Where To Neoliberalism? The World Bank And The Post-Washington Consensus In Indonesia And Vietnam, Susan N. Engel
Where To Neoliberalism? The World Bank And The Post-Washington Consensus In Indonesia And Vietnam, Susan N. Engel
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper attempts to summarise a number of the ideas from a current, Gramscian-inspired research project on the form and nature of World Bank’s2 shift away from the Washington Consensus, which the World Bank publicly and loudly claimed to have achieved by 1997. The Bank’s new approach was labelled by critical academics as the post-Washington Consensus (PWC) because their analyses of the policies and rhetoric indicate a continued commitment to the core ideas of the Washington Consensus. My research explores not just the Bank’s underlying development discourse but also the practical consequences of the new themes and ideas of the …

Between The Lines: An Analysis Of The Language Of Indonesian Reporting Of Military Clashes In Aceh, Philip Kitley

[extract] Kompas Cyber Media is the online presence of the leading Indonesian daily Kompas and it was on the small screen that I first read about the kidnapping on 29 June, 2003 of television journalist Ersa Siregar, camera operator Ferry Santoro, their driver Rahmatsyah and two female passengers, sisters Safrida and Soraya. The online version of this drawn out story of reporters hostage to the Free Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM) stripped down the news stories that appeared in the broadsheet. I was struck by the more than usually limited information value of the hostage headlines and stories from …

Sold And Stolen: Domestic 'Slaves' And The Rhetoric Of 'Protection' In Darwin And Singapore During The 1920s And 1930s, Claire Lowrie
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Introduction: This paper contemplates the similarities in the working lives of two very different girls.1 It focuses on part descent Aboriginal girls of Darwin working as domestic servants in European homes, and the mui tsai or girl slaves2 of Singapore working for Chinese families. These girls share the common experience of being removed from their families, trafficked a great distance from their homes and forced into domestic service. This paper will consider the common governmental responses to these girls in terms of “protection”. For the mui tsai protection involved potential rescue from forced domestic service. For part-Aboriginal girls, protection resulted …
Living In The Shadow Of The Hegemon: Philippine-Australian Relations And The Global War Against Terrorism, Peter Sales
Living In The Shadow Of The Hegemon: Philippine-Australian Relations And The Global War Against Terrorism, Peter Sales
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
[extract] Studies of Philippine-Australian affairs over the years – and there have been some - concentrate on particular aspects of the relationship or else examine the topic within a broader Asia-Pacific context. The former include the Mail-Order-Bride issue, incidents like the Vivian Solon case, and shared interest in transnational crime; the latter have been mainly preoccupied with ASEAN and other regional partnerships as well as the role of the great powers. For the Philippines, Australia has become a southern alternative to the United States as a place of hope and opportunity. The White Australia Policy and the neocolonial connection of …
The Power Of The Pen: Solomon Islands Women Uniting To Overcome Adversity Through Writing, Shayne Kearney
The Power Of The Pen: Solomon Islands Women Uniting To Overcome Adversity Through Writing, Shayne Kearney
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Indigenous writers of the Solomon Islands, as with the majority of indigenous Oceanic countries and states, exhibit common themes throughout their literary works relating to colonisation, decolonisation and independent rule, the retelling and recording of traditional myths and legends, and issues relating to transcultural confusion. In reading the works of indigenous Solomon Island women, similar themes are evident, however, there is also a striking digression from those themes. For the purposes of this study, the writing can be divided into two distinct periods - writers born in the pre- and post-independent eras. l In both of these categories, it is …

The term mateship is often used to describe the trust, friendship, and support shared by Australian men in times of war, a bond supposedly specific to groups of Australians. This paper challenges the nationlist and gendered interpretations given to these bonds through and examination of the relationship Australian soldiers formed with the residents of the French town of Villers-Bretonneux during World War 1.
Noisy, Smelly, Dirty Dogs: A Sensorial Autoethnography Of Living With Dogs, Fiona Borthwick
Noisy, Smelly, Dirty Dogs: A Sensorial Autoethnography Of Living With Dogs, Fiona Borthwick
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
There are many accounts of the current strong connection between dogs and some humans. These accounts imply or pre-suppose a strong social-sensual relation between dogs and their humans. In a highly visualised culture how is this social-sensual relation mediated? What role does olfaction play? Autoethnography and ‘mystory’ are methodologies that can be used to address these questions.
Playing With Indexical Chineseness: The Transnational Cultural Politics Of Wuxia In Digital Games, Dean Chan
Playing With Indexical Chineseness: The Transnational Cultural Politics Of Wuxia In Digital Games, Dean Chan
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Wuxia narratives delineate an imagined cultural China. Although officially banned in Mainland China for most of the twentieth century, contemporary Chinese reclamations of these pseudo-historical and fantastical tales of martial chivalry now circulate locally, regionally, and internationally. New treatments of wuxia—especially in film and literature— have drawn increasing international scholarly interest.1 Nevertheless, the proliferation of wuxia digital games has, to date, received scant academic attention. Over the past decade, the use of wuxia fictions has steadily gained momentum in East Asian games networks, particularly within Chinese language territories. This essay traces a cultural history of the evolution of wuxia digital …
Negotiating Intra-Asian Games Networks: On Cultural Proximity, East Asian Games Design And Chinese Farmers, Dean Chan
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The East Asian online games boom started in South Korea in the late 1990s. Following unqualified domestic success, South Korean games were subsequently exported to other regional markets throughout East and South East Asia. During this time, game development companies specialising in online games for the Asian market also emerged in China and Japan. This essay proposes that one of the key features in this networked gaming context is the relationship between the adaptation of regional East Asian aesthetic and narrative forms in game content, and the parallel growth in more regionally-focused marketing and distribution initiatives. East Asian online games …
