  • The Sydney Cricket Ground: Sport and the Australian Identity
    The Sydney Cricket Ground: Sport and the Australian Identity Nathan Saad Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney This paper explores the interrelationship between sport and culture in Australia and seeks to determine the extent to which sport contributes to the overall Australian identity. It uses the Syndey Cricket Ground (SCG) as a case study to demonstrate the ways in which traditional and postmodern discourses influence one’s conception of Australian identity and the role of sport in fostering identity. Stoddart (1988) for instance emphasises the utility of sports such as cricket as a vehicle through which traditional British values were inculcated into Australian society. The popularity of cricket in Australia constitutes perhaps what Markovits and Hellerman (2001) coin a “hegemonic sports culture,” and thus represents an influential component of Australian culture. However, the postmodern discourse undermines the extent to which Australian identity is based on British heritage. Gelber (2010) purports that contemporary Australian society is far less influenced by British traditions as it was prior to WWII. The influence of immigration in Australia, and the global ascendency of Asia in recent years have led to a shift in national identity, which is reflected in sport. Edwards (2009) and McNeill (2008) provide evidence that traditional constructions of Australian sport minimise the cultural significance of indigenous athletes and customs in shaping national identity. Ultimately this paper argues that the role of sport in defining Australia’s identity is relative to the discourse employed in constructing it. Introduction The influence of sport in contemporary Australian life and culture seems to eclipse mere popularity.

  • African American Research Library and Cultural Center Special Collections Preservation Project
    PG-266661-19 African American Research Library and Cultural Center Special Collections Preservation Project What activity (or activities) would the grant support? The African American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC) is seeking support for the development of a two stage preservation and outreach initiative. The first output area will employ an external consultant to create a comprehensive preservation assessment report. The purpose of this assessment is to provide a thorough actionable report of archival planning needs. The scope of the assessment will cover the collections and their institutional context - the physical building, storage environment, security, access, care, conservation repair, and exhibition. Collections at AARLCC are found in the following mediums: paper, photographic, book, art, framed art, manuscript and oversized materials. Besides identifying a hierarchy of preservation needs, the report will serve as documentation for further institutional budgeting. The second output will be the completion of two preservation and collections care workshops for the general public. AARLCC is located in one of the oldest historically black communities in Broward County, Florida. Located on Sistrunk Blvd, named for one of Broward County’s first black physicians, AARLCC opened in 2002, and has served as the repository of materials related to the local, national and international voices of the African diaspora. With time, and as the surrounding neighborhoods undergo a change in population, the risk of losing valuable information is evident. The average person is unaware that their personal papers have historical value. Often, records of a community’s history are lost or discarded. Of great importance is the need to collect and preserve the history of this and other historically Black communities in Broward.

  • Leigh Rugby Club Was Formed in 1878 and Has Been the Heartbeat of the Community Ever Since
    Leigh Rugby Club was formed in 1878 and has been the heartbeat of the community ever since. One of the few towns in England where Rugby League is the dominant sport, Leigh’s own history is intrinsically linked with the fortunes of its rugby league club. Indeed, our town’s crest features a Latin motto which means ‘Progress with Unity’ something we always strive to instil. If you visit Leigh on a Sunday morning you will witness hundreds of children playing the game of rugby league. At our community clubs like Leigh Miners Rangers and Leigh East you will find entire families committed encouraging the disciplines and togetherness of our sport. It is a story reflected in Leigh’s own history where generations of the same family have pulled on the hooped shirt with pride. Both Leigh East and Leigh Miners play a kick away from Leigh Sports Village, a facility which has regenerated the town since it opened more than 10 years ago. More than just a stadium, this is a complex which has welcomed Champions League winners Bayern Munich and Rugby League World Champions Australia for training. Next year, the stadium will host several matches in the Rugby League World Cup and will also be a host venue for the Women’s European Football Championships. Manchester United Women have played their games at the stadium since their formation and global TV coverage means the name of the Leigh Sports Village is now a familiar one with sports fans across the world. It is a stadium which ‘Leythers’ are happy to call home and the atmosphere on match days can take your breath away.
