The ‘Shuffle of Things’ and the Distribution of Agency
The first part of my title echoes Francis Bacon’s reference to cabinets of curiosity as places where ‘whatsoever singularity and the shuffle of things hath produced ... shall be sorted and included’. It establishes a connection to Bruno Latour’s discussion of the redistribution of agency effected by bureaux of statistics, the storerooms for the maps produced by Lapérouse’s Pacific voyages, and the collections of natural history museums. Latour’s …

In asking whether the survey conducted for the Australian Cultural Fields project might be the last of its kind, this article reflects on the issues raised by the participants in this review symposium as well as those registered in the Fields, Capitals, Habitus book regarding the limitations of cultural capital surveys. It also draws on recent critical assessments of the degree to which the underlying principles of Bourdieu's sociology can engage…
Introduction
This article reviews the terms in which the Australian Cultural Fields project engaged with the concepts of fields, capitals, and habitus. It also places these concepts in the context of their longer histories of use and interpretation in Bourdieusian sociology, and identifies the new inflections acquired in bringing them to bear on the relations between culture and inequality in Australia. It involves a discussion of some of the key dynamics tha…

Beyond the Cultural Competence Paradigm and contradictory tensions stemming from the multiple identities that constitute each person and community.It also demonstrated the ways in which structural conditions such as chronic poverty, language barriers, and vulnerability to immigration control are tied to gender, race, and class, categories that would later expand across other identities as the concept of intersectionality rapidly diffused across m…

The multiplication of cultural studies' utility
Antipodean fields
The papers collected in this special issue of the Journal of Sociology seek both to develop a sense of the cumulative impact of Bourdieu’s work on Australasian (‘antipodean’) debates, and to get a sense of how these debates might raise questions regarding the portability of Bourdieu’s categories. We discuss the distinctive disciplinary orientations of the uptake of Bourdieu’s work both here and internationally, and propose some explanations of th…

The Causal Connection Between Drug Misuse and Crime
One of the most influential accounts of the causal connection between drug use and crime was developed by Paul Goldstein in a tripartite conceptual framework that divided explanations of the connection into economic-compulsive', psychopharmacological' and systemic' (Goldstein 1985). The aim of this paper is to examine the validity of the taxonomy in explained drug-related crime across different crime types and to identify some of the mechanisms i…
Re-introducing African Customary Law to the South African Legal System
A fully justiciable Bill of Rights in South Africa’s new constitution heralded fundamental change for all the laws inherited from the previous regime. African customary law was a particular target, since many of its rules are imbued with a patriarchal tradition, which is in direct conflict with the principle of gender equality. In a series of remarkable cases that ensued in the South African High Court and appeal courts, the question whether cust…
The Exhibitionary Complex
In reviewing Foucault on the asylum, the clinic, and the prison as institutional articulations of power and knowledge relations, Douglas Crimp suggests that there ‘is another such institution of confinement ripe for analysis in Foucault’s terms-the museum-and another discipline-art history’.1 Crimp is no doubt right, although the terms of his proposal are misleadingly restrictive. For the emergence of the art museum was closely related to that of…
Gang Membership, Drugs and Crime in the UK
There is some evidence from national newspapers and government reports that the number of gangs and gang members in the United Kingdom is increasing. There are also reports that street gangs are involved in serious and violent offending and sometimes carry guns. In some respects, the picture painted by these reports is similar to the stereotype of gang membership in the United States. However, there is little criminological research on gangs in t…

What's New in Evaluation Research? A Note on the Pawson and Tilley Article
This paper examines the criticisms of quasi-experimental design included in a recent article by Pawson and Tilley (1994). The note argues that the criticisms are poorly developed and unconvincing and concludes that the article provides us with little that is new and nothing that is useful in developing research methods in criminology
Effects of chronic infusions of α‐trinositol on regional and cardiac haemodynamics in conscious rats
Male, Long Evans rats (350–450 g) were chronically instrumented for the measurement of renal, mesenteric and hindquarters haemodynamics, and were given three consecutive, 24 h infusions of vehicle (sterile saline at 0.3 ml h −1 ; n = 8) or α‐trinositol ( d ‐ mjyo ‐inositol‐1,2,6‐triphosphate) at 5, 20 and 80 mg kg −1 h −1 (0.3 ml h −1 ; n = 9). During infusion of α‐trinositol at 5 or 20 mg kg −1 h −1 , cardiovascular changes were little different…
