South-South Cooperation In Southeast Asia: From Bandung And Solidarity To Norms And Rivalry, Susan N. Engel Jan 2019

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 Jan 2019

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 …


Controlling The Clock-How Showing And Telling Impact Time In Short-Short Fiction, Shady E. Cosgrove Jan 2019

Controlling The Clock-How Showing And Telling Impact Time In Short-Short Fiction, Shady E. Cosgrove

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

'Show, don't tell' is a common axiom in creative writing classes but the short-short story form complicates this idea. Often, in micro- and flash fiction it is through telling and implication that showing occurs. Taking that into account, I will argue that in the micro- and flash context, where brevity defines the narrative parameters, the relationship between showing and telling is one connected to pacing and the narrative construction of time. That is, what the author chooses to show and tell often impacts on the representation of temporality. This will be explored critically and creatively via case studies 'Insect Wisdom' …


Beyond The Heroic Stereotype: Sidney Jeffryes And The Mythologising Of Australian Antarctic History, Elizabeth Leane, Ben Maddison, Kimberley Norris Jan 2019

Beyond The Heroic Stereotype: Sidney Jeffryes And The Mythologising Of Australian Antarctic History, Elizabeth Leane, Ben Maddison, Kimberley Norris

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In 2010 the Australian Antarctic Names and Medals Committee announced that it had named a glacier near Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica in honour of Sidney Jeffryes. Jeffryes was a member of Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE), 1911-14, and the decision to attach his name to an Antarctic feature, coming just before the centenary of the AAE's departure, reflected a gradual historical revisionism around the expedition occurring at this time. Seeking to 'honour … historically significant figures … whose contributions [to the AAE] have not yet been recognised', the Committee also attached the names of two other previously ignored …


Spiral Jetty, Geoaesthetics, And Art: Writing The Anthropocene, Su Ballard, Elizabeth Linden Jan 2019

Spiral Jetty, Geoaesthetics, And Art: Writing The Anthropocene, Su Ballard, Elizabeth Linden

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Despite the call for artists and writers to respond to the global situation of the Anthropocene, the 'people disciplines' have been little published and heard in the major journals of global environmental change. This essay approaches the Anthropocene from a new perspective: that of art. We take as our case study the work of American land artist Robert Smithson who, as a writer and sculptor, declared himself a 'geological agent' in 1972. We suggest that Smithson's land art sculpture Spiral Jetty could be the first marker of the Anthropocene in art, and that, in addition, his creative writing models narrative …


I’M Not Convinced That The Celebratory ‘We’Re Having A Feminist Moment’ Helps Feminism, Sharon Crozier-De Rosa Jan 2019

I’M Not Convinced That The Celebratory ‘We’Re Having A Feminist Moment’ Helps Feminism, Sharon Crozier-De Rosa

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

It hurts to say this on International Women’s Day. The IWD2019 website says: ‘From grassroots activism to worldwide action, we are entering an exciting period of history where the world expects balance.’ I want to join in the celebrations while remaining mindful of the work that has yet to be done to reach this year’s aspirational theme of #BalanceforBetter. But one thing stops me – the relationship between notions of ‘waves’, ‘turns’, ‘moments’, ‘phases’ and memory.


These 'Job Snob' Claims Don't Match The Evidence, Greg Marston, Gaby Ramia, Michelle A. Peterie, Roger Patulny Jan 2019

These 'Job Snob' Claims Don't Match The Evidence, Greg Marston, Gaby Ramia, Michelle A. Peterie, Roger Patulny

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

The "job snobs" are back on the agenda. With some in the Australian government's own ranks arguing for a lift in the unemployment benefit, senior ministers appear to be upping the rhetoric about joblessness being a matter of choice for many.


The Aquarian Uprising: America In 1969, Anthony I. Ashbolt Jan 2019

The Aquarian Uprising: America In 1969, Anthony I. Ashbolt

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

The year 1969 was a fascinating era in American history. It was a time of great achievement but also a time of great turbulence. The rebellions of the decade exploded, giving way to the chaos and division of the 1970s.


Book Review: You Daughters Of Freedom: The Australians Who Won The Vote And Inspired The World, Sharon Crozier-De Rosa Jan 2019

Book Review: You Daughters Of Freedom: The Australians Who Won The Vote And Inspired The World, Sharon Crozier-De Rosa

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In 1911, while visiting London, Australian suffragist Vida Goldstein was embroiled in a heated debate with a male correspondent to the British Anti-Suffrage Review about the relative merits of British and Australian women voters. The British man was exasperated by Goldstein’s claims to parity. Australian women, voting as they had been since the early 1900s, voted only on provincial matters. If women were to vote in England, they would have a hand in directing the affairs of a vast and troublesome empire. Surely, he said, ‘not even the most enthusiastic Australian would dream of suggesting that the Imperial Parliament was …


International Environmental Law Principles Relevant To Exploitation Activity In The Area, Robin M. Warner Jan 2019

International Environmental Law Principles Relevant To Exploitation Activity In The Area, Robin M. Warner

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

The International Seabed Authority is responsible for providing effective protection for the marine environment from the harmful effects of activities in the Area under Article 145 of UNCLOS. To meet this challenge, it must determine the relevant environmental governance principles applicable to each stage of an exploration and exploitation activity and how they can be operationalized in practical terms. This article discusses some key principles of international environmental law and management which are potentially relevant to the exploitation process and in particular the approval of a plan of work for exploitation activities. It also examines the potential legal thresholds for …


Space Perception, Movement, And Insight: Attuning To The Space Of Everyday Life After Major Weight Loss, Eli Natvik, Karen Groven, Malfrid Raheim, Eva Gjengedal, Shaun Gallagher Jan 2019

Space Perception, Movement, And Insight: Attuning To The Space Of Everyday Life After Major Weight Loss, Eli Natvik, Karen Groven, Malfrid Raheim, Eva Gjengedal, Shaun Gallagher

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Physiotherapists are well placed to help people adjust and engage meaningfully with the world following major weight loss. Recent research indicates that the body size a patient has lived with for years can continue to affect movement and perception even after largescale weight loss. This article explores this discrepancy in depth from the perspective of phenomenology and space perception and through the concepts of body image, body schema, and affordances. It draws on an empirical example in which a nautical engineer described his lived experience of returning to work following bariatric surgery and the discrepancies he experienced while adjusting to …


Young People, Online Fandom And The Perils Of Child Pornography Legislation In Australia, Mark J. Mclelland Jan 2019

Young People, Online Fandom And The Perils Of Child Pornography Legislation In Australia, Mark J. Mclelland

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In 1971 the editors of Oz magazine were prosecuted for obscenity in a London courtroom for their infamous ‘School Kids Issue’, almost the entire contents of which had been created by a team of young people. In today’s Web 2.0 environment, similar kinds of content to that featured in the magazine is created by young people and made ubiquitous on fan websites. In particular ‘manips’ (manipulated images) of all kinds of pop culture heroes from boy band members to characters from Harry Potter are inserted into pornographic contexts. Whereas in the 1970s it was obscenity legislation that was used to …


Dynamic Paths Of Innovation In Natural Resource Industries In Australia And Norway Since World War Two, Simon Ville, Olav Wicken, John Dean Jan 2019

Dynamic Paths Of Innovation In Natural Resource Industries In Australia And Norway Since World War Two, Simon Ville, Olav Wicken, John Dean

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper challenges Ed Barbier's influential contribution to the resources and economic development debate and extends our understanding of the process of resource-based development in two relevant economies since World War Two. We argue that: the expansion of resource-based industries remained a viable path of economic development in the 'contemporary era' since the 1950s; nations have modernised their economies while continuing to invest in resource industries; and innovation frontiers more than physical frontiers shaped the development of natural resource industries. We build our argument by providing a comparative study of two successful resource-based economies, Australia and Norway. Our focus is …


Gendered Emotion Management And Teacher Outcomes In Secondary School Teaching: A Review, Rebecca Olson, Jordan J. Mckenzie, Kathy Mills, Roger Patulny, Alberto Bellocchi, Fiona Caristo Jan 2019

Gendered Emotion Management And Teacher Outcomes In Secondary School Teaching: A Review, Rebecca Olson, Jordan J. Mckenzie, Kathy Mills, Roger Patulny, Alberto Bellocchi, Fiona Caristo

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This systematic search and review of international literature (1979-2017) finds links between emotion management and gender (in 1/2 the studies), and teaching attrition outcomes (1/3). Results contextualise these connections, suggesting female teachers use deep acting strategies, though experience more emotional exhaustion and unpleasant emotions. Male teachers practice distancing and surface acting, and experience depersonalisation, but also success in controlling disruptions and stimulating subject interest. Studies are limited by self-reported data and omission of school context, but highlight important teacher organisational identifications, suggesting future research use observational methods for understanding emotion management as an embedded, interactionist phenomenon.


Acting Oneself As Another: An Actor's Empathy For Her Character, Shaun Gallagher, Julia Gallagher Jan 2019

Acting Oneself As Another: An Actor's Empathy For Her Character, Shaun Gallagher, Julia Gallagher

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

What does it mean for an actor to empathize with the character she is playing? We review different theories of empathy and of acting. We then consider the notion of "twofoldness" (Wollheim), which has been used to characterize the observer or audience perspective on the relation between actor and character (Smith). This same kind of twofoldness or double attunement applies from the perspective of the actor herself who must, at certain points of preparation, distinguish between the character portrayed and her own portrayal effected in her craft. We argue that this concept helps us to understand how the actor can …

Killed In The Line Of Work Duties: We Need To Fix Dangerous Loopholes In Health And Safety Laws, Diana J. Kelly Jan 2019

Killed In The Line Of Work Duties: We Need To Fix Dangerous Loopholes In Health And Safety Laws, Diana J. Kelly

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

There is a pressing need to define employer responsibility when there is a "triangulated" employment relationship - such as between a worker, labour hire organisation and a host employer. This is an area where unions have rightly been calling for greater clarity and specificity.


Enactive Social Cognition: Diachronic Constitution & Coupled Anticipation, Alan Jurgens, Michael D. Kirchhoff Jan 2019

Enactive Social Cognition: Diachronic Constitution & Coupled Anticipation, Alan Jurgens, Michael D. Kirchhoff

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper targets the constitutive basis of social cognition. It begins by describing the traditional and still dominant cognitivist view. Cognitivism assumes internalism about the realisers of social cognition; thus, the embodied and embedded elements of intersubjective engagement are ruled out from playing anything but a basic causal role in an account of social cognition. It then goes on to advance and clarify an alternative to the cognitivist view; namely, an enactive account of social cognition. It does so first by articulating a diachronic constitutive account for how embodied engagement can play a constitutive role in social cognition. It then …

Why Slow Tv Deserves Our (Divided) Attention, Aaron L. Burton

SBS's suite of slow TV programs, "Slow Summer", arrived at a fortuitous time in our annual media trajectory, when we were briefly relieved of the busyness plaguing our lives.


Low-Key Nsw Election Likely To Reveal A City-Country Divide, Gregory C. Melleuish Jan 2019

Low-Key Nsw Election Likely To Reveal A City-Country Divide, Gregory C. Melleuish

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

It may come as news to many people living in New South Wales, but there is a state election to be held on March 23. There has been little of the hullabaloo associated with elections, although I have noticed the occasional election poster in the front yards of houses as I walk along the street.


Conceptions Of Human Rights, David A. Neil Jan 2019

Conceptions Of Human Rights, David A. Neil

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This chapter considers moral realism, our capacity for moral judgment, the diversity of systems of moral belief, and the normative force of human rights. It argues that the justification of moral practice, as we ordinarily understand it, does not require belief in God. Indeed, in some areas of ethical theory, atheism has explanatory advantages over theism.

Mexico's new president has reduced his own salary and demanded that all federal workers – including lawmakers and judges – take a massive pay cut, too. That may be illegal.


Babashook: The Babadook, Gay Iconography And Internet Cultures, Renee Middlemost Jan 2019

Babashook: The Babadook, Gay Iconography And Internet Cultures, Renee Middlemost

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Upon its 2014 release, Australian film The Babadook (Kent, 2014), gained critical acclaim worldwide. While the film gathered high praise, its domestic release was impeded by a lack of marketing support and ongoing debate about the quality of Australian horror films. By 2015, The Babadook was available to stream on Netflix in the United States, and one would imagine, to gradually fade from view. Yet a seemingly innocent categorization error on Netflix in 2016, which listed The Babadook as an LGBT interest film, resulted in a revival of the film's popularity as a cult film and the emergence of the …

The vast developmental opportunities offered by the world's coasts and oceans have attracted the attention of governments, private enterprises, philanthropic organizations, and international conservation organizations. High-profile dialogue and policy decisions on the future of the ocean are informed largely by economic and ecological research. Key insights from the social sciences raise concerns for food and nutrition security, livelihoods and social justice, but these have yet to gain traction with investors and the policy discourse on transforming ocean governance. The largest group of ocean-users - women and men who service, fish and trade from small-scale fisheries (SSF) - argue that they …


It's All About The Sex, Or Is It? Humans, Horses And Temperament, Kate Fenner, Georgina Caspar, Michelle Hyde, Cathrynne Henshall, Navneet Dhand, Fiona S. Probyn-Rapsey, Katherine Dashper, Andrew Mclean, Paul Mcgreevy Jan 2019

We propose that the anthropomorphic application of gender stereotypes to animals influences human-animal interactions and human expectations, often with negative consequences for female animals. An online survey was conducted to explore riders' perceptions of horse temperament and suitability for ridden work, based on horse sex. The questionnaire asked respondents to allocate three hypothetical horses (a mare, gelding and stallion) to four riders compromising a woman, man, girl and boy. Riders were described as equally capable of riding each horse and each horse was described as suitable for all riders. Participants were also asked which horses (mares, geldings or stallions) were …


Normativity With A Human Face: Placing Intentional Norms And Intentional Agents Back In Nature, Glenda L. Satne, Bernardo Ainbinder Jan 2019

Normativity With A Human Face: Placing Intentional Norms And Intentional Agents Back In Nature, Glenda L. Satne, Bernardo Ainbinder

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Many philosophers identify normativity as the distinctive mark of intentionality. Among them, John McDowell has underscored the need to overcome any form of dualism between reason and nature in order to properly account for the way in which such norms can be about the world around us, dubbing this project a "rehabilitation of empiricism." Steven Crowell argues that McDowell's notion of experience falls short in accounting for the way in which we can experience the world as normative and is hence insufficient for rehabilitating empiricism in McDowell's sense. In this chapter, we will contend that Crowell's attempt to provide a …


Perceptions Of Islam And Muslims In Contemporary Japan, Atsushi Yamagata Jan 2019

Perceptions Of Islam And Muslims In Contemporary Japan, Atsushi Yamagata

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In Japan, the population of Muslim residents is estimated to be only around 170,000; however, the number of Muslims visiting or living in Japan is expected to increase in the future. There have been some studies to date focusing on the development of Muslim communities in Japan, but there has only been limited discussion of perceptions of Islam and Muslims in Japan. In this article, I explore perceptions of Islam and Muslims by analysing incidences of official surveillance of Muslims in Japan, displays of anti-Islamic sentiment by ultra-conservative activists, and newspaper articles about Muslims in Japan. Following the recent influx …

The Irish border, and subsequently Irish politics, have been declared ‘troublesome’ in negotiations over Brexit – Britain’s exit out of the European Union. As the BBC reports, "In 2018, the Irish border assumed a greater role in British politics than at probably any time since it was created." Yet, ongoing attempts to make sense of Brexit has led some commentators to claim that it is not troublesome Irish politics – it is not even Britain’s relationship with Europe – but rather, it is the relationship between the four-nation state United Kingdom and British democracy that is the problem.


As Question Time Becomes Political Theatre, Does It Still Play A Vital Role In Government?, Gregory C. Melleuish Jan 2019

As Question Time Becomes Political Theatre, Does It Still Play A Vital Role In Government?, Gregory C. Melleuish

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Question Time is, in a sense, the highlight of any day of parliament. It is televised and attracts the attention of the media, providing political leaders with fairly regular public exposure. If parliament is about theatre, this is the headlining act. It is a major opportunity for the government of the day to strut its stuff and for the opposition to embarrass the government. In theory, question time is about accountability. But in practice, it is about politics.
