  • The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction
    The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction A series of lesson plans on war for Year 9 and 10 students created through a partner- ship between the Medical Association for Prevention of War, its project partner Act for Peace and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria. The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction INTRODUCTION History teachers often struggle with lessons about war. Conflicts have shaped the ancient and modern world and it is important that students are aware of the role of conflicts in the history of civilisation. In addition to developing a world view, teachers hope that understanding the history of war will help future generations learn from the actions of their ancestors. However, many teachers are concerned that unless approached sensitively, the focus on war in the classroom can have the opposite effect, causing students to glorify it. This unique set of resources has been developed from the perspectives of medical practitioners, many of them also war veterans. It helps students focus on the physical and mental costs of war, aspects of conflict often marginalised by larger themes of mateship and national pride. Students will learn about the often silent effects of war: injury, mental illness and disease. ABOUT THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FOR PREVENTION OF WAR The Medical Association for Prevention of War (Australia) is a professional not-for-profit organisation that works to promote peace and disarmament. MAPW aims to reduce the physical and psychological impact, as well as environmental effect, of wars throughout the world. MAPW has branches in every state and territory in Australia. The members of MAPW are mostly medical practitioners who use their understanding of world medical issues in the campaign to prevent war using diplomatic channels rather than armed combat.

  • History of the Art Horses
    05/10/18 CURATOR’S STATEMENT - ART HORSES AUSTRALIA ART HORSES - A Sculpture Exhibition of Painted Horses These Art Horses have their genesis in the phenomena of painted animal-art that has swept the world. It has included exhibitions of artist-designed cows in Zurich, Calgary, Chicago and New York, pigs in Seattle and moose in Toronto. In Australia, the horse was selected for its unique role in our history, from the settlers to the legendary Phar Lap - and, of course, the “race that stops a nation” - the Melbourne Cup. These uniquely painted and designed life-size horse and foal sculptures created by prominent and emerging Victorian artists provide an unprecedented blend of art, imagination and fun. The exhibition combines elements of street theatre and public art and they create a memorable spectacle wherever they ‘graze’! Each horse is brightly and amusingly painted to reveal the individual artist’s distinctive perspective on the tradition of ‘equine art’. They have become synonymous with the famous Spring Racing Carnival over the years. The Art Horses Collection originally included over fifty wonderfully painted horses on many themes, ranging from wild and zany to more classically executed pieces. They have been displayed throughout the City, beginning in 2000, with exhibitions running through 2015. In 2001, a major three week event entitled “Birth of an Art Horse” was staged at the Melbourne Museum, featuring notable artists at work designing and painting them. Art Horses Australia has three simple goals: • to generate artistic creativity & showcase local artists • to bring smiles & chuckles to the faces of children and adults - Melbournians and visitors alike • to raise substantial funds for a nominated charity with a major auction to be held at the conclusion of the exhibition run.

  • Irish Studies in Australia and New Zealand Dianne
    Irish Studies in Australia and New Zealand Dianne Hall (University of Victoria) and Ronan McDonald (University of Melbourne) Internationally, Irish studies tends to thrive where the Irish diaspora settled: Boston, New York, Liverpool, London, Montreal. Yet one could not say that Irish studies in Australia is especially robust, particularly when looked at comparatively.1 We will attempt to answer why that is so in this brief survey, addressing institutional and cultural factors and also the historic relationship between Ireland and Australia, which has produced a strange mix of familiarity and distance between the two countries. While Australia received far fewer Irish migrants than the more proximate Britain and USA, the proportionate Irish influence in Australia is unmatched. In 1901 at the time of the Federation of the separate colonies that made up Australia, one quarter of the white population of 3.8 million were of Irish birth or descent. Among the white European population, the Irish were second only to the English, forming a substantial and important minority.2 Visiting Irish politicians now refer to this by routinely calling Australia the most ‘most Irish country outside of Ireland’. There is, then, great overlap between the story of the global Irish and that of the development of the Australian nation since European settlement. Australia is far from Ireland geographically, but much closer culturally. In Australia the majority of the Catholic settlers were Irish, and the majority of Irish Catholic, arriving into a majority Protestant colony. This was different to Canada, which also attracted a significant proportion of Irish Protestant migrants and had a substantial ethnically French Catholic settler population.

PREFACE Philistines, Anarchists and Luddites have long been considered to be beyond the pale. Recent research has shown that the inhabitants of Philistia – an ancient country on the west coast of the Mediterranean - were much more cultured than the surrounding barbarians that finally overran them. Anarchism is enjoying a revival as a political ideology and a social movement as a consequence of increasing population growth, finite resources and the domination of the planet by an economic system that demands increasing profits, irrespective of the human, social and environmental costs. Only the Luddites continue to shiver outside the tent in a society where it is believed that every problem has a technological solution and the path to human happiness is a life burdened by technological innovation. Ned Ludd’s Diatribes – a collection of essays written by Gerry Harant and used as the basis for an ongoing discussion between Gerry Harant and Dr.
