However, these successes have largely failed to translate into Indigenous health outcomes. Given the continued dominance of a colonial imagination, little research exists that values Indigenous perspectives, knowledges and practice in health promotion. This thesis contributes to addressing this knowledge gap. An ethnographic study of health promotion practice was undertaken within an Indigenous-led health promotion team, to learn how practitioners negotiated tensions of daily practice.

  • 1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania It Is 1968, Rural Western Austra
    1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania Abstract: In two Australian coming-of-age feature films, Australian Rules and September, the central young characters hold idyllic notions about friendship and equality that prove to be the keys to transformative on- screen behaviours. Intimate intersubjectivity, deployed in the close relationships between the indigenous and nonindigenous protagonists, generates multiple questions about the value of normalised adult interculturalism. I suggest that the most pointed significance of these films lies in the compromises that the young adults make. As they reach the inevitable moral crisis that awaits them on the cusp of adulthood, despite pressures to abandon their childhood friendships they instead sustain their utopian (golden) visions of the future. It is 1968, rural Western Australia. As we glide along an undulating bitumen road up ahead we see, from a low camera angle, a school bus moving smoothly along the same route. Periodically a smattering of roadside trees filters the sunlight, but for the most part open fields of wheat flank the roadsides and stretch out to the horizon, presenting a grand and golden vista. As we reach the bus, music that has hitherto been a quiet accompaniment swells and in the next moment we are inside the vehicle with a fair-haired teenager. The handsome lad, dressed in a yellow school uniform, is drawing a picture of a boxer in a sketchpad. Another cut takes us back outside again, to an equally magnificent view from the front of the bus. This mesmerising piece of cinema—the opening of September (Peter Carstairs, 2007)— affords a viewer an experience of tranquillity and promise, and is homage to the notion of a golden age of youth.

  • Australian Nationalism and Historical Memory
    UCLA UCLA Historical Journal Title An Ambivalent Nation: Australian Nationalism and Historical Memory Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4dd790wr Journal UCLA Historical Journal, 23(1) ISSN 0276-864X Author Kelly, Matthew Kraig Publication Date 2012 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California An Ambivalent Nation: Australian Nationalism and Historical Memory Matthew Kelly The most important national holiday in Australia falls on April 25. Known as Anzac Day, it commemorates the Australian and New Zealander soldiers who died in battle at Gallipoli, in western Turkey, in 1915.1 Gallipoli’s central position in Australian national consciousness is not immediately comprehensible to an outside observer. Bastille Day in France or Independence Day in the United States seem sensible choices for the national holiday. In the French case, the storming of the Bastille is a suitable emblem of the transi- tion from the ancien régime to a new political order in which all Frenchmen were to be equals before the law. In the American case, the celebration of independence summons the specter of a national consciousness shaking off the last fetters of British imperial rule and so coming to full bloom. But why should a battlefield located thou- sands of miles from Australia, and from which Australians derived no material benefit, serve, in an important respect, as the geographic center of the Australian national narrative? Which overlords did the Australians overturn at Gallipoli? From whose imperial yoke did they at last work loose? The last two questions are rhetorical, of course, for neither applies to the Australian case.

  • 'Asian Australian' Migrant Identity: Brian Castro's Birds of Passage and After China
    'ASIAN AUSTRALIAN' MIGRANT IDENTITY: BRIAN CASTRO'S BIRDS OF PASSAGE AND AFTER CHINA CATHY BENNETT of Passage 1982 ]BIRDS was one of the firstnovels to discussAfter theChina Asian migrant experience in Australia. It won the Australian/Vogel Literary Award for and began Brian Castro's successful writing career as a novelist. is Castro's fourth novel and most recent work. These two texts address, in part, the position of the Chinese migrant and the position of those considered 'Asian' in Australia. They also displayBirds a offasc Passageination withAft wordplayer China and with the language and debates of literary theory, features which are characteristic of all four of Castro's novels. I contend in this paper that and place the Asian Australian within the context of a global model as a postmodernindividual. I suggest that the cultural crossings frequently made in these texts, and the fact that Asian migrant characters speak in the cosmopolitan, transnational language of the postmodern, are devices which form part of an opposition to national boundaries and national restrictions. Texts which discuss the Asian migrant experienceBirds of Passage, in Australia emphasise the historical connection of the migrant with the Australian landscape and culture. This is illustrated in the double narrative technique of in which the story of a Chinese migrant's experience in the goldfields is set against that of the contemporary urban life of a young man considered 'Asian'. This double narrative has the effect of emphasisingThe Ch inaman, the length of the Chinese presenceChange inof SkiesAustralia.

  • What Killed Australian Cinema & Why Is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving?
    What Killed Australian Cinema & Why is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving? A Thesis Submitted By Jacob Zvi for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Health, Arts & Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne © Jacob Zvi 2019 Swinburne University of Technology All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. II Abstract In 2004, annual Australian viewership of Australian cinema, regularly averaging below 5%, reached an all-time low of 1.3%. Considering Australia ranks among the top nations in both screens and cinema attendance per capita, and that Australians’ biggest cultural consumption is screen products and multi-media equipment, suggests that Australians love cinema, but refrain from watching their own. Why? During its golden period, 1970-1988, Australian cinema was operating under combined private and government investment, and responsible for critical and commercial successes. However, over the past thirty years, 1988-2018, due to the detrimental role of government film agencies played in binding Australian cinema to government funding, Australian films are perceived as under-developed, low budget, and depressing. Out of hundreds of films produced, and investment of billions of dollars, only a dozen managed to recoup their budget. The thesis demonstrates how ‘Australian national cinema’ discourse helped funding bodies consolidate their power. Australian filmmaking is defined by three ongoing and unresolved frictions: one external and two internal. Friction I debates Australian cinema vs. Australian audience, rejecting Australian cinema’s output, resulting in Frictions II and III, which respectively debate two industry questions: what content is produced? arthouse vs.
