Non-Advertising Alcohol Promotions In Licensed Premises: Does The Code Of Practice Ensure Responsible Promotion Of Alcohol?, Sandra C. Jones, Melissa Lynch

Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)

Introduction and Aims. Binge drinking is a major public health issue in Australia, particularly among young people. There has been a considerable focus on alcohol advertising, among both researchers and policy makers, resulting in efforts to bring about some level of regulation of unacceptable advertising practices. However - despite the existence of a Code of Practice for Responsible Promotion of Liquor Products which provides 'a framework of practices which are considered acceptable and reasonable' for licensed premises - there are few, if any, data on the nature and extent of promotions which could arguably fall under either 'acceptable' or 'unacceptable' …

Recognising 'Japaneseness': The Politics Of Recognition By The Philippine Nikkeijin, Shun Ohno

Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)

"Ethnic identities" are not only made and re-made, but are created through a constant interplay with other evolving identities, this is what Tessa Morris-Suzuki (2000,p.165), a British-Australian historian, has stated about peoples living in the modern nation-state.

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.

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 …

The Internet: Simulacrum Of Democracy?, Eric Loo

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

This chapter argues that depending on what criteria is used to evaluate the Internet’s democratizing potential, one can easily arrive at disparate assessments of the medium’s impact on society. If the Internet is assumed to be a tool that inherently enhances freedom of communication and social mobilization, then the medium will likely be evaluated positively. Essentially, technology per se does not foster nor hamper participatory democratic culture. Instead, users of the technology determine if the civic and democratizing potential of interactive communication technology can be realized. Therefore, the Internet is only a tool that enables users to disseminate their ideas …

Artists And Designers As Collectors: The Aesthetics Of Digital Journaling, Aldegonda Bruekers, Joanne C. Law

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

The visual journal has been a constant companion to artists and designers. It fulfills the multiple functions of a scrapbook, a sketchpad, an observation notebook, a filing cabinet and an archive. Collecting ideas and artifacts using digital devices is an important process for artists and designers today. However, the accessibility provided by these tools also leads to problems in traditional visual journaling. The increasingly diverse formats (such as, audio, video, or digital codes) can pose difficulties when working in conjunction with tangible materials. The storage, access, and usage of materials also need to be reconsidered. The key question is not …

I La Galigo By Robert Wilson, Margaret M. Hamilton

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

No doubt a reference to Einstein’s Twin Paradox constitutes a seemingly incongruous opening to an appraisal of Robert Wilson’s latest production I La Galigo, inspired by an epic poem from South Sulawesi. However, Einstein is not only the subject of one of Wilson’s most acclaimed productions, but this brief allusion to his theory encapsulates the hypnotic dilation of time intrinsic to Wilson’s theatre. Wilson is known for his ability to transform the stage into a temporal sculpture that renders the presence of time aesthetically tangible through duration and repetition. His unique spatial construction imposes a kinetic logic on objects and …

Bilateral Petersham, Lucas M. Ihlein

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

After I finished my blog project Bilateral Kellerberrin in WA (April-May 2005) I had an epiphany.

In Kellerberrin, I had an amazing time “getting to know the townsfolk” 2000km from home, but when I got back to my own suburb, I was struck by how little I knew my own neighbours.

So I decided to do the exact same project at home: and that’s what became Bilateral Petersham: April-May 2006.

Embedded Ecologies: Teaching Digital Theory In Art And Design, Su Ballard, C Mccaw

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

We are both researchers in a traditional sense and also design and art practitioners. We work in an environment where our students make things as well as study theory. Our hypotheses surround our experiences, both as academic 'makers' and through our observations in the classroom. Our position is, that if practice and theory are integrated and embedded within art and design educational experience, meaning is brought to theory and thoughtful positioning to practice. There is a wide range of literature on the theory/practice relationship within art school environments. We draw on this material but in many ways diverge from it …

Susan Norrie - Exhibition Catalogue Essay: Taking Time, Su Ballard

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

In ENOLA this shifted perception is multiplied many times over. We see the camera as it sees, we see the visitors to the themepark looking at the world below them as they step carefully between its buildings, we watch the tour guides watching that scene, we see the spaces of the installation, we see the stools which stand mutely before the screen, we see ourselves amidst others watching the screen. At no point do any of these levels of vision refer back to reality, but instead keep us aware of the multiple and material structures of the architectures of the …

Bilateral Blogging, Lucas Ihlein

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

In this discussion I consider the social and aesthetic functions of participatory visual art practice, with specific reference to my recent project "Bilateral Kellerberrin". Nicholas Bourriaud, in his book Relational Aesthetics, argues that the current era is characterised by the “reification” of social interactions. For Bourriaud, everyday interactions have become commodified and transformed into products which can be sold back to us. Bourriaud sees a role for contemporary visual art in resisting this commodification of everyday experience. He asserts that art is able to bloom in the gaps which are not controlled or mediated by commerce. Some art practices, then, …

Life Of The System 1980 - 2005, Jacky Redgate

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

“In 1980 I worked with sculptural objects that I exhibited as tableaux. They were based on a diary my mother wrote when I was hospitalized as a three-year old child. The sculptures were lost and I recently discovered photographic documentation of them shot in sunlight. I have enlarged them and restaged them as artistic documentation”.

Saltwaterfreshwater, Ian A. Mclean

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

Aboriginal and settler Australians share the same place, and issues such as water, which this exhibition addresses, are important to each. So it should be no surprise that exhibitions combining Aboriginal and settler art are now commonplace. Yet each remains distinct from the other, despite the increasing tendency of Aboriginal art towards the aestheticised compositions of modernism, and settler art picking up on Aboriginal patterns, rhythms and colours. In this exhibition Richard Woldendorp's aerial photographs are a good example of the latter. While they have that Aboriginal 'look', they lack the intimate tactility of Aboriginal art: they are ethereal, not …

Regional Literature And ‘The Liminal’: Exploring The Spaces In-Between National And International Literatures, Per Henningsgaard

English Faculty Publications and Presentations

Regional literature, that often overlooked and much maligned cluster of writings whose origins are frequently said to be anywhere but here, has actually played an important role in the story of Australian literature. The theme of nationalism, which reigned as the master narrative of Australian literature from early in the history of white settlers in Australia until perhaps the 1970s, merged with or fragmented into (depending on your perspective) regionalism in the 1980s. In the 1990s, internationalism emerged from this transitional phase as the new master narrative of Australian literature. Regionalism seems to have acted as a liminal state in …

Defining A French Atlantic Empire: Some Material Culture Evidence, Robert S. Duplessis

History Faculty Works

Des historiens soulignèrent souvent la fragilité—voire l’inexistence—d’un empire français au 18e siècle. Néanmoins, un grand nombre de données, surtout d’ordre commercial et démographique, révèlent l’existence de croissance impressionante et dans la métropole et dans les colonies atlantiques de la France. Au moyen d’un examen de la consommation du textile dans trois colonies—la Nouvelle France, la Louisiane, et le Saint-Domingue—on peut déçeler, au cours du 18e siècle, l’apparitiondes cultures matérielles spécifiques à chaque colonie, d’une culture matérielle impériale qui unissait le métropole aux colonies, et d’une culture matérielle atlantique commune à tous les empires dans cet espace. Ces tendances suggèrent la …

Restoring The Proclamation: Abraham Lincoln, Confiscation, And Emancipation In The Civil War Era, Allen C. Guelzo

Civil War Era Studies Faculty Publications

Like the business cycle, the reputations of great actors in history seem to go through alternating periods of boom and bust. Harry Truman was scorned in his day as an incompetent bumbler. A half-century later, he is regarded as a gutsy and principled president. Andrew Jackson was hailed as the champion of the common man and the enemy of power-mad bankers. Since the 1970s, he has become the champion only of the White man, a rancid hater of Indians, and a leering political monstrosity. John Quincy Adams was, for more than a century after his death, dismissed as a dyspeptic …

The Eisenhowers At Twilight: A Visit To The Eisenhower Farm, 1967, Michael J. Birkner

Adams County History

Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower relished life in Gettysburg. As he often remarked to friends, in retirement Ike sought to secure a piece of property that he could leave in better shape than he found it. The purchase in November 1950 of the 189-acre Redding Farm on the Millertown Road, only a short distance from Confederate A venue, was the outcome. Of course the Eisenhowers could have purchased a sizable farm in any number of locations. A Gettysburg address was predicated on their warm memories of a six-month sojourn in the borough in 1918 and recognition that Gettysburg was a convenient …

Economías De Redención: "La Agricultura De La Zona Tórrida" (1826) De Andrés Bello, Alvaro Kaempfer

Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Faculty Publications

Si “Alocución a la Poesía” (1823) de Andrés Bello era un llamado a dejar Europa, cruzar el Atlántico y fundar la historicidad del Nuevo Mundo, “La agricultura de la Zona Tórrida” (1826) sería su factura programática. Sobre un proyecto poético inconcluso que Bello tituló América, la poesía, matriz cultural de Occidente en el primero, traza, en el segundo, la conversión de los hijos del colonialismo en sus nuevos agentes poéticos e históricos. “Agricultura” liga la genealogía de esa América, “del Sol joven esposa / del antiguo Océano hija postrera” según “Alocución,” a la voluntad transatlántica que convertirá su naturaleza en …

The Aesthetic Hermeneutics Of Hans-Georg Gadamer And Hans Urs Von Balthasar, Jason Paul Bourgeois

Marian Library Faculty Publications

This book compares two figures that are not often associated together within the field of Roman Catholic theology, namely Hans-Georg Gadamer and Hans Urs von Balthasar. This work attempts to find deep structural affinities in the aesthetics and hermeneutics of both thinkers, as expressed through shared metaphysical and anthropological assumptions about the dialogical nature of truth and interpretation. The body of the work will be devoted to analyzing these assumptions of Gadamer and Balthasar, both individually and in comparison with each other. However, this preface is necessary to place the concerns of this book into a broader theological context.
