Australian Wool And Chinese Industrialization, 1901-41, Peter Gibson, Simon Ville Jan 2019

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.


Social Networking Sites And Learning In International Relations: The Impact Of Platforms, Josh Pallas, Joakim Eidenfalk, Susan N. Engel Jan 2019

Social Networking Sites And Learning In International Relations: The Impact Of Platforms, Josh Pallas, Joakim Eidenfalk, Susan N. Engel

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

This article reports on a pilot undergraduate subject that incorporated a range of technology-enhanced learning approaches including online lectures, an online site for in and out of class communications, and strong encouragement for students to blog and use Twitter. This paper evaluates student engagement through the social networking sites (SNS), focusing on the online communication and content platform. We examine whether changing from an educationally oriented SNS platform to Facebook impacted on student engagement and feedback. To achieve this, both empirical data and qualitative student feedback were used.


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 …


Buzz And Pipelines: Knowledge And Decision-Making In A Global Business Services Precinct, Simon Ville, Claire Wright Jan 2019

Buzz And Pipelines: Knowledge And Decision-Making In A Global Business Services Precinct, Simon Ville, Claire Wright

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

This paper provides a historical analysis of an urban services district through its examination of the Melbourne wool trade precinct in the 1920s. It is a study of both a local and global community whose social and spatial interaction facilitated large-scale trade of a complex commodity that has rarely been examined. Geographic mapping of the local and global connections of the precinct has been combined with archival evidence. It reveals the "buzz" of the Melbourne precinct, created by local social and professional connections among wool brokers and buyers. "Pipelines" to wool growing and textile regions were developed through overseas branches …


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 …


Consonant Deletion And Eastern Andalusian Spanish Vowels: The Effect Of Word-Final /S/, /R/ And /Θ/ Deletion On /I/, Alfredo Herrero De Haro Jan 2019

Consonant Deletion And Eastern Andalusian Spanish Vowels: The Effect Of Word-Final /S/, /R/ And /Θ/ Deletion On /I/, Alfredo Herrero De Haro

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

Syllable-final consonant deletion has been widely documented in Eastern Andalusian Spanish, although the effects of consonant deletion on preceding vowels are still unknown. Studies analyzing syllable-final consonants in Eastern Andalusian Spanish have focused on /-s/, disregarding other consonants which are also deleted in this position. The present paper aims to extend this traditional focus by analyzing how /-s/, /-r/ and /-θ/ deletion affects preceding /i/. After analyzing 383 samples of /i/ word-finally and before underlying word-final /s/, /r/ and /θ/ in Western Almería (Eastern Andalusia), it is confirmed that the deletion of these three consonants changes the quality of preceding …


Colonialism And Male Domestic Service Across The Asia Pacific, Julia T. Martinez, Claire K. Lowrie, Frances Steel, Victoria Haskins Jan 2019

Colonialism And Male Domestic Service Across The Asia Pacific, Julia T. Martinez, Claire K. Lowrie, Frances Steel, Victoria Haskins

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

Examining the role of Asian and indigenous male servants across the Asia Pacific from the late-19th century to the 1930s, this study shows how their ubiquitous presence in these purportedly 'humble' jobs gave them a degree of cultural influence that has been largely overlooked in the literature on labour mobility in the age of empire. With case studies from British Hong Kong, Singapore, Northern Australia, Fiji and British Columbia, French Indochina, the American Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, the book delves into the intimate and often conflicted relationships between European and American colonists and their servants. It explores the …


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 …


A Global Review Of Farmers' Perceptions Of Agricultural Risks And Risk Management Strategies, Thi Tam Duong, Thomas D. Brewer, Jo Luck, Kerstin Zander Jan 2019

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 …

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.


Large Scale Marine Protected Areas: Current Status And Consideration Of Socio-Economic Dimensions, Chris Smyth, Quentin A. Hanich Jan 2019

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 …


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 Jan 2019

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 …


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.

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 …


Corporate Social Responsibility, Human Rights And Clothing Workers In Bangladesh And Malaysia, Vicki D. Crinis Jan 2019

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 …


Constructively Tough? Neither Side Has Committed To Fully Adopting Perhaps The Most Important Recommendation Of The Banking Royal Commission, Andrew D. Schmulow Jan 2019

Constructively Tough? Neither Side Has Committed To Fully Adopting Perhaps The Most Important Recommendation Of The Banking Royal Commission, Andrew D. Schmulow

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

Among the many recommendations of the banking Royal Commission was a Board of Oversight for the two regulators in charge of financial institutions; the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority: ASIC and APRA. Since then APRA's own internal review conducted by deputy chairman John Lonsdale and NSW Supreme Court Judge Robert Austin, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission commissioner Sarah Court and UNSW professor Dimity Kingsford-Smith has found APRA to be soft on enforcement and timid by comparison to its international peers. Nonetheless, and to demonstrate that APRA still doesn't get what it doesn't get, its …

'Social License To Operate' In The Blue Economy, Michelle A. Voyer, Judith Van Leeuwen Jan 2019

'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 …


Nano-Sunscreens - A Double-Edged Sword In Protecting Consumers From Harm: Viewing Australian Regulatory Policies Through The Lenses Of The European Union, S M. Solaiman, Jennifer Algie, Shahnaz Bakand, Ronald Sluyter, Vitor Sencadas, Michael L. F Lerch, Xu-Feng Huang, Konstantin K. Konstantinov, Philip J. Barker Jan 2019

Nano-Sunscreens - A Double-Edged Sword In Protecting Consumers From Harm: Viewing Australian Regulatory Policies Through The Lenses Of The European Union, S M. Solaiman, Jennifer Algie, Shahnaz Bakand, Ronald Sluyter, Vitor Sencadas, Michael L. F Lerch, Xu-Feng Huang, Konstantin K. Konstantinov, Philip J. Barker

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

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 …

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 …

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 …
