From Balconies to Bedframes
An array of material objects and liminal spaces in which they were used in magic rituals concretely anchored subversive spiritual practices within the topography of early modern Venice. Witchcraft cases pursued by the Venetian Inquisition offer compelling evidence that urban homes were common sites of magic and could also become embroiled in rituals. Practitioners of magic invoked spiritual entities at their hearth, tucked bundles of ritual objec…

Making futures
Neo-liberal higher education is preoccupied with the future, with study increasingly viewed as being important for and in the future, rather than valuable in the present. We argue that a preoccupation with the future itself has become the generator of the present as precarious. Paradoxically, the certainty of future transformation or change, forms present uncertainty, which is also experienced as distressing and frantic in pace. We must work to k…
Pedagogies of care, care-full epistemological practice and ‘other’ caring subjectivities in enabling education
This article explores and conceptualises the emergent and historic presence of a feminised pedagogical praxis in Australian Enabling (university access) programs. Analysing a participatory project at a regional university that sought to map these pedagogies, it specifically aims to visibilise the complexities of careful pedagogical practices which challenge deficit and assimilationist renditions of equity and inclusion, and which foster the possi…
The contribution of metallurgical studies to South-East Asian archaeology
There is evidence of large scale copper production in the Lopburi area ‘of Central Thailand. Prehistoric mining and smelting activities were identified during fieldwork in 1985 and 1987. Subsequent analysis of finds from these sites, including ore, slag and artefacts, has been used to indicate the level of sophistication of the metallurgy, employing a technology not previously encountered elsewhere. Archaeometallurgical studies have important imp…
Field Linguistics
This book has few predecessors. The best of them are two small works published over twenty years ago, Bloomfield's Outline Guide for the Practical Study of Foreign Languages (1942) and Bloch and Trager's Outline of Linguistic Analysis (1942). There were at that time a few books about general \nlinguistics, but not one of them was designed for the investigator taking up for the first time the study of a hitherto "unknown" language. Methodology was…
