Alterity And The Maternal In Adoptee Phenomenology, Jane M. Lymer
Alterity And The Maternal In Adoptee Phenomenology, Jane M. Lymer
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The project that I embark upon in this paper is an enquiry into the role of the maternal body in the development of alterity in the child. I begin by drawing on a previous publication in Parrhesia, where I explore the phenomenology of the maternal-foetal affective relation through the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, outlining how the foetal body schema develops through maternally structured movement while in utero.

Community Gardens And Farmers' Markets: Exploring Representations Of Food Culture In The Illawarra, Paula Arvela
Community Gardens And Farmers' Markets: Exploring Representations Of Food Culture In The Illawarra, Paula Arvela
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Over recent years, farmers' markets and community gardens have increasingly become a feature of the urban landscape and a popular representation of food culture. In endorsing the increasingly popular paddock-to-plate ethos, they purportedly promote sustainable food systems thus contributing to the reduction of food miles, increase of food security and building of strong communities. For these reasons, farmers' markets and community gardens have become significant mechanisms for the expansion of local food systems, regional socio-cultural development, and local economic revitalisation. The Illawarra, in regional NSW, has embraced them wholeheartedly. Since the 1980s the region has experienced a transition to a …

No Man's Land: Migration, Masculinity And Ouyang Yu's The Eastern Slope Chronicle, Huang Zhong, Wenche Ommundsen
No Man's Land: Migration, Masculinity And Ouyang Yu's The Eastern Slope Chronicle, Huang Zhong, Wenche Ommundsen
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Eastern Slope Chronicle is a novel about migration, focusing on Dao Zhuang, a male Chinese migrant who seems unable to belong anywhere. It is also about the protagonist’s self-discovery and discovery of his home and host countries. This paper examines the impact of migration on gender norms and how tensions between different gender norms, particularly models for masculinity, play out in the novel. While previous criticism has addressed The Eastern Slope Chronicle from the perspective of cultural, ethnic, or national identity,1 issues surrounding the impact of migration on gender identity remain virtually unexplored.

Snapshots Of The Past, Ian C. Willis
Snapshots Of The Past, Ian C. Willis
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
When photography was still in its infancy it was used as a tool to capture moments that would become a chronology of the past for future gen- erations. Here is a snapshot of special moments from the Perkins family album of Cawdor. Harold E. Perkins was a smallholder dairy farmer at Cawdor living on the family farm of Verdundale. One of his pastimes was photography.
Cobbitty Sports Day Benefited The War Effort, Ian C. Willis
Cobbitty Sports Day Benefited The War Effort, Ian C. Willis
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
major event on the social calendar of a number of picturesque villages in the Camden district was the annual New Year's Day Sports Carnivals. They were part of the English traditions brought to the area by colonial immigrants, and in 1915 they were held in the villages of Cobbitty and The Oaks. Sports carnivals were wonderful community events that included all classes of villagers regardless of their station in life and during the First World War they held special appeal for patriotic fundraising. These social and cultural traditions were not isolated to the Camden district and have been held in …

The Early Days Of Elderslie, Ian C. Willis
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In 1929 Madeline Buck the granddaughter of Elderslie pioneer James Hawdon published a series of letters written in 1828 to friends in England. Hawdon had lived in Elderslie for five years from 1828. Hawdon's letters surfaced in England in 1929 amongst old family papers and have many interesting insights into life in the early days of the colony.
Camden Bibliography A Biography Of A Country Town, Ian C. Willis
Camden Bibliography A Biography Of A Country Town, Ian C. Willis
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Camden Bibliography is an attempt to highlight some of the research that addresses the notion of Camden as a country town and the subsequent urbanisation of the Local Government Area. The sources listed in the bibliography cover the geographic area of the Camden district as defined by this author in his thesis, War and Community: The Red Cross in Camden, 1939-1945 (pp. 22-24) and the current Camden LGA. This area includes a number of villages to the west of Camden and the Burragorang Valley, which are all integral to the town's history and any interpretations drawn from it.

The story of the construction of the history of the Camden area. There are many versions and they are all correct. They all put their own spin on the way they want to tell the Camden story.

In 1920 Arnold Bennett wrote Our Women, sub-titled Chapters on the Sex- Discord. The nine chapters on the 'sex-discord' surveyed various aspects of relations between the sexes in the immediate post-war years, drawing on contemporary understandings about the changing position of women as it did so. The general conclusion reached by Bennett was that many changes had occurred in the era following the close of the Victorian period that he viewed as fruitful and desirable. Not least of these was a breakdown of the old wasteful gender idealisation that characterised women as helpless and dependent and men as useful and …

Framing Possums: War, Sport And Patriotism In Depictions Of Brushtail Possums In New Zealand Print Media, Ally Mccrow-Young, Tobias Linné, Annie K. Potts
Framing Possums: War, Sport And Patriotism In Depictions Of Brushtail Possums In New Zealand Print Media, Ally Mccrow-Young, Tobias Linné, Annie K. Potts
Animal Studies Journal
There is a common saying in Aotearoa New Zealand: ‘the only good possum is a dead possum’. This colloquialism demonstrates much about the negative reputation and maltreatment of brushtail possums in New Zealand. Introduced to this country from their native Australia in the 1800s, possums thrived in their new predator-free environment. Possums' adaptability has since proved to be problematic, not least for the nation's lucrative meat and dairy industries. In the past few decades a concerted campaign mounted by the New Zealand government has targeted possums as ruthless pests, demonizing these marsupials to the extent that international tourists are even …
Miffy And Me: Developing An Auto-Ethnographic Approach To The Study Of Companion Animals And Human Loneliness, Adrian Franklin
Miffy And Me: Developing An Auto-Ethnographic Approach To The Study Of Companion Animals And Human Loneliness, Adrian Franklin
Animal Studies Journal
Despite the consistent claim that companion animals can and do alleviate human loneliness, a recent systematic review of quantitative studies of human loneliness and companion animals (Gilbey and Tani 2015) found no evidence to support this ‘belief’ (as they put it), except in animal-assisted therapy (and even there the authors were not entirely convinced that they do). Taking their article as a starting point this paper develops a critical examination of quantitative methodologies that have been used to date and suggests that they have not taken into account the extent and complexity of contemporary human loneliness or how companion animals …
Dingoes And Dog-Whistling: A Cultural Politics Of Race And Species In Australia, Fiona Probyn-Rapsey
Dingoes And Dog-Whistling: A Cultural Politics Of Race And Species In Australia, Fiona Probyn-Rapsey
Animal Studies Journal
For the last 30 years in Australia, the extinction of the dingo has been a subject of great concern. But what this usually means is not that dingoes are being pushed to the brink because of gunshot or baits (though such persecution is happening[1]). In fact, it is not even so much a matter of dingo death but rather dingo birth, or the queer[2] relations of dingo and domestic/wild dog, that is the major concern. As Laurie Corbett once wrote: ‘cross-breeding is common and the pure dingo gene pool is being swamped’. His words (though he is by no means …
A Day With Crows - Rarity, Nativity And The Violent-Care Of Conservation, Thom Van Dooren
A Day With Crows - Rarity, Nativity And The Violent-Care Of Conservation, Thom Van Dooren
Animal Studies Journal
This article explores the intermingled violence and care of endangered species conservation. The structure of the paper takes the form of a narrative account of a day spent at the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center in Hawai‘i, observing staff taking care of a captive population of critically endangered Hawaiian crows (Corvus hawaiiensis). Over the course of the day some animals were cared for (especially endangered birds), while others were trapped and killed as part of the conservation management of the larger property (i.e. feral pigs). This article works with these examples and the broader context of the Hawaiian crow project to …
The Ongoing Impact Of Domestic Violence On Animal Welfare, Catherine M. Tiplady, Deborah B. Walsh, J. C. Phillips
The Ongoing Impact Of Domestic Violence On Animal Welfare, Catherine M. Tiplady, Deborah B. Walsh, J. C. Phillips
Animal Studies Journal
A study of five women who had left violent relationships six months previously was undertaken to elicit information on the importance of companion animals during the violence and subsequent period. The questions focused on the women’s experiences of companion animal ownership during domestic violence, incidents of animal abuse/neglect, animals’ behavioural changes, experiences of veterinarians as a source of support and perpetrators’ use of human/animal directed violence. We found that (1) companion animal behavioural changes persisted after the violent relationship, (2) perpetrators selectively controlled their violent behaviour and (3) veterinarians were not considered useful sources of support by all women interviewed. …
Horses In Modern, New, And Contemporary Circus, Katie Lavers
Horses In Modern, New, And Contemporary Circus, Katie Lavers
Animal Studies Journal
Circus is an art form that developed around horses and trick riding. Philip Astley, an excavalry man who had recently returned to London after fighting in Europe in the Seven Years War (1756- 63), founded Modern Circus when he introduced clowns, musicians and acrobats to cover the changeover in his riding displays. Daring, acrobatic stunt riding remained the central most important element in modern circus. The strong sense of connection developed between a cavalryman and his horse through the sense of shared mortality on the battlefield was an important element informing the presentation of horses in modern circus. Running counter …
