Sacred Marriage
A. Marina Aguilar’s Alchemy of the Heart: The Sacred Marriage of Dionysos & Ariadne offers a study of the archetypal myth of Dionysos through the lens of Jung’s spiritual alchemy. Focusing on the sacred marriage of Dionysos and Ariadne, the author illuminates the journey to wholeness, both horizontal and vertical, that culminates in the coniunctio of opposites, which has the power to heal not only a broken psyche on the road to individuation but …
Community, Social Capital and Indigenous Health in the Northern Territory
The constitution of Indigenous society as a series of 'communities' and the orientation of primary health care policy towards 'capacity building' has the effect, if not the intention, of depoliticising Indigenous health, whilst reproducing, legitimising and mystifying relations of white dominance and permitting the maintenance of a health service delivery system for Indigenous people which, in relation to need, is grotesquely underfunded and inca…
Uncovering the Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease among Indigenous People
We conclude that an appropriate methodology for the elucidation of the aetiology, and sequelae of CVD in Indigenous people, would go far beyond 'black box' epidemiology, would recognise the essentially social nature of chronic disease by deploying appropriate social theory within a transdisciplinary framework and would centre Indigenous people as the dominant partner in the research process
The Australian state and Indigenous people 1990-2006
This article examines the changing ways in which the Commonwealth government has addressed its Indigenous 'problem' over the last 16 years. The essence of the problem is that Commonwealth governments of any sort need to be seen to be active in addressing Indigenous poverty and marginalization but are unwilling to make a commitment sufficient to make a fundamental difference since there is little electoral advantage (and much electoral risk) in do…

Ethnicity and race in drug and alcohol research
This article reviews the (predominantly American) research literature on the ethnic and ‘racial’ aspects of drug and alcohol use over the last thirty years. The main conclusion to emerge from this review is a substantial disjuncture between theory and practice. Over the last twenty years there has been a sustained theoretical critique of approaches which utilize broad ethnic and ‘racial’ categories as the basis of epidemiological comparison, and …
Year One of a new Partnership
On January 17, 2003, Helene-Marie Gosselin, Director of the UNESCO Office of the Caribbean, and Professor the Hon. Rex Nettleford, Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies, signed a Memorandum of Understanding for UNESCO and UWI to cooperate in the field of HIV/AIDS and Education, particularly in the areas of research, advocacy, training and publications. The MOU is one of the first of its kind for UNESCO globally. UNESCO was given sp…
The social determinants of Indigenous health
This paper starts by sketching the main dimensions of what I term the catastrophe of Indigenous health with special reference to the Northern Territory of Australia. It then subjects current research on this topic to critical analysis and finds the bulk of this work is deficient in that it is indifferent to social theory and dominated by a simplistic quantitative positivism which is incapable of capturing the complex aetiology and pathways of chr…
Poverty and Indigenous health
This paper reviews the most recent literature on Indigenous income, noting pitfalls in applying standard poverty research techniques to Indigenous society. The purpose of this review is to derive the best estimates available of the income level of Indigenous people in Australia, an estimate which is then used as the basis for a series of tests of the efficacy of this variable as a predictor of Indigenous mortality. The conclusion is that, althoug…

The uses of culture
The Bicentenary and the failure of Australian nationalism
This article is an excerpt from the book: Mistaken Identity - Multiculturalism and the Demise of Nationalism in Australia, published by Pluto Press, Sydney in February 1988. This excerpt concentrates on the ideological side of the issue. The book also deals with the material basis of nationalism and its relation to developments in the political economy of world capitalism, and of Australia
Migrants and unemployment
The Importance of Northern Ireland for Criminal Justice Research in Great Britain
This paper introduces the special Ulster issue of the Journal . It argues that Ulster offers enough similarities with other jurisdictions in the British Isles to enable comparison, and enough distinctive features to make such comparison interesting. The papers in the issue are briefly commented upon. This paper goes on to identify a number of topics not dealt with in this issue where comparative research may be fruitful. These include: conditiona…
The Black Criminal Justice System in West Belfast
A parallel is drawn between the black economy, which mirrors conventional economic activity, and the black criminal justice system, which is an unofficial system of punishments mirroring the official system. The system under investigation in this exploratory paper is that administered by the Provisional I.R.A. in Catholic West Belfast. Many parallels between the system administered by the I.R.A. and the State system are identified, including the …
