Publishing's Consequences And Possibilities For Literacy In The Pacific Islands, Linda Crowl
Publishing's Consequences And Possibilities For Literacy In The Pacific Islands, Linda Crowl
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Pacific Islands were among the most recent countries to acquire presses, but within 70 years all major island groups and some single island countries had presses. Catholic and Protestant missionaries not only assisted the foreign missionaries but also they outnumbered them and often entered the field before them.
Sedition And The Question Of Freedom Of Speech, Sarah Sorial
Sedition And The Question Of Freedom Of Speech, Sarah Sorial
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Since September 11 2001, the Australian Federal Government has passed a number of pieces of legislation designed to fight terrorism.1 Included in the legislative package is an expansion of laws that target sedition. The law of sedition prohibits speech or writing that is intended to lead to violent conduct, or to 'incite' violence against and 'hatred' of elected governments. Given that sedition presents limitations and prohibitions against freedom of speech -- widely recognised as one of the most fundamental freedoms of liberal democratic societies - the law of sedition presents a series of problems in the context of western liberal …

Return To Formula: Narrative Closures In Representations Of Aboriginal Identity In Australian Cinema, Suneeti Rekhari
Return To Formula: Narrative Closures In Representations Of Aboriginal Identity In Australian Cinema, Suneeti Rekhari
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This article discusses the impact of narrative closures on Aboriginal identity representations in the Australian film texts of Jedda, Walkabout and Rabbit-Proof Fence. It argues that filmic representations of Aboriginal identity have been framed within the historical, political and social mileu of the time they were produced, which contributes to the placement of narrative closures in film texts that reinforce the status quo and a return to predictable equilibrium. It concludes with a discussion on the changes that may or may not occur in the representation of the reality of the lives of the Aboriginal 'Other'.
Opposing Surveillance, Brian Martin
Opposing Surveillance, Brian Martin
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
If surveillance is potentially seen as unfair, then it is predictable that its proponents will use a number of methods to reduce public concern: cover up surveillance activities, devalue targets and opponents, offer plausible interpretations for actions, use official processes that give an appearance of fairness, and intimidate and bribe targets and opponents. Opponents of surveillance can be more effective by being prepared for these tactics and working out ways to counter them.
“The Four Horsemen Of The Greenhouse Apocalypse”: Apocalypse In The Science Fiction Novels Of George Turner, Roslyn Weaver
“The Four Horsemen Of The Greenhouse Apocalypse”: Apocalypse In The Science Fiction Novels Of George Turner, Roslyn Weaver
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper surveys some of the developments in apocalyptic writing in recent decades, and then examine the use of apocalypse in George Turner's science fiction novels. Global events such as World War Two, terrorism, the Cold War, and increasing environmental problems have contributed to a growth in apocalyptic fictions. While novels warning about the dangers of nuclear war were prolific in post-WWII speculative literature, other issues such as technological and ecological disaster have since become dominant threats. Apocalypse literally means revelation, but the popular imagination more frequently associates it with widespread destruction. The form therefore offers a useful approach for …
Film, Representation And The Exclusion Of Aboriginal Identity: Examples From Australian Cinema, Suneeti Rekhari
Film, Representation And The Exclusion Of Aboriginal Identity: Examples From Australian Cinema, Suneeti Rekhari
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Throughout the latter half of the past century cinema has played a significant role in the shaping of the core narratives of Australia. Films express and implicitly shape national images and symbolic representations of cultural fictions in which ideas about Indigenous identity have been embedded. In this paper, exclusionary practices in Australian narratives are analysed through examples of films representing Aboriginal identity. Through these filmic narratives the articulation, interrogation, and contestation of views about filmic representations of Aboriginal identity in Australia is illuminated. The various themes in the filmic narratives are examined in order to compare and contrast the ways …

When Wages Were Clothes: Dressing Down Aboriginal Workers In Australia's Northern Territory, Julia T. Martinez
When Wages Were Clothes: Dressing Down Aboriginal Workers In Australia's Northern Territory, Julia T. Martinez
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Prior to the introduction of equal wages for Aboriginal Australians in 1968, it was not unusual for Aboriginal workers in the Northern Territory to be paid in kind; in basic food, clothing and tobacco. Some workers received a few shillings a week, but even this wage could be withheld completely or placed in a trust fund. In keeping with a supposedly humanitarian protectionist ethos, clothing was encouraged as a substitute for cash wages. But in practice employers rarely equated clothing with wages. Within the exploitative colonial context of Northern Territory few employers believed that any form of payment was owed …
