Race, Photographs and Cathy Freeman at the Northcote Koori Mural

Journal of Australian Studies, 43 (2). pp. 203-217. ISSN 1444-3058 The publisher’s official version can be found at https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14443058.2019.1581247 Note that access to this version may require subscription. Downloaded from VU Research Repository https://vuir.vu.edu.au/39123/ A Forgotten Picture: Race, Photographs, and Cathy Freeman at the Northcote Koori Mural Visual images have played a key role in the history of Australia’s troubled race relations. As Jane Lydon has detailed, images of Aboriginal Australians and Torres Straight Islanders have been not only a key route by which non-Indigenous Australians have come to believe they know Indigenous Australians, but also a powerful site of intervention, protest and resistance by Indigenous Australians.1 The power of these images as a site of engagement, negotiation and struggle has depended on their circulation and reproduction – images typically need to be seen, often over and over again, in order to have a significant impact. It is a simple point, but one that is often taken for granted in the study of photographs and other visual images. It leads to the question of why certain images have become renowned, celebrated or decried, while others that appear equally (or more) deserving have not. This paper is concerned with one such image – of Australian athlete Cathy Freeman – that seems to have had little impact and was quickly forgotten, despite appearing on the front page of Melbourne’s most-read newspaper, the tabloid Herald Sun, in 1994, a time of intense debate around Australia’s race- relations. -

My wife and I are as open and honest with them as possible. But there’s one question I’m not prepared to answer: “Why aren’t Clare and Lesa married?” “I don’t know how to explain to them what “inferior” means or why their country treats our friends as such.” “…Sometimes, people ask me what any of this has to do with football. Some think football players like me should just keep our mouths shut and focus on the game. But we’re people first, and football players a distant second. -

Introduction A major characteristic of Rugby Union is frequent bodily collisions between two or more players. These physical collisions are generally referred to as the tackle (Hendricks & Lambert, 2010; Gabbett & Ryan, 2009; Gabbett & Kelly, 2007).The tackle contest can be identified when an opposing player, not in possession of the ball (tackler), contacts a player in possession of the ball (ball-carrier) in an attempt to prevent further progression of the ball towards the tackler’s try-line. The tackle places a range of physiological, and to an extent, psychological demands on players (Takarada, 2003; Deutsch, Kearney, & Rehrer, 2007; Passos et al., 2009; Passos et al., 2008; Brault, Bideau, Craig, & Kulpa, 2010; Passos, Araujo, Davids, & Shuttleworth, 2011). Players’ are expected to meet these demands on average about 10 to 25 times per a match depending on playing position (Deutsch et al., 2007; Quarrie & Hopkins, 2008). -
Platformed Racism: the Adam Goodes War Dance and Booing Controversy on Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook

Platforms have altered how people search, find, and share information, and how social interactions take place online. This new era of user practices, micro-communication cultures, and an increasing algorithmic shaping of sociability, opens up new research endeavours to understand communication as a cultural practice. While platforms are reluctant to acknowledge that they work as media companies, and present themselves as being ‘neutral’, they intervene in public discourse through their design, policies, and corporate decisions. This intervention is increasingly under public scrutiny at a time when racist and sexist speech is thriving online. The entanglement between user practices and platforms in the reinforcement of racism is the focus of my research. Specifically, I argue that this entanglement -

The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people. -
Aboriginal Rules: the Black History of Australian Football Abstract
Original Articles Aboriginal Rules: The Black History of Australian Football Full access ArticleDoiMeta DOI:10.1080/09523367.2015.1124861 Sean Gormana*, Barry Juddb, Keir Reevesc, Gary Osmondd, Matthew Klugmane & Gavan McCarthyf Abstract This paper is interested in the significance of Australian football to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. In particular, this paper is interested in the cultural power of football and how it has foregrounded the struggle and highlighted the contribution that Indigenous people have made to the national football code of Australia. This paper also discusses key moments in Indigenous football history in Australia. It questions further that a greater understanding of this contribution needs to be more fully explored from a national perspective in order to appreciate Indigenous peoples’ contribution to the sport not just in elite competitions but also at a community and grass roots level. Introduction What may have begun as a simple forgetting of other possible views turned under habit and over time into something like a cult of forgetfulness practised on a national scale. W.E.H. Stanner 1968.1 Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer is regarded as one of the best exponents of Australian Rules football. This was due to his abilities and innovative play that reshaped the game. Specifically, his agility and his long, quick handballs became great attacking manoeuvres that complemented Geelong’s potent midfield.2 Yet there is a distinct aspect to Farmer’s story that many historians and sports journalists do not know about, have forgotten or simply ignore. That is Farmer may never have had this illustrious career, if not for a vital change in Western Australia’s labour policies in 1952.
