    ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA: CHANGE, COMPARISON, AND ANALYSIS A Joint project between the Australian National University and the National Library of Australia under the auspices of the Australian Research Council Strategic Partnerships with Industry Research and Training Scheme. TITLE: Post-1980 Japanese Monographs (58 titles in total). RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION BY: Manabu Kawakatsu DATE OF COMPLETION: 01/08/2001 ©**** 2 PREFACE: The National Library of Australia (NLA) has very large holdings of Asian material, in English, in Asian languages, and in Asian scripts. The ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA project received resources in 2000-2002 from the Australian Research Council and the NLA to examine this collection of ‘Australiana’ in Chinese and Japanese. A pilot project in 1999 had identified the most promising material as being in monographs and periodicals in both languages and, in the case of Chinese, in both traditional and simplified characters. In order further to narrow the amount of material to be examined to fit within the resources of the project, researchers were asked to concentrate on monographs and periodical articles dealing with Australia in the following categories: • Australia as a place of settlement • Australia as exotic • Australia as a model • Australia/Asia geopolitical commentary • Culture, both high and low • Economics, trade and industrial relations • Indigenous Australia • Politics • Tourism • One Nation and Pauline Hanson • An Australian republic • Sydney Olympic games The material covered was divided chronologically as follows: Chinese: Periodicals (simplified characters) 1995-2001 (traditional characters) 1986-2000 Monographs (simplified characters) 1973-1999 (traditional characters) 1947-2000 Japanese: Periodicals (general) 1987-2001 (Nichigo Press) 1995-2000 Monographs 1881-1979 Monographs 1980-2001 Researchers made brief synopses of material in these categories and periodicals, which are attached to their bibliographical details.

E-ISSN 1943-4308 www.cognizantcommunication.com MANAGING ALCOHOL AND DRUGS IN EVENT AND VENUE SETTINGS: THE AUSTRALIAN CASE ROB HARRIS,* DEBORAH EDWARDS,* AND PETER HOMEL† *Australian Centre for Event Management, UTS Business School, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia †Crime Reduction and Review Program, Australian Institute of Criminology, Sydney, Australia One of the major challenges of operating events and venues is that of managing attendee/patron alcohol and drug use. In the Australian context, a rising number of alcohol and drug-related incidents in and around these settings have resulted in a renewed focus on how these negative outcomes can be more effectively controlled. In order to aid those charged with the task of addressing this matter— event and venue managers, police, security firms, alcohol and drug regulatory bodies, and govern- ments at all levels—this article seeks to identify those variables with the potential to impact this management issue. Further, it aims to provide the previously identified stakeholders with a deeper appreciation of the raft of practices that are currently in use, and potentially available to them, as they build responses to this challenge at the individual state, precinct, venue, or event level. The research approach used involved an extensive literature review and a series of in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across three states—New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia. Key words: Drugs and alcohol; Events and venues; Regulation; Enforcement; Control practices Introduction has resulted from the rising number of incidents of individual harm, violence, and community disrup- Pressure from the broader community on key stake- tion that have occurred in and around these settings.

  • Traditional Language Used in Production
    Traditional Language Used in Production 75 Traditional Language Used in Production There were several dialects spoken within the Border Rivers and Gwydir catchments. They included the Gamilaraay, Yuwalaraay and Yuwalayaay dialects as spoken by members of the Kamilaroi (Gomeroi) nation. The Nganyaywana language was spoken by members of the Anaiwan (or Eneewin) nation, whose land extends south from the border with the Banbai nation (near Guyra) towards Uralla and westward towards Tingha. Other notable languages within the area included Yukumbal (Jukumbal), from the Bundarra/Tingha/Inverell area, and Ngarabal, which was spoken around the Glen Innes area. This book uses and provides information on a few of the dialects spoken within the catchment. It is not intended for this book to be a language reference book, but the use of language names is included to help keep our language alive and for educational purposes. In some cases Aboriginal words have not been included as it has not been possible to collect detailed information on the relevant dialects. This book uses words and references primarily relating to the Gamilaraay, Yuwalaraay, Yuwalayaay, Banbai and Nganyaywana dialects (White 2010 pers. comm.).

  • Intimacies of Violence in the Settler Colony Economies of Dispossession Around the Pacific Rim
    Cambridge Imperial & Post-Colonial Studies INTIMACIES OF VIOLENCE IN THE SETTLER COLONY ECONOMIES OF DISPOSSESSION AROUND THE PACIFIC RIM EDITED BY PENELOPE EDMONDS & AMANDA NETTELBECK Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

  • Traditional Wiradjuri Culture
    Traditional Wiradjuri Culture By Paul greenwood I would like to acknowledge the Wiradjuir Elders, past and present, and thank those who have assisted with the writing of this book. A basic resource for schools made possible by the assistance of many people. Though the book is intended to provide information on Wiradjuri culture much of the information is generic to Aboriginal culture. Some sections may contain information or pictures from outside the Wiradjuri Nation. Traditional Wiradjuri Culture Wiradjuri Country There were many thousands of people who spoke the Wiradjuri language, making it the largest nation in NSW. The Wiradjuri people occupied a large part of central NSW. The southern border was the Murray River from Albury upstream towards Tumbarumba area. From here the border went north along the edges of the mountains, past Tumut and Gundagai to Lithgow. The territory continued up to Dubbo, then west across the plains to the Willandra creek near Mossgiel. The Booligal swamps are near the western border and down to Hay. From Hay the territory extended across the Riverina plains passing the Jerilderie area to Albury. Wiradjuri lands were known as the land of three rivers; Murrumbidgee (Known by its traditional Wiradjuri name) Gulari (Lachlan) Womboy (Macquarie) Note: The Murrumbidgee is the only river to still be known as its Aboriginal name The exact border is not known and some of the territories overlapped with neighbouring groups. Places like Lake Urana were probably a shared resource as was the Murray River. The territory covers hills in the east, river floodplains, grasslands and mallee country in the west.

  • Unesco Creative Cities Membership Monitoring Report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT
    unesco creative cities membership monitoring report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION. CONTRIBUTION TO THE NETWORK’S GLOBAL MANAGEMENT. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED AT LOCAL LEVEL. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED THROUGH INTER-CITY COOPERATION. PROPOSED ACTION PLAN. ANGELINA JOLIE AT THE SYDNEY PREMIER OF UNBROKEN CONTENTS. 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT With support from the NSW Government, the City of Sydney, and key screen industry stakeholders, Sydney was awarded the UNESCO City of Film designation in December 2010. The existing screen infrastructure in Sydney and the diversity and value of film culture of Sydney was a major reason for the success of Sydney’s bid. It placed Sydney as the second City of Film in the UCCN. As the specialist agency in screen matters, management of the status of the City of Film was given to the former agency Screen NSW, with the agreement of the City of Sydney and the support of the NSW Government and former Minister for the Arts. The UNESCO Creative City designation is consistent with the aims of the NSW Creative Industries Action Plan, which seeks to ensure that NSW, through Sydney, is recognised as a global creative centre and leader in creative industries. Sydney and its surrounds continue to be the location for high levels of both international and local production and post-production, as well as many Australian TV dramas. NSW is the dominant state for screen production in Australia with more than 60% of Australian production and post-production businesses located in here. With a suite of funding opportunities for the professional production sector, from early development to production finance and a range of industry development programs, the organization supports the continued growth and development of a creative sector that returns significant economic benefits, large numbers of jobs and high cultural and social returns to the community.

  • THE CULTURAL REINVENTION of PLANNING by Gregory
    THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING by Gregory Young MA (Syd), Dip Urb Studs (Macq), MPHA, MPIA A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING Abstract THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING Culture is expanding and has greater weight and explanatory potential in our culturalised age. Following the earlier literature of the ‘cultural turn’, culture is now perceived as ubiquitous in society, the economy, and theory, and with the capacity to intervene on itself. Further, it may be seen to characterise both the nature and the progressive potential of a range of contemporary social and intellectual technologies such as planning, education, health, and organisational development. While this general process of ‘culturalisation’ proceeds apace, the capacity of culture to act as an organising idea and category for sectors such as planning is still largely underdeveloped, most particularly in planning itself. A new Culturised Model for planning that is reflexive and ethical is proposed. Differentiated from the trend to culturalisation and its association with commodification, ‘culturisation’ has true sustainable and transformational potential. The thesis consists of three main parts – each of three chapters - with a substantial scene- setting Introduction and a Conclusion. Part One examines culture and planning, Part Two develops a new Culturised Model for planning, and Part Three illustrates the Model. In Part One the grounds of culturisation are prepared by: 1) describing our culturalised age; 2) developing a new positionality for planning; 3) presenting a critical analysis of neomodern and postmodern planning theory; and 4) outlining an original history of culture and planning in the 20 th and 21 st centuries.
