How To Determine The Boundaries Of The Mind: A Markov Blanket Proposal, Michael D. Kirchhoff, Julian Kiverstein
How To Determine The Boundaries Of The Mind: A Markov Blanket Proposal, Michael D. Kirchhoff, Julian Kiverstein
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
We develop a truism of commonsense psychology that perception and action constitute the boundaries of the mind. We do so however not on the basis of commonsense psychology, but by using the notion of a Markov blanket originally employed to describe the topological properties of causal networks. We employ the Markov blanket formalism to propose precise criteria for demarcating the boundaries of the mind that unlike other rival candidates for "marks of the cognitive" avoids begging the question in the extended mind debate. Our criteria imply that the boundary of the mind is nested and multiscale sometimes extending beyond the …
Economic Cognitive Institutions, Enrico Petracca, Shaun Gallagher
Economic Cognitive Institutions, Enrico Petracca, Shaun Gallagher
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Copyright © Millennium Economics Ltd 2020. This paper introduces the notion of 'cognitive' institution and discusses its relevance to institutional economics. Cognitive institutions are conceptually founded on the philosophy of mind notion of extended mind, broadened to also include the distinctly social, institutional, and normative dimensions. Cognitive institutions are defined as institutions that not just allow agents to perform certain cognitive processes in the social domain but, more importantly, without which some of the agents' cognitive processes would not exist or even be possible. The externalist point of view of the extended mind has already had some influence in institutional …
Anticipatory Action: Active Inference In Embodied Cognitive Activity, Ian Robertson, Michael D. Kirchhoff
Anticipatory Action: Active Inference In Embodied Cognitive Activity, Ian Robertson, Michael D. Kirchhoff
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper addresses the cognitive basis of anticipatory action. It does so by taking up what we call the acuity problem: the problem of explaining how skilled action seems, on the one hand, to be executed and unfold automatically and reflexively and, on the other hand, to involve anticipation of context-sensitive and constantly changing conditions in performance. The acuity problem invites two contemporary forms of reply, which we label non-inferential enactivism and Helmholtzian inference, respectively. We advance a third avenue for replying to the acuity problem, which takes active inference under the free energy principle as its theoretical starting point. …
Developing A Short-Term Phenomenological Training Program: A Report Of Methodological Lessons, Katsunori Miyahara, Takuya Niikawa, Hiro Hamada, Satoshi Nishida
Developing A Short-Term Phenomenological Training Program: A Report Of Methodological Lessons, Katsunori Miyahara, Takuya Niikawa, Hiro Hamada, Satoshi Nishida
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2020 Elsevier Ltd We discuss our attempts to develop a short-term phenomenological training program for training naïve participants in phenomenological skills. After reviewing existing methodologies for collecting phenomenological data and clarifying the benefit of the short-term training approach, we present two training programs and two experiments that tested their effectiveness. Experiment 1 tested the two-stage training program, which consists of (i) the illusion training which instructs participants to describe the experience of a visual illusion and (ii) the guidance training which offers individualized feedbacks for improving their description. This program proved effective, but also excessively skill-demanding. Experiment 2 tested the …
Capitalized Money, Austerity And The Math Of Capitalism, Timothy Dimuzio, Richard Robbins
Capitalized Money, Austerity And The Math Of Capitalism, Timothy Dimuzio, Richard Robbins
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Author(s) 2020. This article seeks to contribute to the existing critical debates on money and debt by advancing three main arguments. First, largely due to such debates' tendency for description, the article argues that in in the heterodox literature on money and debt there is no convincing critical theory of money creation. For this reason the authors introduce the theory of capital as power and how it can help us theorize the consequences of present money creation. Second, the authors demonstrate how the capitalization of money creation by a minority of investors not only leads to the political chase …
Does Social Media Make Us More Or Less Lonely? Depends On How You Use It, Roger Patulny
Does Social Media Make Us More Or Less Lonely? Depends On How You Use It, Roger Patulny
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Humans are more connected to each other than ever, thanks to smartphones, the web and social media. At the same time, loneliness is a huge and growing social problem. Why is this so? Research shows social media use alone can't cure loneliness - but it can be a tool to build and strengthen our genuine connections with others, which are important for a happy life. To understand why this is the case, we need to understand more about loneliness, its harmful impact, and what this has to do with social media.
Claims, Confusion, And Status: Which City Is New Zealand's Oldest?, Andre Brett
Claims, Confusion, And Status: Which City Is New Zealand's Oldest?, Andre Brett
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2019 New Zealand Geographical Society There is little clarity as to which city is New Zealand's "oldest" or "first." Scholars, journalists, and websites make competing claims. This article examines various categories by which cities can claim to be oldest, and reveals that Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington have valid claims but Dunedin and Nelson do not. Most claims are bound up in the inconsistent development of New Zealand's municipal authorities and representative institutions. I conclude that although the status of "oldest city" has no legal significance, this detail provides an accessible entry point to important historical narratives and to understanding urban …

Theatre can be many things. It can provide a catalyst to action, help us make sense of the world, make us feel part of a broader human experience. Sometimes, what happens on stage is the catalyst. Other times it happens because of the gathering theatre creates.

2020 Elsevier Ltd The important role of fish in food and nutrition security is becoming more widely acknowledged by the fishery sector and within food policy. Integration of fish and food policy, at national, regional or global levels, is required to ensure the contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to human health is supported through governance arrangements. We explore this aspect of food policy integration in Timor-Leste, where malnutrition is a critical health problem. Consumption of fish is low by international standards and only a small proportion of the population engages in fishing. We used a mixed method approach involving desktop …

2020 The Authors. Maternal & Child Nutrition published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Solomon Islands, like many Pacific Island nations, suffer from the burden of malnutrition. External drivers including population growth, declining agriculture and fisheries productivity and global food trade have contributed to the transition to greater reliance on imported foods. Globally, diets are recognized as both a cause of and solution to the burden of malnutrition. Using a mixed-method approach this study assessed nutritional status and key determinants of malnutrition among women and young children in rural Solomon Island communities. Quantitative 24-hour recall surveys identified diets of women …
Distal Engagement: Intentions In Perception, Nick Brancazio, Miguel Segundo Ortin
Distal Engagement: Intentions In Perception, Nick Brancazio, Miguel Segundo Ortin
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
2020 Elsevier Inc. Non-representational approaches to cognition have struggled to provide accounts of long-term planning that forgo the use of representations. An explanation comes easier for cognitivist accounts, which hold that we concoct and use contentful mental representations as guides to coordinate a series of actions towards an end state. One non-representational approach, ecological-enactivism, has recently seen several proposals that account for "high-level" or "representation-hungry" capacities, including long-term planning and action coordination. In this paper, we demonstrate the explanatory gap in these accounts that stems from avoiding the incorporation of long-term intentions, as they play an important role both in …

A heavily disguised Phryne (Essie Davis) is racing through the streets of Palestine, pursued by armed men. Excitement mounts. Having athletically eluded all attempts to capture her, Phryne sheds her indigo robes to emerge in a sparkling gold dress framed against the skyline like the superhero she has indubitably become.

Getting Creative With Less. Recipe Lessons From The Australian Women's Weekly During Wartime, Lauren Samuelsson
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Over the past few weeks, Australians have become used to seeing empty shelves in their local supermarkets. Coronavirus-induced panic buying has quickly depleted stocks of products like pasta, rice and flour. Major supermarket chains Coles and Woolworths have introduced restrictions on the purchase of these staple ingredients. Coles has also introduced "rationing" of minced meats. While this is not a genuine food crisis, these limitations will lead Australians to ponder the culinary possibilities of their pantries. Looking at Australia's most widely read women's magazine, the Australian Women's Weekly, shows us how Australians have dealt with food shortages in the past: …

Isolation is a common theme in cinema: stranded on an island (Cast Away), in space (Gravity or The Martian), on a boat (Life of Pi), stuck in the desert (127 hours), or simply confined to an apartment (Rear Window). But what about when the filmmakers themselves are stranded?
Institutions And Other Things: Critical Hermeneutics, Postphenomenology And Material Engagement Theory, Tailer Ransom, Shaun Gallagher
Institutions And Other Things: Critical Hermeneutics, Postphenomenology And Material Engagement Theory, Tailer Ransom, Shaun Gallagher
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
© 2020, The Author(s). Don Ihde and Lambros Malafouris (Philosophy and Technology 32:195–214, 2019) have argued that “we are homo faber not just because we make things but also because we are made by them.” The emphasis falls on the idea that the things that we create, use, rely on—that is, those things with which we engage—have a recursive effect on human existence. We make things, but we also make arrangements, many of which are long-standing, material, social, normative, economic, institutional, and/or political, and many of which are supported by various technologies, including AI, more and more. Critical theorists, such …
Should I Use My 'Weak' Social Capital Or 'Strong' Guanxi? Reviewing And Critiquing Two Theories In The Context Of Western-Chinese Migration, Zhuqin Feng, Roger Patulny
Should I Use My 'Weak' Social Capital Or 'Strong' Guanxi? Reviewing And Critiquing Two Theories In The Context Of Western-Chinese Migration, Zhuqin Feng, Roger Patulny
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Author(s) 2020. Social network dynamics are complex in the context of Chinese overseas migration because of the unique dynamics of guanxi, which are distinctly different from 'Western' social capital. The few migration studies comparing guanxi and social capital suggest that the former largely consists 'strong ties', while the latter is comprised of 'weak ties'. However, most apply only a cursory comparison of one network facet. We review core literature in the two fields to contrast what each says about network norms, structures and practices. We find that: (i) guanxi is characterised by dynamics of 'face' and renqing; (ii) guanxi …
"They Should Have Never Given Us Uniforms If They Didn't Want Us To Be An Army": The Handmaid's Tale As Transmedia Feminism, Amy Boyle
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Even prior to its premier in April 2017, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale inspired a series of cosplay protests against antiabortion legislation at the Texas State Capitol. The red robes and white bonnets have since been popularized by the critically acclaimed series, and handmaid-style cosplay protests have continued transnationally, with the handmaid heralded as what the BBC calls "an international protest symbol" against heteropatriarchal oppression. Due to a surge of visible feminisms in popular media, it has become good business to create such female-centric, avowedly feminist texts. As the television industry has evolved from a broadcast network to a subscription market, …

Anchoring Know-How: Action, Affordance, And Anticipation, Shaun Gallagher, Benjamin Aguda
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
© 2020, Imprint Academic. All rights reserved. Action is always situated, always tied to specific contexts, and this is the case with respect to both the non-conscious — and largely subpersonal — processes or mechanisms that make action possible, and the person-level — and sometimes conscious — aspects of action that make action more than mere behaviour. According to one theory about the kind of know-how that we require to do what we do, the ‘automatic mechanisms’ that support action are ‘perfectly general’ (Stanley, 2011, p. 84), in contrast to the detailed propositional knowledge that informs action. We will argue, …
Australian Wool And Chinese Industrialization, 1901-41, Peter Gibson, Simon Ville
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
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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 …

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.
