Beyond public/private
As we re-imagine the role and value of the university, we need to pose new questions about knowledge and institutionality at a moment of intersecting crises. This essay presents a case study of a university in Western Canada, one shaped by the impacts of intensive extraction from human and more-than-human beings and now facing the challenge of reinventing itself in response to acute political, environmental and economic pressures. Approaching fos…
Making Change
Whereas gambling treatment-seeking rates are low, rates of self-change attempts are high. The public health challenge is to promote self-change efforts among people beginning to experience gambling problems, facilitate success at self-change by providing accessible support for use of successful strategies, and provide seamless bridges to a range of other treatments when desired or required
Predictors of gambling and problem gambling in Canada
The White Possessive against and within the Neoliberal University
Aileen Moreton-Robinson’s book The White Possessive: Property, Power, and Indigenous Sovereignty shows how intimately knowledge production and exchange are linked to the value of property. This article uses her text to identify and challenge the camouflage of possessive white ignorance as virtue in the neoliberal university. I argue that The White Possessive does more than help readers to understand the global revival of white supremacist movemen…
Against Western Civilisation
Knowledge is currently being shaped by the tension between two powerful forces. On one hand, we see intense competition within global markets by post-secondary education and research providers, served by corporate academic publishers and data-analytic services such as academia.edu and Google scholar. On the other hand, universities are being shaped at a local level by political movements of nationalism, white supremacism and protectionism. Transn…
Comparative Reflections on Indigenous Gambling
Interrupting White Possession and Unsettling State Borders
It is both a pleasure and a significant responsibility to review two field-shaping works in critical indigenous studies. The White Possessive showcases the unique intellectual contribution of Aileen Moreton-Robinson, both within Australia and internationally. Prising apart concepts of race, ethnicity and cultural difference, her book makes visible and accountable the patriarchal white subject of possession that subtends them. Mohawk Interruptus i…
Indian Dreaming
This article connects ‘the zone’, a subjective state associated with electronic gaming machine (EGM) consumption, to the racial state formations which generate and govern this cultural technology. It does so by addressing the role of visual iconography and audio features in producing EGM's appeal. My case study for this research is the iconography and soundscapes presented by a popular Native American genre of games in Australian gambling venues.…
Indigenous Sovereignty and the Being of the Occupier
The significance of this publication can be appreciated with reference to two recent moments in Australian public life. The first is Australian Attorney-General George Brandis' signalling a shift in foreign policy by stating that "no Australian government of either political persuasion 'acknowledges or accepts' the use of the word occupied in relation to Palestine" (Australian Associated Press 2014). This semantic reorientation was endorsed by Pr…
Finopower
Regulatory distinctions between “problem” and “recreational” gambling have contributed to the neglect of important discursive and cultural practices at the intersection of finance and gambling. This intersection is now sufficiently formative of everyday life and popular culture to warrant closer scrutiny within cultural studies research. Through a range of examples, I elaborate the concept of “finopower” as a specific kind of governmentality thro…
Saving Hope
A review on Ghassan Hage's Against Paranoid Nationalism: Searching for Hope in a Shrinking Society (Pluto Press Australia, Sydney, 2003
Bad Habits
This article considers how racialised discourses of addiction have been mobilised in debates over the lawfulness of the Australian government’s Northern Territory Emergency Response Act 2007 (NTERA), or ‘Intervention’. After showing how academic support for the Intervention has become linked to questions about the legitimacy of Indigenous Knowledge, it considers whether the treatment of addiction is being posited as lying within or outside of val…
On Blowing Up the Pokies
In 1999 The Whitlams, a popular 'indie' band named after a former Australian prime minister whose government was controversially sacked in 1975 by the Governor-General, released a single titled 'Blow up the Pokies'. Written about a former band member's fatal attraction to electronic gaming machines (henceforth referred to as 'pokies'), the song was mixed by a top LA producer, a decision that its writer and The Whitlam's front-man, Tim Freedman, d…
Gambling Drivers
In this article, we analyse intersections between gambling and driving as everyday cultural practices of mobility. Building on Nikolas Rose’s argument that subjects in post‐industrial democratic societies are governed through appeals to ‘freedom’ rather than through overt forms of coercion or organised campaigns of state propaganda, we explore the different ways that producers, regulators and consumer advocates involved in gambling and driving ap…
Talking about Indigenous Gambling and Economic Development in Australia, the US and Canada
This essay examines gambling as one thread of a broader fabric of economic relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. How do these relationships shape the ways gambling is promoted, experienced, regulated and talked about in Australia?; what are the implications of this for the governmentality of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians?; and how are political and cultural processes of racism and white possession involved i…
Comparative Discussion of the Racialized Play of Symbolic Capital in Cultural and Political Economies of Indigenous Gambling in Australia and the United States
This article aims to unsettle a pervasive cultural distinction between gambling – on one hand - and the competitive games of society – on the other - by exploring the role of whiteness as a form of symbolic capital in two different but closely related nations. Rather than following Pierre Bourdieu in relegating gambling to the constitutive outside of neo-liberal cultural and political economies, where sub-proletarian subjects are rendered simulta…
Transnational Whiteness Matters
The collection contributes to transnational whiteness debates through theoretically informed readings of historical and contemporary texts by established and emerging scholars in the field of critical whiteness studies. From a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, the book traces continuity and change in the cultural production of white virtue within texts, from the proud colonial moment through to neoliberalism and the global war on terror in…
High Stakes
In this lucidly written, carefully conceived, persuasively argued and thoroughly researched book, Jessica Cattelino studies the ways that members of the Seminole Indian nation have reconfigured material and symbolic forms of their sovereignty in the casino-era. As such, High Stakes makes a valuable contribution to literature on cultural economy, cultural studies, political economy and cultural history in addition to the author’s home discipline o…
We shall fight them on the beaches
The way in which the patriarchal white sovereignty is exercised through protest is explored in relation to a space of everyday culture. The events at Cronulla is argued to be a protest which had rules and was a form of organised violence underpinned by a rationality of possession although it is described as riots because of the unruly behaviour of predominately white males
