This issue kicks off with two essays that engage with the politics of representation in Australian cultural life. Maria Nugent’s essay, ‘“Every Right to be There”: Cinema Spaces and Racial Politics in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia’, shows how Luhrmann’s recent, controversial film provides insight into the experience of watching movies in segregated cinemas. This important essay brings together analysis of racial segregation as it is represented visually in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia with the recollections of Aboriginal cinema-goers who experienced or observed segregation first-hand. In doing so, Nugent reminds us of the significance of ‘non-realist’ cinema images that can captivate audiences and at the same time represent the material conditions of cinema-watching. While Nugent’s essay points to how relations of domination and subordination organize everyday, supposedly egalitarian, practices of cinema-going in Australia, Roger Hillman’s essay adds a transnational dimension to representations of an historical event that has become the preeminent site of national memorialisation. In ‘A Transnational Gallipoli?’, Hillman contrasts the masculinist heroics and celebratory nationalism of Peter Weir’s iconic film,Gallipoli , and Roger McDonald’s 1915, with more recent novels and films produced outside Australia’s borders that provide alternative forms of cultural memory. Louis de Bernières’ Birds Without Wings and Tolga Örnek’s documentary film Gallipoli: The Front Line Experience are significant as texts that ‘situate the Gallipoli legend in a transnational rather than a national framework, while providing a fuller understanding of how cultural memory works in relation to the national imaginary’. This issue features a special guest-edited section, ‘“On the Table”: Food in Our Culture’. Lisa Milner has brought together essays and book reviews that engage, in various ways, with how food is produced and consumed. Topics canvassed in this section include Adrian Peace on the ethics and politics of kangaroo consumption; histories of Australian food culture, including Barbara Santich on colonial appetites for native foods, and Colin Bannerman on the quest to define a distinctive Australian food culture; Ferne Edwards on the tension between large-scale capitalist and localized non-commodified food production systems; Elspeth Probyn on the intertwinement of humans, fish and oceans; and Jemàl Nath and Desireé Prideaux on the role of ‘mock meats’ in vegetarian eating practices. 1 Australian Humanities Review - Issue 51 Our Ecological Humanities section continues the food theme but with a specific focus on the impact of the human/animal divide on attitudes to consumption. Included are Elizabeth Leane and Helen Tiffin’s essay on Douglas Mawson’s relationship to his sled dogs, as well as excerpts from books by Gary Steiner (on the ethics of veganism), Dominique Lestel (on the human exceptionalism implicit in vegetarianism) and Val Plumwood (on the moral dualisms surrounding meat- eating). Concluding this section is Hollis Taylor’s review of Dominique Lestel’s L’animal est l’avenir de l’homme. 2 ESSAYS ‘Every Right to be There’: Cinema Spaces and Racial Politics in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia Maria Nugent During Baz Luhrmann’s childhood in a small country town in New South Wales in the 1960s and 1970s, his father operated the local picture theatre. It’s a detail much mentioned by Luhrmann in interviews, and often included in biographical sketches of him. His Wikipedia entry, for instance, notes that: ‘He was raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural settlement in northern New South Wales, where his father ran a petrol station and a movie theatre, both of which would influence his son’s film-making’ (‘Baz’). An interview with Luhrmann that appears on various fan websites likewise states: ‘Mark Anthony Luhrmann grew up in rural Australia and it was at his father’s movie theatre that he first became enthralled by the world of movies and the power of story telling’ (Fischer). Film theorist Pam Cook says that Luhrmann ‘delights in … telling his own life story, which he views as inseparable from his creative journey’ (14). As part of that story, Luhrmann credits his father’s cinema with exposing him to the old movies and musicals that would become inspiration for, and sources in, his own films. For instance, when explaining influences for Moulin Rouge, Luhrmann told one interviewer that: I grew up in the middle of nowhere and we got lots of old television and my dad ran a cinema for a while, so I loved musicals as a kid. You know, music cinema, all this artificiality making you feel things, I’ve done a lot of opera and theater, and I just thought that somebody’s got to get around to making that work in the cinema again. And so that was the project. (Keefe) That Luhrmann’s film-making owes a

Feminism as a political act defines this world order as patriarchal and contemplates on deconstructing the ways in which women are oppressed through a series of socially-, culturally- and ideologically- constructed gender identities. Thus, speculative fiction, together with its thematic and narratological properties, may offer an opportunity for women writers to speculate on how patriarchal constructions of sex and gender can be eliminated and what alternatives can be suggested in return. Feminist speculative fiction begun to be produced in the West in the 1960s and 70s, roughly, whereas in Turkey, the production begun as late as the 1990s, which corresponds to the revival of women’s movement in Turkey after the 1980s.

  • With God on Their Side
    With God on their Side 'Sport' and 'religion' are cultural institutions with a global reach. Each is characterised by ritualised performance and by the ecstatic devotion of its followers, whether in the sports arena or the cathedral of worship. This fasci­ nating collection is the first to examine, in detail, the relationship between these two cultural institutions from an international, religiously pluralistic perspective. It illuminates the role of sport and religion in the social forma­ tion of collective groups and explores how sport might operate in the service of a religious community. The book offers a series of cutting-edge contemporary historical case­ studies, wide-ranging in their geographical coverage and in their social and religious contexts. It presents important new work on the following topics: • sport and Catholicism in Northern Ireland • Shinto and sumo in Japan • women, sport and American Jewish identity • religion, race and rugby in South Africa • sport and Islam in France and North Africa • sport and Christian fundamentalism in the US • Muhammad Ali and the Nation of Islam With God on their Side is vital reading for all students of the history, sociology and culture of sport. It also presents important new research material that will be of interest to religious studies students, historians and anthropologists. Tara Magdalinski is Senior Lecturer in Australian and Cultural Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Timothy J.L. Chandler is Associate Dean at the College of Fine and Professional Arts and Professor of Sport Studies in the School of Exercise, Leisure and Sport at Kent State University, USA.

A great learning curve but I was more interested in the sub characters than in the romantic main two characters apart from their descriptions of sexual intercourse which is of course enlightening for every women the world over.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. In transitBy John L MurphyThe conceit is promising. This novel begins and ends as if the city narrates "herself" to us. But this idea fades and only appears in the middle of the novel rarely. Instead, Buket Uzuner introduces, as so many writers who teach, a professor protagonist. She may be a biologist like the author, but except for a florid paean to lavender, which makes sculptor Ayhan fall for her, there's little hint of this.The bulk of this takes place in the Ataturk Airport.

The chairing Institute is The Meertens Institute (Department of Language Variation). The theme of this conference is Micro and Macro Connections. The conference will be held at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU). Sociolinguistics is about the relationship between language and society. By proposing Micro and Macro connec- tions as the conference's theme, we want to invite researchers who generate insights into the interplay between language and society by examining the ways social structure is oriented to and affected by verbal practices. Language does not just reflect social facts. The connections between language and social organization are multi- layered, dynamic and reflexive and they are accomplished at many different levels of language use.

  • Walter V. Lalich: “From Diaspora to Transnational Flows”
    Croatian Studies Review 9 (2013) Walter V. Lalich: “From diaspora to transnational flows” Walter F. Lalich Department of International Studies Macquarie University Sydney, Australia [email protected] Croatia has felt the deep impact of its dynamic migrations, voluntary and involuntary, economic and political, to neighbouring and New World countries. Diverse migration flows preclude any uniform analysis of the process, starting with the creation of its early diaspora communities centuries ago, which was followed by economic migration to overseas and European countries, with political and renewed economic migration over the last decades. Major technological and communication changes over the last several decades have had an impact on the dynamics of diverse links established with the country of origin. The independence of Croatia and the breakdown of ideological barriers did not eliminate emigration but provided a new stimulus to the development and expansion of personal and business links, as well as contacts and networks of migrants and their descendants with the place of origin. These global and local structural changes have brought about new dynamics with regard to transnational social spaces grounded in institutional frameworks established from below by migrants. However, it encounters new challenges due to aging demographic structures both in Croatia and among its migrant community. This article analyses complexities of the transnational aspects of the migration process experienced by diverse migrant generations. Key words: migration flows, diaspora, dynamics, transnational, Croatia, Australia, Croatian-Australians 73 Croatian Studies Review 9 (2013) From diaspora to transnational flows This contribution reflects on the complexity of Croatian migration experience in a range extending from late medieval diaspora to the second generation community in a dynamic transnational social space generated from below by more recent migrant flows.

    TURKISH PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION REPORT ON FREEDOM TO PUBLISH TURKEY (JUNE 2012-2013) REPORT ON FREEDOM TO PUBLISH (June 2012 – June 2013) Lawsuits and Investigations against Books, Books Pulled Off the Shelf There was a case opened against Mehmet Baransu claiming that in his book Karargah (Headquarters), he has ‘’made certain information public that should have been kept secret’’ and ‘’attempted to influence the judiciary’’, in violation of Turkish Penal Code (TCK) 336 and 288. Baransu proved to be innocent on May 7, 2012 from the lawsuit where his sentence could have ranged from a year and a half to six years. Kemal Dal and Hıdır Altun, DTP and BDP administrators, were sentenced to prison due to the allegation that they were doing propaganda for an illegal organization with books of Abdullah Öcalan, violating Anti Terror Law (TMK) 7/2. Dal and Altun were arrested in front of the door of a shipping company’s shop in Izmir, Bornova when they were picking up packages of books, under the allegation that these packages comprised of illegal print media; then, they were released. Izmir Prosecution Office decided to confiscate 30 packages of books that arrived to shipping company because there was a precedent case from Siirt Lower Criminal Court, where it was decided that 2970 books would be confiscated which included Abdullah Öcalan’s plea to European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and books that included his other pleas published by Aram Publishing such as Uygarlık, Maskeli Tanrılar ve Örtük Krallar Çağı (Era of Civilization, Masked Gods and Covered Kings), Kapitalist Uygarlık, Maskesiz Tanrılar ve Çıplak Krallar Çağı (Era of Capitalist Civilization, Unmasked Gods, Naked Kings) and Özgürlük Sosyolojisi (Sociology of Freedom).
