(There are two reasons why we do our art: the first is to maintain our culture, the second is to earn money). Injalak Arts and Crafts Corporate Plan INTRODUCTION In the last chapter, the example of bark paintings was used to test Western categories for indigenous art. Reference was also made to Aboriginal systems of classification, in particular the ways Yolngu people classify painting, including bark painting. Morphy's concept, that Aboriginal art exists in two 'frames', was briefly introduced, and his view was cited that Yolngu artists increasingly operate within both 'frames', the Aboriginal frame and the European frame (Morphy 1991:26). This chapter develops the theme of how indigenous art objects are valued, both within the creator society and when they enter the Western art-culture system. When aesthetic objects move between cultures the values attached to them may change.

  • 75 Years of Activity in Ghana
    1 JANUARY 2013 A WORD FROM THE PROVINCIAL Dear Confreres, 22001133!! We had a nice Family Feast celebration last week in Nsawam where we celebrated the following jubilees of our confreres: Henry Noordermeer – 50 77 55 yyeeaarrss years priesthood; B. Dan Berek – 25 years priesthood; Antonius Hibur – 25 years vows; Daniel Lenwah – 25 years vows. We also celebrated 25 years in vows of our Sisters: Kamila Kubiak and Cecilia Boateng.. ooff This time the confreres came in very early on the 24th, especially the young ones. Many Sisters also came early. The number of confreres and sisters present for this Family Feast was probably the highest so far. It was a very SSVVDD meaningful celebration. Fr. Lenwah was the main celebrant for the Mass and Fr. Dan Berek preached on mission. Our congratulations again to all the MM iissssiioonnaarryy jubilarians. Talking about jubilees, the Archdiocese of Accra is remembering the first missionaries’ arrival in Greater Accra 120 years ago. The SMA Missionaries landed in Accra 120 years ago and handed over the mission to the SVD after AA ccttiivviittyy our arrival in 1938. All of us are invited for this celebration on 31st January for a solemn High Mass presided over by the Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana in and concelebrated by the SMA and SVD Provincials and other priests. It will in be held in the CFAO car park. Being a very historic event, please do your very best to be present for this very solemn occasion. As we have already written to you, there will be a province visitation from GGhhaannaa 17th April to 15th May.

  • Loggers, Donors and Resource Owners PAPUA NEW Papua New Guinea Is Well Endowed with Tropical Forest, Almost All of Which Is Held by Local People Under Customary Title
    Policy thatworksforforestsandpeople Loggers, donors and resource owners PAPUA NEW Papua New Guinea is well endowed with tropical forest, almost all of which is held by local people under customary title. But the forest sector is in a mess. Over the last ten years a major national process G UINEA of policy and institutional reform has sought to sort out the sector, but some key features of PNG society continue to frustrate this process. The ‘ideology of resource ownership’ is the core of national identity, yet it undermines the potential for diversified economic development based on the use or value of land and forests. Also, a widespread obsession with the pursuit of personal political power grows alongside an equally widespread loss of faith in the ability of government to deliver social and economic devel- opment. These contradictions help to explain why the national policy process centres on a struggle between the logging industry and donor agencies for the hearts and minds of the resource owners. Whilst this struggle throws up many problems, it also presents opportunities for establishing a new approach to policy for forests and people. This would establish the common ground upon which a wider coalition of interests - a new ‘policy community’ - could be built. Opportunities include: developing mechanisms for testing and publicising claims to productive innovation; combining different scales of No: 2 NewGuinea Papua Sekhran with Filer enterprise; generating a vision of the public interest through dialogue; and installing a brokering mechanism to connect needs with existing capacities. Policy that works for forests and people series Forest issues often concern large amounts of money, long timeframes, huge areas of land, and diverse livelihoods.

    PART 3: THE LIMITS OF INDEPENDENCE Chapter 12 Independence and its Discontents apua New Guineans handled the transition to independence with flair, despite their Plimited experience, the speed with which they had to act and the explosive agenda that they inherited. With great skill and some luck, they brought their country united to independence with new institutions, a new public service, a guaranteed income and a home-made constitution. A Failing State? The coalition that achieved these feats tottered in 1978 when Julius Chan took the PPP into opposition, and collapsed in March 1980 when the Leader of the Opposition, Iambakey Okuk, won a no-confidence motion, naming Chan as preferred Prime Minister. Chan had quit the coalition over the attempt to buttress the Leadership Code (Chapter 9) and disagreement on relations between private business and public office. Somare returned to office after the 1982 election but once again he was ousted in mid- term by a vote of no confidence, yielding to the ambitious young Western Highlander Paias Wingti. The pattern was now set, whereby coalitions are formed after an election but no government survives the fixed five-year parliamentary term. Votes of no confi- dence are the mechanism for replacing one opportunist coalition with another. By this device, Wingti was replaced by Rabbie Namaliu, who yielded to Wingti again, who was replaced by Chan, whose coalition collapsed in the wake of a bungled attempt to employ mercenaries (see below). After the 1997 election, Bill Skate — a gregarious accountant from Gulf Province, Governor of Port Moresby and cheerful opportunist — held a Cabinet together for nearly two years.

  • Ethnic Conflict in Papua New Guinea
    Asia Pacific Viewpoint, Vol. 49, No. 1, April 2008 ISSN 1360-7456, pp12–22 Ethnic conflict in Papua New Guinea Benjamin Reilly Centre for Democratic Institutions, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract: On many measures of ethno-linguistic diversity, Papua New Guinea is the most frag- mented society in the world. I argue that the macro-level political effect of this diversity has been to reduce, rather than increase, the impact of ethnic conflict on the state. Outside the Bougainville conflict, and (to a lesser extent) the recent upsurge of violence in the Southern Highlands, ethnic conflicts in Papua New Guinea have not presented a threat to national government. In contrast to most other ethnically diverse societies, the most consequential impacts of ethnic conflict in Papua New Guinea are at the local level. This paper therefore examines the disparate impacts of local- and national-level forms of ethnic conflict in Papua New Guinea. Keywords: diversity, elections, ethnic conflict, Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea combines two unusual fea- impact of ethnic conflict on the state. The reason tures which should make it a case of special for this is relatively straightforward: outside the interest to scholars of ethnicity and ethnic con- Bougainville conflict and (to a lesser extent) the flict.

  • 13. Applying the Concept of Lifelong Action Learning
    RICHARD TEARE 13. APPLYING THE CONCEPT OF LIFELONG ACTION LEARNING Learning and Development for a Better World INTRODUCTION Ortrun Zuber-Skerritt’s contemporary ideas about Lifelong Action Learning (LAL) are grounded in the work of the Global University for Lifelong Learning (GULL). This chapter profiles Ortrun’s contribution to the LAL concept and to GULL’s work since its launch in 2007. The chapter also outlines how Ortrun’s personal and scholarly insights have helped to shape an inclusive approach to learning and development that encourages and strengthens low income and subsistence communities. As a vehicle for LAL, GULL aims to harness the potential of people to bring about positive change and in particular, greater self-reliance and financial independence. It is a self-directed process of learning and growth that can be shared with others. The importance of LAL is also reflected in sustainable transformation – a form of practical ‘self-help’ that yields on-going personal and community benefits. Ortrun’s substantial contribution to the literature on aspects of Action Learning and Action Research (ALAR) is internationally recognised and widely acknowledged by people all over the world who draw on her work. To shed light on why her contribution is so significant, I aim to highlight some of the ways in which Ortrun’s generosity of spirit, visionary thinking and commitment to action underpin her many books. The chapter opens with a personal tribute to Ortrun (modelling action leadership) and continues by tracing her contribution to GULL’s work with reference to five books she has authored, co-authored and edited since 2009.
