  • Agency and Exchange: an Ethnography of a Heroin Marketplace
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin Faculty of Health Sciences National Drug Research Institute Agency and exchange: an ethnography of a heroin marketplace Robyn Dwyer This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology May 2009 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... Abstract This thesis is concerned with the exchange of heroin in localised, street-based marketplaces. Commercial exchange of heroin in such sites has been a characteristic of the Australian heroin scene since the early 1990s. Although some qualitative investigations have been undertaken, the dominant approach to understanding these sites in Australia has been quantitative (primarily epidemiological and criminological). These efforts largely adopt a narrow and under-developed conception of ‘markets’ and much of this work adopts a narrow and circumscribed conception of the subjects who act within these sites. In contrast, this thesis is positioned within a long tradition of ethnographic accounts of drug users as active agents and of drug markets as embedded in particular social, cultural and economic contexts. In this thesis, I explore two related questions: 1) what are the social relations and processes constituting street-based drug markets, and 2) how do participants in these street-based drug markets express agency, given that, in public and research discourses, they are often understood and depicted either as lacking agency or as expressing agency only through profit-seeking, criminality or both.

  • A Study on Islamic Human Figure Representation in Light of a Dancing Scene
    Hanaa M. Adly A Study on Islamic Human Figure Representation in Light of a Dancing Scene Islamic decoration does indeed know human figures. This is a controversial subject1, as many Muslims believe that there can be no figural art in an Islamic context, basing their beliefs on the Hadith. While figural forms are rare in Muslim religious buildings, in much of the medieval Islamic world, figural art was not only tolerated but also encouraged.2 1 Richard Ettinghausen, ‘Islamic Art',’ The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, (1973) xxxiii , 2‐52, Nabil F. Safwat, ‘Reviews of Terry Allen: Five Essays on Islamic Art,’ ix. 131, Sebastopol, CA, 1988, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies (BSOAS), (London: University of London, 1990), liii . 134‐135 [no. 1]. 2 James Allan, ‘Metalwork Treasures from the Islamic Courts,’ National Council for Culture, Art and Heritage, 2004, 1. 1 The aim of this research is to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding figurative art. This research draws attention to the popularization of the human figures and their use in Islamic art as a means of documenting cultural histories within Muslim communities and societies. Drinking, dancing and making music, as well as pastimes like shooting fowl and chasing game, constitute themes in Islamic figurative representations.3 Out of a number of dancing scenes. in particular, I have selected two examples from the Seljuqs of Iran and Anatolia in the 12th‐13th. centuries.4 One scene occurs on a ceramic jar (Pl. 1) and the other on a metal candlestick (Pl. 2).5 Both examples offer an excellent account of the artistic tradition of the Iranian people, who since antiquity have played an important role in the evolution of the arts and crafts of the Near East.6 The founder of the Seljuq dynasty, Tughril, took the title of Sultan in Nishapur in 1037 when he occupied Khurasan and the whole of Persia.

  • Central Asia-Geopolitical Impact on Art, Culture and Literature
    JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 2: JUNE 2021 Central Asia-Geopolitical impact on Art, Culture and Literature By Ms. Mousumee Baruah [email protected] Abstract The United Socialist Soviet Republic was once made up of fifteen strong republics Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. And the superpower unfortunately bogged down in the cold war, disintegrated, and ultimately experienced dissolution in 1991. The Collapse of the Soviet Union witnessed the birth and rise of few countries which were once part of erstwhile Soviet Russia. Though part of the Soviet republic, they have their distinctive culture and identity. And to preserve their heritage, they demanded a separate identity fuelled by the cold war. History has proven that every volatile region geographically or politically has its own distinctive cultural identity. So can Central Asia be far behind? Keywords Central Asia, Persian, art, culture, Silk Road Central Asia-Geopolitical impact on Art, Culture and Literature Central Asia is a region in Asia that extends from the Caspian Sea in the West to China and Mongolia in the east, Afghanistan, and Iran in the South to Russia in the north.
