Secretary A/Prof. Tom Stevenson Prof. Bronwen Neil A/Prof. Gina Salapata School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Department of Ancient History School of Humanities Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts Faculty of Arts University of Queensland Macquarie University Massey University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] www.ascs.org.au From the Editor This is a bumper holiday edition of the Newsletter, because it also includes the full publication list for 2017. The Executive decided that this remains a useful exercise, especially for advocacy for our disciplines. The wealth of scholarship the publications list and the University Reports below reveal is certainly impressive, and to all but confirmed troglodytes, like those recently revealed by the disgraceful government interference in the Australian Research Council grant process (see ASCS response below), should be clear evidence for the vitality of our fields. I know that collating this list puts considerable pressure on the Campus Representatives, and I thank them for their time and diligence. President’s Report Dear Everyone, It’s worth remembering sometimes that there are only 24 hours in a day. Yet somehow our members manage to contribute mightily to ASCS in addition to their day jobs. Well done to the organisers of AMPHORAE 2018 in Auckland and thanks too for all the work that is being done in preparation for ASCS 40 in Armidale next year. On that score the convenors, Bronwyn, Graeme, and Clemens, have already laid impressive groundwork.

Mr. Neskoromnyi, a former SBU colonel, allegedly plotted the assassination with currently serving Col. Yuriy Rasiuk of the SBU’s Alpha anti-terrorist unit. The alleged target was 38-year-old Brig.

Research into the Origin and Spread of Wool Production between the Near East and Central Europe The objective of the research group Textile Revolution is to contribute to research on the still largely unclear introduction of wool production in later Neolithic and Chalcolithic societies from Western Asia to Central Europe. Since direct evidence of wool depends on rare conditions of preservation,a multi-proxy approach based on different kinds of indirect evidence was chosen. The previous history of research on early wool production as well as the domestication history of sheep are reviewed briefly. Anthropogenic impacts on the landscape, possibly related to intensified grazing, are one kind of indirect evidence that we take into account. For the later part of the presumably long-lasting development of wool production, written sources are available, the earliest of which date to the Late Uruk and Jemdet Nasr periods (end of the 4th to beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE) in Mesopotamia.

  • Conceptualizing the Sharing Economy Through Presenting a Comprehensive Framework
    sustainability Article Conceptualizing the Sharing Economy through Presenting a Comprehensive Framework Meisam Ranjbari * ID , Gustavo Morales-Alonso and Ruth Carrasco-Gallego ID Department of Organization Engineering, Business Administration and Statistics, Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, 28006 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (G.M.-A.); [email protected] (R.C.-G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 May 2018; Accepted: 2 July 2018; Published: 5 July 2018 Abstract: In recent years, through the advances in technology and highlighting the sustainability concepts in different aspects of human lives, the sharing economy has become an interesting topic for researchers, and also, many businesses claim to be active in this environment. However, a comprehensive definition, which is generally accepted, does not yet exist in the literature. In this paper, through a systematic literature review, analysis, and coding, a comprehensive definition, and also, an inclusive framework is presented for the sharing economy. This can help scientists and businesses to clarify which companies or parts of their activities fall into the SE category, and which do not. Such clarification in a small scale is done for five companies at the end of the paper. Keywords: sharing economy (SE); sustainability; idle capacity; collaborative consumption; under-utilized assets; online platform; access versus ownership 1. Introduction Sharing economy (SE) as a conceptual term has been in the media for a number of years [1,2]. Many factors, such as the growth of internet applications and smartphones, globalization and urbanization, the global economic crisis, shifts in the general attitudes, and higher attention towards sustainability in consumption, have led to the advent of the sharing economy in recent years [3–6].

  • Returning to Places of Wounded Memory-The Role of World Heritage
    THEME: THE THREATS TO THE SPIRIT OF PLACE “RETURNING TO PLACES OF WOUNDED MEMORY” The Role of World Heritage Sites in Reconciliation ALBERT OGLE Irish School of Ecumenics, Trinity College, Dublin Bea House, Milltown Park Dublin 6, Ireland [email protected] Abstract. This paper explores the emerging role of cultural heritage in community reconciliation, particularly for identity-based conflicts. I utilize theories on the relationship between place, memory, identity and violence and interdisciplinary research focused on Ohrid, Macedonia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) and Ireland. In both countries, heritage and religion have unique roles in identity-based conflicts. I conclude with recommendations as to how UNESCO and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) might encourage the creation of a new growing body of mediation, reconciliation and community transformation specialists who would become partners in the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage. 1. Progression of ICOMOS – from conservation to community reconciliation? The first sentence of the Venice Charter (1964) contains the concept that historic monuments are “imbued with a message from the past” and are “living witnesses” to traditions. Andrzej Tomaszewski (Tomaszewski 2003) reminds us that in the history of the conservation movement, it was only a century ago that Alois Riegl wrote about the concept of a “memorial value”. Fifty years later, Erwin Panofsky is concerned about the interpretation of material works. In this manner, an architectural monument that is the backdrop of an event is a ‘silent witness’ to that happening, and gains a new dimension of ‘memorial values’, becoming a ‘place of memory’. Tomaszewski reminds us how a recent European theory of ‘German Places of Memory’ emphasizes their symbolic function rather than their material objectification.

  • Open Letter from the American Association for Ukrainian Studies Regarding Budget Cuts in Ukraine
    H-Ukraine Open Letter from the American Association for Ukrainian Studies Regarding Budget Cuts in Ukraine Discussion published by John Vsetecka on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 OPEN LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR UKRAINIAN STUDIES REGARDING BUDGET CUTS FOLLOWING THE FORMATION OF THE STABILIZATION FUND TO: President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal Minister of Finance of Ukraine Serhii Marchenko Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba Interim Minister of Culture Svitlana Fomenko OPEN LETTER As American scholars of Ukraine, we appeal to you in defense of Ukrainian cultural and scholarly institutions that are disproportionately threatened by the proposed budget cuts following the formation of the Stabilization Fund. Specializing on Ukraine in subjects ranging from politics, energy and economics to media, literature and history, we intimately understand the dire situation in which Ukraine finds itself following the outbreak of the coronavirus and the rapid economic downfall that it precipitated. At the same time, we appeal to you to review the proposed cuts to the national budget as they will disproportionately affect cultural and scholarly institutions leading to the collapse of their activities in Ukraine and abroad, with devastating consequences for Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against the many global threats it faces today.= As experts who have dedicated our lives to studying Ukraine and Eastern Europe, we emphasize with urgency that culture, education, the arts and sciences are key to the global recognition of a country’s sovereignty. They defend a country against a foreign aggression and mobilize international support in the time of need as effectively as the military defends it on the ground.
