Gang Girls, the Street Corner, and “New Urban Frontiers”
Along with urban sociologists identified with the Chicago School, William F. Whyte in his Street Corner Society sought to understand street gangs and political networks in the poor neighborhoods of American cities, 1910–1945. To varying degrees these sociologists marginalized women. Furthermore, and despite claims that their theories could be universalized, they rarely considered cities beyond the United States. Their incomplete accounts can be e…

South Asian cities share a contested late colonial history.Calcutta (Kolkata) occupies a distinctive place in their emergence as modernising urban centres.Instead of viewing changes in Calcutta's markets merely as the products of colonial and racial hierarchies-or as the product of modernisation-mental maps of people moving through these spaces inform a deeper understanding.Attempts by the Calcutta municipality to 'modernise' markets using Europe…
First Nations Australians in the Nineteenth-Century Italian Imaginary
In this article, a migration historian, a Dja Dja Wurrung storyteller, and a long-time local combine their insights to analyse an encounter on the colonial frontier between a Clan of the Dja Dja Wurrung, on their Country, and the Italian Raffaello Carboni, the summer before he took a leading part in the Eureka uprising. Gilburnia, the long-lost pantomime Carboni published back in Rome two decades later, is hitherto unrecognised evidence of the cu…
A Most Manly and Amusing Game
Formed in the 1850s frontier contact zone, Australian Football owes more to the experiences of the skirmishes between white settlers and Indigenous Australians than is usually recognised. If we reassess the historical sources from a Deleuzo-Guattarian perspective, we observe that the ‘Game of Our Own’ is a mix of British and Indigenous styles of warfare. The four men who drafted the rules of this new ‘most manly and amusing game’ were misfits fro…

An Australian Perspective on the Humanities
As elsewhere in the Anglophone world, there has been a serious contraction in public funding for the teaching of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Australian universities during the 1990s. Although staff morale has suffered and class sizes have grown, the level of innovation in undergraduate teaching has risen and student assessments of how they are taught have improved. Certain disciplines in the Humanities have prospered during this decade;…

Admission to Australian Universities
Australian Universities have been historically reluctant to pursue innovative methods of student selection and recruitment. The development of a national market in the higher education market provides the opportunity for ‘open access’ universities to embark on strategies of recruitment based on the experience and practices of certain North American institutions

Italian miners and the second‐generation ‘Britishers’ at Kalgoorlie, Australia∗
This article studies the 1934 Kalgoorlie riot in Western Australia by placing the event in the wider social context of the period. The immediate cause of the riot was the killing of a local sports hero by an Italian barman. The rioters were descendants of English colonists and the object of their violence were the people of Southern European descent. They burned Southern European business. The government of Wester Australia acted in such a way th…
