Exploring the volunteer experience–perseverance–organisational sustainability nexus in Australia’s community heritage sector
A majority of Australia’s community heritage sector is made up of organisations which are fully volunteer-managed. As such, volunteer experience is critical to the organisational sustainability of community heritage organisations. Drawing on qualitative methods including interviews, observations and an arts-based workshop with eight volunteers at the Embroiderers’ Guild, Queensland, this article examines how volunteers’ lived experiences within l…

The symbolic violence of heritage consultancy
Despite the significant growth of heritage consultancies in many countries over the last few decades, there is little scholarship that engages empirically with the experiences of those consulted. This article examines community attitudes towards heritage consultancy undertaken in relation to Norfolk Island’s Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (KAVHA, or simply Kingston). Underpinned by critical cultural justice inquiry, the article analyses…
Zine-making for critical cultural justice inquiry
Zines have recently emerged as methodological tools in qualitative research seeking to deploy arts-based approaches that foreground agency, collaboration, creativity, affect and critique. This article reflects on the use of zine-making as method in a project focused on Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area, Norfolk Island. The article analyses seven methods used in making zine content: sticky notes, memory prompts, story completion, letter wri…

Mapping Living Heritage in Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area, Norfolk Island
In heritage management plans, maps have long been used to draw boundaries around regions and plot natural and cultural sites, trails and routes. Attention to participatory mapping and counter-mapping has increased alongside trends towards bottom-up approaches to heritage that recognise local communities as experts in their own heritage. This article reflects on participatory mapping activities undertaken on Norfolk Island, home to the UNESCO Worl…

Zines as community archive
Zines are self-published, do-it-yourself booklets that have a long history as tools for activism in social movements. While archival studies has already explored the collection and preservation of zines as cultural artefacts, this article explores the capacity for zines to act as a form of community archive. The article examines See You at the Paradise , a zine co-created with Norfolk Island community members for a research project focused on Kin…
Leveraging popular music heritage as sustainable cultural infrastructure in small cities
Popular music and its heritage increasingly feature as a component of creative city strategies and urban regeneration agendas. However, local governments of small cities face challenges in replicating the cultural policies and strategies popularised by big cities. Focusing on two Australian small cities -Wollongong, New South Wales and Redcliffe, Queensland -this article draws on examples of popular music heritage activity including the Bee Gees …
DIY Heritage Institutions as Third Places
Community-based, do-it-yourself (DIY) archives and museums of popular music are cultural institutions that can serve important social and affective functions. In this article, we examine how DIY heritage institutions create a sense of community and promote wellbeing for their volunteers, operating as informal gathering spaces, or “third places.” Using the Australian Jazz Museum — a DIY popular music heritage institution run exclusively by volunte…
Ketch Yorlye Daun Paradise
Senses of place are strongly intertwined with senses of heritage and cultural identity. Heritage places are distinctive not only for their tangible dimensions, but also the intangible qualities which give them meaning. The conservation of heritage places, however, has often emphasised the materiality of place rather than its symbolic significance. This article explores issues surrounding sense of place and heritage management through a focus on t…
The Disney ‘Princess Bubble’ as a Cultural Influencer
The Walt Disney Company has been creating magical fairy tales since the early 1900s and is a trusted brand synonymous with wholesome, family entertainment (Wasko). Over time, this reputation has resulted in the Disney brand’s huge financial growth and influence on audiences worldwide. (Wohlwend). As the largest global media powerhouse in the Western world (Beattie), Disney uses its power and influence to shape the perceptions and ideologies of it…
The values and value of community heritage
Do-it-yourself (DIY) and community-based efforts to preserve popular music heritage often take place in tangible sites open to the public. These places contrast with authorised sites of heritage in their form, but not their function, and are often judged equally by visitors in terms of cultural value. This article analyses Tripadvisor user reviews of 11 DIY institutions of popular music heritage to highlight the tension between the production of …
A cultural justice approach to popular music heritage in deindustrialising cities
Deindustrialisation contributes to significant transformations for local communities, including rising unemployment, poverty and urban decay. Following the ‘creative city’ phenomenon in cultural policy, deindustrialising cities across the globe have increasingly turned to arts, culture and heritage as strategies for economic diversification and urban renewal. This article considers the potential role that popular music heritage might play in revi…
Liminality and the Hidden Aspects of The Conjuring
The films The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 focuses on two demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren, while they help two families with supernatural entities. In the Gothic genre, the traditional location is often a medieval setting of a castle or ancient location. These two films are presented as horror films but contain an overarching Gothic mode. This article explores how the modern family homes that are presented become the sites of liminal haunt…
Upgrading The L Word
The L Word: Generation Q is the reboot of The L Word, a long running series about a group of lesbians and bisexuals in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Both programmes are unique in their positioning of lesbian characters and have been well received by audiences and critics alike. These programmes present a range of characters and narratives, previously excluded from mainstream film and television, bringing a refreshing change from the destructive…
Getting students to ‘do’ introductory sociology
Blended learning and flipped classroom models are increasingly encouraged in higher education, where notions of flexibility and technological development inform institutional systems and strategies. This article presents results from an Australian study on redesigning and delivering an introductory sociology course using a combination of such models. Four central elements of the redesign are highlighted: overall course format; use of mini-lecture…
Safeguarding Australia’s Community Heritage Sector
In Australia, the community heritage sector – galleries, libraries, archives, museums and historical societies managed by volunteers – plays a significant role in recording and preserving the diversity of Australia’s cultural heritage. However, these community heritage organisations face uncertain futures. This article offers four examples of heritage organisations located in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia which have struggled wi…
Serious leisure and the DIY approach to heritage
This article takes a serious leisure perspective to examine the costs associated with career volunteering in DIY heritage institutions focused on the collection, preservation and curation of popular music’s past. While the rewards of serious leisure have been analysed extensively in the literature, costs are addressed less frequently. Moreover, Stebbins’ framing of costs has been critiqued as ambiguous and underdeveloped. In this article, we draw…
Career volunteering as good work in do-it-yourself heritage institutions
In recent decades, the heritage sector has become increasingly precarious amid the rise of austerity neoliberalism, impacting both the efficacy of heritage institutions and the labour experiences of those who run them. While scholarly literature has regularly examined these impacts for mainstream heritage institutions, little work considers volunteer-run, do-it-yourself (DIY) community heritage organisations. This article takes a serious leisure …
New and Emerging Challenges to Heritage and Well-Being
In the past decade, scholarship has documented the ways in which interacting with different forms of heritage impact individual and/or community well-being, as well as the harm to human well-being that occurs when heritage is damaged or destroyed. We bring the results of a review of this literature together, defining both heritage and well-being in relation to each other and exploring the relationship between heritage and well-being. New and emer…
Creative Work and Emotional Labour in the Television Industry
In keeping with the focus of this special section, we concentrate initially on some of the problems of autonomist Marxist concepts such as 'immaterial labour', 'affective labour' and 'precarity' for understanding work in the cultural industries. We then briefly review some relevant media theory (John Thompson's notion of mediated quasi-interaction) and some key recent sociological research on cultural labour (especially work by Andrew Ross and La…

Preserving Popular Music Heritage
This chapter examines how values and meaning are attributed to collections in the heritage practices of amateur and fan-based popular music museums and archives in the Netherlands. The institutional context for the preservation of popular music-related heritage in the Netherlands has changed dramatically in recent years. On the one hand, this is related to major cuts in government support for all kinds of culture-related initiatives. On the other…
Sex, Gender and Work Segregation in the Cultural Industries
This chapter addresses work 'segregation' by sex in the cultural industries. We outline some of the main forms this takes, according to our observations: the high presence of women in marketing and public relations roles; the high numbers of women in production co-ordination and similar roles; the domination of men of more prestigious creative roles; and the domination by men of technical jobs. We then turn to explanation: what gender dynamics dr…
Notes towards a typology of the DIY institution
This article presents some notes towards identifying what we have come to call ‘DIY institutions’: places of popular music preservation, archiving and display that exist outside the bounds of ‘official’ or ‘national’ projects of collection and heritage management. These projects emerge instead from within communities of music consumption, where groups of interested people have, to some degree, undertaken to do it themselves, creating places (phys…
Rap, Recidivism and the Creative Self
Popular music is increasingly being viewed by local, state and national governments as a useful form of creative activity for at-risk youth both within and outside young offender institutions. This paper examines a music programme operating for a group of predominantly black youth within one North American detention centre, and considers the range of benefits observed in fostering individual creativity, self-esteem and social communication. Popul…
Pop in(to) the Bedroom
Drawing on ethnographic research with seven young girls in Adelaide, South Australia, this article examines the centrality of the bedroom in the girls’ exploration of popular music and cultural identity. In particular, it explores the popular music practices of two of these girls, nine-year-olds Kate and Rosa, in the space of their bedrooms. I argue that, by way of serious play, the girls enact and represent alternative possibilities in this imme…
The sound of music heritage
A significant amount of previous academic research into popular music museums centres on critiques of the content, design and layout of predominantly authorised institutions. Throughout much of this research, authors consistently criticise the use, or rather, the perceived misuse, of music played within music museums, arguing that the music itself, rather than artefacts, constitutes the most significant part of popular music exhibition. This arti…
Cultural Precincts, Creative Spaces
This article examines the role of three community-based music projects—in Newcastle (Australia), Thanet (United Kingdom), and the City of Playford (Australia)—in engendering notions of regionalism, locality, and identity. Through their involvement in these projects, young people are placed at the intersection of music program management, city mythologies, and national policy. Each of the three projects examined attempts to facilitate urban regene…

Curating popular music heritage
In parallel with a globally ageing ‘baby-boomer’ population, Western societies have seen an increase in the number of museums devoted to popular music. However, the discourse, design and display of traditional museums is at odds with the culture of popular music and its audience. This article explores how curators of ‘new museums’ of popular music harness aspects of storytelling to increase patron engagement within their exhibits. Drawing on inte…
Locating the canon in Tamworth
This article concerns the regional city of Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia, a place that prides itself on its reputation as Australia's home of country music. We consider the ongoing memorialisation of country music in Tamworth, and how the processes associated with the project of articulating country music's past work to create and maintain something that can be recognised (and experienced) as a dominant narrative or an Australian country m…

Reframing the Connections between Deficit Thinking, Microaggressions, and Teacher Perceptions of Defiance
Popular music heritage, community archives and the challenge of sustainability
This article identifies the challenges community archives of popular music face in achieving medium- to long-term sustainability. The artefacts and vernacular knowledge to be found in community archives, both physical and online, are at risk of being lost ‘to the tip’ and, consequently, to ‘cultural memory’, due to a lack of resources and technological change. The authors offer case studies of the British Archive of Country Music, a physical arch…
Sustaining popular music's material culture in community archives and museums
This article examines the challenges of sustainability faced by community archives and museums that are concerned with the preservation and display of the material culture of popular music’s recent past. The sustainability of grassroots sites of popular music heritage is of great concern due to their role in making accessible cultural artefacts that have limited representation in the collections of more prestigious institutions. Drawing on three …

The global countryside
This article utilises a gender lens to consider the notion of the ‘global countryside’ through a case study with four peasant Colombian women living in the mountain town of Toca, Boyacá. In seeking a bottom-up understanding of rural globalisation, as it is experienced in the everyday lives of peasant women in Colombia, we drew on a methodology that included participant observation and photo elicitation interviews. Data reveal the inflections and …
