Being All Equal: Identity, Difference and Australian Cultural Practice
Is there such a thing as an Australian national identity? Or is Australia just a melting pot of different peoples and cultures without a common culture? - What is distinctive and what is universal about everyday life in Australia? In a post-colonial age of globalizing economies, the political quest for national 'identity' is increasingly urgent. This topical book traces the ways in which the Australian state and its people struggle to represent t…
Images of Power and the Power of Images
Real places and events are constructed and used to symbolize abstract formulations of power and authority in politics, corporate practice, the arts, religion, and community. By analyzing the aesthetics of public space in contexts both mundane and remarkable, the contributors examine the social relationship between public and private activities that impart meaning to groups of people beyond their individual or local circumstances. From a range of …
Images of Power and the Power of Images
Symbols of power in diverse areas of public life surround us, from insignificant street signs and little-known corners to grand monuments and great buildings. Concrete expressions of abstract conceptions—churches (religion), seats of government (Parliament), railway stations (transport policy), shopping malls (commerce), and newsvendors (mass media), for instance—are regularly translated from these solidities into ideas, for the most part unthink…
Twilight of the Enlightenment: The Art Fair, the Culture Industry, and the ‘Creative Class’
The complicity of the arts and the state in the mutual legitimation of corporate market practice is addressed in this critique of the so-called culture industries and 'Creative Class' of late capitalist imagination. The certification of the state-market couple as the dominant ideology of national, transnational, and post-national politics and economics is examined through an analysis of the Frieze Art Fair between 2006 and 2009. I contend that th…
The Arts and State Power
The development of the arts as a collective modern phenomenon is intricately woven into its genesis in the milieu of princely Renaissance courts of varying size, complexity, and indeed grandeur that provided sustenance and shelter to artists of all kinds during the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries (see Burckhardt [1860] 1990). The protection of artists was the province of aristocratic dynasties that could augment or rescind their patronage at un…
Constructing a Public Sphere: Materiality and Ideology
The changing cultural and social significance of central city space generates and structures the social formations of capital today. Buildings and landmarks within the city of London are examined here as crucibles for the expression, symbolization, formation, and re-formation of the social orders of the city and the state. Here, the cultural power of state apparatuses to control and order the image and substance of capital and state is challenged…
Public space and private interests
Public property was formerly thought of as being, primarily, the property of anyone and everyone, and aspects of both the built and the natural environment were included. Assaults on public property by the Australian state, and the appropriation of public culture by the subalterns of national and transnational capital, have far-reaching implications for the social and cultural health of the nation

Rural Myths and Urban Ideologies
The argument of this paper is grounded in the contention that the traditional city/bush, urban/rural distinctions made of Australian society represent a false dichotomy. Rather, it is suggested that this distinction serves an ideological purpose in opposing, for example, rural and urban workers, rural and urban owners/managers etc. The rhetoric and the reality of Australian cultural mythologies is analysed with the aim of demonstrating the ways i…
Expert Advice: The Mystification of Common Sense
The dialectical relation of ideology and common sense is explored here through an examination of the school‐family couple as an ideological state apparatus. It is argued that the production and promotion of expertise is crucial to the maintenance of social and cultural control. A case in point is taken to be the power of psychologists, with their emphasis upon the structuring of individual behaviour in the service of the State. The moralism of th…

Curricula and the Reproduction of Structured Social Inequalities
Independently funded private schools and public schools (those wholly funded by the state), are characterized as having two contrasting modes of educational production: the schoolwide mode and the classroom mode. The significance of this contrast is explored through an examination of four schools in the state of South Australia.Specifically, curricular practices such as timetabling and homework and other organizational arrangements, are shown to …
Socialization and the Symbolic Order of the School1
Comparatively little research in western education has focused upon the way in which ritual and ceremonial practices achieve their effects in the socialization process. This paper, in analyzing two private secondary school rituals, essays a partial answer to two questions: Why do private schools appear to be so much more successful than state schools in committing their clientele to the advancement of the school project and in socializing student…
