Bioprospecting and decolonization of ex situ collections for Indigenous data sovereignty in Australia
Australian government herbariums and museums are repositories of flora and fauna specimens collected from across Australia. This has occurred since before Australia was colonized and to the present time, often by explorers and researchers using Indigenous people’s traditional knowledge to identify and locate culturally significant species. The colonial legacy of Australia is embedded in ex situ collections of biological specimens and related data…

La connaissance des maîtres allemands anciens en France, de Dominique-Vivant Denon à Henri Focillon
La connaissance des vieux maîtres allemands, ceux qu'on a désignés sous le nom de "Primitifs", depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'au milieu du XXe siècle, est le résultat d'un immense travail collectif, où les historiens de l'art, les conservateurs de musées, les critiques, les écrivains, sont venus apporter leur tribut. La France y a joué un rôle fondamental qui mérite une synthèse qui n'a jamais été véritablement faite. Qu'on la qualifie de f…
Biographie d’objet ou réception: Faut-il choisir ? Que faire
Sans doute le terme même de « biographie d’objet » – ou « biographie de marchandise », car telle était la question à son commencement –, est-il fondé sur un paradoxe, difficile à bien comprendre. D’où vient la signification des objets, des marchandises, ou par extension des œuvres d’art ? Peut-on concevoir que du sens puisse être produit par une marchandise ? C’est bien la question qu’avait posée Arjun Appadurai dans son texte désormais classique…
Beyond the deepfake problem: Benefits, risks and regulation of generative AI screen technologies
Australian debates about how to regulate deepfake video have, to date, largely been shaped by STEM agendas for generative artificial intelligence (AI) policy and public fears about disinformation intensification. As the federal government consults on AI regulation, this article aims to move policymakers' focus beyond the deepfake 'problem' to investigate the implications of generative AI screen technologies from two creative industries perspectiv…
The future of public service media
How relevant are Australia’s public service broadcasters, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Special Broadcasting Service (SBS)/National Indigenous Television (NITV), in an era when young audiences are turning to global streaming services and social media for entertainment, education and news? This chapter looks at the evolution of these organisations and their core values and roles and the competition and criticisms they face. It …
Accessing drug treatment programs in Atlantic Canada: The experiences of people who use substances
People who use substances (PWUS) (e.g. inject substances) are at risk of many harms. Various services help reduce risks including drug treatment programs such as withdrawal management and opioid agonist treatment. Much of the research on PWUS’ experiences of treatment programs is set in large urban centers creating a knowledge gap of experiences in other places. Our study helps address this gap by exploring PWUS’ experiences of treatment programs…
Digital Platform Regulation: Global Perspectives on Internet Governance
This Open Access volume provides an in-depth exploration of global policy and governance issues related to digital platform regulation.
Retours sur la journée d’étude et l'atelier doctoral tenus à la Casa de Velàzquez le 30 mai 2022
Le lundi 30 mai, une journée d’études franco-allemande s’est tenue à la Casa de Velàzquez : elle portait sur le thème « Les traces du passé ». La plupart des interventions au programme se sont focalisées sur ce que les organisateurs ont appelé des « buttes-témoins d’événements historiques à jamais révolus. » L’enjeu était l’analyse de ce que nous entendons par « traces » ou par « marques » du passé, et d’étudier la pratique de ces « marques » dan…
User needs and the building blocks of regulation: Using participatory design to prototype social enterprise legal structures in Australia
Although co-design is acknowledged as an emerging tool in public administration for use in program or service system design, it has not been widely applied to complex policy spheres, such as law and regulation. In the context of policy development for the field of social enterprise, we explored the use of co-design as a facilitation method to elicit end-users’ experience of regulation and to generate options for reform. Specifically, this involve…
Visibility, Connectivity, Agency: Journalism’s Prospects in an Age of Automated Social News Sharing
The visibility of news on social media platforms is now as much mediated by opaque algorithmic power as quantifiable social news sharing. As public interest journalism has been transformed and even held to ransom by platformization, and its metrification of news value, there are ways for the news media to reassert their significance and independence, while building the post-scale engagement necessary to sustain its move from advertising to audien…
Negotiating the Conversation: How Journalists Learn to Interact with Audiences Online
This paper investigates how young Australian journalists have developed their knowledge of online interaction strategies and how well they feel they manage the challenges of conversations with audiences in comments sections and on social media platforms. It presents the results of a small snowball sample survey and follow-up semi-structured interviews of recent graduates from six universities, working across print, broadcast and social media, exp…
Return of the regulatory state: A stakeholder analysis of Australia’s Digital Platforms Inquiry and online news policy
In this paper, we undertake a stakeholder analysis of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Digital Platforms Inquiry to understand the nature and influence of different forms of public input. Our findings show that nation-state regulation of digital platforms is now very much on the policy agenda worldwide, with a focus upon the competition policy dimensions of platform regulation. The second key finding is that the regulatory act…

Internet regulation as media policy: Rethinking the question of digital communication platform governance
This article identifies the current global ‘techlash’ towards the major digital and social media platforms as providing the context for a renewed debate about whether these digital platform companies are effectively media companies (publishers and broadcasters of media content), and implications this has for twenty-first-century media policy. It identifies content moderation as a critical site around which such debates are being played out, and c…
An international approach to establishing a Competent Authority to manage and protect traditional knowledge
This article discusses the establishment of a Competent Authority in accordance with the Nagoya Protocol to ensure that traditional knowledge of Indigenous communities is accessed subject to free, prior and informed consent and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of such use. It builds on research expressing the view that the design and development of a Competent Authority should take a grass roots approach. It analyses the aut…
Engagement and interaction with online news: A case study of housing affordability discussions on Facebook
Concerns about housing affordability in Australian capital cities have captured the public and political imagination. How, then, do ordinary citizens discuss the causes of and solutions to the increasing unaffordability of housing? This article examines evidence that branded Facebook channels provide a space for citizens to engage in everyday engagement and interaction on housing issues. We argue that studying branded, public Facebook pages, desp…
Sharing News Online: Social media news analytics and their implications for media pluralism policies
While the term churnalism in this special issue speaks to the negative impacts of extensive news re-use, one pervasive form of news redistribution, social media news sharing, has had the more positive connotations of creative engagement, political participation and cross-promotion. Yet this reading of commendary culture is, as José Van Dijck suggests, largely ideological, anchored in the Silicon Valley rhetorics that support the data capture, dat…
Digital Transformations: Gendering the End User in Digital Government Policy
Digital government strategies espouse user-centric design and citizen participation, but it is unclear how they explicitly address the needs of women, who are significant users of health, social welfare, and aged-care services. This article analyzes how Australia's 2015 Digital Transformations initiative, based on the British Gov.uk program, attends to international benchmarks for gender equality and empowerment in ICT policy. It finds gender awa…
Mobile public service media in Australia: Ubiquity and its consequences
This article examines the roots and consequences of public service broadcasters’ strategic commitment to digital universalism and the ‘anything, anywhere, anytime’ paradigm of mobile media delivery. Using policy analysis, expert interviews and case studies it traces the adaptation of national public service broadcaster to global information capital, linking broadcasters’ pursuit of multiplatform ubiquity with competition policy, the rise of ubiqu…
The Blossoming of Public Benevolent Institutions: From ‘Direct’ Providers to Global Networks
Public benevolent institutions ('PBIs') form a class of not-for-profit ('NFP') entities that is entitled to various taxation concessions. The PBI concept was originally adopted in order to deliver selected tax benefits to a narrower group of NFPs than charities, given the wide legal meaning of 'charitable'. As well as being eligible for income tax exemption like charities, PBIs can be deductible gift recipients ('DGR'), which means that donors ma…
Locative News: Mobile media, place informatics, and digital news
Location, locality, and localism have long been important characteristics of news, but their functions have been given a dramatic twist with the advent of locative, mobile media. The capabilities of mobile media devices to determine, sense, incorporate, and conjure with the relative locations of reporting and audiences have emerged as key to alternative, small- and large-scale networked news-gathering and dissemination ventures. This paper explor…

Pulling Together the Abc: The Role of ABC Online
Public service broadcasters facing multiple threats to their existence are simultaneously grappling with their transition to an era of digital broadcasting and networked information services. At stake is the continued need for a 'public sphere' in an increasingly diversified, commodified mediascape. This article draws on interviews with key ABC personnel between 1997 and 1998, press reports and relevant academic literature to examine the developm…

David Freedberg. Le Pouvoir des images
L’ambition théorique et l’ampleur des perspectives construites par Freedberg dans Le Pouvoir des images en font un des efforts récents les plus notables d’élargissement du champ de l’histoire de l’art. Le pari méthodologique de Freedberg réside dans le choix de la longue durée et l’insistance sur la permanence des attitudes devant les images. La distribution des chapitres, commandée par l’examen de problèmes, et non par une chronologie, contraste…
"The Drawing Underlying the Text? On Meyer Schapiro's "Words and Images
The French publication of Meyer Schapiro’s essay Les Mots et les images opens with the reproduction of a Selfportrait of the Author produced in 1923 —a magnificent drawing of a face whose wide open eyes stare out at us. Schapiro, who was an accomplished draughtsman, was, as we know, a friend of many artists: Hélion, Motherwell, De Kooning, Rothko. He was also teacher to Ad Reinhardt, Judd, Segal, and others. This certainly has a knock-on effect f…
Le Dessin sous-jacent du texte ? A propos des "mots et des images" de Meyer Schapiro
L’édition française de l’essai de Meyer Schapiro, Les Mots et les images, s’ouvre sur la reproduction d’un Autoportrait de l’auteur, réalisé en 1923 –un magnifique dessin d’un visage dont les yeux largement ouverts regardent fixement vers nous. Dessinateur accompli, Schapiro fut, on le sait, l’ami de nombreux artistes : Hélion, Motherwell, De Kooning, Rothko. Il fut également le professeur d’Ad Reinhardt, Judd, Segal et d’autres encore. Cela ne f…
Posséder et détruire: Stratégies sexuelles dans l'art d'Occident
Il y a quelques années, dans les actes d’un colloque resté fameux, Régis Michel pouvait, par delà l’apologie de la pluralité des discours, se réclamer de la “non-histoire de l’art”. Ce “catalogue d’exposition” –les guillemets sont nécessaires ici plus qu’ailleurs, tant l’auteur a pour habitude de remettre en question les genres établis ou conventionnels– s’ouvre sur un “petit traité de la contre-exposition”, lequel rassemble quelques notions clés…
Denys Riout. Qu'est-ce que l'art moderne
Dans cet ouvrage, Denys Riout propose une vaste introduction à l’histoire des avant-gardes au XXe siècle. Le choix de la clarté dans l’exposition et le ton même de l’auteur rapprochent le livre de ce que pourrait être un cours synthétique sur la genèse historique, la succession et l’épuisement des principaux paradigmes modernistes dans l’art contemporain. S’ouvrant sur la célèbre affaire “Brancusi” en 1927, opposant l’importateur de l’Oiseau dans…
Où en est l'interprétation de l'œuvre d'art
A lire les pages qui introduisent cette suite ambitieuse d’essais, on se dit que l’ouvrage aurait pu s’intituler “misère de l’histoire de l’art”. Prolongeant un cycle de conférences tenues au musée du Louvre, en 1998, sous la direction de Régis Michel, Où en est l’interprétation de l’œuvre d’art ? reflète quelques-uns des courants les plus dynamiques de l’histoire de l’art anglo-saxonne, dans les années 1990. Les huit longues études ici rassemblé…
Fibres tressées
Transparence et opacité de Philippe Junod est une des explorations les plus abouties, les plus fascinantes et vertigineuses des sources théoriques de l’art moderne. Ecrit entre 1968 et 1971, publié en 1975, cet épais volume avait alors pour ambition de « poser quelques jalons pour une “archéologie” des esthétiques occidentales » (p. 13). La discrète allusion à Michel Foucault suggérait sans doute la volonté de l’auteur de n’accorder aucun privilè…
Braided Fibres
Transparence et opacit is one of the most comprehensive, fascinating and dizzy-making explorations of the theoretical sources of modern art. Written between 1968Written between and 1971Written between , and published in 1975, the goal, back then, of this stout volume was to "posit a few milestones for an 'archaeology' of western aesthetics" (p.13). The discreet allusion to Michel Foucault probably suggested the author's wish to grant no privilege…

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Use of Charities as a Structure to Receive Mining Payments: An Evaluation of the Rationale Through Three Case Studies
This article evaluates the use of charitable structures by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who receive mining payments, which are then used for community benefit. It analyses the various reasons for this usage, including the exemption from income tax of the mining payment and income generated from its investment, the flexibility in size and operational structure of charities and their cooperative nature. The use of the charitable structure…
