Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Two Political Ecological Perspectives
Australian Coal
Many Australians view themselves as living in a "lucky country" because it has an abundance of mineral resources. James Goodman and David Worth, however, maintain that the mining boom has been a "curse" in disguise. It has sharpened socioeconomic and community divisions, contributed to political conflict, and resulted in "ecological mal-development" with serious environmental consequences. This applies to coal in that it not only contributes to a…
Academic and Political Responsibility in Confronting Climate Change
The notion of responsibility has become part and parcel of climate change discourse. Roberts and Parks (2007:135), for example, seek to address three questions: "Who is responsible for climate change? What are the different ways of accounting for responsibility? Who is making progress toward resolving the problem?" In their view, climate change is an issue of global inequality: "inequality in who is suffering from the problem, who caused it in th…
The Australian Dominative Medical System
This paper posits a working or tentative model of medical pluralism, a pattern in which multiple medical sub‐systems co‐exist, or what I term the Australian dominative medical system. I argue that whereas the Australian medical system with its various medical sub‐systems was pluralistic, that is more or less on an equal footing, in the nineteenth century, by the early twentieth century it became a plural or dominative one in the sense that biomed…
Global Warming as a By‐product of the Capitalist Treadmill of Production and Consumption—The Need for an Alternative Global System
The Emergence of Integrative Medicine in Australia
In this article, I examine the process by which some biomedical physicians and nurses in Australia have come to adopt various alternative therapies in their regimens of practice, largely in response to (1) the growing interest on the part of many Australians in what is generally called "complementary medicine", and (2) a recognition that biomedicine is not particularly effective in treating an array of chronic ailments. Some Australian biomedical…

Commentary the Corporate University is not an Ivory Tower
U.S. universities, as well as universities in other advanced capitalist countries, have increasingly come to function as resource bases for corporations, in part as a response to funding cutbacks by state and federal governments and corporate-based foundations. According to Robert Ovetz in "Assailing the Ivory Tower: Student Struggles and the Entrepreneurialization of the University," (Our Generation 24(1):71-95. 1993), "[u]niversities have not s…

The Tripartite Division of Labor in U. S. Higher Education
The Black Churches of Brooklyn
The Rise and Fall of the German Democratic Republic
In a well-known argument, "Can the Subaltern Speak?", Marxist-deconstructionist critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak raises complex questions about the ways in which scholars, writers, and historians from the Western elite aspire to give "voice" to the colonial subjects, the third world subalterns, of their first world societies. Are there techniques by which such authors might allow subaltern subjects to represent themselves with maximum authentici…
