This thesis investigates the representation of Australia's cultural diversity in contemporary Australian drama from 1990 to 2014. It traces Australian governments' reports and statements of the policy of multiculturalism from 1977 to 2017 and critiques their promulgation of Australian multiculturalism as mainly aligning with the dominant culture. Through its analysis of nine plays by eleven playwrights from diverse cultural backgrounds, plays which reflect Australia's linguistic and cultural diversity, this thesis contends that literary writing - and drama in particular - opens a space for alternative models of multiculturalism. Through its exploration of the journey motif in most of those plays, the thesis challenges the assumption that themes of displacement, alienation and belonging are restricted to works by playwrights from migrant backgrounds. In this sense, it argues that multicultural writing is not restricted to works by writers from migrant backgrounds or dealing with the issues of migration. Through its engagement with the relationship between form and content in these plays, and the role of form in conveying the fluidity of Australian identity, the thesis contributes to scholarship on postcolonial drama. It also argues that resistant postcolonial writing is not restricted to Aboriginal writing but can incorporate works by white and migrant Australians as well.

This educational history thesis contributes to knowledge of citizenship education in Australia during the 1940s and 1950s. It provides unique perspectives on an important part of Australian citizenship educational history. This examination of citizenship education also helps to explain contemporary trends and the recent revival of citizenship education in multicultural Australia. Following the Second World War, Australian political leaders initiated an unprecedented immigration programme to help develop and defend post-war Australia. The programme enjoyed bipartisan support and was extraordinary in terms of magnitude and nature. It became the catalyst for a citizenship education campaign orchestrated by Federal political leaders for the benefit of all Australians. The citizenship education campaign was, however, primarily aimed at non-British adult migrants. The intention of the Federal Government was to maintain the cultural hegemony of the Anglo-Celts evident in pre-war Australia. In accordance with government policy, the new arrivals were expected to assimilate into the Australian community and become loyal citizens. Citizenship rested on a common national language and thus, the focus was on teaching migrants of non-British origin English for the workplace, everyday intercourse and, as a means to dissuade migrant enclaves. This thesis comprises of three sections which illustrate how the citizenship education campaign was extended through: (i) official education channels; (ii) the media, specifically the Australian Broadcasting Commission; and (iii) annual citizenship conventions which encompasses a case study of the Good Neighbour Movement in New South Wales. These particular areas have been chosen as they identify important and different ways the campaign was expressed and funded. Discussion of the financial arrangements concerning the implementation of the campaign is important as it uniquely illustrates the power of the Federal authorities to direct the campaign as they considered necessary. It also highlights conflict between Federal and State authorities in dealing with the education of new arrivals, primarily due to the traditional two-tier system of government extant in Australia. The general theoretical framework of this thesis emanates from concepts and ideas of writers who illustrate, in general, the concentration of power within Australia society and supports this work's notion of a `top-down' paradigm, i.e. one invariably directed by the nation's political leaders. This paradigm is presented in an effort to provide an appreciation of the powerful nature of the Federal Government's immigration policy and citizenship education campaign in the dramatic post-war reconstruction period. The thesis is related to an elite theory of political change but with due consideration to issues of context, that is, Australian society in the 1940s and 1950s. Understanding that there was a citizenship education campaign provides a novel means of appreciating post-war immigration policy. The campaign embedded and tied together multifarious notions extant in the Australian Government policy for the Australian community in meeting the challenges of a nation experiencing massive social and economic change. Significantly, this study helps to explain the shift from the Anglo-Celtic, mono-cultural view of citizenship to one that officially recognises the culturally diverse nature of Australian society today.

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 dissertation examines the intersection of everyday multiculturalism and digital
storytelling in Australia. Using Judith Butler’s theory of performativity amongst others, the
dissertation addresses the question: what are the ways in which Australian digital
storytelling projects engage with concepts of “cultural diversity” to create complex and
resistant material possibilities for “ethnic Australians”? Digital stories have become a
popular tool in community-based arts projects, representative of an overall turn to the
everyday in Australian contemporary arts practice. The growing popularity of everyday
experiences in art is paralleled by the growing scholarship of everyday multiculturalism; a
new field of study that explores the lived experiences of multicultural encounters in
Australia. Digital stories thus form a social technology at the intersection of key
movements in cultural studies. The dissertation analyses ACMI’s digital storytelling
programme alongside Big hART’s Junk Theory to consider how ethnic bodies are
constructed and mobilised in everyday Australian life in relation to the performative force
of normative whiteness. It then moves to consider the capacity for digital storytelling to
accommodate slippages in the performative chain. The new media practices of Curious
Works are used to illustrate how the discursive force of whiteness can be disrupted via
digital storytelling, making way for a reconstitution of a more complex “ethnic” body in
everyday life.Arts, Faculty of

In this article, readers are going to see how foreigners’ children have been treated in the Japanese educational system. Until now, Japan does not have a specific principle idea in their policies; therefore, those are not stable and concrete. In order to investigate how national policies and its doctrine are important in the educational system, this article has examined Australia as a nation introducing the principles of multiculturalism and France as a nation introducing the republicanism in their integrated politics by doing a literature research. The literature that was used in this paper include the policies and critical papers written by experts that has allow us to analyze the pros and cons of their policies. As a result, the Japanese government is urged to create a concrete policy that would support foreign students to better adapt to the society and become a productive human resource to improve the country’s wellbeing.Este artículo examinó la situación actual y pasada de los hijos de extranjeros insertos en el sistema educativo japonés. Hasta ahora, Japón no tiene una idea concreta en sus políticas y es por eso que se puede afirmar que este sistema presenta algunas deficiencias/problemas que pueden ser mejorados. Con el objetivo de ver cómo los principios de las políticas nacionales afectan a la educación, en este artículo se han presentado los ejemplos de Australia, como una nación llevando los principios del multiculturalismo y a Francia, como ejemplo de una nación llevando los principios del republicanismo y sus políticas para la integración de sus ciudadanos. La literatura utilizada en este trabajo incluye las políticas y documentos críticos escritos por expertos, los cuales fueron de gran ayuda para poder analizar los pros y contras de las políticas de los distintos países estudiados.Como resultado, el gobierno japonés va a necesitar una política concreta para apoyar a los estudiantes extranjeros a adaptarse a la sociedad y convertirse en un recurso humano productivo para mejorar el país.
Neste artigo, pode-se verificar como os filhos de estrangeiros têm sido tratados dentro do sistema educacional japonês. Até o momento, o Japão não tem uma política de inclusão bem definida e, consequentemente, seu sistema não está bem estabelecido. Como medida para avaliar a influência dos princípios das políticas nacionais na educação, neste trabalho, foram apresentados exemplos de outros países. Através de uma investigação da literatura, foram estudados os seguintes países, a Austrália, uma nação que cultiva os princípios do multiculturalismo, e a França, levando os princípios do republicanismo e suas políticas de integração dos cidadãos. Esta revisão foi baseada nos princípios e nos respectivos documentos analíticos escritos por especialistas com o objetivo de avaliar as vantagens e desvantagens da política de integração desenvolvida nos países anteriormente mencionados. Em vista disso, sugere-se ao governo japonês a adoção de uma política concreta de apoio aos estudantes estrangeiros a fim de facilitar sua adaptação a sociedade, resultando na formação de recurso humano qualificado e produtivo, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento do país.

Competing narratives on the “rise and fall of multiculturalism” (Kymlicka 2010) confuse our understanding of the evolution of multiculturalism policy, particularly in the case of federations like Canada and Australia. Part of the issue is the sharp separation between stability and change and prevailing focus on national multiculturalism policies. This overlooks important and simultaneous developments in the constituent units of these two federations. We therefore ask how and why have multiculturalism policies changed in the constituent units of Australia and Canada? First, we argue that amid a noticeable decline in support for multiculturalism on the part of the central government in both countries, constituent unit governments have become a crucial source of multiculturalism policy development in Australia and Canada. Because many of the economic, labour, civil rights and social policy challenges involve state/provincial or shared responsibilities, multiculturalism policies are developed and implemented in large part by constituent units. Thus, we cannot comment on multiculturalism policies in federations without paying attention to the experiences and contributions of constituent units. Second, we argue this process of multiculturalism policy change can be conceptualized along four modes of gradual institutional change referred to as policy drift, layering, displacement, and conversion. These incremental modes of policy change are the result of a distinct combination of contextual, structural, and agency-based factors. More precisely, (1) a shift in the socio-political context marks the opening of a critical juncture as new ideas and demands for reform emerge; (2) institutional rules with separate compliance and enforcement standards structure reform pathways; and (3) the relationship between policy and political entrepreneurship activates the causal mechanisms that consolidate the separate modes of gradual institutional change. The dissertation therefore offers a more complete theoretical explanation of the processes of institutional change, their ideational influences and causal mechanisms through fresh empirical observation. Building on Mahoney and Thelen’s (2010) theory on gradual institutional change, the dissertation applies a process-tracing method over the period 1989 to 2019 to four case studies: Nova Scotia, South Australia, New South Wales, and British Columbia. In sum, generating inquiry that looks beyond national policies allows us to capture concurrent processes happening within and across State/provincial boundaries, which in turn shape their shared citizenship.

This dissertation presents a study of Chinese diasporic narratives from Canada and Australia and examines the formation and negotiation of diasporic cultural identity and consciousness. Drawing upon theoretical discussions on diasporas in general, it investigates how the Chinese diaspora is imagined and represented, as a visible minority group, within the context of the multicultural nation state.
This dissertation begins with a taxonomy of the modes of explaining diaspora and offers three ways of theorising diasporic consciousness. In analysing the filmic and fictional narrative forms of the Chinese in Canada and Australia, the practices of cultural self-representation and of minority group participation and enjoyment of the nation are foregrounded in order to advance critical analysis of the Chinese diaspora. While taking into account the heterogeneity of the imagined diasporic Chinese community, this study also contends that the formation and negotiation of diasporic consciousness and diasporic cultural identity politics is strongly and invariably affected by the multicultural conditions and policies of their host countries. The adaptation and manifestation of minority groups cultural practices are thus a matter of social, cultural and political contingencies more often aligned with dominant cultural expectations and manipulations than with the assertiveness of more empowered minority group participation. This dissertation therefore argues for a broader and more complex understanding of diasporic cultural and identity politics in the widespread attempts to merge and incorporate minority group narratives into the key foundational (grand) narratives of the white nation state. The importance of reinscribing Chinese diasporic histories into the cultural landscapes of their receiving countries is moreover increasingly propelled by the speed and momentum of globalisation that has resulted in the growing number of multicultural societies on the one hand but also led to the homogenisation of cultural differences and diversities.
In focussing on the fictional and filmic narratives from Canada and Australia, the diversity of the Chinese diasporic community and their conditions are emphasised in order to reflect upon the differences in the administration and practice of multiculturalism in these two countries. The comparative reading of Chinese-Canadian and Chinese-Australian novels and films locates its analysis of notions of homeland and belonging, community and national and cultural citizenship within the context of the development and negotiation of diasporic identity politics.

This thesis examines changes which have occurred since the late 1980s and early 1990s with respect to the representation of cultural diversity on Australian popular drama programming. The thesis finds that a significant number of actors of diverse cultural and linguistic background have negotiated the television industry employment process to obtain acting roles in a lead capacity. The majority of these actors are from the second generation of immigrants, who increasingly make up a significant component of Australia's multicultural population. The way in which these actors are portrayed on-screen has also shifted from one of a 'performed' ethnicity, to an 'everyday' portrayal. The thesis develops an analysis which connects the development and broad political support for multicultural policy as expressed in the National Agenda for a Multicultural Australia to the changes in both employment and representation practices in popular television programming in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The thesis addresses multicultural debates by arguing for a mainstreaming position. The thesis makes detailed comparison of cultural diversity and television in the jurisdictions of the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand to support the broad argument that cultural diversity policy measures produce observable outcomes in television programming.

The Russian Orthodox community is a relatively small and little known group in Australian society, however, the history of the Russian presence in Australia goes back to 1809. As the Russian community includes a number of groups, both Christian and non-Christian, it would not be feasible to undertake a complete review of all aspects of the community and consequently, this work limits itself in scope to the Russian Orthodox community. The thesis broadly chronicles the development of the Russian community as it struggles to become a viable partner in Australia’s multicultural society. Many never before published documents have been researched and hitherto closed archives in Russia have been accessed. To facilitate this research the author travelled to Russia, the United States and a number of European centres to study the archives of pre-Soviet Russian communities. Furthermore, the archives and publications of the Australian and New Zealand Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church have been used extensively. The thesis notes the development of Australian-Russian relations as contacts with Imperial Russian naval and scientific ships visiting the colonies increase during the 1800’s and traces this relationship into the twentieth century. With the appearance of a Russian community in the nineteenth century, attempts were made to establish the Russian Orthodox Church on Australian soil. However, this did not eventuate until the arrival of a number of groups of Russian refugees after the Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War (1918-1922). As a consequence of Australia’s “Populate or Perish” policy following the Second World War, the numbers of Russian and other Orthodox Slavic displaced persons arriving in this country grew to such an extent that the Russian Church was able to establish a diocese in Australia, and later in New Zealand. The thesis then divides the history of the Russian Orthodox presence into chapters dealing with the administrative epochs of each of the ruling bishops. This has proven to be a suitable matrix for study as each period has its own distinct personalities and issues. The successes, tribulations and challengers of the Church in Australia are chronicled up to the end of the twentieth century. However, a further chapter deals with the issue of the Church’s prospects in Australia and its relevance to future generations of Russian Orthodox people. As the history of the Russians in this country has received little attention in the past, this work gives a broad spectrum of the issues, people and events associated with the Russian community and society at large, whilst opening up new opportunities for further research.

This study investigates the challenges facing screenwriters in Australia who set out to represent the Japanese on screen. The study is presented in two parts; an exegesis and a creative practice component consisting of two full length feature film screenplays. The exegesis explores how certain screenwriting conventions have constrained recent screen images of the Japanese within the bounds of the cliched and stereotypical, and argues for a greater resistance to these conventions in the future. The two screenplays experiment with new ways of representing the Japanese in mainstream Australian film and aim to expand the repertoire of Asian images in the national film culture.

[Truncated abstract] This thesis offers a re-contextualisation of multiculturalism and immigration in Australia in the 1970s and 80s in relation to crucial and progressive shifts in gender and sexuality. It provides new ways of examining issues of belonging and cultural citizenship in this field of inquiry, within an Australian context. The thesis explores the role sexuality played in creating a framework through which anxieties about immigration and multiculturalism manifested. It considers how debates about gender and sexuality provided fuel to concerns about ethnic diversity and breaches of the 'cultural' borders of Australia. I have chosen three significant historical moments in which anxieties around events relating to immigration/multiculturalism were most heightened: these are the beginning of the 'official' policy of multiculturalism in Australia in 1973; the arrival of large numbers of Vietnamese refugees as a consequence of the Vietnam War in 1979; and 1984, a year in which the furore over the alleged 'Asianisation' of Australia reached a peak. In these years, multiple and recurring representations served to recreate norms as applicable to the white heterosexual family, not only as a commentary and prescriptive device for migrants, but as a means of reinforcing 'Australianness' itself. A focus on the body as a border/site of belonging and in turn, crucially, its relationship to the heterosexual nuclear family as a marker of 'cultural citizenship', lies at the heart of this exploration. Normative ideas of gender and sexuality, I demonstrate, were integral in informing the ambivalence about multiculturalism and ethnic diversity in Australia. Indeed, for each of these years I examine how the discourses of gender and sexuality, evident for example in parliamentary debates such as that relating to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, were intricately tied to ongoing concerns regarding growing non-white ethnicity in Australia, and indeed, enabled it. ... In pursuing this contribution, the work draws critically upon recent innovative interdisciplinary scholarship in the field of sexuality and immigration, and draws upon a broad range of sources to inform a comprehensive and complex examination of these issues. Sources employed include the major newspapers and periodicals of the time, Parliamentary debates from the Commonwealth House of Representatives, Parliamentary Committee findings and publications, speeches and polemics, and relevant legislation. This inquiry is an interrogation of a key methodological question: can sexuality, in its workings through ethnicity and 'race', be used as a primary tool of analysis in discussing how whiteness and 'Australianness' reconfigured itself through normative heteropatriarchy in an era that claimed to champion and celebrate difference? How and why did ambiguities concerning 'Australianness' prevail, concurrent with progressive and generally politically benign periods of Australian multiculturalism? The thesis argues that sexuality through the construction of the 'good white hetero-patriarchal family' both informed, and enabled, the endurance of anxieties around non-white ethnicity in Australia.

Fragments of the Moon is a novel set mostly in South Korea, examining relationships between people, interpersonal spaces, architectural spaces and landscape through a cross-cultural context. Matt, a graduate architect from Perth, Australia, finds himself increasingly vulnerable to cultural confusion as he adjusts to life away from his home and friends. Having initially assumed that Seoul's western facade echoes its social dynamic, Matt increasingly discovers that the Confucianism which underpins much of contemporary Korean society makes all relationships far more complex than his assumptions had allowed. Together with a Canadian student who is seeking to find the essence of a different Korea through her investigation of Buddhism, and through meeting diverse Korean characters, readers will discover several of the many facets of contemporary Korean culture. Readers will be encouraged to test the slippery surfaces on which familiar and unfamiliar attitudes to bodies, landscape and created spaces rest. 'Body, Space, Ideas of Home: Cross-cultural Perspectives' (thesis) The thesis examines the interaction of body space, architectural space, landscape, and emotional states in contemporary literary fiction from several cultural perspectives. Bodies, landscapes, and architectural spaces are shown to be devices through which contemporary authors with different cultural backgrounds have expressed character and explored ideas, especially thematic concerns related to cultural or cross-cultural confusion or understanding. Notions of 'feeling at home' and 'being alien' are investigated through the work of authors who either have a cross-cultural heritage (e.g. Jhumpa Lahiri a Bengali/American), or who write about a culture which is not their own (e.g. Dianne Highbridge, an Australian writing about Japan). Several chosen authors explore the relationships between the spiritual and the physical, the metaphysical and the corporeal. These elements are particularly highlighted when examining the narratives of Tim Winton (The Riders, 1994) and Simone Lazaroo (The World Waiting To Be Made, 1994); and two of Japan's most popular writers, Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood, 2000) and Banana Yoshimoto (Lizard, 1995). For some writers, this exploration of spaces forms the focal point of their work; for others, it is an important facet of their narrative world, which helps to ground their writing for contemporary readers whose own backgrounds must also influence their understandings.

Since 2001, Australia’s increasingly securitised and exclusionary asylum policy has been legitimated through a damaging discourse surrounding people who seek asylum. This discourse, reinforced by successive Australian Prime Ministers, has been instrumental in shaping policies which have a devastating human impact. While political elites across the West are distancing themselves from a discourse of inclusive multiculturalism, Australia continues to celebrate its multicultural success despite the ongoing tension between a rhetoric of inclusion and one justifying exclusion. Since discourse is both productive and reflective of the social world, shaping discourse can be understood as a means to shape reality. This thesis explores how discourse is constructed and reproduced through framing; a discursive practice that influences how certain issues are understood. The texts analysed are those in which Australian Prime Ministers and senior political figures defend policies of exclusion against people who seek asylum by boat as part of a broader policy vision for a Safe, Secure & Free Australia. In order to contrast the frames, narratives and discourses associated with exclusion, communications promoting the policy vision of an inclusive Multicultural Australia have also been analysed. The frames identified in the material reproduce particular narratives which help to maintain the hegemonic position of discourses which present Australia as a humanitarian, welcoming and inclusive multicultural society and situate people who seek asylum by boat as illegal, seeking an unfair advantage, and as a threat to national security. By identifying frames that consistently appear in the messaging of Australian political elites, we can understand how certain narratives have come to be accepted as truth.

The study sought to uncover the constitution of migrant women's agency as they rebuild their lives in Australia, and to explore how contact with any publicly funded services might influence the capacity to be self determining subjects. The thesis used a framework of lifeworld theories (Bourdieu, Schutz, Giddens), materialist, trans-national feminist and post colonial writings, and a methodological approach based on critical hermeneutics (Ricoeur), feminist standpoint and decolonising theories. Thirty in depth interviews were carried out with 6 women migrating from each of 5 regions: Vietnam, Lebanon, the Horn of Africa, the former Soviet Union and the Philippines. Australian based immigration literature constituted the third corner of triangulation. The interviews were carried out through an exploration of themes format, eliciting data about the different ontological and epistemological assumptions of the cultures of origin. The findings revealed not only the women's remarkable tenacity and resilience as creative agents, but also the indispensability of Australia's publicly funded infrastructure or welfare state. The women were mostly privileged in terms of class, education and affirming relationships with males. Nevertheless, their self determination depended on contact with universal public policies, programs and with local community services. The welfare state seems to be modernity's means for re-establishing human connectedness that is the crux of the human condition. Connecting with fellow Australians in friendships and neighbourliness was also important in resettlement. Conclusions include a policy discussion in agreement with Australian and international scholars proposing that there is no alternative but for governments to invest in a welfare state for the civil societies and knowledge based economies of the 21st Century.

Plus de 200 ans après sa création, l'Australie est toujours à la recherche d'elle-même. La cuisine a depuis longtemps participé à la création de l'identité. Ce travail apprécie donc la contribution de cette dernière à la construction de l'identité nationale, et notamment du multiculturalisme australien. Dans une première partie, les concepts d'identité, d'authenticité, d'ethnicité, de multiculturalisme, d'hybridité, d'aversion et d'obésité sont exposés. Dans une seconde partie, différentes enquêtes épidémiologiques déjà publiées sur le sujet, ainsi que les enquêtes menées par l'auteur sont exposées. Dans la troisième partie, l'auteur discute des différentes thèses sur l'identité australienne, présente un historique de l'alimentation en Australie, les résultats de ses recherches. Dans la quatrième partie l'auteur apprécie la réelle contribution de la cuisine à la construction identitaire australienne. La place de la cuisine « modern Australian » quoique grandissante est encore marginale, les communautés ethniques continuant de cuisiner selon leurs traditions. Cette recherche interroge donc la dimension multiculturelle de la cuisine australienne : jusqu'à quel point est-elle le reflet, l'expression ou l'horizon d'une identité plurielle qui continue de se chercher et de se confronter aux différents aspects de son histoire ?More than 200 years after white settlement, Australia is still actively engaged in the quest for a national identity. This research reveals the role that cooking and cuisine play in identity construction in Australia and especially multiculturalism. In a first part, the concepts of identity, authenticity, ethnicity as well as hybridity and multiculturalism and their relation to Australian cuisine are studied. Culinary aversion and Australia's obesity issues are also aspects of this research. The representation of food in Australian fiction is also highlighted. In a second part, a statistical analysis is undertaken with regards to an ethnographic survey devised by the author of this thesis as well as a range of reports from the literature. In a third part, the contribution of cooking and food in the development of an Australian identity are analyzed. Though “modern Australian” cuisine is proliferating, it is still at an early stage; ethnic communities continue to cook according to their traditions. This thesis questions the multicultural dimension of Australian foodways. It questions up to what point Australian cuisine is the reflection or the expression of an emerging plural identity in relation to its constant struggle with certain elements of its past

This thesis engages in a critique of the concept of Australian native title law as a 'recognition space'. It doing so, it treats native title law as a form of identity politics, the courts a forum in which claims for the recognition of identity are made. An overview of multicultural theories of recognition exposes what is signified by the use of recognition discourse and situates this rhetoric in political and theoretical context. A critique of native title recognition discourse is then developed by reference to the insights of sociolegal scholarship, critical theory, critical anthropology and legal pluralism. These critiques suggest that legal recognition is affective and effective. This thesis highlights native title law's false assumptions as to cultural coherence and subject stasis by exploring law's demands and indigenous claimant engagement with these demands. In this analysis, law's constitutive effect is emphasized. However, a radical constructivist approach is eschewed, subject engagement explored and agency located in the limits of law's constitutive power. The effects of legal recognition discourse, its productive and enabling aspects, are considered best understood by reference to Butler's notion of provisional 'performativity'. Ultimately, claimant 'victories' of resistance and subversion are considered not insignificant, but are defined as temporary and symbolic by virtue of the structural context in which they occur.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Brian Castro, écrivain australien contemporain d’origine chinoise, auteur de dix romans, a été souvent appréhendé par la critique littéraire par le seul biais de ses origines. La lecture de son oeuvre, pourtant, révèle une esthétique et une puissance poétique qui dépassent largement cette catégorie réductrice.Afin d’établir les contours de cette esthétique, le présent travail s’est intéressé à quatre romans qui synthétisent un travail d’écriture de trente années : Birds of Passage (1989), After China (1992), The Garden Book (2005) et The Bath Fugues (2009). Nous brossons tout d’abord un historique de la littérature australienne et des enjeux sociétaux et culturels qui la sous-tendent pour déterminer quelles stratégies l’auteur met en oeuvre pour affirmer une identité littéraire singulière, ni totalement nationale, multiculturelle, ou (post)moderne.Cette singularité posée, nous avons recours à des outils d’analyse empruntant à divers courants de critique littéraire pour dégager les lignes de force esthétiques de l’oeuvre de Castro. La forme musicale de la fugue est en ce sens une clé d’entrée essentielle en ce qu’elle structure autant qu’elle inspire l’écriture de l’auteur, tant au niveau de la caractérisation, du récit ou encore de la diégèse, donnant ainsi naissance à une prose dont la force créatrice n’a rien à envier à la poésie. Pour le lecteur, le résultat en est une expérience de déstabilisation qui vise à l’amener à se questionner sur la perméabilité et la futilité des préjugés et catégories, qu’ils soient sociétaux, culturels ou littérairesAustralian writer Brian Castro is the author of ten novels, among which Birds of Passage (1989), After China (1992), The Garden Book (2005) and The Bath Fugues (2009) – the four works at the core of the present study. Owing to his Chinese origins and his elaborate style, literary criticism in Australia has labelled him an ethnic writer whose novels are deemed overly – and overtly – complex and opaque.Our thesis aims at establishing why Castro’s works, precisely because of their sophistication, deserve an alternate approach. We start with a historical survey of Australia’s “national” and “multicultural” literature. This will bring to light how Castro, being well aware of his nation’s love for social, cultural and literary categorizations, strives to break free from them.This desire permeates the whole of his literary endeavour, and our analysis borrows from several traditions of literary criticism to determine the characteristics of Castro’s unique aesthetics. To achieve this, the musical form of the fugue is a particularly powerful analytic tool, in that this musical genre allows us to better understand the elaborate mechanisms at work in the way the author approaches, among others, characterization, plot and diegesis.Far from the easy reads that Australia’s literature market promotes, Brian Castro’s unique works of fiction are an invitation to embrace destabilization in order to examine a prose whose poetic force will help the reader liberate themselves from established racial, cultural and literary categories

Cette thèse se propose d'étudier de quelle manière les questions d'identité nationale et de gestion de la diversité culturelle se posent au Canada et en Australie, et comment la politique du multiculturalisme, en tant que réponse philosophique et pragmatique à ces questions, a évolué depuis son adoption dans les années 1970 jusqu'à l'heure actuelle en fonction de l'objectif d'unité de ces deux pays. L'analyse s'appuie sur les différents modèles théoriques proposés par la philosophie politique, sur les projets de société des gouvernements canadiens et australiens qui se sont succédés ainsi que sur divers facteurs contextuels pour souligner les faiblesses et les limites du multiculturalisme, qu'il vise à l'égalité culturelle, à la justice sociale ou encore – plus récemment – à l'élaboration d'une identité nationale distincte associée à la promotion d'une citoyenneté à la fois libérale et républicaine. Ce faisant, le travail met à jour l'un des principaux enjeux des sociétés caractérisées par leur pluralisme, à savoir la difficulté de construire un sentiment d'appartenance commune parmi des groupes possédant chacun une identité spécifique, autrement dit la difficulté de fonder l'unité à partir de la diversité. Dans la mesure où cet objectif reste une priorité des gouvernements canadien et australien, la politique du multiculturalisme ne peut se soustraire aux contraintes qu'il impose et qui en font donc avant tout une politique d'intégrationThis thesis explores some of the issues related to the representations of national identity and the management of cultural diversity in Canada and Australia, and focuses on the evolution of multiculturalism policies from the 1970s up to the present time as a philosophical and pragmatic response to these issues. Drawing on the theoretical models put forward by different political philosophers, on the visions of the successive Canadian and Australian governments and on contextual elements, the analysis points out the weaknesses and limits of multiculturalism – whether it aims at establishing cultural equality, bringing social justice or – more recently – elaborating a specific national identity based on a conception of citizenship which is both liberal and republican. Hence, this work underlines one of the major challenges that pluralistic societies are currently facing, i. E. The difficulty of developing a feeling of belonging among groups which all defend their particular identities – in other words, the difficulty of building unity out of diversity. In so far as this remains a priority of the Canadian and Australian governments, it also defines and frames multiculturalism policies, which can thus be considered as instruments of integration in both countries

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’Australie était fermée à l’Asie, motivée par la peur du "péril jaune" et un sentiment de supériorité raciale ; la majeure partie de sa population venait d’Europe et le pays se plaçait sous la protection britannique pour éviter l’"invasion asiatique". La Seconde Guerre mondiale et le processus de décolonisation bouleversèrent la géopolitique de l’Australie qui prit conscience de l’importance de son voisinage pour sa sécurité et pour sa prospérité. En tant que pays occidental situé au bord de l’Asie, l’Australie devait trouver sa place dans le nouveau contexte et se repenser pour adapter son histoire à sa géographie. C’est ainsi que le gouvernement développa les relations économiques et politiques avec les pays voisins et ouvrit le pays aux Asiatiques. Ce processus d’engagement régional, qui s’intensifia entre 1942 et 2002, allait changer la perception identitaire du pays et de son peupleBefore the Second World War, Australia’s borders were closed to Asia’s peoples and relations with the Asian countries were limited ; this was justified by the nation’s fear of the "yellow peril" and a sense of racial superiority. At that time, the vast majority of Australia’s population originated from Europe and the protection offered by Great Britain in part assisted in the avoidance of an "Asian invasion". World War Two and the process of decolonisation brought about a drastic change in the geopolitics of Australia, and the importance of the Asian region with respect to the nation’s security and prosperity began to be recognised. As a Western country on the fringe of Asia, Australia had to find its place in this new context and to reinvent itself to reconcile its history with its geography. In this respect, the Australian government soon developed economic and political relations with the neighbouring countries and opened immigration channels to people of the Asian region. This process of regional engagement, which intensified between 1942 and 2002, would change the perceived identity perception of the country and of its people

This paper deals with Australian immigration policy, its evolution and current situation. It analyses different waves of immigration to Australia from 1788, describing the first British migration, gold related Chinese migration or 19th century non-british migration. It goes further to explain controversial White Australia Policy including The Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 and core concepts of whiteness and Britishness. The post-war mass immigration program is then described in detail and its relation to shift away from White Australia is shown. The objective of keeping Australia white and British was substantially modified through the 1950s and 1960s. It was Prime Minister Gough Whitlam who officialy ended the White Australia Policy in 1973 and gave its support to the concept of multiculturalism. Measures of the Fraser, Hawke and Keating governments concerning immigration policy are also treated. The theme of Czechs and Slovaks in Australia is included, emphasizing on personal story of one czech immigrant. As the perception of immigration in Australia evolved from assimilation to multicultural society, the Australian approach to multiculturalism is covered in the next part of the thesis. Critical views on multiculturalism are decribed as well as the rise of Pauline Hanson's One Nation in 1990s or the topic of Australian Muslims. Changes in immigration policy under the Howard government and possible directions of new Labor government are outlined in the next chapter, including issues of refugees, current visa system in Australia or public attitudes towards immigrants.

This thesis explores the desirability of Australia???s State museums to be inclusive of diverse cultures. In keeping with a cultural studies approach, and a commitment to social action, emphasis is placed upon enhancing the ability of State museums to fulfil obligations and expectations imposed upon them as modern collecting institutions in a culturally diverse nation. By relating the desirability and ability of State museums to attaining social justice in a multicultural Australia through broadening the concept of Australia???s heritage, the thesis is firmly situated within post-colonial discourse. The thesis analyses State multicultural, heritage, and museum legislation, in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, with regard to State museums as agents of cultural policy. Results from a survey, Greeks and Museums, conducted amongst Australia???s Greeks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, reveal an anomaly between their museum-going habits and the perception of those habits as expressed by government policies promoting the inclusion of Australians of a non-English speaking background in the nation???s cultural programmes. In exploring the issue of inclusiveness, the thesis highlights the need for cultural institutions to shift the emphasis away from audience development, towards greater audience participation. The thesis outlines an initiative-derived Queensland Model for establishing an inclusive relationship between museums and communities, resulting in permanent, affordable, and authoritative collections, while simultaneously improving the museums??? international reputation and networking capabilities. By using the example of one of the nation???s non-indigenous communities, and drawing upon material obtained through the survey, and a catalogue containing photographs and lists of Greek textile collections found in the Powerhouse Museum (MAAS), Sydney, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Immigration Museum, Melbourne, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, as well as collections owned by private individuals, the thesis focuses on the role played by museums in constructing social cohesion and inclusiveness.

My creative work investigates the negative space, the ‘in between space’ that leads to new knowledge about other artists and other cultures. The fundamental and distinctive elements of Islamic pattern in my paintings in the exhibition Dialogue in Diversity are based on my own experience of misinformation as well as rewarding collaboration within a culturally blended family.This research explores the continuity of the arabesque and polygon. I experiment with the hexagon and its geometric shapes, with its many repeat patterns and the interrelatedness of the negative space, or the void indicative of the space between layers of past and present civilizations that are significant fundamentals in my paintings.The thesis Transforming perceptions of Islamic culture in Australia through collaboration in contemporary art traces the visual history of Orientalist art, beginning with a key image of Arthur Streeton, Fatima Habiba, painted in 1897 and contrasts Streeton’s perception with that of important Islamic women artists working globally such as Emily Jacir who participated in the Zones of Contact 2006 Biennale of Sydney.A core element of my research is working with emerging artists from Islamic backgrounds in Western Sydney. The February 2007 exhibition Transforming Perceptions Via . . . at the University of Wollongong brought together artists from east and west.By adopting the Islamic pattern in my paintings, I hope to strengthen the interaction between the Christian and Muslim interface in Australian contemporary society. My work contemplates the human aspects of relationships and responsibilities within the cross cultural spectrum.

Au Canada, aux États-Unis, et en Australie, pays à forte majorité anglophone, nous assistons à l'éveil des minorités culturelles et linguistiques. Dans une civilisation qui a atteint un niveau de « communicabilité » maximale transcendant les frontières physiques se créent d'invisibles frontières culturelles linguistiques qui redessinent des communautés infiniment plus subtiles. La vaste majorité de ce qui s'écrit, de ce qui se communique internationalement l'est en anglais, pourtant des groupes de pressions s'inquiètent de sa survie. Après un compte-rendu des concepts relatifs au plurilinguisme et au multiculturalisme, le cadre méthodologique de cette recherche sera abordé ainsi que les différentes typologies concernant les politiques linguistiques et leur corrélation avec le multiculturalisme. La deuxième partie décrit les politiques situations plurilingues et multiculturelles ces trois pays d'immigration récente, ayant l'anglais comme langue officielle, ont eu trois manières tout à fait différentes d'aborder la question de la langue et de la culture, deux thèmes qui demeurent fondamentaux dans leur vie quotidienne, politique, économique ou sociale. La troisième partie est une conséquence des deux précédentes et s'attache au phénomène du multiculturalisme et de son corollaire contemporain, la « correction politique ». Dans ces trois pays, les immigrants sont en mesure de revendiquer un droit à conserver la langue et la culture de leur pays d'origine dans leur nouvel environnement pour faire face aux dangers que représente pour eux l'assimilation. Ceci est un phénomène tout à fait nouveau et contemporain et donne naissance à une nouvelle catégorie de minorités qui fondent leur légitimité non plus sur un lien historique avec le territoire sur lequel elles vivent désormais, mais sur « un droit extraterritorial à la préservation de l'identité culturelle », affectant ce faisant les droits spécifiques des indigènes. De plus les bouleversements économiques et politiques ont particulièrement affecté ces trois états et les obligent à considérer leur relations traditionnelles et les remplacer celles-ci par de nouveaux liens avec des blocs économiques qui émergent. La sociolinguistique, nouvellement venue dans les sciences humaines, permettait de traverser les disciplines et de rendre compte du phénomène dans sa globalitéIn Canada, Australia and the USA, three largely Anglophone countries, we witness the awakening of cultural and minority languages. In a civilization which has reached a maximum level of “communicability” transcending the physical borders, some invisible cultural and linguistic ones are re-designing infinitely more subtle communities. The large majority of all what is written in English as well as what is internationally communicated, however, some lobbies are fearing for its survival. After a description of concepts related to plurilingualism and multiculturalism, the methodological frame of this research will be tackled as well as the different typologies of linguistic policies and their connections with multiculturalism. The second part describes the plurilingual and multicultural policies of these three countries of recent immigrated population, which have English as their official language and have had three different ways of tackling the question of language and culture, two fundamental references in their daily political, economic and social life. The third part is a consequence of the two previous ones and describes the phenomenon of multiculturalism and its contemporary consequence, the “political correctness”. In these three countries, the immigrants have been able to assert a right to maintain to language and culture of their country of origin in their new environment in order to face the dangers represented in their view by assimilation. This is a very new and contemporary phenomenon which gives birth to a new category of minorities which do not assert their legitimacy on historical links with their new territory, but on an “extraterritorial right to the preservation of the cultural identity”, thus affecting the specific rights of indigenous peoples. Furthermore, the economic and political changes have particularly affected these three states and forced them to reconsider their traditional alliances and replace them with new ties with the emerging economic blocks. Sociolinguistics, a newcomer in the human sciences, allowed to cut across the disciplines and describe the phenomenon in its globality

In this paper I argue that in a mediatized Australia, where media are increasingly constructing society and culture as a whole, racializing frames used by Melbourne newspapers The Age and Herald Sun during a two-month period in 2018 contribute to the continued ‘othering’ of the ‘highly visible’ Sudanese-Australian and Sudanese refugee communities, and the erosion of the policy, and lived reality, of multiculturalism in Australia. Building upon the existing extensive body of research about the representation of refugee groups in Australian media, I use media framing theory to inform my analysis. In order to understand what media frames the Melbourne print media constructed around the ‘African gang crisis’ in 2018 I chose to conduct a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the types of sources used, and the quotes referenced, within the news articles. The analysis shows that ‘the media’ cannot be treated as one homogenous ‘sense-making’ group, as latent patterns of dominating source types as used by each newspaper point to specific ‘newsroom frames’ for each outlet. These ‘newsroom frames’ should be taken into account when exploring the media frames and, specifically, the role of racializing frames, in understanding the ‘othering’ of black Sudanese people in Australia in relation to the country’s ‘white majority’. Only with this understanding can we begin to dismantle the lingering impact of the country’s ‘White Australia Policy’ past and make multiculturalism the solid foundation of Australia’s future.

This doctoral dissertation seeks to investigate the reasons that lay behind the rise, success and
decline of the Italian-run migrant workers� organisation FILEF during the 1970s in
Melbourne by reviewing and discussing some significant historical events. It does so in light of the existing literature, archival data and a string of oral accounts gathered from former and current key FILEF members and collaborators. It is hereby offering a better understanding of an otherwise poorly researched area of the Italian-Australian left-wing grassroots organisations in post-war Australia. The thesis has been divided into two parts, including introduction and conclusion. Part One (Chapters 1-5) reviews the historical and political background (in both Italy and Australia) that favoured the establishment of FILEF in Australia, including Melbourne, in the early 1970s; Part Two (Chapters 6-9) presents an
analysis of the historical development and socio-political role of FILEF Melbourne between 1972 and 1980.
Chapter One reviews the theoretical context, the representation of the history of FILEF in
previous publications, primary and secondary sources, the research strategy and methodology. Chapters Two and Three anchor the history of FILEF Melbourne to their respective background in Italy and Australia. That is, Chapter Two examines the post-war Italian emigration and its politicising by the Italian Left; Chapter Three focuses on the postwar emigration of Italians to Australia and outlines a profile of the Italian-Australian community. Chapter Four maps the route of the Italian-Australian Left in the 1950s and 1960s, that is from Italia Libera to the Lega Italo-Australiana. Chapter Five reviews the circumstances that led the establishment of the PCI in Australia respectively.
Chapter Six examines the origins and grassroots activism of FILEF in Melbourne in the 1970s, especially by looking at three areas of activity: migrant press, migrant welfare and
migrant politics. Chapter Seven researches the vulnerability of FILEF to the pressures of
conservative quarters by recounting the �Italian communist move in� (1975) and the federal
funding cut (1976) episodes. Chapter Eight, thoroughly revisits the Salemi case (1977), while
Chapter Nine explores the effects of the case and Salemi�s deportation on FILEF towards the
end of the 1970s.

La Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration n'a longtemps été qu'une idée pensée par le monde associatif et les chercheurs, qui désiraient qu'il y ait en France un lieu dédié à la mémoire de l'immigration. C'est au milieu des années 80 qu'émerge pour la première fois l'idée de créer un musée consacré à l'histoire de l'immigration, période qui se situe à l'intersection de l'ouverture à New York d' Ellis Island et en France dans le milieu académique, des premières thèses sur l'histoire de l'immigration. En 2007, la CNHI ouvre ses portes, et cette institution rompt avec la tradition du musée puisque d'une part, elle n'avait pas de collection et qu'elle a construit son patrimoine grâce à la société civile. D'autre part, c'est aussi un musée d'histoire et de société qui fait partie du label des Musées de France. Cette reconnaissance en tant que musée de France marque l'immigration comme faisant partie du patrimoine de la Nation, puisque tout ce que le musée acquiert entre dans les collections nationales. Notre étude se focalise sur la muséographie de l'immigration et l'évolution des croyances sur l'immigration, en interrogeant la réception des représentations de l'immigration à travers les expositions sur l'immigration en France et en Australie. En effet, l'Immigration Museum de Melbourne en Australie a ouverts ses portes au public en novembre 1998. Comme le musée parisien, il a été mis en place dans une volonté politique de créer un lieu fédérateur des cultures immigrantes d'Australie. Longtemps gouvernée par la While Policy, une politique d'immigration basée sur des critères raciaux, l'Australie ne reconnaît les différences ethniques qu'en 1973 suite à l'adoption d'une politique multiculturaliste par le Labour Party arrivé au pouvoir. Le musée de l'immigration à Melbourne devient un lieu symbolique où chaque Australien peut partager son histoire et faire des recherches généalogiques. Plus de dix ans après, ce musée connaît un grand succès dans l'un des Etats les plus multiculturels d'Australie. Notre recherche compare la réception des objets exposés sous le thème de l'immigration en France et en Australie afin de questionner les enjeux de la muséographie de l'immigration et de contribuer à mieux connaître les publics des musées d'immigrationThe National Center for the History of Immigration (CNHI) was for a long time just an idea for civil society and academic researchers, both of whom wished a site dedicated to the memory of immigration in France. In the mid-eighties, the idea to create a space devoted to the history of immigration come clearly out of the shade for the first time, in the interim period between the opening of Ellis Island in New York and the first thesis about French History of Immigration. On October 10, 2007, the CNHI opened its doors, in Paris, and this national cultural institution breaks with previous tradition of the museum as firstly, it had no collection and secondly, the common cultural heritage is built with the help of donors and civil society. It is also a museum society and a museum of history that has the Ministry of Culture and Communication « Museum of France » label. The recognition of the CNHI as a French museum means that immigration is now part of French heritage since all that was acquired by the museum thus become part of national collections. The CNHI was created by the two overarching themes of tradition and innovation : as a National Museum that seizes upon a complex social and historical phenomenon : immigration. My research combines both conceptions of museography and the evolution of ideas by investigating exhibits' audience reception in France and Australia. Immigration Museum in Melbourne opened in 1998 by the political will to create a unifying place to culturally of race, it was not until 1973 that policy of multiculturalism openly promoting diversity is established in Australia. The State of Victoria created a space where people could share their story and provide guidance in genealogical research. More than ten years after, the museum is especially popular in one of the most multicultural State of Australia, State of Victoria. My research contributed to improve the knowledge on issues about musealizing immigration, by studying the impact of the display of immigration on the audience

Since at least the 1970s Australia has, as a nation, officially declared itself to be ‘multicultural’ and has adopted ‘multiculturalism’ as the approach to its increasingly culturally diverse population. Since then, multiculturalism in Australia, as elsewhere in the western world, has come under sustained critique by both those who think it has ‘gone too far’, and those who think it has ‘not gone far enough’. These critiques have left many wondering whether multiculturalism is still an appropriate and valuable response to cultural diversity for both governments/the state and the populations who contend with cultural diversity as part of their everyday lives. This study attempts to move beyond these critiques and proposes a local place-bound study as one way in which we might further our understandings of multiculturalism in the Australian context and capture some of the complexities elided by these nonetheless useful critiques. The study draws on both textual and ethnographic research material, and employs discursive and deconstructive techniques of analysis to achieve this. The population of the regional centre of Griffith in the Riverina region of New South Wales is culturally diverse. Griffith is located within Wiradjuri country and became home to large numbers of non-Indigenous people after the establishment of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme in the 1910s. It continues to be a destination of choice for immigrants, largely because of the availability of work, particularly in agricultural and related industries. The study reveals that in Griffith multiculturalism is generated, negotiated and performed at the local level, in and through the everyday lives of local people, as much as it is through government intervention. It is part of the lived experience of people in culturally diverse Griffith. The kind of multiculturalism they live can be seen to be positive, pervasive and dynamic and it is something that is deemed to be of great value. They have embraced the idea of multiculturalism and of their community as multicultural to the extent that it is an important part of how they see themselves. While Australian Federal Government conceptions of multiculturalism clearly inform local discourses, with all the limitations this can bring, the conservative understandings articulated federally are made redundant by local manifestations of multiculturalism in Griffith, where there is a desire to both foster and further multiculturalism. The case of Griffith suggests that there is hope for multiculturalism and that multiculturalism can still inform an ethical mode of engagement for people from diverse cultural and ethnic traditions. Australia, however, also has an Indigenous past and present and this continues to pose the ultimate challenge to and for multiculturalism, including in Griffith.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The aim of this study is to carry out a qualitative investigation of the experience of cultural interaction from the perspective of members of the mainstream group in Australia. Memoir methodology is adopted as the means of gaining an in-depth understanding of individual respondents' experience of cultural interaction and their attitudes towards cultural pluralism. The memoirs are analysed in relation to two questions, relating to the writers' experience of cultural interaction and their attitudes to cultural pluralism.

In the past few years, many people with an Islamic background have settled in Australia. Within the health care context, this means that health care providers must modify the care provided to ensure it meets the needs of this culturally diverse population. Little nursing research has focused on understanding the perceptions and experiences of Muslim people within health care systems, particularly in Australia. This study provided an opportunity to explore, and document the experience of the hospitalisation for Islamic people and thereby advance the available information upon which important nursing care decisions that relate to this group can be more informatively made. This study aims to explore and interpret the lived experience of thirteen Muslim patients who had been hospitalised in an Australian hospital. The hermeneutic phenomenology of Heidegger (1967/1996), the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer (1989), and the ideas of van Manen (1990/1996) underpin this study. The meaning and understanding of the everyday experience of Muslim patient in a non-Islamic hospital is achieved through interpretation of the participants’ stories. Data were generated using unstructured audio-taped interviews from participants. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed, then interpreted using phenomenological methods. The two themes to emerge from the participants’ experiences are: Being-thrown-into-an-un-everyday-world and living-Islam-in-the-un-everyday-world. The theme of Being-thrown-into-an-un-everyday-world arose from the sub-themes of the awareness of self and Being an outsider. The theme living-Islam-in-the-un-everyday-world was drawn from the three sub-themes of Being the same and different, hindrances to being Muslim, and adapting-to-the-un-everyday-world. The findings of this study provide an insight into the experience of Muslims being cared for in Australian hospitals. It is hoped that this interpretation will make a significant contribution to the care of Muslim patients by having health professionals consider how this group could be cared for in a culturally sensitive manner. It is not intended as a prescription for care but draws the reader to reflect on aspects of the Muslim faith and how this may impact on individuals experience when in hospital. The scope of this study and the dearth of available research in this area conclude that much more research needs to be undertaken.http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1317115

This thesis is about the ontology and epistemology of foreignness. With other issues,it developed through a series of conversations on foreignness with Australian and international writers and intellectuals, and a subsequent series of radio essays and conversations based on some of the dialogues. A critical framework is developed which examines the relationships between foreignness, cultural identity and the practice of writing through a series of dialogues. The author's analysis involves exploring how the conversations 'speak' the personal and political experiences of living and writing as a foreigner. The interest lies in the various ways narrating one's life touches on certain elements in the aesthetics and politics of writing.The politics of experience and aesthethic production intertwine throughout the conversations and in the production of the text. As the thesis is dialogic in character, the reader can choose to work through the thesis in a linear fashion or to begin at any part. In this sense, the work is divided into three interrelated parts which can be read as different translations of each other. In the last part, in CD format, the author discusses and includes as a postscript to the research, the radio essays and dialogues based on conversations. It is suggested how these radio conversations enact a different way of speaking and writing about foreignness, and explore the on-going relationships between dialogue, translation and a critical imagination.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The text deals with the issue of changes in immigration and integration policies of the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia during last twenty years. At first, it summarizes the theoretical opinions on immigration, integration, multiculturalism and pluralism and makes that so from the point of view of liberalism and communitarianism. Then it focuses on the development of immigration and integration policies in each country in given time period and especially on their qualitative change. Attention is paid to their key principles, legal basis and real practice. Finally, these three approaches are mutually compared and there are outlined their future perspectives.
