Suas obras, ao mesmo tempo incômodas e sedutoras, mas cheias de familiaridade e doçura, geram uma empatia quase imediata junto ao público. Seu trabalho é realizado com uma grande variedade de materiais e linguagens. Com escul- turas feitas de silicone e fibra de vidro, fotografia e vídeo, passando também pelo desenho e pela pintura, as obras de Piccinini nos convidam a refletir acerca de nossos próprios sentimentos, ampliando a compreensão sobre questões complexas e delicadas como a imposição de padrões de beleza, o racismo e a xenofobia. Com uma curadoria que evidencia certa relação alquímica entre natureza e tecnologia no trabalho da artista, a mostra flerta tanto com o surrealismo como com o hiper-realismo, e questiona nossa semelhança e vínculo com os seres criados por ela. Com esta mostra, reforçamos nossa proposta de promover o acesso à cultura para os visitantes e clientes do BB, e propiciamos novas atitudes em relação à arte, além de manter nosso compromisso com a formação do público e dar sentido para a missão de ser um “banco de mercado com espírito público”. The Ministry of Culture and the Banco do Brasil present “ComCiência—Patricia Piccinini”, the award- winning Australian artist’s first solo exhibition in Brazil. Her works, simultaneously uncomfortable and seductive, imbued with familiarity and sweetness, generate almost immediate public empathy. Her work is produced using a variety of materials and languages. From silicone and fibreglass sculptures to photography and video, as well as drawing and painting, the works invite us to reflect on our feelings, broadening our understanding of complex and sensitive issues such as imposed standards of beauty, racism and xenophobia. With a curatorial project that highlights the alchemical combination of nature and technol- ogy characteristic of the artist’s work, the exhibition flirts with both surrealism and hyperrealism, and questions our similarity to these beings and our connection to them. With this show, we reinforce our objective to promote access to culture for our visitors and BB clients and to support new attitudes toward art, while maintaining our commitment to educating the public and giving concrete meaning to our mission as a “market-oriented bank with a public spirit”.

    Lioi, Anthony. "Icons of Survival: Metahumanism as Planetary Defense." Nerd Ecology: Defending the Earth with Unpopular Culture. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2016. 169–196. Environmental Cultures. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 25 Sep. 2021. <http:// dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474219730.ch-007>.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 6 Icons of Survival: Metahumanism as Planetary Defense In which I argue that superhero comics, the most maligned of nerd genres, theorize the transformation of ethics and politics necessary to the project of planetary defense. The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

    100 Volunteer STORIES www.volunteeringact.org.au © Volunteering ACT Inc 2013. December 2013 Celebrating the contribution of Canberra’s Volunteers Proudly sponsored by Beyond Bank Australia FOREWORD BY MAUREEN CANE Chief Executive Officer of Volunteering ACT Australia’s capital has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often first provided by volunteers. Volunteering is now in Canberra’s DNA, with many of her citizens, young and old and from all walks of life, actively volunteering at any one time. This book tells some of their stories — of care for others, of courage, of generosity and of application of skills and expertise. The stories are a testimony to the excellent work of Canberra’s community-based organisations and to the selfless contribution of individuals towards the general good. One such story, of the generous application of expertise, is from Sarah Wilson, the volunteer who compiled this book for Volunteering ACT! All the stories are a fitting legacy for Canberra’s Centenary year and engender a sure and certain confidence that our Maureen Cane, Volunteering ACT CEO future is in good hands. AUSTRALIA’S CAPITAL has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often firstprovided by volunteers. FOREWORD BY MARY PORTER Member of the ACT Legislative Assembly and Founder of Volunteering ACT As we all know the ACT has one of the highest rates of volunteering in Australia. When I arrived in the ACT in 1977 I was introduced to the communities training program that was sponsored by the Mental Health arm of the, then, Health Commission and supported by ACTOSS & Lifeline ACT.

  • Spatial Effects: Juxtapositions of Nature and Artifice in Beowulf
    SPATIAL EFFECTS: JUXTAPOSITIONS OF NATURE AND ARTIFICE IN BEOWULF by Kevin D. Yeargin A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University August 2014 Thesis Committee: Dr. Rhonda McDaniel, Chair Dr. Amy Kaufman ABSTRACT Critics have extensively explored the tensions in Beowulf between Christianity and Paganism, literacy and orality, and heroism and kingship, yet little work has been done toward understanding another prominent binary: nature and artifice. This thesis examines instances when the Beowulf-poet brings images of artifice and images of nature into close proximity. Along with the introduction of literacy, new technologies and ideas were suddenly thrust into Anglo-Saxon culture, and one of the ways in which the people explored these social matters was through poetry such as Beowulf. The thesis first attempts to delineate the concepts of artifice and nature as they might have been viewed from an Anglo-Saxon perspective. This enables us to see how the poet utilizes these concepts to build vibrant aesthetic effects, to construct dynamic characters, and finally to bridge the conceptual divide between his current Christian audience and their Pagan ancestors. These “spatial effects” recur with enough frequency and sophistication to suggest that they stem from intentional creative decisions. Still, many Modern English translations of Beowulf obscure their significance or ignore them altogether. If, for instance, an image appears to waver between artifice and nature, the critical inclination has been to resolve instead of embrace the tension. Contemporary scholars and translators tend to simplify what the Beowulf-poet apparently wanted to complicate.

  • Reimagining Australia
    REIMAGINING AUSTRALIA Encounter, Recognition, Responsibility BOOK OF CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS (as at 16/11/16) ABOAGYE, Kaiya University of Sydney Re-imagining the African Diaspora in Australia: A discussion paper on the transcultural social history of Indigenous Australians and the African diaspora This paper will seek to draw out and make sense of the complex, transcultural and social history between Indigenous Australians and people of the African diaspora in Australia. Investigating the socio-historical and racial positioning of Aboriginal Australians of African descent, this paper asserts that this is a long often undocumented history. A history that starts from the very beginning of colonization in 1788, with the arrival of eleven settlers of African descent on Australia’s first fleet. It is commonly known among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family groups, that linage can be traced back several generations to long lost African forefathers, changing the nature and kinship of Aboriginal family formation. Dominant interpretations of Australia’s African history and early colonial literature routinely leave out this relationship between people of colour within its nationalist narrative. Our history books are habitual discourses that present an uncomplicated story about black and white protagonist and race relations, but never between the subjects themselves, or the voices of the oppressed “others”. Contemporarily it is a history reduced to occurring only within the early ninetieth centaury. This paper argues that by examining the historical relationship between these groups; we can start to extend our current thinking about the cultural nature of the “African Australian Diaspora” today, specifically as it emerges within transnational spaces of Indigenous Australian social history? As we work to further advance our theoretical articulation of, the development of transcultural black studies in Australia, this paper will not only assess the parameters of this research study.
