Symbolic estates: Community Identity and Empowerment Through Heritage
Heritage is important for the social and cultural health of communities, whilst local stewardship of cultural heritage has the capacity to empower and recover cultural identity. This paper describes a recent project in Lakhnu – a small rural village in Uttar Pradesh, India – to restore a nineteenth century villa formerly used as the village school as an educational facility. In this discussion, we draw attention to the right of groups to manage t…
Fifty-two doors: Identifying cultural significance through narrative and nostalgia in Lakhnu village
This paper proposes an alternative way of evaluating heritage values in the assessment of an abandoned school building in Lakhnu, a small rural Indian village in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Its aim is to re-think the appropriateness of professionally assessed methodologies, such as the Australian ICOMOS Burra Charter, and find others which are more inclusive and sensitive of community views and aspirations. Villagers claim this building as a key …
The Dreams and Visions of Aelius Aristides: A Case-Study in the History of Religions
An analysis of the religious experiences of the Greco-Roman sophist, Aelius Aristides. As a member of the cult of Asclepius, Aristides recorded his nocturnal dreams, waking visions and spiritual healings in a diary entitled the Sacred Tales. A study of this diary sheds light on the spiritual environment of the Roman world in the first and second century CE.
Forgetting, sacrifice, and trauma in the Western Australian State War Memorial
Built in 1929, the Western Australian State War Memorial was not the grand structure that many wanted, and its construction was hindered by the resounding failure of two appeals for funds from an apparently apathetic public. State government and city authorities refused to assist unless the memorial was utilitarian, a stance deeply opposed by a State War Memorial Committee committed to a monument and shrine. However, the familiar debate about uti…

Learning from Your Neighbor: The Value of Public Participation Evaluation For Public Policy Dispute Resolution
Public policy dispute resolution [PPDR] and public participation [PP] are closely related fields of practice. Despite many similarities, we identify gaps in most evaluation studies conducted in the two fields. Evaluators of PPDR can better draw upon PP evaluations.The values, concepts, objectives, and practices of PP and PPDR are compared for similarities and differences. Focusing on the last 15 years, PPDR and PP evaluation literature is analyze…
Remembrance and Commemoration through Honour Avenues and Groves in Western Australia
Like other countries of the British Empire, war commemoration and war memorial building pervaded Australia after the Great War. Anxious to remember war dead Australian cities and towns chose to erect masonry monuments or buildings to remember those of the district who had died or served. Alternatives existed in the form a tree-lined avenue with each tree representing a soldier or sometimes a nurse. This activity was reinforced by the established …
New world orders and the dystopian turn: Transforming visions of territoriality and belonging in recent Australian children's fiction
Through the 1990s and into the new millennium, Australian children's literature responded to a conservative turn epitomised by the Howard government and to new world order imperatives of democracy, the market economy, globalisation, and the IT revolution. These responses are evidenced in the ways that children's fiction speaks to the problematics of representation and cultural identity and to possible outcomes of devastating historical and recent…
The Ghosts of Menin Gate: Art, Architecture and Commemoration
Straddling the Meensestraat through the old ramparts of Ypres in Belgium is the Menin Gate. Designed by the architect Reginald Blomfield in 1922, this building commemorates the 56,000 British Empire missing from the battles of the Ypres Salient during the first world war. This solemn memorial has significance and commemorative meaning to relatives of those whose names appeared on the structure. Responding to an eerie vision at the Gate in 1927, t…
Memory, Commemoration and the Meaning of a Suburban War Memorial
War memorials are a significant feature of the Australian landscape. Thousands were erected after the First World War in towns and suburbs across the nation as a community focus for memory, grief, and pride of their soldiers lost in the war. The Victoria Park memorial in Perth, Western Australia, originally constructed in 1917, before the war ended, and replaced in 1957, was a small suburban memorial that was born in the enthusiasm of Empire and …
Diasporan Subjectivity and Cultural Space in Korean American Picture Books
The "Third Wave" of Korean Immigration to the United States, following the liberalizing of National Quotas under the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, was characterized by a significant shift in the migrant profile, in that families immigrated as well as individuals,1 and this pattern has continued. Consequently, the literature produced by (and about) members of the Korean diaspora in the United States began to give expression to the experience of children a…
Publication Rates of Male and Female Academic Clinical Psychologists in California
Compared here was the publication rate of men and women surveyed by mail (480 academic clinical psychologists in California) regarding number of publications, self-perception of their role of researcher versus teacher, variables related to research opportunity (grants, time spent in research), and type of institution in which they are employed. The men had 1.6 as many publications per year as did the women, and the semipartial correlation was -.2…

Evoking Empathy: Structures of Language and Feeling in Robert Gray’s Poetry
At the heart of Robert Gray's poetic practices and of his comments on the writing of poetry lies a concern with the nature and functions of the relationship between words and things which is grounded in an insistence that language is directly referential. Further, this notion of referentiality underlies three concepts which are, for some kinds of poetry, closely interconnected in poetic theory and practice and which are essential components of Gr…
Authorial Revision and Constraints on the Role of the Reader: Some Examples from Wilfred Owen
In recent decades, the debate about the role of the reader in the creation of meaning in a literary work, if viewed diachronically, has tended to shift from a position in which the meaning was seen as inhering in the work itself as object, with the reader as passive recipient, to one in which the reader's subjective response to the unfolding text is the action which is crucial. Hence variability of interpretation is inevitable, since no two reade…
