Rethinking posthumanism in rehabilitation science
Posthumanism is a theoretical paradigm in Western continental philosophy with emerging significance and popularity in the health disciplines. Rehabilitation science scholars in fields like occupational therapy and physical therapy have taken up posthumanism, valuing its interventions into the harms of European humanist conceptualizations of the "(hu)man" which perpetuate individualism, ableism, and anthropocentrism. This paper responds to the per…

Factors Shaping the Lived Experience of Resettlement for Former Refugees in Regional Australia
Refugees experience traumatic life events with impacts amplified in regional and rural areas due to barriers accessing services. This study examined the factors influencing the lived experience of resettlement for former refugees in regional Launceston, Australia, including environmental, social, and health-related factors. Qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with adult and youth community members from Burma, Bhutan, Sierra Leo…
Simply providing information”
Obstetric ultrasound is key to opposing ways of valuing foetuses, that is, both to the ascription of foetal personhood and to foetal selection and termination of pregnancy. Whilst ultrasound images are increasingly common within the public sphere there has been relatively little public discussion of its role in identifying actual or potential foetal anomaly and the consequences of this. This paper examines how professionals working with obstetric…
Ambiguous Encounters, Uncertain Foetuses
We examine pregnant women's experiences with routinised obstetric ultrasound as entailed in their antenatal care during planned pregnancies. This paper highlights the ambiguity of ultrasound technology in the constitution of maternal-foetal connections. Our analysis focusses on Australian women's experiences of the ontological, aesthetic and epistemological ambiguities afforded by ultrasound. We argue that these ambiguities offer possibilities fo…
The Missing Work of Collaboration
How do antidepressants work? This often-asked question continues to attract debate. The depressed individual features in many debates about antidepressants' action. With this focus, discussion oscillates over whether antidepressants work to remedy chemical imbalances in the brains of depressed people, or produce inauthentic states of being. This article argues shifting the analytic focus away from the depressed individual and onto the collective …
Orientating to Assembling
A key concern for qualitative inquiry is finding ways to account for nonhuman and emergent forms of life. Toward this, researchers are experimenting with research practices that decenter the human subject. Deleuze's (1977) assemblage concept has proved a useful resource for these methodological experiments. Most often, the assemblage concept has informed analysis and writing processes. This article puts the assemblage concept to work during each …

Tobacco control advocates expend considerable effort in generating newsstories on tobacco issues to assist progress in tobacco control, and the newscoverage itself may have important policy and behavioral influences. Yet,studies of trends in such news coverage are uncommon. Between 2001 and2006, we conducted a content analysis of tobacco-related newspaper articlesin the 12 major daily Australian newspapers and coded them for type ofarticle, topic…
Changes in the news representation of smokers and tobacco-related media advocacy from 1995 to 2005 in Australia
BACKGROUND: This study aims to show how smokers were represented in smoking-related news articles, editorials, letters and columns in a major Australian newspaper over an 11-year period from January 1995 to December 2005. METHODS: Qualitative content analysis was conducted on a sample of 618 articles to identify 21 representational categories (RCs) of the smoker. Articles were also examined for statements that lent organisational support to eithe…
Stay away from them until you’re old enough to make a decision”
Stated concerns about youth smoking and youth smoking prevention programmes are put forward in litigation as evidence that the tobacco industry is "serious" about tackling youth smoking, and serve as a primary strategy to improve the tobacco industry's public image. The tobacco industry's evaluation of the effectiveness of their youth smoking prevention programmes is demonstrably insufficient under current public health evaluation standards. Publ…
Australian Letters to the Editor on Tobacco
News coverage of tobacco issues influences both individual behavior change and policy progression. Thus, media advocacy is increasingly recognized as important for promoting public health. Letters to the editor (LTE) are a basic form of media advocacy, serving to demonstrate community sentiment on a given issue. Such letters are yet to receive systematic analytic consideration. The authors conducted an ethnographic content analysis of LTE on toba…

Tobacco in the news
Coverage of events and opinions related to tobacco in Australian newspapers in 2001 was generally positive for tobacco control objectives. Given that over 2 million individuals (out of a population of 19 million) were potentially exposed to tobacco related newspaper articles per day in Australia, this represents good news for tobacco control advocates. The variation in news coverage in different States and at different times in the year, however,…
