Enactive Social Cognition: Diachronic Constitution & Coupled Anticipation, Alan Jurgens, Michael D. Kirchhoff
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
A Global Review Of Farmers' Perceptions Of Agricultural Risks And Risk Management Strategies, Thi Tam Duong, Thomas D. Brewer, Jo Luck, Kerstin Zander

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 …

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
'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

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
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 …

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 …

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

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

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 …
Perceptions Of Islam And Muslims In Contemporary Japan, Atsushi Yamagata
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 …
Spiral Jetty, Geoaesthetics, And Art: Writing The Anthropocene, Su Ballard, Elizabeth Linden
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 …

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

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 …

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.

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
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.
