The US, after all, is not renowned for its sensitivity to other cultures, as witness Vietnam and Nicaragua, and white America's treatment of the original Indian population bears comparison with white Australia's treatment of Aborigines. US indifference to the specificity of Australian culture can be seen in the assumptions and ignorances of its custodians of film scholarship and film distribution. On the scholarship front, first: my favourite item in the prestigious Museum of Modern Art's Film Study Centre is a slip of paper inserted into a file of cuttings on Australian cinema. It reads: "AUSTRALIA. Miscellaneous film periodicals related to this subject can be viewed on request. They may be in the original language."

    Extractions: Packaging Australia: Working Dog's The Dish The success of Rob Sitch’s The Dish (2000) capped off a year in Australian film during which the strongest performers were films that in many ways conformed to Hollywood conventions and genres. The Dish aside, the three most successful Australian films in 2000 were certainly Kate Woods’ Looking For Alibrandi , Andrew Dominik’s Chopper and Aleksi Vellis’ The Wog Boy . All did very respectable business, and appear to be in the process of replicating that box-office success in the video market. It’s interesting, then, that these films do in many ways adhere to a ‘Hollywood’ approach to cinema. Both Alibrandi and Chopper are essentially pre-sold properties stemming from already successful books, a dominant focus for production in the US system. The Wog Boy similarly rides on the success of the Wogs Out of Work stage shows, driven by Nick Giannopoulos and his product recognition juggernaut. These films – particularly The Wog Boy – aspire to a model of popular cinema and a conventional American-styled cinema but do not consciously appear to be designed for anyone else’s gaze but our own. They stem from Australian products, which have already been road-tested on Australian audiences, and their success is predicated on their recognisable ‘Australianness’. The other major success of 2000 was The Dish , a film which has also enjoyed admirable box-office success and appeared to connect with Australian audiences. It too conforms to Hollywood structure and genre, but what distinguishes

    Extractions: University of Newcastle, Australia In recent years, many countries around the globe have experienced increasing participation of migrants and temporary residents. The meaning of cultural difference and "otherness" varies depending on specific characteristics of the original and the host culture. This paper presents an attempt to analyse some of the most common though rarely recognised effects of "cultural encounters" occurring in one specific type of institution in one country: Australian universities with their relatively high ethnic and cultural diversity of students and academic staff. These effects are observed in several dimensions: educational and intellectual values, concepts of knowledge and the social role of intellectuals. Observations presented here were made during a longitudinal study involving local and migrant academics and students in several universities. Views of the Australian academic culture and of academic cultures of their mother countries, held by migrant students and staff, are analysed and compared. This will reveal not only some significant inconsistencies in the current, real university system, but also their much more active and critical approach their new environment than usually recognised. It is suggested that this specific group is motivated to and can play a more creative, active role in the system.

    Extractions: You have heard how the Australia Council is assisting Arts and Cultural organisations export. Now I would like to explain something about another organisation, Austrade. Austrade is the arm of the Government which helps Australians do business overseas, including focussing on the commercial possibilities of arts and cultural exports. There is always a question mark over where you draw the line when you are talking about statistics but for the sector represented here this evening, exports were valued at $659 million in 1998/99. So you are part of an important and growing export sector. Austrade attends board meetings of AusFilm and we have worked closely with them to develop and implement a marketing program in co-operation with state government agencies and film companies who provide facilities and production services. In particular, Austrade Los Angeles has worked successfully with AusFilm, state film commissions and a number of pre-production and post-production companies to attract US film producers to Australia. We do this through the ongoing promotion of the benefits Australia has to offer, such as the skills of our production crews, our varied location sites and the post production facilities.

    Extractions: New research from the Australian Institute of Family Studies shows that Australian parents from Anglo-Australian, Vietnamese and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds share the same aspirations for their children. The ultimate goal for all of the parents in the study was to raise happy, well-adjusted children. For the Vietnamese and Torres Strait Islander parents, that also meant having children who were comfortably adapted to the mainstream of Australian culture, while retaining their culture and language. Parenting in Australian Families: a comparative study of Anglo-Australian, Torres Strait Islander and Vietnamese communities Who looks after children? Despite growing public expectation that fathers should generally be more involved in parenting, the data confirmed that the reality for parents, be they from Anglo-Australian, Vietnamese, or Torres Strait Islander background, was that mothers were primarily responsible for looking after children. Parental support networks The findings clearly illustrated the importance of broader issues such as employment flexibility, unemployment, lack of support and the absence of basic amenities.

    Extractions: of Science Sponsored by Advocates of ethnomathematics say it is helping different cultures to understand each other. Printer-friendly version of complete topic The term ‘ethnomathematics’ was first used in the late 1960s by a Brazilian mathematician, Ubiratan D’Ambrosio, to describe the mathematical practices of identifiable cultural groups. Some see it as the study of mathematics in different cultures, others as a way of making mathematics more relevant to different cultural or ethnic groups, yet others as a way of understanding the differences between cultures. But perhaps the most powerful claim for the new discipline has been made by D’Ambrosio himself (quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education , 6 October 2000): Mathematics is absolutely integrated with Western civilization, which conquered and dominated the entire world. The only possibility of building up a planetary civilization depends on restoring the dignity of the losers and, together, winners and losers, moving into the new. [Ethnomathematics, then, is] a step towards peace. This makes ethnomathematics a rather unusual discipline, because it attempts to meld science and social justice. This isn't something that sits comfortably with many scientists: science, they argue, is science, and trying to make it politically correct will only impede its progress. Some educators fret that teaching mathematics using an ethnomathematical approach reduces it to a social-studies subject that teaches students little about ‘real’ mathematics. Others simply ridicule the whole notion: according to one disparaging journalist, 'Unless you wish to balance your checkbook the ancient Navajo way, it’s probably safe to ignore the whole thing'.

These differences further deconstruct the idea that Australia has the same relationship as the West with Asia, recognising the specificity of the Australian situation and, in particular, the aspects that make Australia different from the West, itself an homogenising and largely useless epithet. An interesting aspect of the current situation is the way Australia 'imagines' itself within the region. By this I mean the way that Australia chooses to project and promote representations of itself within Asia. Nowhere can the results of this presentation be seen more clearly than in the visual arts. One of the best examples of this was in the first Asia-Pacific Triennial at the Queensland Art Gallery in 1993. In spite of the fact that this expansive event was an attempt to position Australia as a cultural centre within the region, the
