From the other side of the world (France) this article goes right to my heart. In the late 1970s I was heavily involved in the administration of the Melbourne Youth Choir conducted by Faye Dumont. In February and March 1978 we took the choir on a world tour to Japan, Great Britain and France. Highlights were master classes in London conducted by Sir Colin Davis, a concert in Chartres Cathedral and being hosted by families of a French youth orchestra in Orléans. I also appreciated the article on page 18 concerning Q&A French Goldfields Lodge, Ballarat. I have forwarded it to with Charlie Bezzina my French brother-in-law, a member of the “irregular” Grand Orient of France and currently Worshipful Master of the only Lodge in that Obedience that labours under the Memphis Misraïm Rite.

    Australian Feminist Approaches to Mass Awareness Campaigns: Celanthropy, Celebrity Feminism and Online Activism Author Casey, Sarah Jane Published 2015 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Humanities DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/2528 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/366513 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Australian Feminist Approaches to Mass Awareness Campaigns: Celanthropy, Celebrity Feminism and Online Activism Sarah Jane Casey B.A. B.A. (Hons 1) School of Humanities Arts, Education and Law Group Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2014 1 ii Abstract This research asks which methods can successfully promote mainstream recognition for an issue, and if the success of such methods translates to a stronger feminist movement in Australia in the twenty-first century Western zeitgeist. These questions are important because broader-scale feminist consciousness-raising is critical at a time when the dominant discourses of neoliberalism and postfeminism often mean a reduced focus on collective campaigning for issues such as the awareness of gender-based violence, and there has arguably been an evacuation of substantive feminist politics in some areas. My original contribution lies in the testing and analysis of campaign methods and pathways for the information of Australian feminists who want to take women’s rights issues to more central mainstream spaces in feminist mass awareness campaigning. This research explores the deployment of what I call the twenty-first century’s ‘Tools of the Zeitgeist’.
