Sources Of And Responses To Acute Stress In Sport As A Function Of Selected Personal Dispositions, Situational Appraisals, And Cultural Differences, Angelo N. Kaissidis

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

The purposes of this study were to examine sources of stress in sport and investigate the ways in which psychological dispositions and situational appraisals influence the cognitive and behavioural responses of basketball referees and players to acute stress. The study consisted of three parts. In study I, 64 Australian and 75 Greek basketball referees completed a survey to ascertain the sources of acute stress experienced during a game. Results showed cross-cultural and age differences in the referees' perceived intensity of stress. Higher degrees of stress were experienced by adolescent compared to adult Australian referees, and by Australian compared to Greek …

Woman, Wife And (M)Other: Post-Colonial Metaphors For Negation, Derek Hanley

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

An examination will be carried out into different aspects of possession and exploitation of the female within a colonial/postcolonial context. This thesis will be constructed in 'parts' that highlight the influences that construct, define, subvert [and shape] female identity in colonial/post-colonial literature. For women at least, negation, fragmentation and alienation continue long after the physical process of colorusation has ended. It is from this background that women have to rise in order to assert their independence. Women writers like Atwood, Steinem and Munro write with sensitivity of woman's wrongful possession and manipulation by men whilst making the point that woman's …

Wildflowers And White Porcelain, Jules C. Mccue

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

The seed is a symbol of fertility and as in the case of Sue Norrie's paintings of the earlier nineteen eighties, the seed is a symbol of abundance.[2] Fertility, abundance, ritual, the theatre of emotions and metaphysics: still life - the content of which has passed through many visual forms. It is this genre of painting that has permitted women in Australia to become 'great painters'. Ironically enough, the subject matter of still life has also been the traditional, feminine space which surrounds what was always seen to be 'low-plane reality' and therefore a lesser form of painting. It appears …

Mabo And The Politics Of Community, T. Schirato

Law Text Culture

The main interest of this paper is to attempt to theorize, not the current Mabo debates, or even the various media productions of Mabo, but rather the notions of community which the media and other related institutions use to contextualize, situate, and evaluate Mabo. More specifically, I am going to suggest that various conservative productions of Mabo can be read as being predicated on discourses and narratives which strategically and necessarily locate Aboriginal peoples simultaneously inside and outside the so-called Australian community. This paper does not attempt to trace the various developments, legal and otherwise, which led up to the …

Hospital Food Services In A Multicultural Australia: Assessing The Needs Of The Middle Eastern Community In South Western Sydney Area Health Service, Lily Hamdan

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

A hospital food service department is responsible for providing appropriate meal choices for all its clients. Evidence exists that such choices are not equitably extended to Australians from non-English speaking backgrounds. The development of a new food service system has provided South Western Sydney Areas Health Service with the opportunity to address the issue and develop a culturally appropriate food service.

Circling The Mountain: From Naming To Namelessness: Towards Writing And Performing A Contemporary Epic Poem, Merlinda Bobis

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

Circling The Mountain: From Naming To Namelessness is an annotated document which supports a 20,000 word epic poem (in two versions: English and Filipino) entitled Kantada ng Babaing Mandirigma/Cantata of The Warrior Woman Daragang Magayon. This explanatory text documents the process involved in writing and performing my epic, in which I recast a traditional myth about the active volcano Mt. Mayon in my region Bikol in the Philippines.

Through a discussion on feminism, language and the epic genre, this story of my creative process also explains the thesis of my epic poem: re-inventing the Self beyond rigidified and oppressive …

The Art And Scope Of Eleanor Spence's Novels, Jenifer Frances Bates

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

The concern of this thesis is the art of Eleanor Spence and the scope of her children's novels. In general terms, this encompasses the writer's style, the way her work is shaped, and her view of the world. More specifically, the scope of Spence's writing can be described in terms of her preoccupations, namely: the family, personal growth and identity, and Australian social history and values. The author's art, of course, is not to be seen merely in the way she treats these preoccupations but also in the way in which her approach has developed in step with, or ahead …

The Response Of Trabecular Bone To Physical Activity In Young Sedentary Males, Jarrod D. Meerkin

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

Bone is a dynamic tissue that is continuously undergoing cycles of resorption and formation throughout life. Factors known to effect this remodelling process include an individual's nutritional and hormonal status and physical activity and achievable bone density is dependent on the interaction between an individuals chosen lifestyle and genetic make-up. There is considerable evidence that physical activity may have a positive effect on bone mineral density through the effects of mechanical loading and local and systemic physiological mechanisms. Lack of a change in bone mineral density following exercise has also been found, and this discrepancy in the literature may reflect …

Introduction, R. Handley, P. Pether, J. Pugliese, M. Scott, J. Robinson, C. Hough

Law Text Culture

Contemporary culture is currently characterised by distinct movements both from within and without universities which are questioning, rethinking, and rewriting the parameters and ground of traditional academic disciplines. Law/Text/Culture situates itself within this mobile and changing cultural context; it seeks to enable the articulation of the issues and development of the theories and practices generated by disciplinary crossings between fields and bodies of knowledge that have traditionally been seen as discrete and autonomous. Law/Text/Culture is a journal committed to producing intersections of the law, textuality and all aspects of culture. It publishes work across a range of genres - from …

Protocols Of The Elders Of Feminism, S. Paretsky

Law Text Culture

In 1905 a Russian named Sergei Nilus published the Protocols of the Leamed Elders of Zion. The book claimed to be a Russian translation of minutes, or protocols, from secret meetings of leaders of the international Jewish conspiracy. The Protocols is a strange, incoherent mish-mash. Its first-person narrator froths at the mouth as he boasts of Jewish responsibility for every evil of western civilization, from "liberal" political philosophies endorsing equality, to the break-up of Gentile families.

Codes, Dooms, Constitutions And Statutes: The Emergence Of The Legislative Form Of Legal Writing, V. Robinson

Law Text Culture

In this paper, I would like to look at the "emergence" of legislation in two different senses. First, there is the historical emergence of legislation as a distinct fonn of legal writing. I have the impression that legislation is often seen as something modrn when it is ancient with legislative texts predating just about all other legal and non-legal texts. To work out how ancient the legislative tradition is, we have to decide what we treat as legislation. Second, there is the possibility of legislation emerging as a significant topic for law and literature studies. I have the impression that …

Deconstruction And The Possibility Of Justice : Critical And Cultural Difference, T. Threadgold

Law Text Culture

Deconstruction and the Possibility of Justice has a place in the chain of readings/rewritings (in Dworkin's sense) that constitute the field of recent and emerging Australian work in Law and Literature and Critical Legal Studies. At the same time it is a book that is marked by an extraordinary difference to the Australian work. Perhaps in this case differance (in Derrida's sense) would be the better term since there is within the chapters of the book a constant deferral of the business of deconstruction in favour of the assertion of the possibility of justice in abstract theoretical terms. The theme …

Clearing The Air - Eighteen Views Of Capitol Hill, Y. Christianse

Law Text Culture

It was the McCarthy hearings which really boosted politics into the arena of electronic media entertainment - 'arena' in the sense that, in keeping with the majority of tele-movies and series, this entertaimnent is grounded in a combative system in which one adversary must triumph over another in a display of strength and wit (in that order, for most) which provides the entertainment. With the addition of discourses of myth and institutional power, the entertaining spectacle ofgood vs bad took on urgency in the 1950s hearings. They did again in 1991 in what was variously called the Hill vs Thomas …

The Series Romance: The Changing Representation Of Gender Relationships Within A Popular Genre, Lilybeth M. Mayhew

University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 1954-2016

The continued popularity of series romances, read privately for pleasure, poses a problem for those who study such texts in the public, institutional world of the university. Feminists, students of cultural studies, and theorists of popular culture, attempt to map the ideologies, discourses, psychoanalytic readings, and spaces for resistance within the romance. Other researchers and scholars use ethnography to discover what private pleasures readers say they get from the texts. Always there is this tension between the public and the private, both inwho says what about the popular romance, and in what the romance says about the social practices of …

Falling Everywhere: Postmodern Politics And American Cultural Mythologies, Anthony Ashbolt

Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)

History repeats itself, endlessly and sometimes tiresomely. Numerous writers and scholars have worried about the divisions - social, political and cultural - which began permeating American society in the 1960s. The unravelling of America, the coming apart of America, became familiar refrains. During the 'sixties itself, Daniel Boorstin's new left barbarians were at the gate threatening the very genius of American politics which Boorstin had postulated in the previous decade. This genius, itself a cousin of American exceptionalism, revolved around the erosion of ideological division, and the lack of vigorous difference within the American polity. Rather than this producing a …

I Panicked And Hit Him With A Brick, D. Kiley

Law Text Culture

CAPITAL Q 26 Nov 1993 Iss 64, p.5 A NSW Supreme Court jury has acquitted a 22-year-old man of brutally murdering a 46-year-old gay man, despite hearing evidence that he admitted he had "rolled a fag" to friends. Christopher Paul McKinnon, who pleaded not guilty, was acquitted at the Darlinghurst courts on Tuesday of assaulting and ramming Maurice McCarty's head against the wall of his Newtown home on 7 April 1991. A postmortem examination revealed he had died of severe head injuries.

Habermas, Freud, Accountants: An Epidemic Of Self-Deception And/Or Public Abuse?, M. M. Day

Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers

In this paper I focus on Habermasian therapeutic discourse, which, according to Habermas, is a prerequisite for transformation and emancipation. I describe Habermas' reconstruction of Freudian psychoanalysis, and subject it to critique by drawing on several works, including some feminist authors. In the second part of the paper, I draw parallels between the power/knowledge construct of psychoanalysis and a power/knowledge construct of financial accounting, with particular reference to tax-effect accounting. I conclude with a consideration of accountants as reproducers of self-deception and generators of public abuse.
