Graeme Turner
Graeme Turner SURRENDERING THE SPACE Convergence culture, Cultural Studies and the curriculum This essay tests the claims made by some versions of convergence culture to be the next step forward for Cultural Studies. It does this by examining the teaching programmes that have been generated by various formations of convergence culture: programmes in new media studies, creative industries and digital media studies. The results of this examination are cause for concern: most of these programmes appear to have surrendered the space won for Cultural Studies in the university curriculum in favour of an instrumentalist focus on the training, rather than the education, of personnel to work in the emerging media industries. The essay argues therefore that while such developments may represent themselves as emerging from within Cultural Studies, in practice they have turned out to have very little to do with Cultural Studies at all. Keywords teaching Cultural Studies; curriculum; new media studies; creative industries; digital media studies Introduction Reservations about the hype around what we have come to call convergence culture are not new. Back in 2003, media historian Jeffery Sconce, bouncing off an account of a pre-modern example of popular hype, ‘tulipmania’,1 had this to say about the early warning signs from what was then called ‘digital culture’: I think most of us would be hard-pressed to think of a discipline in which more pages have been printed about things that haven’t happened yet (and may never) and phenomena that in the long run are simply not very important (Jennicam, anyone?). Of course, only an idiot would claim that digital media are not worthy of analysis, an assertion that would sadly replicate the hostility towards film and television studies encountered in the last century. -
Local Heritage Register
Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

Mixed Evidence from Two Inner City Areas in Brisbane Simon Huston
Urban Design and Boosterism of Property Sub-Markets: Mixed Evidence from Two Inner City Areas in Brisbane Simon Huston And Marek Kozlowski School Of Geography, Planning And Architecture University Of Queensland, St Lucia Qld 4072, Australia Abstract In recent years Australia has witnessed a spate of inner city revitalisation projects as part of a general trend in urban renewal. Inner city redevelopments have transformed parts of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other Australian cities. In this article we explore the impact of urban design, one of the tools of the redevelopment process, on the property market by considering two major projects in inner Brisbane where the selected sites and adjacent neighbourhoods have evolved from working class into upper-middle and high-income class enclaves. We also investigate relationships between the changing urban environment and property prices of the two studied redevelopment sites and their surrounding areas. The paper provides some mixed evidence that urban design master planned inner city enclaves might boost property prices however evidence is inconclusive because property submarkets in the two locations are segmented by heterogeneity of building stock, accessibility and the effects of urban blight. Inner City Transformation in Australia The past two decades have witnessed a major shift in urban policies towards refurbishing the decaying inner city areas. Although there is no question that inner city redevelopments improve and enhance degraded built environments, there is mounting criticism that such transformations cater to only a select group of the community. Further, they often result in disconnection from the remaining fabric of the city (Fainstein 1994, Marshall 2003, Meyer 1999). -

Japanese and German POWs were brought here for interrogation prior to imprisonment in the southern states. The military purchased the site in 1945. In 1951 it became the Northern Command Provost Company’s barracks. It changed its name from Indooroopilly Barracks to Witton Barracks during the 1980s. History The Commonwealth requisitioned the site from the Queensland Government’s Public Trustees Limited on October 1942. The Public Trustee was administering this property as part of the estate of H.B. Hemming who died on 8 March 1942. The property had, previously been put up for auction on 15 July but was withdrawn from sale, with a new land evaluation conducted by Blocksidge & Ferguson in August. The site included two residences ‘Tighnabruaich’ and ‘Witton House’ that overlooked the Brisbane River. ‘Tighnabruaich’ was built in 1892. The earlier (1860s) ‘Witton House’ was moved onto the property from elsewhere in Indooroopilly in 1915. -

Graduate Careers in Media, Cultural and Communication
Say goodbye to the fries: Graduate careers in media, cultural and communication studies Stuart Cunningham and Ruth Bridgstock Stuart Cunningham is Distinguished Professor of Media and Communications and Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation, Queensland University of Technology Dr Ruth Bridgstock is Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow, ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation, Queensland University of Technology. 1 Say goodbye to the fries: Graduate careers in media, cultural and communication studies Abstract This article addresses the paucity of systematic data on graduate careers in the arts and humanities in the broader context of enduring public and policy debates about the benefits of education to society, the relation between public and private good that is derivable from education, and the specific disciplinary angle that can be brought to bear on these questions from media, cultural and communication studies. We report findings from a survey of ten years of graduates from Queensland University of Technology’s courses in media, cultural and communication studies which indicate very high employment levels and generally positive accounts of the relevance of courses to working life. A major insight that can be drawn from the research is that media, cultural and communication studies deliver capabilities, skills and orientations which are themselves strongly aligned with the kinds of transferable generic attributes which facilitate transition into the workplace. 2 There is a radical paucity of systematic data on graduate careers in the arts and humanities in general, and more specifically, for our purposes and for readers of this journal, in media, cultural and communication studies. -

Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand Vol. 32 Edited by Paul Hogben and Judith O’Callaghan Published in Sydney, Australia, by SAHANZ, 2015 ISBN: 978 0 646 94298 8 The bibliographic citation for this paper is: Macarthur, John. “Architecture, HEAT and the Government of Culture.” In Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand: 32, Architecture, Institutions and Change, edited by Paul Hogben and Judith O’Callaghan, 366-377.

Interested parties may contact the editors. John Macarthur, University of Melbourne Architecture, HEAT and the Government of Culture The HEAT program, in which the Queensland Government’s Creative Industry Unit promoted architecture from 2008-12, was perhaps the most elaborate and, in a practical sense, successful example of a Creative Industries program in Australia. Nevertheless, at a conceptual level it exposed developing contradictions in the government of culture, with the consequence that architecture, being so long outside the realm of cultural policy, could be a cipher for quite contradictory positions. HEAT spanned the period between the late twentieth century when Cultural Studies academics put Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality to work in cultural policy, the emergence of the concept of Creative Industries in the early twenty-first century, and the current ferment over Creative Industries as a neo-liberal monetisation of culture and as a useful recalibration cultural policy. These international developments and debates were well advanced and in part initiated in Queensland, but the fact that HEAT chose architecture as the first example of a Creative Industry adds further twists to an already complex story. -
