Emplacement And Displacement: Perceiving The Landscape Through Aboriginal Australian Acrylic Painting, Fred Myers
Emplacement And Displacement: Perceiving The Landscape Through Aboriginal Australian Acrylic Painting, Fred Myers
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Aboriginal Australian acrylic paintings have long been considered representations of mythologically invested landscape. This understanding has been made problematic by recent writings on ‘dwelling’. As common usage of the term ‘landscape’ seems to prioritize vision, to suggest that the acrylic paintings are landscapes only strengthens the suspicion that they are artifacts of displacement or distancing, rather than examples of the emplacement emphasized in this ‘dwelling perspective’. However, this paper will demonstrate that the relationship between acrylic painting and the land is more complex than such an interpretation. It will argue that the Aboriginal objectification of their relationship to the land …
Aboriginal Fractions: Enumerating Identity In Taiwan, Jennifer A. Liu
Aboriginal Fractions: Enumerating Identity In Taiwan, Jennifer A. Liu
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Notions of identity in Taiwan are configured in relation to numbers. I examine the polyvalent capacities of enumerative technologies in both the production of ethnic identities and claims to polit- ical representation and justice. By critically historicizing the manner in which Aborigines in Taiwan have been, and continue to be, constructed as objects and subjects of scientific knowledge production through technologies of measuring, I examine the genetic claim made by some Taiwanese to be ‘‘fractionally’’ Aboriginal. Numbers and techniques of measuring are used ostensibly to know the Aborigines, but they are also used to construct a genetically unique Taiwanese identity …
Conflict In The Statutory Elicitation Of Aboriginal Culture In Australia, James F. Weiner
Conflict In The Statutory Elicitation Of Aboriginal Culture In Australia, James F. Weiner
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In order for Aboriginal rights and interests to be recognised under the Native Title Act (1993), such rights and interests must arise from laws and customs that can be shown to have continuity with the particular set of laws and customs that existed at the time of sovereignty, or, at least, at the time of first European contact. This interpretation of continuity has been applied in Australian native title cases since the High Court’s Yorta Yorta decision (Yorta Yorta v the State of Victoria [2002] HCA 58). Yet today’s Aboriginal native title claim groups are also required to participate in …

Australian Aboriginal Ethnometeorology And Seasonal Calendars, Philip A. Clarke
Australian Aboriginal Ethnometeorology And Seasonal Calendars, Philip A. Clarke
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper uses a cultural anthropological approach to investigate an indigenous Australian perspective on atmospheric phenomena and seasons, using data gained from historical records and ethnographic fieldwork. Aboriginal people believe that the forces driving the weather are derived from Creation Ancestors and spirits, asserting that short term changes are produced through ritual. By recognizing signals such as wind direction, rainfall, temperature change, celestial movements, animal behaviour and the flowering of plants, Aboriginal people are able to divide the year into seasons. Indigenous calendars vary widely across Australia and reflect annual changes within Aboriginal lifestyles.

Copyrighting The Past? Emerging Intellectual Property Rights Issues In Archaeology1, George P. Nicholas, Kelly P. Bannister
Copyrighting The Past? Emerging Intellectual Property Rights Issues In Archaeology1, George P. Nicholas, Kelly P. Bannister
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Rights to intellectual property have become a major issue in eth- nobotany and many other realms of research involving Indige- nous communities. This paper examines intellectual-property- rights-related issues in archaeology, including the relevance of such rights within the discipline, the forms these rights take, and the impacts of applying intellectual property protection in archaeology. It identifies the “products” of archaeological re- search and what they represent in a contemporary sociocultural context, examines ownership issues, assesses the level of protec- tion of these products provided by existing legislation, and dis- cusses the potential of current intellectual property protection mechanisms to augment …

Music Education In Remote Aboriginal Communities, Graham Chadwick, George Rrurrambu
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
These papers deal with some of the complex cultural and pedagogical issues involved in the delivery of a secondary-school music education program to remote Aboriginal communities. The papers outline the history of the program, the challenges in its delivery and some of the prospects for its future.
Pastoralism, Local Knowledge And Australian Aboriginal Development In Northern Queensland, Benjamin R. Smith
Pastoralism, Local Knowledge And Australian Aboriginal Development In Northern Queensland, Benjamin R. Smith
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Over the past three years, Indigenous policy in Australia has taken an interventionist turn. The work of Noel Pearson (see Pearson 2000), a prominent Indigenous intellectual from Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland, has provided much of the impetus for this push. As a result, the chronic social problems of the Peninsula's Aboriginal communities have become a focus of state and federal government action, driven by the recommendations of the 2001 Cape York Justice Study (Fitzgerald 2001), commissioned by the Queensland government and developed in partnership with regional Aboriginal organisations. Pearson, along with other commentators, politicians and bureaucrats, has asserted …
Seven Aboriginal Marriage Systems And Their Correlates, Ian Keen
Seven Aboriginal Marriage Systems And Their Correlates, Ian Keen
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper outlines patterns of kin classi® cation and marriage in seven regions of Australia. It considers the implications of differences in those patterns for such features of economy and society as levels of polygyny, the structure and dynamics of country groups, the form of exchange networks and, very brie ̄ y, cosmologies and the roles of religious leaders. The analysis demonstrates certain associations between modes of kin classi® cation and organisational forms such as moieties. Finally, the paper draws conclusions about the environmental and institutional conditions for differences in `levels’ of polygynous marriage, as well as their political and …
