  • Meaning Motifs in Young Australians’ Future Life Stories

    Chilla BulbeckARTICLELife Writing2012References: 7

    As compared with life writing which expresses the writer’s shifting understanding of past events, little has been written concerning the analysis of ‘life writing’ about the future. As well as reflecting on some of the issues involved in analysing such an artefact, the article explores the gender and class patterns of the five ‘meaning motifs’ found in the imagined life story essays written by 750 young Australians between 2000 and 2007: love, fu…

  • Facing the Wild: Ecotourism, Conservation and Animal Encounters

    Chilla BulbeckBOOKFacing the Wild2012Cited by: 4

    What do wild animals mean to humans? Will they survive both rampant habitat loss and extinction caused by human encroachment and, as ecotourists, our enthusiasm for them? With ecotourism now the fastest growing segment of tourism, and encounters with wild animals - be it swimming with dolphins, going on safari or bird watching - ever more popular, these are critical questions. Yet until now little has been known about why people crave encounters …

  • Unpopularising Feminism: ‘Blaming Feminism’ in the Generation Debate and the Mother Wars

    Open AccessChilla BulbeckARTICLESociology Compass2010Cited by: 1References: 11

    Over the last three decades, ‘blaming feminism’ has been a strong thread in two popular debates concerning the women’s movement. The first is the generation debate, between second‐wave baby‐boomer feminists and the third wave or generation × feminists. Third‐wave feminists blame second‐wave feminists for sabotaging women’s potential by taking on the mantle of ‘victim’ feminism; second‐wave feminists retort that third wavers embrace an individuali…

  • Fond of cooking, interested in studies, a good daughter

    Open AccessChilla BulbeckARTICLEContributions to Indian Sociology2010Cited by: 2References: 10

    Between 2000 and 2007, as part of a larger study in ten countries, questionnaires were administered to largely middle-class respondents in seven cities in India, China, Japan and Australia. Although the Indian and Chinese samples are small, particularly in relation to the population of these two most numerous countries in the world, a comparison of the ways in which young people described themselves offers intriguing insights concerning the gende…

  • Ambivalent globalization, amorphous vulnerable nationalism: Considering debates about nation and national positioning within the global from the point of view of young Australians

    Open AccessChris Beasley, Chilla Bulbeck et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sociology2010Cited by: 2References: 18

    Debates about nation and national positioning within the global exemplified in the Australian culture, history and literacy 'wars' have tended to be definitive and apparently oppositional in tone. Yet these debates have proceeded in the absence of a concretized notion of Australian identity and do not adequately address the complexities of political identification and allegiance. Despite intense concerns in these 'wars' about the views of young p…

  • Sex, Love and Feminism in the Asia Pacific: A Cross-Cultural Study of Young People's Attitudes

    Chilla BulbeckBOOKSex, love and feminism in the…2008

    ‘Sex, love and feminism’ are three aspects of the rapidly changing gender relations that shape young people’s lives in the Asia Pacific region. Much has been written about rapidly changing countries in Asia, most recently China and India. With the global spread of capitalist production and neo-liberal ideologies, the claim that the rest of the world’s women are treading the path to enlightenment and development forged by women in the West has bee…

  • The Faroes Grindadráp or Pilot Whale Hunt: The Importance of it's 'Traditional' Status in Debates with Conservationists

    Chilla Bulbeck, Sandra BowdlerARTICLEAustralian Archaeology2008

    The intense debates between whale-hunting and whale-protecting nations (such as Japan and Iceland versus Australia and the USA) reveal the difficulties of communication between those who derive a livelihood from the products of the environment and those who wish to preserve it, but who do not always live in the same locale. This is demonstrated with a review of some Australian instances of relations between those in the conservation movement and …

  • Engendering Origins: Theories of Gender in Sociology and Archaeology

    Jane Balme, Chilla BulbeckARTICLEAustralian Archaeology2008Cited by: 1References: 34

    Feminist knowledge and its impact on other academic disciplines arose in the 1970s, but it has had an uneven impact in different disciplines. We argue that gender as a theoretical concept has challenged both sociology and archaeology but analyses of gender practices and embodiment which challenge the homogenous categories of ‘women’ and ‘men’ have made much less impact in archaeology – particularly the archaeology of deep time. The paper conclude…

  • The Mighty Pillar of the Family’: Young People's Vocabularies on Household Gender Arrangements in the Asia‐Pacific Region

    Open AccessChilla BulbeckARTICLEGender Work and Organization2005Cited by: 11References: 2

    In the light of women's increased labour force participation and the demands of western feminism for men's participation in housework and childcare, this article analyses vocabularies on these issues among young people in Australia, USA and Canada and seven countries in Asia. While very few young people in any of the samples use explicitly feminist justifications for their statements, there is high support for sharing housework when both partners…

  • The 'white worrier' in South Australia: Attitudes to multiculturalism, immigration and reconciliation

    Open AccessChilla BulbeckARTICLEJournal of Sociology2004Cited by: 10References: 4

    In his analysis of 'paranoid nationalism', Hage (2003: xii, 2) coins the figure of the 'white worrier' to identify how white Australians marginalized by the inequalities of economic rationalism and globalization displace their anxieties onto even weaker 'others', Aboriginal people and migrants, particularly refugees. Hage's ideas are applied to the discourses used by young South Australians when they discuss Australian multiculturalism, immigrati…

    This paper is a reflection on my experiences in teaching ‘Gender in a Postcolonial World,’ based on my book Reorienting Western Feminisms. In this article, I explore how difficult it is to discuss the differences between women without falling into a dualistic contrast between ‘us’ and ‘them,’ I discuss several approaches, including Isabelle Gunning's notion of world traveling and Gayatri Spivak's idea of strategic essentialism. The article conclu…

  • The 'nature dispositions' of visitors to animal encounter sites in Australia and New Zealand

    Open AccessChilla BulbeckARTICLEJournal of Sociology1999Cited by: 3References: 9

    This paper analyses the results of a survey of visitors to nine animal encounter sites in Australia and New Zealand to assess whether visitors' orientations to nature are related to the extent of 'naturalness' or 'authenticity' of the animal encounter A concept of 'nature dispositions' was adapted from Bourdieu's (1984) notion of aesthetic dispositions for this purpose. Visitors' nature dispositions are not simply related to the extent to which t…
