What leads them to leave one diasporic location for another location? In this sense they are also ‘twice-migrants’. Here I investigate the extent and nature of the transnational movement of diasporic Hindus and Sikhs crossing borders into the U.S. and Australia – the new dharmic sites – and how they have tackled the question of the transmission of their respective dharmas within their own communities, particularly to the younger generation. Two case studies will be presented: one from Hindus and Sikhs in Australia; the other from California (temples and gurdwaras in Silicon Valley and Bay Area). Keywords: Indian diaspora, Hindus, Sikhs, Australia, India, Transnationalism, Diaspoetics, Adaptation, Globalization, Hybridity, Deterritorialization, Appadurai, Bhabha, Mishra Part I In keeping with the theme of Experimental Dharmas this article maps the contours of dharma as it crosses borders and distant seas: what happens to dharma and the dharmic experience in the new 'experiments of life' a migrant community might choose to or be forced to undertake? One wishes to ask and develop a hermeneutic for how the dharma traditions are reconfigured, hybridized and developed to cope and deal with the changed context, circumstances and ambience.

  • Italians in Australia: Migration and Profile
    26 gennaio-giugno 2003 Italians in Australia: Migration and Profile Francesco Cavallaro School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Nanyang Technological University, Singapore This article gives a detailed analysis and breakdown of the Italian community in Australia, its immigration pattern and phases, and its demographic and socio-economic make-up. Where relevant, comparisons are made with other immigrant minority groups in Australia. Italian immigration to Australia The initial type of immigration of Italians to Australia has been described as «drop» migration (Gentilli, 1983, p. 10). This describes the pattern where individual migrants moved to another country either alone or with very few companions. This was the norm in the last century and the beginning of this one. Later on, as soon as sizeable groups established themselves in Australia, Italians adopted a «chain» type of immigration (Tosi, 1984, p. 51; Gentilli, 1983). This term is used to describe the migration pattern when a family or an individual, after having settled down in Australia, then sponsors the migration of other members of its family or of people from the same town, who in turn are provided with an efficient means of finding help and a welcome abroad. These migration chains have been functioning since the turn of the century and have actually kept functioning across successive generations, and, thanks to the «Family Reunion» immigration policy of today, to a certain degree they are still functioning today. This form of migration favoured the formation of regional nuclei. Most notable have been the Sicilian groups of Messina in Subiaco (Western Australia), of Naso in Fremantle (Western Australia), and the group from Vizzini in Carlton and the Sicilians in Brunswick, both inner Melbourne suburbs (Victoria); the group from Casilonia and Caulonia in Adelaide (Southern Australia); and the Sicilians and Venetians of Leichhardt an inner suburb of Sydney (New South Wales) (Bertelli, 1986, 1987, p.

Cappiello’s novel is now the second most-published work by a first generation Italian-Australian writer after Raffaello Carboni’s (1855) Eureka Stockade. Although Italians in Australia have been writing about their experiences since the mid 1800s and have produced texts such as those by Salvado (1851), Ercole (1932) and Nibbi (1937), a coherent corpus of Italian-Australian writing has developed only after the post-World War Two migration boom which saw some 360,000 Italian-born migrants entering Australia between 1947 and 1972.

  • Italian and Japanese As Symbols of Cultural Policy Joseph Lo Bianco A
    Lo Bianco, Joseph (2003). Language Education in Australia: Italian and Japanese as symbols of cultural policy. In J. Bourne and E. Reid (eds) Language Education (pp. 171- 187). London: Kogan Page. Language Education in Australia: Italian and Japanese as symbols of cultural policy Joseph Lo Bianco A wide scope In its broadest sense school language education includes a wide scope of activities, policies and experiences. To speak comprehensively of such a wide-ranging field requires attention to at least the following: • the extension of standard English-speaking children's 'home' linguistic repertoire to include literate capability (reading and writing as well as critical and imaginative literacy); • extending the non-standard English of some communities to include spoken and written standard Australian English; • teaching English to non-English speakers (whether of immigrant or indigenous background); • appropriate provision for deaf, blind and other children with language-connected special needs; and • the teaching of languages other than English. Each of these five categories is itself broad and complex, all involving pedagogical specificities and many replete with ideology and interest. For example, the seemingly innocuous classification of 'languages other than English' is invested with contested issues, variable meanings, divergent ideologies and dynamic practices. The wide range of language classifications also suggests major policy shifts over time. Each of the categories contains a history: the state of knowledge at a given point in time, and prevailing views about the transmission of culture and about whether education reflects social arrangements or is part of policy intervention to change them. In the Australian case public policy on languages other than English has been a prominent instrument for nation making, seeking at different times to support official multiculturalism and to advance the nation's accommodation to its Asian geography.

  • Australians in Italy: Contemporary Lives and Impressions, Monash University Epress, Clayton, 2008
    Eras Edition 10, November 2008 – http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/publications/eras Bill Kent, Ros Pesman, Cynthia Troup (eds), Australians in Italy: Contemporary Lives and Impressions, Monash University ePress, Clayton, 2008. ISBN 97809980361681 The result of a symposium at Monash University’s Prato Centre in 2005, Australians in Italy is a collection of both scholarly articles and personal reflections on what its editors term the ‘Australian love affair with Italy’. Building on previous work by Gaetano Prampolini and Marie-Christine Hubert on Australian writers, artists and travellers in Tuscany, this collection widens its scope to include the whole of Italy and aims to bring current scholarship on the Australian presence in Italy up-to-date. Editors Bill Kent, Ros Pesman and Cynthia Troup have sourced contributions from a wide range of individuals including academics, artists, Australian-Italians (or Italian-Australians), members of the Roman Catholic clergy, journalists, and writers. Most, if not all of these contributors, it should be noted, are distinguished figures in their respective fields. The ex-ambassador to Italy, Rory Steele, for example, provides an overview of diplomatic relations between Australia and Italy, and Whitbread winner Peter Porter regales us with a selection of his poems that have been inspired by his travels to Italy. In short, there is no disputing the quality of the contributions in Australians in Italy, and indeed, it is a comprehensive and much-needed collection that addresses the surprising gap in studies about the relationship between Australia and Italy. That there has been so little literature produced on Australians travelling, or living, in Italy is surprising, given the increasing numbers that Cathy Crupi provides in her short survey of statistics for Australians travelling overseas and to Italy in particular.
