Texto completoResumen
As an imagined space of suburban normalcy, Weipa North, far north Queensland, is in a transition of governance, from a Comalco controlled space to a local government entity. 'Normalisation1 of the 'company town' is revealed as a mechanism of regulation, excluding the local Aboriginal community of Napranum which is constructed as Weipa North's 'other'.
This thesis focuses on the process of normalising' Weipa North through the experience of young Aboriginal people, and argues that normalisation' of Weipa North will not lead to Aboriginal reconciliation within the Weipa area. Marginalisation of young Aboriginal people's concerns and aspirations surrounding issues of 'normalisation', it is argued, undermines the potential for reconciliation where Comalco assumes connections to country
and culture are irrelevant to young Aboriginal people

Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines how Aboriginality, ‘Asianness’ and whiteness have been imagined from Federation in 1901 to the present. It recovers a rich but hitherto largely neglected history of twentieth century cross-cultural partnerships and alliances between Indigenous and Asian-Australians. Commercial and personal intercourse between these communities has existed in various forms on this continent since the pre-invasion era. These cross-cultural exchanges have often been based on close and long-term shared interests that have stemmed from a common sense of marginalisation from dominant Anglo-Australian society. At other times these cross-cultural relationships have ranged from indifference to hostility, reflecting the fact that migrants of Asian descent remain the beneficiaries of the dispossession of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This research is a story about the author’s Murri family. It is about rebirthing the author’s identity, history and culture, and concerns the history and consequences that colonisation has rendered on her family. The story divulges the secrets and problems from the past that continue to affect the author and her family today. Aboriginal history concerns each and every person in Australia. Non-indigenous people need to understand that Aborigines’ spirits belong to this land, that they are a part of it. They need to understand what colonisation has done to Aboriginal families. It is only through understanding and accepting the history of what has happened to thousands of Murri families that their identities and place within their environment can become reality in the minds of non-Aboriginal people. Because a written discourse is alien to the Aboriginal culture and to the author’s psyche, she has rebirthed her family’s stories in both visual and oral language, and combined this with the written. The author’s art is a healing vehicle through which she and her family reconnect with their culture. It is connected with the author’s identity, her heritage. She has created images/objects that reflect what she has discovered of herself and her family. Her creations are imbued with all that is natural, her palette is the land and its produce, thus reconnecting herself with her heritage, the land – mother earth.<br>Master of Science (Hons) Social Ecology

"Warriors and Wanderers: Making Race in the Tasman World, 1769-1840" is an exploration of the development of racial thought in Australia and New Zealand from the period of first contact between British and the respective indigenous peoples to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. It analyses four groups of primary documents: the journals and published manuscripts of James Cook's Pacific voyages; An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales by David Collins published in 1798; documents written by and about Samuel Marsden, colonial chaplain in New South Wales and the father of the first mission to New Zealand; and the Reports from the British House of Commons Select Committee into the Treatment of Aborigines in the British Empire from 1835 to 1837. This study employs a transnational methodology and explores the early imperial history of the two countries as a Tasman world of imperial activity. It argues that ideas of human difference and racial thought had important material effects for the indigenous peoples of the region, and were critical to the design of colonial projects and ongoing relationships with both Maori and Aboriginal people, influencing the countries; and their national historiographies, right up to the present day.
Part 1 examines the journals of James Cook's three Pacific voyages, and the ideas about Maori and Aboriginal people which were developed out them. The journals and published books of Cook's Pacific voyages depicted Maori as a warrior race living in hierarchical communities, people who were physically akin to Europeans and keen to interact with the voyagers, and who were understood to change their landscape as well as to defend their land, people who, I argue, were depicted as sovereign owners of their land. In Australia encounter was completely different, characterised by Aboriginal people's strategic use of withdrawal and observation, and British descriptions can be characterised as an ethnology of absence, with skin colour dominating documentation of Aboriginal people in the Endeavour voyage journals. Aboriginal withdrawal from encounter with the British signified to Banks that Aboriginal people had no defensive capability. Assumptions of low population numbers and that Aboriginal people did not change their landscape exacerbated this idea, and culminated in the concept that Aboriginal people were not sovereign owners of their country.
Part 2 examines debates informing the decision to colonise the east coast of Australia through the evidence of Joseph Banks and James Matra to the British Government Committee on Transportation. The idea that Aboriginal people would not resist settlement was a feature not only of this expert evidence but dominated representation of the Sydney Eora community in David Collins's An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales, such that Aboriginal attacks on the settlement were not said to be resistance. A report of the kidnapping of two Muriwhenua Maori men by Norfolk Island colonial authorities was also included in Collins Account, relaying to a British audience a Maori view of their own communities while also opening up further British knowledge of the resources New Zealand offered the empire.
The connection with Maori communities facilitated by British kidnapping and subsequent visits by Maori chiefs to New South Wales encouraged the New South Wales colonial chaplain Samuel Marsden to lobby for a New Zealand mission, which was established in 1814, as discussed in Part 3. Marsden was a tireless advocate for Maori civilisation and religious instruction, while he argued that Aboriginal people could not be converted to Christianity. Part 3 explores Marsden's colonial career in the Tasman world, arguing that his divergent actions in the two communities shaped racial thought about the two communities of the two countries. It explores the crucial role of the chaplain's connection to the Australian colony, especially through his significant holdings of land and his relationships with individual Aboriginal children who he raised in his home, to his depiction of Aboriginal people and his assessment of their capacity as human beings.
Evidence from missionary experience in New Zealand was central to the divergent depictions of Tasman world indigenous people in the Buxton Committee Reports produced in 1836 and 1837, which are analysed in Part 4. The Buxton Committee placed their conclusions about Maori and Aboriginal people within the context of British imperial activity around the globe. While the Buxton Committee stressed that all peoples were owners of their land, in the Tasman world evidence suggested that Aboriginal people did not use land in a way that would confer practical ownership rights. And while the Buxton Committee believed that Australia's race relations were a failure of British benevolent imperialism, they did not feel that colonial expansion could, or should be, halted. Evidence from New Zealand stressed that Maori independence was threatened by those seen to be "inappropriate" British imperial agents who came via Australia, reinforcing a discourse of separation between Australia and New Zealand that Marsden had first initiated. While the Buxton Committee had not advocated the negotiation of treaties, the idea that Maori sovereignty was too fragile to be sustained justified the British decision to negotiate a treaty with Maori just three years after the Select Committee delivered its final Report.

This exegesis frames my studio thesis, which explores whether visual art can be a site for reconciliation, a tool for healing, an educational experience and a political act. It details how my art work evolved as a series of cycles and stages, as a systematic engagement with people, involving them in a process of investigating 'their' own realities - both the stories of their inner worlds and the community story framework of their outer conditions. It reveals how for my ongoing work as an indigenous artist, I became the learner and the teacher, the subject and the object. Of central importance for my exploration was the concept and methodology of bothways. As a social process, bothways action-learning methodology was found to incorporate the needs, motivations and cultural values of the learner through negotiated learning. Discussion of bothways methodology and disciplinary context demonstrated the relationships, connections and disjunctions shared by both Aboriginal and Western domains and informed the processes and techniques to position visual art as an educational experience and a tool for healing. From this emerged a range of ARTsongs - installations which reveal possible new alternatives sites for reconciliation, spaces and frames of reference to 'open our minds, heart and spirit so we can know beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable, so that we can think and rethink, so that we can create new visions, transgressions - a movement against and beyond boundaries' (hooks, 1994 p.12). Central to studio production was bricolage as an artistic strategy and my commitment to praxis - to weaving together my art practice with hands-on political action and direct involvement with my communities. I refer to this as the trial and feedback process or SIDEtracks. These were documented acts of personal empowerment, which led to a more activist role in the political struggle of reconciliation. I conclude that, as aboriginal people, we can provide a leadership role, and in so doing, we can demonstrate to the wider community how to move beyond a state of apathy.

Texto completoResumen
Much academic work concerned with social and cultural processes in Australia takes as its field of inquiry how the lives of Aboriginal Australians have been changed and impacted on by colonisation. Rarely has scholarship attempted to uncover some of the ways Aboriginality and Aboriginal people have become integral in the shaping of the lives of non-Aboriginal Australians.
Ths thesis takes to heart the challenge of subjecting oneself and one's own social and cultural position to the rigours of sociological scrutiny and sets out to examine how crucial Aboriginality and Aboriginal people have been in shaping the lives, identities and economies of non-Aboriginal Australians.
Drawing on the work of Homi Bhabha the thesis argues that ambivalence, whch underlies much of colonial discourse, can have a tremendously disruptive and unsettling effect on the authority, identities and everyday social lives of non-Aboriginal people. The thesis explores something of the diversity of this ambivalence by focusing attention on five groups of people (One Nation Supporters, retired tourists, 'alternative lifestylers', governmental workers and early colonists); two historical moments(early colonial times and the late 1990s); and two regions (the south-west and Kimberley of Western Australia).
The thesis argues that one of the effects of ths ambivalence is that the social worlds of non- Aboriginal Australians are often subjected to challenge and change. In early colonial times many 'settlers' were tom between the will to colonise and economic and cultural reliance on the efforts and knowledge of Aboriginal people. More recently, One Nation supporters attempt to distance themselves from Aboriginal people by constituting them as the barbaric and parasitical other. At the same time, Hansonites indirectly position Aboriginality as central to their own identity and political future. Another group, retired tourists, regularly perpetuate old colonial tropes and publicly express their disdain of Aboriginal people. At the same time, these people yearn for and engage in social practices otherwise associated with Aborigrnal culture. Behind both groups' public attacks on Aborigines as cannibals and the 'Aboriginal Industry' as spongers lies a deep political and cultural reliance on Aboriginality. Romantics and others who aspire to consume and mimic Aboriginal culture are likewise regularly ambivalent and contradictory in their treatment of Aborigmality. It is arguable that many are selfinterested and seek to plunder Aboriginal cultural. However, the very romance that prompts their mimicry can and does act to unsettle the certainty of non-Aboriginal dominance. This prompts people to re-examine their identities and social practices. Ambivalence and complexity is also central to the lives of those involved in the business of Aboriginal governance. On the one hand, these people are clearly implicated in the government and regulation of Aboriginal people. On the other hand, liberal discourse on fairness and equality of opportunity force governmental workers to increase their contact and reliance on Aboriginal people. This often has the effect of provoking changes in non-Aboriginal people's personal and working lives.
The thesis concludes that the engagement of colonial discourse with Aboriginalities inevitably leads to an ambivalence that disables the monolithic dominance of non-Aboriginal Australians. In a range of ways this ambivalence can and does produce conditions whch undermine and transform the cultural lives and identities of non-Aborignal Australians.

no<br>Implicit in the current dialogue on community policing in Australia and New Zealand, is the assumption that the people who comprise our policing organisations need to respond efficiently and competently to changing demographics, crime, terrorism, increasing community and government expectations. It is timely for Australian and New Zealand police jurisdictions to take a lead role in policy and practice of policing in a culturally, linguistically, politically and religiously diverse environment. In order to facilitate this, focus and organisational commitment must be given to developing leadership and recruitment and retention initiatives which enhance the internal diversity of our workforces.

Texto completoResumen
"Sorry" is a play in two acts, exploring how collective memory of the past, including traumatic memory of being taken from one's family, affects the present in complex and surprising ways. The Stolen Generations' episode of Australian history, when mixed heritage Aboriginal Australians were taken from their families as a result of governmental policy, casts its shadow over four generations of Almadi Paice Aboriginal-Afghan-Anglo mixed heritage family members. Against a thematic backdrop of shame, apology and (hoped for) forgiveness, the 'living' family members struggle for empowerment and agency against the forces of government bureaucracy, the Law and their own emotional demons.
"Shame and Apology in the Nation-State: Reflections and Remembrance" is an exegesis which explores theoretical concepts related to collective memory, shame, performative apology and forgiveness, interlinked with Jan Patočka's notion of individual responsibility towards action. Using reciprocal interview material with a number of Aboriginal-Afghan-Anglo mixed heritage participants, who have either had direct experience of being "stolen" or who are related to "stolen" family members, this exegesis explores alternative modes of remembering their past and present in creative art works. In addition, I theorise that in our contemporary "age of apology" political apology to particular wronged groups of national communities may be problematic not only for their ubiquity and their tendency to alibi but because they do not address other important issues such as reparation and guarantees against repetition; nor do they deny the sovereignty of the nation-state apparatus to ‘do’ apology in a manner and at a time of its own choosing. The exegesis explores the importance of national commemoration, such as ANZAC Day, in promoting national collective memory, and theorises that a collective annual commemoration on behalf of the nation’s "stolen" people would be a much more compelling reconciliatory act than a single apology by a particular prime minister. My short story, "We’re Ready", which immediately follows the exegesis is my creative attempt to demonstrate the towards action and towards national reconciliation gestured by annual commemorative performance.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines the possibilities for building a reconciliatory jurisprudence for the protection of indigenous rights under the Australian Constitution. The thesis first examines what could be meant by the term ???reconciliation??? in a legal context and argues that it requires (1) acknowledgement of and atonement for past wrongdoing, (2) the provision of recompense, and (3) the establishment of legal and constitutional structures designed to ensure that similar wrongs are not repeated in the future. The thesis focuses on the last of these three requirements. It is further argued that developing a reconciliatory jurisprudence first requires the courts to free themselves from the dominant paradigm of strict positivism so that they are liberated to pay due regard to questions of morality. Given this framework, the thesis then sets out to examine the purpose and scope of the race power (section 51(xxvi)) of the Australian Constitution, with particular regard to the case of Kartinyeri v Commonwealth in which the High Court directly considered the power. The thesis concludes that the majority of the Court had not, for various reasons, properly considered the nature of the power. An appropriate ruling, it is argued, should find that the power does not enable Parliament to discriminate adversely against racial minorities. The thesis then proceeds to consider whether there are implied terms under the Constitution that protect fundamental rights. It is argued that these rights are indeed protected because the Constitution is based upon the rule of law. In addition constitutional provisions are to be interpreted subject to the presumption that its terms are not to be understood as undermining fundamental rights unless a constitutional provision expressly states otherwise. The thesis also considers whether there is an implied right to equality under the Constitution. The conclusion drawn is that such a right exists and that it is both procedural and substantive in nature.

This thesis analyses materials – a set of guidelines and a presentation – provided for officials who assess claims related to sexual orientation and gender identity within the Australian government’s Department for Immigration and Border Protection. The analysis is conducted using critical discourse analysis to see if the lexicon shows a white heterosexual bias, and if it does, how the bias is manifested within the guidelines, especially within the context of the gender binary. The theoretical framework primarily uses Critical Race theory, but also combines elements of Said’s Orientalism, and absence and presence theory. The results show that the guidelines do have a white heterosexual bias, which manifests itself in the form of, Western superiority, stereotypes about LGBT+ people, as well as an undertheorized portrayal of the gender binary. The findings contribute to research within the queer asylum field, especially with regards to research on migration from a non-gender-binary perspective.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the significance of a Tiwi community's history in order to better understand the work of Aboriginal Community Police Officers (ACPO).The situation under study is a workplace on Bathurst Island in the Northern Territory. The literature on workplace education offers the proposition that an understanding of the socio-cultural and historical context of workplaces is fundamental to thinking about workplace education.It is hypothesised that ACPOs have a dual consciousness of their profession and their workplace, and this consciousness has been informed and shaped by their common history.It is argued that this history is characterised by syncretism. The process of acculturation is researched, where police officers draw on experiences with, and knowledge of, both Tiwi and murrintawi societies.An historical account of the Tiwi society is given.A literary device of vignettes is used, followed by a descriptive-analytical interpretation in which historical events and various social-cultural aspects are described, analysed and interpreted<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

"November 2003".<br>Thesis (PhD)--Macquarie University, Australian Centre for Educational Studies, School of Education, 2004.<br>Bibliography: leaves 243-267.<br>Introduction -- Literature review -- Meanings and perspectives of Reconciliation in the Australian socio-political context -- An explanation of the research method -- Meanings of Reconciliation in the school context -- Survey results -- The role of education in the Reconciliation process -- Obstacles and barriers to Reconciliation -- Teaching for Reconciliation: best practice in teaching resources -- Conclusion.<br>The research detailed in this thesis investigated how schools in NSW responded to the social and political project of Reconciliation at the end of the 1990s. -- The research used a multi-method research approach which included a survey instrument, focus group interviews and key informants interviews with Aboriginal and non Aboriginal teachers, elders and educators, to gather qualitative as well as quantitative data. Differing research methodologies, including Indigenous research paradigms, are presented and discussed within the context of this research. From the initial research questions a number of sub-questions emerged which included: -The exploration of meanings and perspectives of Reconciliation evident in both the school and wider communities contexts and the extent to which these meanings and perspectives were transposed from the community to the school sector. -The perceived level of support for Reconciliation in school communities and what factors impacted on this level of support. -Responses of school communities to Reconciliation in terms of school programs and teaching strategies including factors which enhanced the teaching of Reconciliation issues in the classroom and factors which acted as barriers. -- Firstly in order to provide the context for the research study, the thesis provides a brief historical overview of the creation of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation. It then builds a framework through which the discourses of Reconciliation are presented and deconstructed. These various meanings and perspectives of Reconciliation are placed within a linear spectrum of typologies, from 'hard', 'genuine' or 'substantive' Reconciliation advocated by the Left, comprising a strong social justice agenda, first nation rights and compensation for past injustices, to the assimiliationist typologies desired by members of the Right which suggest that Reconciliation is best achieved through the total integration of Aboriginal people into the mainstream community, with Aboriginal people accepting the reality of their dispossession. -- In between these two extremes lie degrees of interpretations of what constitutes Reconciliation, including John Howard's current Federal Government interpretation of 'practical' Reconciliation. In this context "Left" and "Right" are defined less by political ideological lines of the Labor and Liberal parties than by attitudes to human rights and social justice. Secondly, and within the socio-political context presented above, the thesis reports on research conducted with Indigenous and non Indigenous educators, students and elders in the context of the NSW school system to decipher meanings and perspectives on Reconciliation as reflected in that sector. It then makes comparisons with research conducted on behalf of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation during the 1990s on attitudes to Reconciliation in the community. Perceived differences are analysed and discussed.<br>The research further explores how schools approached the teaching of Reconciliation through a series of survey questions designed to document the types of activities undertaken by the schools with Reconciliation as the main aim. -- Research findings indicated that while both the community at large and the education community are overwhelmingly supportive of Reconciliation, both as a concept and as a government policy, when questioned further as to the depth and details of this commitment to Reconciliation and the extent to which they may be supportive of the 'hard' issues of Reconciliation, their views and level of support were more wide ranging and deflective. -- Findings indicated that, in general, educators have a more multi-layered understanding of the issues related to Reconciliation than the general community, and a proportion of them do articulate more clearly those harder, more controversial aspects of the Reconciliation process (eg just compensation, land and sea rights, customary laws). However, they are in the main, unsure of its meaning beyond the 'soft' symbolic acts and gatherings which occur in schools. In the late 1990s, when Reconciliation was at the forefront of the national agenda, research findings indicate that while schools were organising cultural and curriculum activities in their teaching of Indigenous history or Aboriginal studies - they did not specifically focus on Reconciliation in their teaching programs as an issue in the community. Teachers did not have a clearly defined view of what Reconciliation entailed and schools were not teaching about Reconciliation directly within their curriculum programs. -- The research also sought to identify facotrs which acted as enhancers of a Reconciliation program in schools and factors which were seen as barriers. Research findings clearly pointed to community and parental attitudes as important barriers with time and an overcrowded curriculum as further barriers to the implementation of teaching programs.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the significance of a Tiwi community's history in order to better understand the work of Aboriginal Community Police Officers (ACPO).The situation under study is a workplace on Bathurst Island in the Northern Territory. The literature on workplace education offers the proposition that an understanding of the socio-cultural and historical context of workplaces is fundamental to thinking about workplace education.It is hypothesised that ACPOs have a dual consciousness of their profession and their workplace, and this consciousness has been informed and shaped by their common history.It is argued that this history is characterised by syncretism. The process of acculturation is researched, where police officers draw on experiences with, and knowledge of, both Tiwi and murrintawi societies.An historical account of the Tiwi society is given.A literary device of vignettes is used, followed by a descriptive-analytical interpretation in which historical events and various social-cultural aspects are described, analysed and interpreted

Although the ‘White Australia policy’ was officially rejected
over 40 years ago, this thesis argues that it continues to
influence notions of belonging in Australia today. While racial
exclusion from the national community was once achieved through
discretionary mechanisms embedded in migration laws and policy,
today, it is achieved through Australian citizenship laws and
policy.
This thesis critically examines the package of law reforms
introduced in 2007, which subsequently became the Australian
Citizenship Act 2007 (Cth) (‘ACA’). It explores the extent to
which Australian citizenship law enables or limits culturally
diverse expressions of belonging in a liberal, multicultural and
democratic nation. The thesis is underpinned by a critical race
theory approach, which understands the relationship between law
and culture as mutually constitutive. That is, it sees the law as
not only reflecting social norms but participating in their
production and reinforcement. The thesis draws out ways that
Australian citizenship laws mobilise narratives of belonging
which construct a racialised Australian national imaginary.
Using a range of interdisciplinary approaches (including legal
analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis and critical legal
geography), the thesis identifies and analyses narratives about
belonging circulating in three significant fields of public
discourse; legal, political and media discourse. It argues that
these public discourses articulate the meaning of the legal
status of citizenship through racially exclusionary narratives
about Australian values and an ‘Australian way of life’.
The thesis argues that Australian citizenship law is an
increasingly important site used to produce and sustain a
racially exclusionary national imaginary. It analyses how
narratives about Australian citizenship status are increasingly
articulated in opposition to migrants generally, but the Muslim
Other in particular. These racialised narratives of belonging are
conveyed through decisions made under the ACA. Having identified
how the law mobilises narratives which produce and sustain a
White national imaginary, Judith Butler’s theory of
performativity is used to identify some possible citizenship
counter-narratives.
It concludes that, contrary to official statements, Australian
citizenship status does not facilitate an inclusive notion of
national belonging. Instead, it is a mechanism that produces and
sustains a White national imaginary.

Thesis (PhD)--Macquarie University, Division of Society, Culture, Media & Philosophy, Department of Anthropology, 2006.<br>Bibliography: p. 257-276.<br>Introduction: coming to Wilcannia -- Wilcannia: plenty of Aborigines, but no culture -- Who you is? -- Cultural values: ambivalences and ambiguities -- Praise, success and opportunity -- "Art an' culture: the two main things, right?" -- Big Murray Butcher: "We still doin' it" -- Granny Moisey's baby: the art of Badger Bates -- Epilogue.<br>Dominant society discourses and images have long depicted the Aboriginal people of the town of Wilcannia in far Western New South Wales as having no 'culture'. In asking what this means and how this situation might have come about, the thesis seeks to respond through an ethnographic exploration of these discourses and images. The work explores problematic and polemic dominant society assumptions regarding 'culture' and 'Aboriginal culture', their synonyms and their effects. The work offers Aboriginal counter-discourses to the claim of most white locals and dominant culture that the Aboriginal people of Wilcannia have no culture. In so doing the work presents reflexive notions about 'culture' as verbalised and practiced, as well as providing an ethnography of how culture is more tacitly lived. -- Broadly, the thesis looks at what it is to be Aboriginal in Wilcannia from both white and black perspectives. The overarching concern of this thesis is a desire to unpack what it means to be black in Wilcannia. The thesis is primarily about the competing values and points of view within and between cultures, the ways in which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people tacitly and reflexively express and interpret difference, and the ambivalence and ambiguity that come to bear in these interactions and experiences. This thesis demonstrates how ideas and actions pertaining to 'race' and 'culture' operate in tandem through an exploration of values and practices relating to 'work', 'productivity', 'success', 'opportunity' and the domain of 'art'. These themes are used as vehicles to understanding the 'on the ground' effects and affects of cultural perceptions and difference. They serve also to demonstrate the ambiguity and ambivalence that is experienced as well as being brought to bear upon relationships which implicitly and explicitly are concerned with, and concern themselves with difference.<br>Mode of access: World Wide Web.<br>xii, 276 p. ill

Texto completoResumen
In the aftermath of Indian students’ protest in Melbourne in 2009 a heated international debate between Indian and Australian media brought a question at the core of Australian national identity to the centre of national and international attention: is Australia racist? In Australia, public responses to this question have ranged from denial to acknowledgment of the continued existence of racial discrimination in Australia. This binary has been reflected and reproduced in public responses to the problems that international students have been seen to face during their stay in the country: emotional distress, social exclusion and exploitation. Those who have denied that Australia is not a racist country are also those who have depicted international students as “bogus migrants” making themselves vulnerable to exploitation by taking advantage of the loopholes in the Australian migration system. Meanwhile, those who have acknowledged racism in Australia have been also those who, in advocating in favour of international students, have represented them as “victims” of unscrupulous migration and education agents as well as racist Australians. This somewhat generalised overview of the debate highlights what both positions have in common: the absence of critical engagement with the history of international students’ presence in Australia. With no reference to this complex history, the national “problem” of international students has been almost always regarded as an isolated object of worried analysis and anxious governmental intervention in public discourse. To go beyond this binaristic mode of representing international students, this thesis first and foremost aims to historicise the debate erupted on the occasion of the protest of Indian students by undertaking a genealogical account of international students’ history of presence in Australia. In unfolding this history, this thesis also seeks to reveal how internationals students have been the privileged subjects of a doubled economy of discourses, one economic the other affective. In the process, it sheds light on the role of emotions in shaping the territorial and social borders of the Australian nation as well as in sustaining an international order of racialised positions dominated by Western nations due to their alleged capacity to control and act upon their emotions instead of being subsumed by them. To do so, this thesis analyses how the historical investment in the representation of international students as melancholic subjects has created the very conditions for the conversion of sympathetic feelings such as compassion into resentment. Conversely, this thesis will examine how the articulation of resentment into discourse regarding the governance of international students has established over time the level of inclusion of international students in the nation by aligning them with or against other population groups such as skilled migrants and asylum seekers. This thesis concludes by arguing that both the naming of international students as object of national compassion and resentment have stemmed from the same “white fantasy” that social problems and inequalities can be overcome without taking into account the history of structural and symbolic inequalities that has characterised race relations in Australia since its colonisation.

Texto completoResumen
[Truncated abstract] Investor relations (IR) management encompasses a broad range of activities including voluntary disclosure, attracting analyst coverage, targeting investors, and providing feedback to corporate managers (Byrd, Goulet, Johnson and Johnson 1993; Brennan and Tamarowski 2000; Bushee and Miller 2005). In recent years, a number of high profile corporate collapses and concerns about selective disclosure have contributed to an increased awareness of the importance of effective IR practices in promoting investor confidence. To this end, Australian market regulators and industry bodies have developed a number of best practice guidelines relating to disclosure and corporate governance. The current study undertakes a comprehensive investigation of corporate approaches to IR in the Australian context, and seeks to explain cross-sectional variation in these. The sample utilised in this study comprises 129 All Ordinaries Index (AOI) constituent companies that responded to a mail survey conducted in 2006 regarding their IR practices. The survey of all AOI companies constitutes the first Australian academic survey of IR practices, and the views of the individuals responsible for the function. Self-reported data are combined with data collected from the sample entities' websites to provide a detailed overview of corporate IR programs. The results of the survey suggest that there is widespread recognition, within the sample, of the importance of devoting organisational resources to IR. ... Several proxies for the extent of investment in IR are developed in this study. Two proxies capture organisational arrangements for managing IR, one proxy captures the frequency of one-to-one meetings with analysts and investors, and one proxy captures the quality of IR websites. Multivariate analyses relate cross-sectional variation in these to a number of firm-specific variables. Consistent with findings presented in the empirical voluntary disclosure literature, this study shows that the extent of investment in IR is positively associated with firm size, a finding that is common across all IR proxies. Ownership characteristics play an important role in explaining different types of investment in IR, as captured by the four proxies. Ownership concentration is negatively associated with the likelihood of employing an external IR consultant and positively associated with the frequency with which one-to-one meetings are held with analysts and investors. Firms with a foreign stock exchange listing, a proxy for the importance of foreign investors, achieve higher scores for the quality of their IR websites. Adverse selection models of voluntary disclosure predict that firms with good news are likely to disclose more. In contrast, the results of this study show that less profitable firms and firms with lower price-to-book ratios are more likely to have an IR department/officer, and they achieve higher scores for the quality of their IR websites. Finally, the nature of the investment in IR appears to differ with sector membership. Firms in the Materials and Energy sectors held more one-to-one meetings than firms in other sectors, while firms in the Information Technology sector are more likely to have an IR department or IR officer, and have higher quality IR websites than firms in other sectors.

Between 1873 and 1945 Japan and Mongolia had a complex and important relationship that has been largely overlooked in post-war studies of Japans imperial era. In fact, Japanese-Mongolian relations in the modern period provide a rich field of enquiry into the nature of Japanese imperialism as well as further evidence of the complexity of Japans relationships with other Asian countries in the decades before 1945. This thesis examines the relationship from the Japanese perspective, drawing on a diverse range of contemporary materials, both official and unofficial, including military documents, government reports, travel guides and academic works, many of which have been neglected in earlier studies. In previous analyses, the strategic dimension has been seen as overwhelming and Mongolia has often been regarded as merely a minor addendum to Japans relationship with Manchuria. In fact, however, Japans connection with Mongolia itself was a crucial part of its interaction with the Chinese continent from the 1870s to 1945. Though undeniably coveted for strategic reasons, Mongolia also offered unparalleled opportunities for the elaboration of all the major aspects of the discourses that made up Japans evolving claim to solidarity with and leadership of Asia. It also functioned as a showcase for Japans supposedly benevolent intentions towards Asia. In some ways, moreover, the relationship with Mongolia was presented as distinctive, particularly because of the common faith in Buddhism and a supposedly shared ancestry in ethnic terms. In turn, the military, political, ideological and cultural opportunities apparently provided by Mongolia account for the wide range of groups and individuals in Japan that developed Mongolian connections and for the often close relations between these groups and individuals on the one hand, and the most powerful institutions of the Japanese state on the other.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the presentation of race relations in two Sesotho novels written
after 1994. The purpose of the study is to establish whether or not post-apartheid
Sesotho novels present race relations as they were presented during the apartheid era.
The novels of focus are, N.S. Zulu's Nonyana ya Tshepo (The bird of hope) (1997) and
T.W.D. Mohapi's Lehfaba fa fephako (The pain of hunger) (1999). The manner in which
the authors who wrote during the two distinct eras presented the issue of race and
presented race relations will be the focal point. At the end of this study it should be clear
whether or not authors after 1994, that is, after the apartheid era continue to present
race relations in an idealistic manner.
During the apartheid era authors such Lesoro (1968) and Mophethe (1966) were very
cautious when presenting race relations in their novels. The common factor in these
novels is the portrayal of the white Afrikaner characters by the authors. White characters
were portrayed as very merciful, good Samaritans and their relationship with their black
counterparts were often harmonious and crisis free. Attributes of race such as racial
discrimination, racial hatred, racial conflict and racial intolerance were seldom spoken
about in those novels. This is reminiscent of the notorious apartheid laws, which prohibit
freedom of press. White characters in some novels published during the apartheid era
were not characters derived from real life.
In N.S. Zulu's novel, Nonyana ya Tshepo we examine the portrayal of the characters
from the two distinct races, black Africans and white Afrikaners. The author portrays the
two groups of characters to be what Scholes (1981 :11) calls characters representative
of a social class, race and a profession. Black characters are portrayed as the exploited,
which are always inferior, submissive and subjected to racial discrimination by their
white counterparts. White Afrikaners are portrayed as the exploiters, who are superior,
oppressors and the ones who further the policy of apartheid. This state of affairs
prompted the black Africans to develop hatred towards the Whites. Instead of idolizing
their masters, Blacks do the opposite. Our main character, Tshepo who is said to be fathered by the white Afrikaner, is marginalized by his fellow Blacks and declared an
outcast.
In T.W.D. Mohapi's novel, Lehlaba la lephako, the main character, Seabata who lusts for
power and wealth is seen struggling for both at the expense of his fellow black Africans.
Seabata is used by his white boss, Sepanapodi, to maintain the legacy of apartheid. The
narrator portrays Seabata in such a way that he could carry out his boss' mission.
Seabata is power hungry and always likes to please his boss to attain that, even if that
means creating enmity with his own black people.
Seabata's socio-economic status makes him vulnerable to manipulation by
Sepanapodi. Seabata was advised by his father that he should always strive to please
his master in order to gain glory and wealth. He followed the advice slavishly and that
left him devastated. He found himself at loggerheads with his colleagues, with the
pastor, Nkgelwane, with a local teacher, Mohanelwa and with his wife, Mmabatho.
Conflict between Seabata and the community is caused by the pain of hunger.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling van hierdie studie is om ondersoek in te stel of die twee Sesotho
novelles wat na 1994 geskrywe is, die verhouding tussen verskillende rasse behandel.
Die doel van die studie is om uit te vind of die Sesotho novelles wat gedurende die
tydperk van apartheid die aanbieding van rasse-verhouding dek, soos wat dit aangewys
was gedurende die tydperk van apartheid. Die ondersoek sal gedoen word met die
vergelykking van twee novelles wat na 1994 geskrywe is, d.w.s. N.S. Zulu se Nonyana
ya Tshepo en T.W.D. Mohapi se Leh/aba /a /ephako . Die manier waarop die twee
skrywers wat gedurende die twee afsonderlike tydperk, die kwessie van rasse behandel,
en hoe hulle dit aangebied het, sal die fokuspunt wees. Aan die einde van hierdie studie
moet dit duideliker word aan die lesers tot watter mate die skrywers wat na 1994 geskryf
het, d.w.s na die apartheid tydperk, nog die rasse-verhouding op 'n idealistiese manier
aangebied het.
Die skrywers wat gedurende die apartheid tydperk geskrywe het, soos Lesoro (1968) en
Mophethe (1966) was baie versigtig toe hulle die rasse-verhouding in hulle novelles
aangebied het. Die gewone faktor van hierdie novelles is die uitbeelding van die wit
Afrikaners se karakters deur die skrywers. Wit karakters is altyd as baie barmhagtig, en
as goeie Samaritane beskrywe, en hul verhouding teenoor hulle swart teenhangers is
dikwels eensgesind en vry van krisis uitgebeeld. Die hoedanigheid van rasseonderskeiding
wat rassehaat, rasse in stryd met mekaar, en rasse onverdraagsaamheid,
is in daardie tyd seide van geskryf in die novelle. Dit herinner die leser aan die
ongunstige apartheidswette wat nie vryheid van die pers toegelaat het nie. Wit
karakters, in sommige novelle wat gedurende die tydperk van apartheid gepubliseer is,
is nie karakters wat van die ware lewe afgelei is nie.
In N.S. Zulu se novelle, Nonyana ya Tshepo word 'n uitbeelding gemaak van karakters
van die twee afsonderlike rasse, die swart Afrikaners en die wit Afrikaners. Die skrywer
beeld die twee groepe van karaktes as die wat Scholes (1981 :11) noem die wat
verteenwoordigend van 'n sosiale klas, rasse en beroep is. Swart karakters is beskrywe
as diegene wat geeksploiteer word, wat altyd as minderwaardige, onderworpe en mindere rasse beskou word. Hulle word gediskrimineer deur hulle wit landgenote. Wit
Afrikaners is beskou as die eksploiteerders, wat die voortreflike onderdrukkers is en wat
wat die beleid van apartheid laat voortgaan. Hierdie toestand het die swart Afrikaners
gelei om haat te ontwikkel teenoor die Wittes. In plaas van om hulle meesters eer te
bewys, het die swart Afrikaners die teenoorgestelde gedrag. Die hoofkarakter, Tshepo,
wat geglo is dat hy kind van die wit Afrikaner is, is deur sy mense verban en as
verworpeling verklaar.
In T.W.D. Mohapi se novelle, Lehlaba la lephako het die hoofkarakter, Seabata,
begeertes van mag en rykdom. Hy word opgelei as 'n stryder op koste van sy
medemense, swart Afrikaners. Seabata is deur sy wit meester, Sepanapodi misbruik om
die nalatenskap van apartheid te handhaaf. Die verteller beeld Seabata af op so 'n
manier dat dit duidelik is dat Seabata sy baas se opdrag sou voortdra. Hy, Seabata het
'n wens om mag te he en bo alles om sy baas tevrede te stel op koste van ander swart
Afrikaners, al maak dit hom 'n vyand van sy mense. Seabata se sosiale status het hom
laat kwesbaar ge stel teenoor Sepanapodi se manipulasie. Sy vader het hom advies
gegee dat hy altyd sy meester moes bevredig ter wille van glorie en rykdom. Hy het toe
die advies van sy vader slaafs nagevolg, daarom het dit hom in 'n neerdrukkende gevoel
laat eef. Aan die einde is hy in 'n konflik met andere soos sy kollegas, die plaaslike
predikant, Nkgelwane, die onderwyser, Mohanelwa en sy vrou. Die stryd wat Seabata
met al die mense in die gemeenskap het, is die oorsaak van hongersnood.

This thesis examines news representations of Canadian, American and Australian military personnel involved in military 'sex scandals'. I explore what the representations of military personnel involved in well-publicized sex scandals reveal about scripts of soldiering and militarized masculinities. Despite a history of systemic violence in the military, I ask how and why the systemic nature of militarized masculinities are able to remain invisible, driving representations to focus on the ‘bad’ behaviour of individuals? By engaging with feminist scholarship in International Relations, I present the longstanding culture of misogyny, racism, homophobia and ableism in the Canadian, American and Australian militaries, focusing on the ways in which militarized masculinities are guided by these violent structures, and fundamental to the military's creation of soldiers. My dissertation uses the tools of critical discourse analysis to unpack the ways blame is individualised in cases of sexual and racist violence involving military personnel, while the military’s ableism, rape culture and imperial militarized masculinities are commonly naturalized or celebrated without regard for how they are fundamentally violent. My thesis presents an intersectional feminist project that intervenes in emerging questions in the field of transnational disability studies, tracing how militarism, hegemonic militarized masculinities and imperial soldiering (re)produce categories of ability and disability.

The Hawke Labor government came to power in March 1983 committed to playing a more active
role in finding a solution to the Cambodian conflict, improving bilateral relations with Vietnam
and restoring Australian aid. This signalled a departure from the Fraser government's
minimal involvement in the issue, and reflected a closer identification of Australia's interests
with the Asia-Pacific region. As Foreign Minister, Bill Hayden, explained:
The war in Cambodia, in all its many dimensions, is the greatest unresolved source of
tension in Southeast Asia...The future of Australia lies in developing a mature and
balanced set of relationships with its neighbours in Southeast Asia. Indochina is part of that neighbourhood.
