The 2007 Federal Election In Australia: Framing Industrial Relations, Diana J. Kelly
The 2007 Federal Election In Australia: Framing Industrial Relations, Diana J. Kelly
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The 2007 Federal election campaigns in Australia were characterised by three factors. Most notably, industrial relations played a central role for many voters. Secondly, there was intense and innovative use of media representation and imagery. The substance of the differences between the parties was dominated by the framing of concepts and images which represented industrial relations in 30-second sound bytes and slogans. Thirdly, what offset the effect of that framing was the new media which offered new opportunities for shaping the public discourse and was utilised extensively. This paper seeks to understand how industrial relations was framed in some of …

Rural Cultural Research: Notes From A Small Country Town, Katherine Bowles
Rural Cultural Research: Notes From A Small Country Town, Katherine Bowles
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
What kind of denial does it take to look at a major industrial city in the midst of a crisis of self-reinvention involving millions of dollars of urban infrastructure, and see only a small country town going about its business as usual? And how does this relate to the strategic marketing of an urbanised coastal tourist destination that downplays the amenities of urban life in favour of the intangible qualities of small town experience? Whatever its literal dimensions in terms of population or location, the imagined small country town functions-in Australian media and other public discourse-in multiple ways. The country …

In his preface to the Guide to the Intercolonial Exhibition of 1866, the exhibition's commissioner John George Knight concludes by underlining the event's principal significance as a showcase for colonial commercial and industrial achievement: The great aim of an Exhibition is to give the fullest possible notoriety to new manufactures and processes, and bring the manufacturer and inventor more closely into contact with the merchant, speculator, and capitalist; and, by this most practical method of advertising, to enlarge the basis of trade.1 Given this avowedly mercantile and progressivist vision—a vision borne out by the numerous displays of colonial manufacture—it might …

Labour Commodification And Classification: An Illustrative Case Study Of The New South Wales Boilermaking Trades, 1860-1920, Richard Maddison

Labour commodification is a core process in building capitalist society. Nonetheless, it is given remarkably little attention in labour and social historiography, because assumptions about the process have obscured its historical character. Abandoning these assumptions, a close study of labour commodification in the boilermaking trades of late colonial New South Wales (Australia) illustrates the historical character of the process. In these trades, labour commodification was deeply contested at the most intimate level of class relations between workers and employers. This contest principally took the form of a struggle over the scheme of occupational classification used as the basis of pay …
