Specifically, my central research question asked: what resources are mobilised in constructing the subjectivities of male theatrical dancers? The primary means for addressing this question was a series of interviews with Australian men who are or have been employed as professional ballet or contemporary dancers. By way of background to these data, I considered the different ways in which male theatrical dancers have been discursively produced over the last 300 years or so in both scholarly and popular literature. In addition, 1 present a case study of Robert Helpmann, Australia's first international ballet star. By examining recorded interviews with Helpmann and the considerable newspaper, magazine and biographical literature which accompanied his life, I argue that existing discursive 'explanations' of the male dancer scarcely begin to reflect the complex interplay of aesthetics, gender and sexuality which seem to have constituted Helpmann the man and Helpmann the artist. This complexity is also a distinguishing feature of the analysis of the interview data that I present. In particular, I suggest that while there is clearly no male dancer 'type', the ways in which male dancers constitute themselves and the reasons they give for being dancers can be understood as part of what Foucault called the 'art of the self. That is, their subjectivities are constellations of particular discursive resources and bodily memories which come together to form context specific personal styles. However, these styles are not simply a matter of 'taste'; they reflect the dividends of social power which accrue to particular kinds of men within Australian society, as well as, in some cases, indicating sites of resistance towards dominant notions of masculinity. 1 Acknowledgments The work towards this thesis was generously supported by a Charles Sturt University Faculty of Education seed grant. Parts of Chapters One and Four of this thesis appeared in Gard (2001), 'Dancing around the 'problem' of boys and dance', an article published in the journal Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, volume 22, number 2. This work would also not have been possible without the support, friendship and love of a number of people. I am deeply grateful to the men who took part in this research, all of whom were generous with their time and encouragement for what I was doing. Meeting and talking to them was one of the many highlights of doing this work. I am also grateful to the people who helped facilitate the project, particularly Jeff Meiners, Julie Dyson and Mark Gordon, who, more than anyone, got me started. Although I cannot name them, a number of people connected with two Australian dance companies were also enormously helpful and, in a number of ways, made this work much easier to complete. My colleagues and friends in the Human Movement Studies Unit and Faculty of Education at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst have been a constant source of ideas and encouragement. In particular, I want to thank Joan Fry, Carol Woodruff and Mark McFadden for their patience and guidance during my initiation into academic life. Frank and Trish Marino's sound advice, friendship, hospitality and superb coffee has sustained me through many long and hectic semesters. I have also greatly benefited from my work with CSU's Centre for Cultural Research into Risk and from my professional and personal associations with Sharon Pickering, Will Letts IV(!), Jane Selby, Ben Bradley, Katrina Schlunke, Julie Marcus, Elizabeth Wulff, Rachel Hutchesson and Michael Howes. In terms of whatever progress I have made in academic life, words cannot do justice to the contribution of my first Head of School, the one and only Judith Parker. As all those who come into contact with her know, one is never the same afterwards. I have also had the good fortune of working for and with Bob Meyenn, the Dean of my faculty, who has been a wonderful mentor, a dear friend and a rich supply of gossip. Both Bob and Judith, above all others, are responsible for infecting me with an interest in research and for creating the intellectual and temporal space for me to pursue my 2 interests, despite what Judith often described as the 'straightened times' within which universities currently operate. I am indebted to Loughborough University's Department of Physical Education, Sports Science and Recreation Management which gave me an office and a computer to work on this thesis during my period of study leave in England and Scotland in 2000. In particular, I am grateful to Mark Falcous (and the Leicester 'Riders'), John Evans, Dawn Penney and the Kirk and McPhail families for helping to make this a productive and happy time. While in the UK, I also spent time talking with Jane Pritchard, archivist with the Rambert Dance Company, Ramsay Burt and Joyce Sherlock, each of whom made important contributions to this work Jan Wright has been a model supervisor; generous in her praise, thoughtful and forthright in her criticisms, speedy with drafts, always ready to listen and exchange ideas, a warm and valued friend and colleague. While the ultimate responsibility for this work is my own, every stage in its production was facilitated by her patience and her calm and insightful words. I also want to mention my friend, David Armstrong, with whom I began tertiary study. Although our lives have taken different paths since then, his intelligence, humour, humility, sense of adventure and clear-eyed view of the world continue (though, sadly, not nearly as much as I would like) to shape who I am and how I think My hope is that our paths will cross more frequently in the future. Thanks also to other friends, Andrew Harvey, Tim Thornley, Karen Thompson and Gia Franchi, who listened and talked about this project with me; you are all in there somewhere.

  • THE BEAUTIFUL WARRIORS Technofeminist Praxis in the Twenty-First Century
    Minor Compositions Open Access Statement – Please Read This book is open access. This work is not simply an electronic book; it is the open access version of a work that exists in a number of forms, the traditional printed form being one of them. All Minor Compositions publications are placed for free, in their entirety, on the web. This is because the free and autonomous sharing of knowledges and experiences is important, especially at a time when the restructuring and increased centralization of book distribution makes it difficult (and expensive) to distribute radical texts effectively. The free posting of these texts does not mean that the necessary energy and labor to produce them is no longer there. One can think of buying physical copies not as the purchase of commodities, but as a form of support or solidarity for an approach to knowledge production and engaged research (particularly when purchasing directly from the publisher). The open access nature of this publication means that you can: • read and store this document free of charge • distribute it for personal use free of charge • print sections of the work for personal use • read or perform parts of the work in a context where no financial transactions take place However, it is against the purposes of Minor Compositions open access approach to: • gain financially from the work • sell the work or seek monies in relation to the distribution of the work • use the work in any commercial activity of any kind • profit a third party indirectly via use or distribution of the work • distribute in or through a commercial body (with the exception of academic usage within educational institutions) The intent of Minor Compositions as a project is that any surpluses generated from the use of collectively produced literature are intended to return to further the development and production of further publications and writing: that which comes from the commons will be used to keep cultivating those commons.

  • Gender Dimensions of Free and Open Source Development
    THE MAKING OF LABORER SUBJECTIVITY AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE INFORMATION INDUSTRY: GENDER DIMENSIONS OF FREE AND OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT Yeon Ju Oh A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2013 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Deborah G. Wooldridge Graduate Faculty Representative Oliver Boyd-Barrett Victoria S. Ekstrand ii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor This study examines female software developers as knowledge laborers with a special emphasis on free and open source software (FOSS) development. In examining female developers as knowledge laborers, this study focuses on both labor and knowledge. Women’s low participation in FOSS development is not an issue of recent years, but a consequence of women’s overall status in the computing field over the last three decades. In order to explicate women’s low participation in FOSS development, a broader historical and economic analysis is needed. Thus, this study explores the historical context of computer science education and industry in the 1980s since this is when the groundwork for FOSS development was laid. Furthermore, the power of cultural discourses that maintain and reinforce the gendered construction of FOSS development is discussed to unpack how the gendered construction is interrelated with the labor relations in the knowledge industry. In addition to the labor relations in FOSS development, this study attends to the knowledge produced by FOSS development. Knowledge gains importance as a sum of values of the knowledge producers. Source codes written by software developers turn into products that engage users with certain utility.

It is a result of the collaboration between Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Institute of Music and Dance, Lublin Centre of Culture, Lublin Dance Theatre and Art Stations Foundations The precursors of the Polish dance avant-garde were women – icons of dance history, promoters of modern ideas, thoughts, and techniques. The aim of the project ‘Choreographic territories – New Avant-garde Routes’ is to recall the profiles of these outstanding twentieth-century dance avant-garde artists of Polish origin: Pola Nireńska, Bronisława Niżyńska, Marie Rambert and Yanka Rudzka. As in the 1920s and 1930s, nowadays Polish artists can inspire a modern understanding of choreography in other countries as well. We wish to return to the model of intercultural exchange based on actual collaboration with local communities, emphasizing the strong presence of choreographers and dancers, both today and in the history of Polish dance in general1.. Female avant-garde dance figures will be the main artistic axis of the project to include reconstructive and educational activities as well as commissioning of new works inspired by Polish 1 Terms and Conditions of the Open Competition for a performance as part of the programme ‘Choreographic Territories – New Avant-garde Routes’ in 2020, p.
