What Is Hegemonic Masculinity?, Mike Donaldson
What Is Hegemonic Masculinity?, Mike Donaldson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Hegemonic masculinity is a powerful idea that has been usefully employed for about twenty five years (by 2007) in a wide variety of contexts and has now been subject to much critical review. Its successful application to a wide range of different cultures suggests that there may well be no known human societies in which some form of masculinity has not emerged as dominant, more socially central, more associated with power, in which a pattern of practices embodying the "currently most honoured way" of being male legitimates the superordination of men over women. Hegemonic masculinity is normative in a social …
Lying, Liars And Language, David I. Simpson
Lying, Liars And Language, David I. Simpson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Lying is a form of behaviour which receives relatively little attention as a feature of linguistic interaction (other than as a moral aberration). We occasionally find suggestions that the ability to lie reflects significant capacities of linguistic and communicative subjects, but there has been little or no attempt to draw out or clarify this supposed significance. In this paper I hope to give the beginnings of such an explication. I shall begin by offering an analysis of the concept of lying, and then highlight sets of assumptions and capacities which must be present in a liar, and which must be …
Communicative Skills In The Constitution Of Illocutionary Acts, David I. Simpson
Communicative Skills In The Constitution Of Illocutionary Acts, David I. Simpson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Austin's distinction between locutionary and illocutionary acts has offered a fruitful way of focussing the relation between language and communication. In particular, by adopting the distinction we attend to linguistic and communicative subjects as actors, not just processors or conduits of information. Yet in many attempts to explicate the constitution of illocutionary acts the subject as actor is subsumed within the role of linguistic rules or conventions. In this paper I propose an account of illocutionary acts in which rules or conventions are secondary to what I will call communicative skills. These skills are taken as the primary component of …
Women In The Union Movement: Organisation, Representation And Segmentation, Mike Donaldson
Women In The Union Movement: Organisation, Representation And Segmentation, Mike Donaldson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
For many years, women have been under-represented in unions and in union leaderships. This article explains why this is the case by examining the gender segmented nature of paid work and occupations and by outlining how this affects women's participation within and representation by trade unions.
Labouring Men: Love, Sex And Strife , Mike Donaldson
Labouring Men: Love, Sex And Strife , Mike Donaldson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Studies of masculinity and studies of class are incomplete unless they take each other seriously. This article explores the interrelations between class situation and experience, paid work, the family-household, masculinity and male heterosexuality as they are borne and reproduced by labouring men. Against the psycho¬logisation of the 'men's liberationists' this article insists on the salience of structure. It suggests that the working class, of which labouring men are a small part, can be understood in its strategic power and weaknesses only through the study of the whole lives of its members, changing and changed by each other as they stand …
The Recession, Technological And Social Change In A Regional Economy: The Steel Industry In Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, Mike Donaldson
The Recession, Technological And Social Change In A Regional Economy: The Steel Industry In Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, Mike Donaldson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper tells the story of the downturn in the steel industry in the early 1980's and its effects on Wollongong, a 'steel city' in Australia. It analyses the responses of the organised working class through its trade unions, community organisations and political parties and their efforts to confront mounting levels of unemployment by developing strategic alliances with small businesses and the local state.

The Crisis In The Steel Industry, Mike Donaldson, T. Donaldson
The Crisis In The Steel Industry, Mike Donaldson, T. Donaldson
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) Australia's largest corporation, had a virtual monopoly on the steel industry in Australia. In the early 1980's it set about decimating its workforce, blaming an economic downturn, and demanding massive and unusual handouts from the Australian Government. This article exposes the myth of the 'crisis' in the steel industry, and reveals instead that the BHP, embarked upon a modernisation of its plant, held its workforce to ransom to extort concessions from the Government. It then destroyed nearly 4,000 jobs at its Port Kembla steelworks in Wollongong.

Nuclear Knights, Brian Martin
Nuclear Knights, Brian Martin
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Serious exploration for uranium in Australia began in response to the development of nuclear weapons during and after World War II. A number of mines were operated in the 1950s and 1960s, notably at Rum Jungle in the Northern Territory, under the control of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) which was established in 1953. Also aiding the British nuclear weapons programme were twelve nuclear weapons tests in Australia in the 1950s, at Monte Bello Islands off the northwest coast, and at Emu Field and Maralinga in South Australia. The AAEC constrl,Jcted two research reactors at Lucas Heights near Sydney, …
