Celebrating 30 years of the CSAA
The Kingdom of Ghosts
Bearing witness is complex, and haunted by the past and the present. It takes place through and within a web of power relations attested by truth telling. This essay suggests that ghosts have the capacity to bear witness beyond the human in the disoriented world of the ganzfeld, presented here in the imbricated histories of Christmas Island. Ghosts offer non-human agency to the living. Their testimonies are reclamations of the world. We argue tha…
Lived Experience
Studying is above all thinking about experience, and thinking about experience is the best
Community, identity, orientation
The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) escalated its community building project significantly over the last decade, culminating in the launch of a reformed and substantially integrated ASEAN Community at the end of 2015. This article considers what might follow from this newly reformed and rhetorically people-focused version of ASEAN for matters of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE). In claiming to be peopl…
Beyond Our Nuclear Entanglement
This essay explores our nuclear entanglement through culture and the environment. It does so through a quilted self-reflexive narrative. The narrator is positioned as a critical human rights activist, and follows the subjective, imaginative and suicidal implications of the nuclear in their life. A key argument is that we are living within the confines of the nuclear algorithm, which has wrought irreversible changes to the psychological, social, a…
Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia
This chapter focuses on lesbian and gay (LG) activism in three neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia: Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The central argument of this chapter is that in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, the extent to which the LG movement has been influenced by the State can be gauged through the way the State regulates and denies homosexuality. Malaysia and Indonesia, for example, are Muslim nations while Singapore is not. In…
Human rights in Papua New Guinea
n\t\t\t\t\tAustralia has had a long, and at times tumultuous, relationship with our nearest neighbour, Papua New Guinea. This relationship took a twist in late 2012, with the re-opening of the off-shore processing centre on Manus Island, and again in February 2014, when Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati was murdered by locals during a violent disturbance at the centre. The latest test of the strength and endurance of the relationship between PNG …
Inside Australian Culture
Queer(y)ing Illiberal Pragmatism in Singapore
Review of Audrey Yue and Jun Zubillaga-Pow (eds), Queer Singapore: Illiberal Citizenship and Mediated Cultures (Hong Kong University Press, Hong Kong, 2012
Queer Activist Intersections in Southeast Asia
The practice of human rights elicits a range of theoretical positions and problems in relation to advocacy across Southeast Asia. This raises questions about the universal nature of human rights, the problem of cultural imperialism and the dynamic of the local and the global. These questions become heightened when connected to queer or LGBT issues. This paper focuses on the intersections of queer scholarship, activism and human rights in relation…
A Scholarly Affair
This special issue is a product of the 2010 Cultural Studies Association of Australasia Annual Conference held at Byron Bay and organised under the auspices of the School of Arts and Social Sciences and the Centre for Peace and Social Justice at Southern Cross University
A scholarly affair
This paper reflects on the conceptual framework of the CSAA 2010 conference, which was focused on the theme of ‘a scholarly affair.’ The argument posed is that cultural studies scholars have an ongoing concern for the difficulties, complexities, challenges, limitations as well as critical, creative and clarifying possibilities bound up in the very institutional and everyday contexts of knowledge and cultural production in which they live, work an…
Into the borderlands
Modern Australia has been defined as an immigrant nation, a settler society that is located in the South and yet is problematically, ontologically and epistemologically oriented towards the North. Australia's colonial experience and trauma – far from being resolved – are characterised by a condition of collective amnesia expressed in social, cultural and psychological boundaries. It is in this landscape that an active and transformative form of c…
Singaporean Queering of the Internet
Homosexual Rights as Human Rights in Indonesia and Australia
This book considers the diversity of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered identities in countries including Korea, Thailand, China, Malaysia, India, Singapore, and the Philippines. Although many Asian cultures borrow the language of the West when discussing queerness, the attitudes, relationships, and roles described are quite different. Some of the topics included in this volume are globalization theory in the context of the Western gay ide…
The burden of (homo)sexual identity in Singapore
This article explores issues that arise out of the confluence of homosexual rights as human rights in the context of the Southeast Asian city‐state of Singapore. The refusal of the Government of Singapore in 1997 to register the nascent, indigenous, gay, lesbian and bisexual group ‘People Like Us’, underscores the position Singapore has taken in relation to the wider public discourse about the difference between Singaporean (Asian) values and tho…
Unfixed in a Fixated World
At the dusk of the twentieth century the confluence of sexuality and the multicultural subject offers a deep interrogation into identity. On the edge of the world, Australia is experiencing a poignant moment of identity crisis. For someone who is from a multicultural, multisexual background, identity is fragmented. Law and society demand unambiguous subjects, fixed by socio-political-cultural mores and expectations. To be unfixed presents difficu…
