa designation in the North East Atlantic, the Mediterranean, Antarctica and the Sargasso Sea. Finally, it reviews global initiatives in the United Nations to …
Similarity-Based Cognition: Radical Enactivism Meets Cognitive Neuroscience, Miguel Segundo Ortin, Daniel D. Hutto
Similarity-Based Cognition: Radical Enactivism Meets Cognitive Neuroscience, Miguel Segundo Ortin, Daniel D. Hutto
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2019, Springer Nature B.V. Similarity-based cognition is commonplace. It occurs whenever an agent or system exploits the similarities that hold between two or more items-e.g., events, processes, objects, and so on-in order to perform some cognitive task. This kind of cognition is of special interest to cognitive neuroscientists. This paper explicates how similarity-based cognition can be understood through the lens of radical enactivism and why doing so has advantages over its representationalist rival, which posits the existence of structural representations or S-representations. Specifically, it is argued that there are problems both with accounting for the content of S-representations and with …
Developing Expertise: Benefits Of Generalising Learning From The Graphic Design Project, Grant N. Ellmers, Marius Foley
Developing Expertise: Benefits Of Generalising Learning From The Graphic Design Project, Grant N. Ellmers, Marius Foley
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2019 NSEAD and John Wiley & Sons Ltd The ability to transfer knowledge between design projects has been linked to developing expertise and, as such, is an important skill for designers. However, externalising and analysing the knowledge from the design project in ways that support transfer can be a challenge. This article explores how reflective practice can foster the conditions for knowledge transfer and links these outcomes with design expertise characteristics. A structured and critical approach to reflection was introduced alongside a graphic design project with the aim to foster the conditions for transfer to other projects. A case study …

Climate change science is unequivocal on the link between fossil fuels and climate change. Yet, some governments - including those in Australia - fail to meet agreed targets and continue to invest in the coal industry. Scientists and other scholars have expressed concern that the science is not prompting shifts in policy adequate to address current and future effects of climate change. Many have called for other tools - specifically, the arts and social sciences - to investigate and communicate about the environmental and social changes underway. In this context, this article explores the potential of interdisciplinary collaborative song-writing as …
The Viewing Mind And Live-Action Japanese Television Series: A Cognitive Perspective On Gender Constructions In Seirei No Moribito (Guardian Of The Spirit), Helen Kilpatrick
The Viewing Mind And Live-Action Japanese Television Series: A Cognitive Perspective On Gender Constructions In Seirei No Moribito (Guardian Of The Spirit), Helen Kilpatrick
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The recent (2016-2018) live-action Japanese television series, Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Spirit), was produced by NHK in the vein of the taiga (big river) historical drama, but challenges this and other Japanese generic conventions through its production as a fantasy series, and through its female heroine rather than the usual male samurai hero. This paper takes a cognitive narratological perspective in the exploration of how story-telling devices conjure and challenge some of the most dominant patriarchal scripts found across much of Asia (and elsewhere). It examines how narrative techniques prompt viewer mental processing with regard to cultural schemas …
Writing On Common Ground: The Lyric Essay As A Decolonising Form, Christine Howe
Writing On Common Ground: The Lyric Essay As A Decolonising Form, Christine Howe
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Is it possible for Australian settler writers to decolonise their writing, and if so, what form might this writing take? This paper explores the challenges facing settler writers who wish to respectfully acknowledge the sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to participate in the movement towards a 'fair and truthful relationship' ('Uluru statement from the heart' 2017). The value of the lyric essay as a poetic form that resists straightforward answers -but rather allows for links to be drawn between the past and the present, complicity and healing, and the land and our experience of it -is …
Nano-Sunscreens - A Double-Edged Sword In Protecting Consumers From Harm: Viewing Australian Regulatory Policies Through The Lenses Of The European Union, S M.

Nanotechnology has the potential to bring about revolutionary changes in manufacturing products, including sunscreens. However, a knowledge gap between benefits and detriments of engineered nano-materials used in sunscreens exists, which gives rise to safety concerns. This article is concerned with the protection of consumers without impairing the embellishment of this promising technology. It is widely argued that the harm associated with nano-sunscreens may only occur under certain conditions related mainly to users skin vulnerability, which can be avoided by informed and careful use of such a product. We thus recognize the need for fostering the growth of nanotech simultaneously with …

'Social License To Operate' In The Blue Economy, Michelle A. Voyer, Judith Van Leeuwen
'Social License To Operate' In The Blue Economy, Michelle A. Voyer, Judith Van Leeuwen
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Blue Economy is an ocean based economic growth model gaining traction around the world. The way in which the Blue Economy is conceived and understood differs significantly across different sets of actors. A particular area of contestation exists around which ocean based industries or sectors can be considered to be 'Blue'. This highlights the possibility of the Blue Economy becoming a forum through which the legitimacy of different private uses of ocean resources is contested and debated. The question of legitimacy of Blue Economy activities and sectors is explored through a critical engagement with the notion of a 'social …

Large Scale Marine Protected Areas: Current Status And Consideration Of Socio-Economic Dimensions, Chris Smyth, Quentin A. Hanich
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Global targets for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have evolved in response to rising global concerns about the health of the world's oceans and numerous scientific studies demonstrating the benefits of MPAs as a conservation tool. Our research paper analyses the research needs required to address stakeholder and government concerns from both developed and developing State viewpoints, and build a greater understanding of the benefits and impacts of Marine Protected Areas for the marine ecosystem and the stakeholders that depend on it. In order to satisfy these research needs, and achieve global conservation targets, it is necessary to significantly increase science …

A Global Review Of Farmers' Perceptions Of Agricultural Risks And Risk Management Strategies, Thi Tam Duong, Thomas D. Brewer, Jo Luck, Kerstin Zander
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Farmers around the world face and manage a wide range of enterprise-related risks. These risks are increasing due to a range of factors including globalisation, increased trade in agricultural products, and climate change, jeopardising agricultural enterprises and forcing farmers to adjust their production and management strategies. Here we present results of a systematic literature review, following PRISMA protocol, of farmers' perceptions of, and responses to, agricultural risks. Using data reduction method (factor analysis) and descriptive statistics, we analysed 197 studies and found that weather-related risk (55%), biosecurity threats (48%), and human risk (35%) are the significant risks perceived by farmers …
Emotion Management And Solidarity In The Workplace: A Call For A New Research Agenda, Jordan J. Mckenzie, Rebecca Olson, Roger Patulny, Alberto Bellocchi, Kathy Mills
Emotion Management And Solidarity In The Workplace: A Call For A New Research Agenda, Jordan J. Mckenzie, Rebecca Olson, Roger Patulny, Alberto Bellocchi, Kathy Mills
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Research focusing on the management of emotion features prominently in studies of employee attrition, gender inequality and workplace satisfaction, but rarely in research on worker solidarity. Against a backdrop of increasing individualisation within late modern society, research about workplace management of emotion has become bifurcated along sociological or organisational psychology lines. Within the sociology literature, management of emotion is theorised as a commercialised, relational and (often) alienating experience. Within organisational psychology literature and research, the emphasis is on harnessing individual traits and skills (e.g. emotional intelligence) to regulate emotions for increased productivity and employee retention. In this article, the authors …

Corporate Social Responsibility, Human Rights And Clothing Workers In Bangladesh And Malaysia, Vicki D. Crinis
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The brand-name fashion industry creates high levels of competition in developing countries, leading to labour exploitation and human rights abuse. The 2013 World Investment Report found that pushing prices down in global value chains has led to "significant negative social and environmental impacts". In response, fashion corporations and retail giants introduced codes of conduct to address consumer concerns and stop any damage to brand reputation. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has had some success in preventing child labour but little if any victory in allowing workers the right to organise and bargain collectively. In fact, CSR has been blamed for undermining …
