Abstract:
Contemporary diaries and the water-colours of artists such as the Port Jackson Painter vividly tell of Aboriginal life when the First Fleet in 1788 settled its cargo of convicts in Australia. Fishing was important around the waters of Port Jackson, whose Aboriginal inhabitants are recorded to have used the techniques of spear-fishing and angling. Were other methods also used? Fish remains from a shell midden provide an opportunity to investigate.

Abstract:
This paper examines a series of shell midden and stone artefact sites located at the mouth of the Maroochy River, southeast Queensland. It represents the first detailed archaeological research undertaken on the Sunshine Coast since Jackson (1939) investigated a series of middens near Point Cartwright in the 1930's. The present study details the results of survey and excavation work, with a number of tentative hypotheses concerning late Holocene shellfishing behaviour, bevel-edged tool use, and "regionalization" of societal groupings.

Abstract:
Although the sea arrived in southeast Queensland around 8000 years ago, most estuarine middens date to the past 1000 years. An example is midden deposits dating to the past 400 years forming the upper levels of Sites 62 and 75b from Tin Can Inlet located immediately south of the Fraser Island (K’gari) World Heritage Area. Both sites were excavated and analysed in the 1980s. This paper revisits these results following a detailed re-analysis of midden materials and new insights on regional sea level changes. Taking an historical ecology approach, species-specific habitat requirements and associated substrate sediment dynamics help explain similarities and differences between the two midden shell assemblages. Environmental factors and the location of both sites on landforms that formed following sea level fall over the past 2000 years help explain why the basal levels of both sites are probably <1000–1500 years old. Documenting pre-2000-year-old Aboriginal use of Tin Can Inlet will need to target more elevated inland dune deposits (>5m ASL) fronting the mid-Holocene sea level highstand palaeoshoreline.

Abstract:
The nature of prehistoric settlement and subsistence practices in coastal New England has been intensively discussed by archaeologists over the last twenty years. Archaeologists have attempted to determine when and how maize horticulture was adopted in the coastal zone and how maritime resources fit into the aboriginal diet throughout the Woodland period. Analyses of an Early to Middle Woodland period shell midden on Block Island, Rhode Island, is consistent with a number of other regional studies that suggest that the use of maritime resources was relatively early and intensive. On Block Island, intensive use of a wide variety of flora and fauna was taking place on a year-round basis as early as 3000 years ago, some 1000 years earlier than on the adjacent mainland coast.

Abstract:
In 1968, the Queensland Government proposed the granting of an Oysterman's Reserve at Toulkerrie on the south west coast of Moreton Island, under the trusteeship of the Fisheries Division, Department of Primary Industries. The lease consists of some 11 Lots within a wedge-shaped tract from 400m long (N-S) by between 100m (in north) and 50m wide (south). As a consequence of this proposal the National Parks and Wildlife Service decided to alter the route of a stretch of road running through the lease area and called for a prior archaeological inspection of the new route. This work revealed numerous middens within the proposed lease proper (Hall 1988a) and subsequent discussions between D.P.I. and the (then) Archaeology Branch, Department of Community Services, led to a cultural resource management study (Hall 1988b). On the basis of an assessment of the surface manifestation of cultural material this area was deemed a significant Aboriginal midden-camp complex. Accordingly, a management plan was proposed which included limited archaeological excavation.

Abstract:
The Marpole Midden, located near the Musqueam Indian Reserve on the Fraser River's north arm, has been the subject of anthropological research, institutional excavation, national commemoration, and controversy. From the late 1880s to the 1960s, major international museums, local historical societies, and university archaeologists mined the site for human skeletal remains and cultural objects for their collections and research into the origins of the early inhabitants of the area. However, this place is known to the Musqueam First Nation as an ancient village and burial ground called cesna:m. The historical construction of the midden as an archaeological site and not an Aboriginal village distanced, in the minds of non-Natives, the Musqueam from association with the place. Importantly, this distancing contributed to the non-recognition of Aboriginal rights of ownership to ancestral places, and unoccupied or seasonally occupied villages that were not recognized by the reserve creation process. Thus, this study explores how western ideology and narrative worked to redefine Aboriginal land as sites of archaeology and science, and interrogates several enduring western dichotomies: prehistoric/living, unoccupied/occupied, archaeological/ ethnographic, and cultural/ historical. This research traces shifting indigenous, archaeological, and popular theories about the identities of the people who lived at such "prehistoric" sites, paying attention to how identity is conceptualized and how power is drawn from this process. In other words, it does not determine who these people were, but asks, who claims the authority to assign meaning to the skeletal remains and cultural objects taken from these places and what are the historical and political circumstances in which such assertions are made? This study explores the relationship between the local colonial culture, which served to disassociate Aboriginal people from ancestral sites, and an anti-colonial or reclamation culture, which reasserted these connections, especially as Aboriginal interpretations of the past gained increasing legitimacy in the second half of the twentieth century. It traces the linkages, both conceptual and material, between anthropology, popular representations of indigenous peoples and their connections to place, the political regime in British Columbia, and First Nations' ongoing struggles to gain recognition of Aboriginal title.

In this thesis, I have focused on the translation of aboriginal policy and Aborigine Hand Police Officers during early, middle Japanese colonial period in Taiwan, and this thesis is to analyze the changing role of aborigine hand police officers and aboriginal language learning. In 1897, Governor-General of Taiwan initiated collect aboriginal language in order to communicate with aborigine. However, there was not issued as a book. The staff in aboriginal administration directly from the aborigine to learn aboriginal language. Governor-General of Taiwan also used high pressure terrorism to maintain tight control under the police. At the same time, same staffs in aboriginal administration were familiar with aboriginal language and their social conditions; they called Aborigine Hand Police Officer.They through field investigations and field surveys, controlled mountain aborigines. In 1909, in order to control after suppress the mountainous aborigines, the head police officer Ōtsu Rinpei announced it is necessary to improve aboriginal language skill of police officer. Then, in 1911, the Five-year Expedition Plan was put into action. Governor-General of Taiwan mobilized tremendous military and police forces to suppress the mountain aborigines. At the same time, published aboriginal language materials and set up aboriginal institutes. Aborigine Hand Police Officers cooperated as teachers, interpreters. And they were assigned the task of probing the enemy''s movements during the military and police forces campaign. Some Aborigine Hand Police Officers established of mutual trust with aborigines, but there is a bias in the maintenance of self-interest Aborigine Hand Police Officers.

The purpose of this study is to do teaching multiplication with picture books, and to understand the learning process of two cases, then to investigate the dilemma of teaching and its solutions. To achieve the above purpose, the researcher designed the multiplication teaching activities for urban aboriginal middle grade pupils. The researcher adopts case study research. The subjects of the study were two pupils who participated in the after-school program at an elementary school in Kaohsiung city. For both pupils, mathematics scores are the lowest among all other subject areas, and mathematics scores ranked at lower class 10%. The teaching content involved Amis tribe picture books, integer multiplication, and multiplicative situations (Greer, 1992). There were three teaching procedures: preparation for teaching, picture books teaching activities, and multiplication teaching activities. The research data collected were from interviews,observations, teaching reflective journals, learning sheets, and learning diaries. The researcher induced pupils’ learning experience and error types before teaching multiplication with picture books and also revealed pupils’ attitude towards teaching multiplication with picture books and the learning multiplication of concept and its improvement. The conclusion is, through teaching multiplication with picture books, both pupils were familiar with the multiplication algorithm meaningfully, could used direct representation to solve multiplication problem, and used multiplication concepts to reason. Furthermore, the teaching activities promote subjects’ mathematical learning attitude, ethnic identity, parent-child interactions, and peer tutoring. The results showed that the multiplication teaching with picture books had a positive influence on the subjects’ attitude and multiplication concept. Based on research results and findings, the researcher made suggestions for teaching and future research.

The paper aims at implementing a comparative study of three migratory aboriginal villages —Bai-shuei-ci(白水溪Peh-tsui-khe台語) andYan-Cian (岩前Gian-cheng台語) of Droko villages, and Liu-Chong-Ci (六重溪)of Tevorangh tribe--- along the upper and middle Jishui River during the period of 1875 ~ 1945, i.e., from the late Qing Dynasty to the Japanese occupation. It explores the social change of these Pingpu villages from the perspective of demographic structure and industrial economy. By analyzing their activities of religious belief and marriage network we would understand and outline the regional characteristic of Pingpu settlements. The data search and survey mainly based on the census records and household survey collected by Household Registration Office of Pei-ho during Japanese colonial rule, Adults and Children Name Books retained by Yan-Cian Church and some related official documents, newspapers and magazines of Japanese colonial government. However, there is no transcripts remains on Pingpu Group. The data are also constructed by real field work to facilitate to reflect some regional cultural appearances of Pingpu Group during the period of 1875 ~ 1945. By this study, there gradually showed some differences in religious belief among three migratory aboriginal villages since they were migrated and settled down in the end of nineteen century. Bai-Shuei-Ci village and Yan-Cian village transformed their belief from traditional ancestral spirits worshiping and folk customs beliefs into the western church, Liu-Chong-Ci village still kept their traditional worshiping and Chinese temple gods beliefs. In industrial economy aspect, they converted their traditional half hunting and half farming living style into full farming economic pattern diversely, rice farming at Bai-Shuei-Ci, sugarcane planting at Yan-Cian , fruit / vegetable cropping and forestry operations at Liu-Chong-Ci. Therefore, the Japanese colonial government invested on different kinds of transportation network construction for each of them depending on their respectively unique farming pattern. Liu-Chong-Ci became more prosperous due to light rail and auto road were built to connected with administrative center —Bai-He. There were only official roads were constructed at Yan-Cian , and in its periphery with auto roads and sugarcane-conveyed rail bound to Guan-zai-Ling and Bai-He which made Yan-Cian settlement was a crucial path to Zho mountainous tribe. Bai-Shuei-Ci , most of original roads were retained, there didn’t get much construction investment from colonial government, was reduced to a small under-developed settlement after The War. The paper finally tries to explain their marriage network transactions. The three Pingpu villages suffered population exodus results from their marriage with Han tribe. In particular, Bai-Shuei-Ci evolved into a Pingpu-Han hybrid settlement through marriage with inner village’s Han people. It reveals that all the residents of Bai-Shuei-Ci were related by marriage. Pingpu tribe was more dominant at Yan-Cian . Liu- Chong-Ci is segregated geographically, the Pingpu people were largely settled at Liu- Chong-Ci, San-Chong-Ci(三重溪), Kan-Sia(崁下), Bin- Lang- Jiao(檳榔腳), the other areas belonged to Han tribe.

The objective of this study was to examine the different self perceived health status and health-promoting lifestyles among middle age aboriginal women, and discuss the relationships of exercise phase distribution, default variables, and self perceived health status with health promoting lifestyles utilizing exercise phase, self-perceived health status, and health-promoting lifestyle tables. A total of 105 middle age aboriginal women at age of between 30 and 54 living in the towns of Daren and Jinfong in the Daiwu area of Taitung County were randomly sampled through a questionnaire survey. The results were analyzed in use of various methods such as goodness-of-fit test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, LSD method, and multivariate regression analysis. All significance level  values is set for .05. The results are as follows: 1.The number of contemplation in the exercise phase table is greatest followed by precontemplation, preparation, maintenance, and then action. 2.The survey results on potential sickness indicate that: the aboriginal women between age group 30 through 39 and 40 through 49 had more potential to get sick than the ones at age 50 through 54; the aboriginal women with middle school degree had more potential to get sick than the ones with elementary and senior high school or higher degrees. Results on current health status show that the women with high school degrees felt healthier than the ones with elementary school degrees. Results on comparisons with any acquaintances indicate that women with one child or no children and three children felt healthier than the ones with two children. 3.In the six factors accounted for affecting the health-promoting lifestyle, the nutrition had most significant effect on the health promoting lifestyle, followed by association support, self accomplishment, stress management, health responsibility, and exercise. Aboriginal woman with high school degrees or higher did better in self accomplishment and nutrition than the ones with elementary school degrees. For the women with annual income of equal to and less than 20,000, they did not perform better than the ones with 21,000 through 40,000 and 41,000 through 60,000 incomes. 4.In the self-perceived health status, current health status, health deterioration, and wellness had a correlation with nutrition amount; potential to get sick had correlation with self accomplishment, nutrition, association support, and stress management. 5.The four predictors of health-promoting lifestyle: precontemplation and maintenance, preparation and maintenance in the exercise phase distribution, annual household income equal to and less than 20,000 and greater than 60,000, potential to get sick in the self perceived status, indicate 35.4% variance of health-promoting lifestyle.

The main purpose of this research focused on the relationship between the vocational high school aboriginal students’ science learning motivation and vocational interest in different background variables. This research adopted questionnaire survey. There are 160 students as the valid samples, who were chosen from the first, second and third grade in aboriginal view-pointed vocational high school on 2011 in middle area of Taiwan. The statistic analysis processed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression. The results of the study were divided into three parts The first part was the results of ”The differences of science learning motivation, vocational interest and six occupational types influenced by different background variables”. There were no significant differences of gender, grade, major on science learning motivation, but there were significant differences on science learning motivation of Father's education level and occupational level. Boys got higher scores than girls on the self-efficacy of science learning motivation. Civil Program students got higher scores than Home Economics and Tourism Program students. The third grade students got higher scores than the second grade student on the scientific learning value of science learning motivation. There were no significant differences of gender, grade, parent’s education and occupational on vocational interest, but in the major of Tourism Program students got higher scores than Home Economics students. There were no significant differences of grade and parent’s occupation on six occupational types. There were significant differences of gender on "Realistic" and "Investigative" occupational types, and boys got higher scores than girls. There were significant differences of major on "Artistic" occupational type, and Tourism Program students got higher scores than other major students. The aboriginal student whose mother got a college graduated degree, got higher scores in "Investigative" and "Enterprising" occupational types. The second part was the results of “The correlation of science learning motivation and vocational interest of aboriginal vocational high school students”. The science learning motivation and vocational interest of aboriginal students in vocational high school were correlated. Some dimensions of science learning motivation correlated to vocational interest and six occupational types of aboriginal students in vocational high school. The third part was the results of “The predictions of different background variables on "science learning motivation", "vocational interest" and "six occupational types" of aboriginal students in vocational high school”. The science learning motivation of overall vocational aboriginal students can be not predicted by the different background variables of students. Except achievement goal of science learning motivation, the other dimensions can be effectively predicted by part of the background variables. "The major program" and "Mother's education level" can effectively predict vocational aboriginal students' vocational interests. Except the "social" dimension of six occupational types of vocational aboriginal students, the others can be effectively predicted by the different background variables. Finally, based on the findings, the researchers concluded and suggested for the Aboriginal relevant administrative units, school authorities, aboriginal parents and future research.

Stone, Tim. "Origins of the Weipa Shell Mounds." Master's thesis, 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/116885.

Full text
Abstract:
The shell mounds at Weipa on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula are thought by archaeologists to be among the world's largest prehistoric middens. The mounds appear to be composed almost entirely of whole and fragmented shell valves of the cockle Anadara granosa and artefacts have been recovered from them. Stone (1989), however, proposed that the tall, steep-sided shell mounds were not built by shellfishing Aborigines but by generations of mound-building Scrubfowl Megapodius r einwar dt. This thesis aims to determine the tenability of the Scrubfowl hypothesis by first testing the hypothesis of human origin. It then aims to establish a geographical and chronological context in which to interpret the origins of the shell mounds. From the literature it is evident that physical and biological processes of mound formation are far more certain and universal than cultural processes. Cheniers and barriers are common features of the world's coastlines and may form mounds through quirks of sediment supply or erosion. Mound-building organisms include megapodes, termites and ants, alligators and crocodiles, and fossorial rodents. Human occupation mounds are distinguishable by architectural features and related cultural remains. Mounds of doubtful human origin include the shell mounds of the Americas, Europe and southeast Asia. These mounds have morphostratigraphic features which strongly suggest that they are natural shoreline deposits, not massive shell middens. In the Andaman Islands, New Caledonia and southeastern Australia there are also mounds considered cultural in origin which may have been built by megapodes. The hypothesis that the Weipa shell mounds are the result of repeated Aboriginal shellfishing and occupation has been tested by dating a sequence of ten shells from the Kwamter mound. The results show that most of the shells in the sequence are roughly the same radiocarbon age. This casts serious doubt on the hypothesis of human origin. An examination of the interior surfaces of a selection of shell valves was also undertaken to determine if the shells contain any evidence for shellfish death offshore. Although microborings likely to have been produced by endolithic cyanobacteria were recorded, it is possible that these are post-depositional in origin as seven genera of cyanobacteria have been cultured from the shells. Mapping and auguring of coastal deposits at two locations along the Mission River has revealed the natural origins of some of the Weipa shell mounds. Essentially, the growth of the mounds reflects the development of the local chenier plains. Shell mounds have formed where the sea has concentrated coarse Anadara granosa shell whereas mounds composed of sand and gravel are present where these sediments predominate. At Prumanung whole Anadara valves have been transported by wave-action to the crest of the modem beach forming a coarse shell berm. At Uningan the prominent shell mounds originated as small, isolated shell cheniers. The hypothesis that Scrubfowl have transformed these natural shell deposits into tall, steep-sided mounds is tenable. Habitats favourable to Scrubfowl are associated with each location. Stanner's (1961) belief in the natural origins of the Weipa shell mounds is supported by this thesis. Only the mound-building Scrubfowl is needed to explain their unusual shapes and vertical exaggeration. The strong likelihood that these mounds are natural shell deposits raises serious questions about basic principles of shell midden archaeology. It is concluded that new methods for distinguishing between natural and cultural shell deposits are needed.

This research is to investigate and discuss the relation between religion, memory complaint and depression among middle-aged and elderly aboriginals. The research was conducted with questionnaire survey. Religion belief was divided into four domains, which are Religious Behaviour, Religious Feelings, Religious Attitude and Religious Faith. The degree of depression was graded with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15. Memory complaint was discussed under two topics: whether the locations of items are often forgotten and whether the names of family members and close friends are often forgotten. The research targets are middle-aged and elderly aboriginals aged 45 and above, located in Ping-Dong County. A total of 161 effective survey samples were returned. All gathered information was analysed with methods including Descriptive Statistics, Independent T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Product-moment Correlation Coefficient and Logistic. The research concludes: 1.There was significant difference the elderly with different age in depression score. 2.A significant relation between Religious Belief and depression is observed. The risk of suffering from depression decreases by 22.7% as Religious Belief increases 1 unit. 3.There is also a significant relation between Memory Complaint and depression. The risk of suffering from depression is 1.94 times (194%) more as Memory Complaint (Memory Decay) increase 1 unit.

The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence and the related factors of depression and problematic drinking among middle-aged male urban aborigines. The instruments of this study included the CESD (Center for Epidemiological Studies – Depression Scales) and C-CAGE (Chinese version-CAGE) questionnaire. Purposive sampling was used for data collection. Two hundred and twenty-six participants were recruited for this study (the responding rate was 70%). The prevalence of depression assessed by CESD was 33.2%. By chi-square analysis, the significant related factors of depression were single, poor income, family dysfunction, did not attempt to seek the help and less educational years of himself or his wife. Significant related factors of depression, which were analyzed by multiple logistic regression, revealed that did not attempt to seek help and family dysfunction. The prevalence of alcohol used within the previous 12 months was 71.7%. Past month prevalence of alcohol used was 65.5%. The prevalence of problematic drinking assessed by C-CAGE was 48.2%. The most common reason for alcohol used was for social activities. The beer is an aborigines’ favor. By chi-square analysis, the significant related factors of problematic drinking were single, smoking, betel chewing, attend the aboriginal activities and highest rate of frequently drinking. Significant related factors of problematic drinking, which were analyzed by multiple logistic regression, revealed that smoking, betel chewing and attending aboriginal activities. In addition, an association was found between depression and problematic drinking. 19.9% (45/226) of participants who were the co-occurrence of depression and problematic drinking. Hopefully, these results will provide the references of a primary care program to promote mental health of middle-aged male urban aborigines.

Abstract:
Detailed research into marsupial behavioural ecology and modelling of past Aboriginal exploitation of terrestrial fauna has been scarce. Poor bone preservation is one limiting factor in Australian archaeological sites, but so has been the lack of research concerning the ecology and physiology of Australia’s endemic fauna. Much research has focused on marine and fresh-water shell-fish found in coastal and inland midden sites. Detailed studies into areas such as seasonality of past human occupation and nutritional returns from terrestrial prey species have not had the same attention. This chapter reviews the current level of published Australian research into two aspects of faunal studies, seasonality and nutrition. It describes the patterns from well-researched faunal data excavated from the Ice Age sites in southwest Tasmania. Concentration is on the vertebrate fauna found in seven limestone cave sites to examine any temporal changes to seasonal butchery and identify any differences between seasonally occupied sites.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the 2006 film Ten Canoes, an acclaimed Aboriginal Australian cross-cultural text in which a ‘Middle Age’ is both invoked and portrayed in an entirely defamiliarizing way. It explores the surprising potential, in the hands of indigenous agents, for invocations of a ‘Middle Age’ that displaces the Western timeline on which the idea of the medieval depends. The chapter raises the question of whether including pre-colonial-contact Aboriginal culture within the scope of world medievalism is an inescapably colonizing gesture that can only reinforce Eurocentric epistemologies, or whether this problem can be offset by bringing perceptions of the global medieval into dialogue with Aboriginal perceptions of time and history. It argues that the complexities of medievalism as a ‘world’ phenomenon are thrown into sharp relief by Ten Canoes as a text that narrates pre-contact time in a way that simultaneously addresses itself to Western and Yolŋu audiences.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the ethno-political aspects of the Finnish military administration policy in occupied Karelia in 1941–1944, which was reflected in newspapers. The materials of the periodicals were aimed at forming an idea of the historical and cultural unity of the East Karelia’ and Finland’ population. The result of this activity should have been education of “true” citizens of The Great Finland from “kindred peoples” (i.e. aboriginal persons).

Abstract:
This chapter considers Australia's historical narrative, beginning with an assessment of the Aboriginal contribution to the economy constructed by the first European settlers. In Europe, modern economic growth from the late eighteenth century onward occurred in the context of societies and economies that, though undergoing rapid changes in some regions and industries, also exhibited much continuity with centuries past. Furthermore, institutions and production techniques of ancient lineage persisted into the period of modernization, though undergoing varying degrees of adaptation. Similarly, when modern economic growth began in Japan in the middle of the nineteenth century, there was much to build on in terms of physical capital, human capital, social organization, and political institutions in order to facilitate the transition to industrialization and sustained higher levels of prosperity.

Abstract:
Turtles and their eggs have long served as an important source of food for humans—almost certainly since very early in the evolution of the hominid lineage, and surely for at least the last 20,000 years (Nicholls, 1977). Evidence in the form of shells and skeletal material (some showing burn marks as evidence of cooking) in the middens of Paleolithic aboriginal cultures, and from eyewitness accounts of explorer-naturalists in more recent times is available from numerous locations around the world (e.g., Bates, 1863; St. Cricq, 1874; Goode, 1967; Rhodin, 1992, 1995; Pritchard, 1994; Lee, 1996; Stiner et al., 1999). Skeletal evidence of river turtles, in particular from such locations as Mohenjodaro and Harappa in the Indus Valley (e.g., Indian narrow-headed softshells and river terrapins), Mayapan, and many other Mesoamerican Mayan sites (e.g., Central American river turtles), and Naga ed-Der of Upper Ancient Egypt (e.g., Nile softshell) suggest that river turtles have helped to support the rise of the world's great civilizations as well (de Treville, 1975; Nath, 1959 in Groombridge & Wright, 1982; Das, 1991; Lee, 1996). Their role continues and, in fact, has expanded as human populations have burgeoned and spread throughout the modern world. River turtles have always been too convenient and succulent a source of protein to ignore. Often large, fecund, and easily collected with simple techniques and equipment, especially in communal nesters which may concentrate at nesting sites in helpless thousands (at least formerly), river turtles are ideal prey. Much of the harvesting has been, and continues to be, conducted in relative obscurity in many parts of the world. Occasionally, however, the sheer magnitude of the resource and its slaughter has attracted the attention of literate observers, such as the early explorer-naturalists of the New and Old World tropics. Their accounts have given us some idea of the former truly spectacular abundance of some riverine species, and the equally spectacular levels of consistent exploitation which have brought them to their modern, much-diminished condition. Summaries of the exploitation of the two best documented examples of destruction of formerly abundant riverine species, the Asian river terrapin, and the giant South American river turtle, are provided under their appropriate geographic sections below.

"decency, compassion. Neighbours resembles the down-home, wholesome populism of a Frank Capra comedy except that its suburban protagonists are saved the trouble of traveling to and from a big city to discover their true values. 8 Differences are resolved, dissolved, or repressed The characters are “almost compulsively articulate about problems and feelings” (Tyrer 1987). Crises are solved quickly, usually amicably. Conflict is thus managed almost psychotherapeutically by and within the inner circle of family, and the outer circle of Ramsay Street. Witness the episode broadcast on April 23, 1992 in Australia: after fire destroys much of Gaby’s clothes boutique, three female neighbors remake the lost stock, while three male neighbors clear up the debris from the shop. As the theme song has it: “Neighbours should be there for one another.” Incursions of conflict from the social world beyond these charmed circles are treated tokenistically or spirited away. The program blurs or represses differences of gender politics, sexual preference, age, and ethnicity. Domestic violence and homosexuality, male or female, are unknown. Age differences are subsumed within family love and tolerance. Aboriginal characters manage a two-episode plot line at most (Craven 1989: 18), and Greeks, despite the real Melbourne being the third largest Greek city in the world, figure rarely. Neighbours-watchers could likewise be forgiven for not knowing that Melbourne has the largest Jewish community in Australia. The program elides questions of disability, alcoholism, or religious difference. It displaces drug addiction on to a friend outside immediate family circles (Cousin 1992). Unemployment as a social issue is subordinated to the humanist characterization of Brad, for instance, as dopey, happy-go-lucky surfie. Neighbours counterposes suburban escapism to the high-gloss escapism of Santa Barbara. 9 Depoliticized middle-class citizenship These “cosy parish pump narratives,” as Ian Craven calls them, depoliticize the everyday (Craven 1989: 21). Such good middle-class suburban citizenship is roundly condemned by no less than Germaine Greer: The world of Neighbours is the world of the detergent commercial; everything from the kitchen worktops to the S-bend is squeaky clean. Everyone’s hair and underwear is freshly laundered. No one is shabby or eccentric; no one is poor or any colour but white. Neighbours is the Australian version of the American dream, owner-occupied, White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant paradise. (Greer 1989) In this blithely comfortable middle-class ethos, the characters seem never to have problems with mortgage repayments. Commenting on the opening episodes of Neighbours, a British critic underlines its property-owning values:." In To Be Continued..., 111. Routledge, 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203131855-13.
