Mechanisms through which befriending services may impact the health of older adults: A dyadic qualitative investigation
Befriending services are often delivered to older adults with a view to improving social connectedness, but they may also lead to improved health. The objective of the current study was to explore potential mechanisms through which befriending services might impact the health of older adults. Data were collected from 13 befriendee-befriender dyads ( n = 26), using a constructivist grounded theory and dyadic analytic approach. Potential mechanisms…

Rare books? The divided field of reading and book culture in contemporary Australia
This paper investigates Australians’ reading tastes and engagement with books and book culture. We examine data from the Australian Cultural Fields survey for evidence of a ‘reading class’ in contemporary Australia. The space of Australian reading as illustrated by multiple correspondence analysis shows demarcated spaces of reading engagement and disengagement, zones of consuming fiction and non-fiction and varying levels of involvement with book…

This paper examines the similarities and differences between the cultural tastes and practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and non-Indigenous Australians as evidenced by the relationships between the main sample and an Indigenous sample recruited by a 2015 national survey. It does so in order to identify the respects in which Indigenous tastes are distinctive in relation to (i) cultural practices with an Indigenous reference, (ii) c…
Test article: Serving ‘a male philosophy’? *Elizabeth Costello*’s Feminism and Coetzee’s Dialogues with Joyce
Serving ‘a Male Philosophy’? *Elizabeth Costello*’s Feminism and Coetzee’s Dialogues with Joyce
In this essay, I show that J. M. Coetzeeâ s Elizabeth Costello is shaped fundamentally by an engagement with Joyceâ s Ulysses. However, the relationship between the two does not reveal itself in the rewriting of Joyceâ s â Penelopeâ that Costelloâ s literary and feminist reputation relies on, but through a range of references to â Scylla and Charybdisâ , the ninth episode of Ulysses set in the National Library of Ireland and populated exclusively…
One Decade, Two Accounts: The Aboriginal Arts Board and ‘Aboriginal literature’, 1973-1983
In 1983, a decade after the establishment of the Aboriginal Arts Board (AAB), the Australia Council published a report that presented two competing accounts of the purpose, character and future of â Aboriginal literatureâ . The first part of the document assembled a detailed, approving survey of Indigenous creative writers and advocated continuing support for their activities. The second doubted the utility of a focus on creativity, urging instea…
Transforming cultures? From Creative Nation to Creative Australia
This article introduces the Special Issue, 'Transforming Cultures? From Creative Nation to Creative Australia'. Taking its historical reference point from the 1994 national cultural policy Creative Nation, it outlines the issue's theoretical foundation in the field theory of Pierre Bourdieu, while also signalling field theory's limitations in relation to transnationalism, ethnic heterogeneity and Indigeneity. This introduction addresses the speci…
Morale and Mass Observation: Governing the Affective Atmosphere on the Home-Front
This paper focuses on Mass Observation (MO)'s morale work, commissioned by the British Government over the period 1939-41. It examines the ways in which MO's earlier collecting practices were recomposed through its research into civilian morale, and linked up with national centres of calculation, in particular the Ministry of Information (MoI). We explore the associations through which civilian morale was established, simultaneously, as an autono…
Simulation in Higher Education: A sociomaterial view
This article presents a sociomaterial account of simulation in higher education. Sociomaterial approaches change the ontological and epistemological bases for understanding learning and offer valuable tools for addressing important questions about relationships between university education and professional practices. Simulation has grown in many disciplines as a means to bring the two closer together. However, the theoretical underpinnings of sim…

O4-6.1 Introduction: The challenges of developing public health evidence based guidance: Nice experience
This session considers the technical issues associated with the development and use of the evidence base for public health. The problems of using the techniques of evidence based medicine for constructing public health guidance will be outlined. The methodological and philosophical challenges associated with the nature of the variables involved, the breadth of the evidence, the causal chains form interventions to outcomes will be analysed. The im…
A Qualitative Exploration of Young Women's Attitudes towards the Thin Ideal
The thin ideal has been identified as playing a central role in female body dissatisfaction. However, research into idealization of thinness in young women tends to focus on quantitative measures that can mask the complexity of attitudes and experiences. This article describes a series of focus groups with 41 females aged 16-26 and explores the multifaceted relationship young women have with the thin ideal. Thematic qualitative analysis revealed …
Growth of Jersey Schoolchildren During the 1940-1945 German Occupation: Comparison with Schoolchildren on Mainland Britain
The 1940-45 German occupation of the Channel Islands was accompanied by a gradual deterioration in food availability and culminated in a nine-month siege with severe food shortages after supplies from France were cut off following the liberation of Normandy in 1944. The aim of this study was to compare the growth rates of schoolchildren resident on one of the Channel Islands (Jersey) with children growing up on mainland Britain. Secondary analyse…
Transgressed Boundaries: Reflections on the Problematics of Culture and Power in Developing a Collaborative Relationship with Teachers at an Elementary School
In this article the author reflects upon his experiences trying to develop a collaborative relationship with teachers in his role as a part-time science coordinator for their school. The author suggests that, despite his egalitarian intentions, he inappropriately transgressed institutional boundaries that demarcate the world of university-based researchers and public school teachers. In crossing these boundaries particular power relations were en…
