Book excerpt: On Taungurung Land: Sharing History and Culture is the first monograph to examine how the Taungurung Nation of central Victoria negotiated with protectors and pastoralists to retain possession of their own country for as long as possible. Historic accounts, to date, have treated the histories of Acheron and Mohican Aboriginal stations as preliminary to the establishment of the more famous Coranderrk on Wurundjeri land. Instead of ‘rushing down the hill’ to Coranderrk, this book concentrates upon the two foundational Aboriginal stations on Taungurung Country. A collaboration between Elder Uncle Roy Patterson and Jennifer Jones, the book draws upon Taungurung oral knowledge and an unusually rich historical record. This fine-grained local history and cultural memoir shows that adaptation to white settlement and the preservation of culture were not mutually exclusive. Uncle Roy shares generational knowledge in this book in order to revitalise relationships to place and establish respect and mutual practices of care for Country.

Download or read book Speaking Writing With written by Fiona McAllan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of the social our incommensurable differences define us, yet more often we find they divide us. Speaking–Writing With: Aboriginal and Settler Interrelations argues that power relations of suppression rely on particular ways of marking difference. Its discussion circulates in and through “indigenous” and “settler” interrelations, yet the focus is on relations and relationships – on the formation of subjectivities and ongoing construction of identities. In the context of Australia’s socio-political history, the text theorises ways of speaking “with” (instead of “for”) others by exploring the relationship between poststructural/deconstruction theories and indigenous relational ontologies. Such modes of thinking, outside the binarised thinking of the west, deeply resonate in their shared capacity for change, innovation, creativity and engagement with atavism–futurity. While Fiona McAllan’s PhD published articles have achieved recognition in trans-disciplinary fields, a cohesive development of her socio-cultural theory has been made accessible to academic audiences by incorporating those articles into this academic text. Written in the combined modes of a western theory/praxis fusion and an indigenous methodology, and utilising diverse theories including indigenous epistemologies and decolonising methodologies, deconstruction, feminist psychoanalytic theory, eco-phenomenology, postcolonialism, critical whiteness, etc., the text poses the research question: “is it possible to engage an in-relation ethos and inter-entity consciousness that will allow for the transformation from global relations of suppression and subordination to those of reciprocity, mutual respect and engagement, thus providing a model for a transformative and reciprocal sociality?” Speaking–Writing With is therefore a book that acknowledges how unconscious forces influence our everyday thoughts and actions (and their correlative material consequences) and thus engages pressing geo-political issues at a time when indigenous ontologies/understandings are becoming increasingly crucial to addressing the mounting problems of the west. It sits in the genre of critical cultural theory, yet will be equally relevant to other disciplines such as Indigenous Studies, Critical Whiteness/racial theories, cultural sociology, and philosophy.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in The Asia Pacific written by Kapila D. Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific revisits the use, growth, and potential of the cultural landscape methodology in the conservation and management of culture-nature heritage in the Asia-Pacific region. Taking both a retrospective and prospective view of the management of cultural heritage in the region, this volume argues that the plurality and complexity of heritage in the region cannot be comprehensively understood and effectively managed without a broader conceptual framework like the cultural landscape approach. The book also demonstrates that such an approach facilitates the development of a flexible strategy for heritage conservation. Acknowledging the effects of rapid socio-economic development, globalization, and climate change, contributors examine the pressure these issues place on the sustenance of cultural heritage. Including chapters from more than 20 countries across the Asia-Pacific region, the volume reviews the effectiveness of theoretical and practical potentials afforded by the cultural landscape approach and examines how they have been utilized in the Asia-Pacific context for the last three decades. The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes of cultural landscape heritage conservation and management. As a result, it will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals who are based in the fields of cultural heritage management, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, and landscape management.

Download or read book Australia s Megafires written by Stephen van Leeuwen and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2023-02-01 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian wildfires of 2019–20 (Black Summer) were devastating and unprecedented. These megafires burnt more than 10 million hectares, mostly of forests in southern and eastern Australia. Many of the fires were uncontrollable. These megafires affected many of Australia’s most important conservation areas and severely impacted threatened species and ecological communities. They were a consequence of climate change – and offered a glimpse of how this is likely to continue to affect our future. Australia’s Megafires includes contributions by more than 200 researchers and managers with direct involvement in the management and conservation of the biodiversity affected by the Black Summer wildfires. It provides a comprehensive review of the impacts of these fires on all components of biodiversity, and on Indigenous cultural values. These fires also triggered an extraordinary and highly collaborative response by governments, NGOs, Indigenous groups, scientists, landholders and others, seeking to recover the fire-affected species and environments – to restore Country. This book documents that response. It draws lessons that should be heeded to sustain that recovery and to be better prepared for the inevitable future comparable catastrophes. Such lessons are of global relevance, for wildfires increasingly threaten biodiversity and livelihoods across the globe.
Download or read book Decolonising and Reframing Critical Social Work written by Sophie Goldingay and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book problematises and then reshapes critical social work to bring a range of perspectives to what constitutes truly effective and ethical social work practice, moving beyond binary oppositions (where two states or concepts are defined as opposite to each other) to create new words and concepts to be inclusive of a range of identities, practice contexts, and groups or communities of service users. Currently, critical social work, derived from sociological critical theories proliferated in the 1960s, enjoys dominance as the theory that encompasses the ethical principles of social work in Australia. While on the surface critical social work appears to align with the Australian Association of Social Workers’ (AASW) ethical principles of social justice, professional integrity, and respect for persons, practitioners, and students alike find enacting it can be problematic in complex practice situations. Reporting original research of cases from the field, the book focuses on the impact of intersectionality and shows new ways to address the nuance of othering and modern-day colonialism. It will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and students who are keen to engage with the latest in the field of critical social work and consider implications of this for the development of their own identity.

Download or read book The Invention of Tomorrow written by Thomas Suddendorf and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding exploration of the human capacity to imagine the future Our ability to think about the future is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. In The Invention of Tomorrow, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands. Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world. Journeying through biology, psychology, history, and culture, they show that thinking ahead is at the heart of human nature—even if we often get it terribly wrong. Incisive and expansive, The Invention of Tomorrow offers a fresh perspective on the human tale that shows how our species clawed its way to control the future.
