  • 14. Policy Alchemy and the Magical Transformation of Aboriginal Society
    14. Policy Alchemy and the Magical Transformation of Aboriginal Society David F . Martin Anthropos Consulting and The Australian National University Traditional culture has been stultified and degraded so that it has not moved from sorcery to the rule of reason, from polygamy to the equality of women with men and from ‘pay-back’ to the rule of law. — Helen Hughes (2007), Centre for Independent Studies This chapter focuses on an issue to which Nicolas Peterson has directed our attention for nearly two decades (for example, Peterson 1991, 1998, 2005; Peterson and Taylor 2003): that many Aboriginal people, particularly but not only those living in remote regions, bring distinctive repertoires of values, world views and practices to their engagement with the general Australian society that have profound implications for the nature of that engagement. Critical social analysis of the situations of Aboriginal people must never ignore, for example, the historical role of the state; but neither must it avoid the central role of Aboriginal agency. My own research with Wik people living in Aurukun, western Cape York Peninsula (Martin 1993),1 showed how sorcery—or at least, accusations of it—is deeply implicated in the endemic disputation and violence that have become such a dominant feature of contemporary Aurukun life. I argued that Wik retaliation or ‘payback’, whether conducted openly through violence or secretly through sorcery, provides a particular instance of more general principles—those of reciprocity and equivalence—in the transactions of material and symbolic items through which autonomy and relatedness are realised. Like the flows of material goods, the exchanges of retribution serve to structure and reproduce the relationships not only between individuals but between collectivities (such as families).

  • Peter Mccawley, January 2018
    Southeast Asian Studies at ANU – Personal recollection ANU and Asia: A Life between Town and Gown Peter McCawley, January 2018 Beginning Asian Studies It all started in the mid 1960s. I was an economics student at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. In a course on economic development, it soon became clear that there were huge differences in income and wealth between rich and poor countries. Our text was one of the earliest books on economic development, Economic Development: Problems, Principles and Policies, by Benjamin Higgins. Higgins, a Canadian, later settled in Canberra. Towards the end of his life he was active in the National Centre for Development Studies at ANU.1 I was worried by these huge gaps between rich and poor countries. They seemed to me then – as they still seem to me now – a key global issue. Moreover, for many of my generation the North‐South gap in Asia was brought into sharp relief by the war in Vietnam. In Australia, the national involvement in the Vietnam War took hold in 1965. In a dramatic declaration, in May 1965 in Parliament, the parliamentary Labor Party declared itself opposed to the war. The previous year, conscription had been introduced to support the war effort. These events deeply divided Australian society and affected attitudes toward Asia for the next several decades. The war in Vietnam notwithstanding, rapid political and social changes were occurring in Asia in places such as China, South Asia, and Indonesia. In 1965 and 1966, dramatic political events were taking place as Soeharto’s “New Order” government seemed to be succeeding in sidelining Sukarno and introducing a major realignment in the geopolitical balance of power in Southeast Asia.
