Impact of a large-scale interactive and immersive science pop-up shop about infection and hygiene on visitors and volunteers
Infectious diseases pose persistent and evolving challenges to global health, exacerbated by rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and vaccine hesitancy. The global public response to the COVID-19 pandemic underscored that scientific knowledge alone cannot drive behavioural change without trust, dialogue and meaningful social participation. Effective science communication and public engagement therefore require interactive, community-centred appr…
Riots and Twitter
Social media technologies like Twitter are credited with enabling a new form of connective action, in which political movements coalesce and mobilise around hashtags, memes and personalised action frames. After the UK riots in 2011, citizen ‘broom armies’ took to the streets to clear up and repair damage. Different hashtags, including #RiotCleanUp and #OperationCupOfTea, were implicated in these movements.This paper questions connective action th…
Social cohesion, Twitter and far-right politics in Australia
The concept of ‘social cohesion’ has become an orthodoxy in governmental and academic discourse, augmenting the complex of progressive and liberal politics that have formed around the modern, multicultural and globally engaged nation-state. The reinvigoration of far-right politics is challenging this orthodoxy, at least inasmuch as these politics appear to be gaining traction through the strategic manipulation of increasing insecurity within thes…
The potential effects of climate change on the habitat range of the Vancouver Island marmot ( Marmota vancouverensis )
Research shows that the rise in surface temperatures induced by climate change will cause many animal species to follow their shifting ranges either upwards in elevation or polewards. Since the Vancouver Island marmot, one of Canada's most vulnerable species, is found in only a few fragmented locations on the Island, a shift in range could be detrimental to their well‐being. Using habitat restrictions based on existing successful hibernacula, thi…
The myth of declining violence
The publication of Steven Pinker’s Better Angels of Our Nature popularized an emerging orthodoxy in political and social science – that is, that violence and warfare have been declining over the past century, particularly since the end of the Second World War. Invoking the scientific and political neutrality of their data and evidence, Pinker and other ‘declinists’ insist that powerful, liberal democratic states have subdued humans’ evolutionary …
Governance in the Age of Digital Media and Branding
The politicization of government communications requires intense control. Centralization of government power accompanies advances in information and communications technology, as political elites use branding strategy in an attempt to impose discipline on their messengers and on media coverage. The strategic appeal of public sector branding is that it replaces conflicting messages with penetrating message reinforcement. Among the notable features…
The cultural politics of mining and natural disaster in Indonesia
Natural disasters are inevitably the outcome of cultural agonisms. The cultural politics of natural disasters are shaped by competing claims and conceptions of 'nature'. Recent disasters in Indonesia are directly linked to these contending conceptions and the ways in which different social groups imagine risk and reward. The Sidoarjo volcanic mudflow of 2006 represents a volatile and violent exemplar of contending cultural and economic claims. Li…

Global Media Apocalypse
The modern world seems trapped between fantasies of infinite pleasure and the prospects of total global catastrophe. Global Media Apocalypse explores these contrary imaginings through an evolving cult
The Bali Bombings Monument
In 2003 a monument was erected at the site of the 2002 Islamist militant attacks in Kuta, Bali. Government and other official discourses, including the design brief, represent the monument as an integrated and culturally harmonious public testimony to the victims. However, the monument is also a discordant association of ideas, meanings, and political claims. While originally designed to subdue insecurity, the Bali bombings monument, in fact, con…
If we could all be Peter Lougheed
As David Greenberg argued in his book Nixon's Shadow: The History of an Image, ‘I believe that history consists not only in what important people did and said but equally in what they symbolized - what they meant - to their publics.’ The central research questions of this article are as follows: What has become of the legacies of two-term (and plus) provincial premiers and how have those legacies been shaped? Using the 1967 Confederation of Tomor…
Fractured futures
This paper examines Indonesia's democratic state capacity-building in terms of transformations in West Timor, particularly around manganese mining. It is structured on the basis of three complementary sets of arguments. Firstly, democratic capacity-building is essentially a power-driven process as it seeks to re-arrange the way in which power is distributed. This process is shaped by the relative capabilities of a variety of societal interests st…
Under the Volcano
The 2011 Japanese earthquake and subsequent malfunction at the Fukushima nuclear power plant occurred at the apex of a complex crisis of nature. While some commentators claim that the Fukushima malfunction was the result of a 'natural disaster', others situate the event within a broader context of human interventions in ecological and natural systems. Exercised through the global mediasphere, these environmental language wars are formed within cr…

Conclusion
Bali's Silent Crisis
Bali and Balinese culture have become central to western imaginings of 'the east.' Along with its natural beauty and tropical sensuality, Bali's rich and complex culture has proved intensely alluring for western artists, scholars, and travelers. However, as this aesthetic imagining and desire for beauty have evolved into a mass tourism industry, the island people and their culture have experienced radical and rapid transformation. While many in t…

Unholy Wars
Over the past three decades, the Indonesian tourist island of Bali has been appropriated into the Australian national imaginary. For Australians, Bali has become a neighbourhood playground and psycho-cultural land-bridge to Indonesia and the Asian region. With the emergence of a global 'war on terror', Bali has also become a primary battleground, dividing the symbolic claims of the Islamist militants against the Western economic and hedonistic em…

Paradise defiled
The spread of global Jihadist terrorism was brutally announced in the 2002 Bali bombings. The attacks marked a significant moment in the relationship between Australia and Bali. The bewilderment characterizing Balinese and Australian responses to the 2002 bombings is linked to processes of globalization and the ‘de-bordering’ of knowledge, most particularly as it resonates through locally constituted ‘ideology’, beliefs and identity. While for th…

Williams's concept of "cultural studies," along with Rich ard Johnson's broader notion of "culturalism," distin…
Propagating Terror
Academic and public analysis of the media's performance during the 9/11 and Afghanistan wars are critically influenced by the specific ideological perspective of the analyst. Those commentators who support the reprisal attacks against bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban tend to commend the media, identifying a substantial confluence between state interests, public opinion and media reporting. Alternatively, commentators such as Noam Chomsky who a…

Debates and issues regarding marriage and cohabitation in the British and American literature
The issue of family change has aroused considerable fear in the English-speaking countries, among both academic commentators and politicians. The most pervasive explanation of the changes has focused on an increase in an individualism that is selfish. Many have tended to read off a growth in individualism from the dramatic changes in the statistics of family change, and then to link it either to changes in individual behaviour, such as women's in…

Digitopians
In their search for an alternative politics, a number of cultural theorists have turned towards computers and digitized communication. A new utopianism (digitopia) is forming around the potential of networked computers to enhance human communication and culture. In particular, theorists influenced by poststructural and postmodernist ideas have argued that computer mediated communication will transform subjectivity, community and democratic politi…

Manufacturing dissent
Modern democracy has emphasized the institutional and legal processes which protect the rights of individual citizens through homogenizing structures and processes. Contemporary cultural politics attempts to reach beyond structuralist democracy which inevitably overrides the freedom of the individual. A number of theorists have attached this ‘new’ democracy to various forms of electronic mediation, including computer-networked communication. Thes…
Between the lines
The texts of surfing have been largely neglected in serious cultural commentary. Surfing, as with other texts in popular culture, cannot be adequately explained through the deployment of existing theoretical and analytical paradigms. We must move beyond de Certeau's psychoanalysis and Fiske's semiotic essentialism in order to explain satisfactorily the ideo‐political and consumer dimensions of textual surfing

The relationship between Australia (an outpost of Anglo-western culture) and Indonesia (the world's most populous Muslim nation) has always been precarious.

His first example of a 'postindustrial' theorist was FoucaultF ! ) It is surprising that a book on French sociology can avoid reference to the influence of academic Marxism and structuralism of 1968 to the present. Whether onewants to call it postindustrial society or late capitalism, the sphere of production has become less important. Not just Foucault, but French Marxists withdrew attention fro…

Shot in the Dark
In consonance with trends in other advanced cities of the world, Australia's old industrial sites are being transformed culturally, functionally and visually. The Walter Coop Shot Tower was established in Melbourne during the late nineteenth century and continued to manufacture industrial grade lead shot until 1961. Following its listing in the National Trust Register as a historically significant building, the Shot Tower has been the subject of …

Hacking the Democratic Mainframe
As with many of the other 45 000 computer viruses operating across the globe, the Melissa virus constitutes a significant threat to organisational processes. There are two major readings of the Melissa virus's social and political implications - one rejecting its subversive intent, the other celebrating it. In either case, these readings reflect the inadequacy of current theorisations of the relationship between computer networked communication, …
