Faculty of Arts and Sciences Sub-Faculty of Philosophy and Theology THEO 107 RELIGION IN AUSTRALIAN CULTURE Module EIGHT : Historical Perspectives: Identity and Difference Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to: discern grasp the nature of the impact of world events on Australian social, cultural and religious life since 1920; describe the responses made by the churches to key social, ethical and political issues in the last eighty years; assess the importance of change as a factor in church life during this period; analyse the influence of an increasingly multicultural society on the religious options available to, and adopted by Australians, including the contribution of Aboriginal spirituality; Introduction: After the Great War The period following the First World War gave Australians the opportunity to develop as a nation in peacetime, and to turn national attention to issues other than conflict with an external foe. The impact of the war on the society and its values was perhaps most obviously felt in the development of the Anzac legend. The celebration of Anzac Day had religious overtones of a non-denominational kind, although this did not prevent Catholic authorities from boycotting ceremonies led by Protestant clergy. For some Australians, especially males, this was as close as they would come to formal religious expression. It could be viewed as a perversion of religion into nationalism or a cult of the dead, or the occasion for genuine religious feelings to be manifested in the only way deemed acceptable to the non-churched.

Conference Speeches 1995 Global Cultural Diversity Conference Proceedings, Sydney The Intercultural Nature of Modern English Professor Braj Kachru Professor of Linguistics and Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Illinois, USA I. Introduction In his presidential address to the English Association in London in 1975, George Steiner observed that "the linguistic center of English has shifted". Steiner argued that ...this shift of the linguistic center involves more than statistics. It does look as if the principal energies of the English language, as if its genius for acquisition, for innovation, more metaphoric response, has also moved away from England. What is important here is where the center is shifting to. Steiner was not thinking of the shift to North America or to Australia only, but to East, West, and South Africa, India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and the US possessions in the Pacific. He is actually referring to the unprecedented global presence of English, its internationalisation, and its increasing pluralism. When we call English an international medium, what we mean is that those who use English across cultures in Asia, in Africa and in Europe have a shared code of communication. The medium provides, as it were, shifting "grids" through which we gain access to a variety of Asian, African, European, and North American ideologies, mythologies, philosophies, and other sociocultural contexts. We see this acculturation of the medium in, for example, West African varieties of English. In this region, as Okara says, English is used, "to express our own ideas, thinking and philosophy in our own way" (1963: 15-16).

Conference Speeches Global Cultural Diversity Conference Proceedings, Sydney Introduction Stephen Castles Centre for Multicultural Studies, University of Wollongong, Australia Increasing cultural diversity has become one of the major forces of change in the contemporary world. It is closely linked to current trends towards globalisation, which affects individuals, societies and governments at all levels. The process of globalisation goes back to European colonial expansion since the 15th century, but has accelerated dramatically since 1945. The bipolar world order which emerged from the Second World War created the conditions for decolonisation and for rapid increases in international flows of capital, commodities and population. More recently, the end of the Cold War held out the prospect of global integration in economic, cultural and political relations. This coincided with the micro-electronic revolution in information technology, creating the conditions for even greater international mobility of investments, goods, ideas and people. Today, there are few corners of the world which have escaped rapid transformations in work and ways of life. The changes are often initially felt on the economic and social levels, but it is important to realise that they are the result of underlying cultural shifts. The increasingly pervasive western values of rationality and progress have ambivalent consequences. Historically, they were the precondition for European expansion, but only at the cost of conquest and exploitation for many of the world's peoples. Recent economic and technological advances offer the promise of higher living standards, but the growing destructiveness of military power (based on the same technologies) threatens human survival. Industrialisation can bring social progress, but at the cost of environmental degradation and loss of bio-diversity.

Bill Mousoulis' Writings Alike/Unalike: Cultural Diversity in Australian Independent Film Any decidedly placed idea concerning cultural difference risks informing itself with the very act it is constantly railing against: closure. And so, in titling this piece Alike/Unalike I hope to outline the various forces at play in the domain of non-Anglo films and film-makers; the differences and the similarities. For difference is the fuel of separatist philosophies, whilst similarity points the way towards reconciliation and equality. Ten Years After, Ten Years Older (Anna Kannava) My focus will be on independent film (shorts, docos, experimental film, some features, made by independents, students and 'underground' filmmakers) because, despite Australia's consciousness of multiculturalism, there is surprisingly little non-Anglo mainstream film produced. Just as women feature-film directors are scarce (Gillian Armstrong and Jane Campion being two of the few), there is a nationality imbalance as well. The main exception, Paul Cox, is more independent/art-house than mainstream, along with Sophia Turkiewicz and Rivka Hartman. Others, like John Tatoulis or Philippe Mora, are fully immersed in the mainstream, but one wonders if they have retained any inherent, special difference. Nadia Tass, for example, shortened her name, and her real-life Greek friend/inspiration-for-a-film became

Johnson prefaces explanation of this tour by listing the work of other Australian jazz artists who have worked away from Australiain this way positioning the Graeme Bell Jazz Band tour as one component of Australians' influences on the international jazz scene. This aside, the 1947-1948 tour is still an odd event in Australian music history. The band was to represent the Eureka Youth League, a communist-affiliated association, at the World Youth Festival. Intended as a two-week tour, this extended to four months of recordings, teaching, and performances in 44 towns. After Czechoslovakia, the band moved to England, where they worked for eight months. The success of the band in Czechoslovakia is put down by Johnson not only to their musical ability, but also to a number of other contributing factors, some of which gave jazz sociopolitical meanings: the lack of a continuous jazz scene in Central Europe so soon after 1945; few American recordings in popular circulation; jazz as representative of anti-Nazi sentiment; the appeal of jazz to youth and subversive elements. In England, the band was the first international jazz group to perform for about two decades; as British citizens, the members of the band had no problems with work visas denied to their American counterparts. Their work in England is directly credited with stimulating an English jazz revival movement.

34. Australian Aboriginal Art In Cultural Context often the preserve of a specific gender, moiety the invasion and overthrow of Australianindigenous society in adaptation of surviving Aboriginal culture to the http://tropicalpulse.com/aboriginal_art/abiorginal_art_in_context.html

Aboriginal Art in its Cultural Context The Australian continent, prior to European invasion/settlement some two centuries ago, supported an extraordinary diversity of Aboriginal cultures and languages. Nevertheless, some cultural and mythic features - such as the 'Dreamtime' - were common to most if not all Aboriginal groups. The indigenous Aboriginal population of Australia commonly viewed the surface of the earth as a skin - comparable to human skin. Aborigines marked their own skin with scars and ochre, often evoking natural phenomena such as animals or weather events. Making similar markings on the earth's surface of soil or sand - or on specific parts of the earth's surface such as rock walls and tree bark - was a 'natural' extension of this tradition, and a complement to it. Aboriginal ceremonies and rituals helped unify all aspects of Aboriginal life. Man and woman, animals and plants, the earth and the sky, the changing weather and eternal spirit world - all were celebrated, invoked and unified in traditional rituals. What we understand today as 'Aboriginal Art' was really one aspect (the static, visual dimension) of Aboriginal culture as a whole. 'Art' complemented and enriched a life characterized by its integration with country. In a culture which emphasized wholeness, individual identity was fashioned through custodianship of specific totems, 'Dreamtime' myths, narratives or traditions. The distinctiveness of an individual's work stemmed from his or her unique identity within larger groupings, which anthropologists have described with various terms such moiety, clan, tribe and language group. Just as the ceremonial life of a group as a whole reflected its place on earth and relations with other adjacent groups, so to individual distinctiveness reflected the role, privileges and responsibilities of the individual within the broader human group. Artistic individuality in the modern, western and somewhat competitive sense was foreign to endogenous Aboriginal culture.

Contacts Media Release Monday, 3 March 2003 - MVT13/2003 Vaile Announces Objectives for Australia - US FTA Australia will pursue a wide-ranging and comprehensive set of objectives in Free Trade Agreement negotiations with the United States, Trade Minister Mark Vaile announced today.  Mr Vaile announced that Australia's specific negotiating objectives would be made publicly available today following detailed consideration of Australia's interests by the Government, and an extensive consultation process with industry, the community and state and territory governments.  The first round of negotiations begins 17-21 March. "An FTA with the US presents a unique opportunity to advance the interests of Australia's exporters, and offers significant benefits to the nation in terms of economic growth and employment," Mr Vaile said. "The consultative process, begun last November, has highlighted the breadth and depth of the interests and opportunities we can pursue in the FTA negotiations to enhance our economic relationship with the US. "The Government will give a high priority to reducing the most significant market access barriers facing Australian exports, particularly in the agricultural sector.  We will pursue a range of Australian interests in the US market covering all areas of the Australian economy – manufacturing, services, investment, government procurement, telecommunications and electronic commerce, intellectual property rights, and movement of people.

If you have any queries regarding the course, please contact Dr. Warwick Mules (w.mules@cqu.edu.au) or phone 41 507142 *Study Guide and Resource material will be available only as a download from this website. Dear student Welcome to . In this course you will learn about Australian culture through the viewing and analysis of Australian film. The course will explore how Australian films represent Australia in terms of its ideals, values and concerns. The course will also show how many Australian films challenge the taken for granted meanings and identities of Australia, and propose alternatives. The course looks at both contemporary films and films from earlier periods of Australian history. We examine the very first feature film made in Australia, The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906), which is also claimed to be the first feature film made anywhere in the world. We also look at other films from Australia's silent era, as templates for more contemporary films, including those made today. However, the majority of the course is spent on vewing and examining more recent films, from the 1970s until the present time, offering challenges to the earlier films and their representations of Australian society and culture. Broadly speaking, in this course you will be able to learn about the way film constructs and deconstructs Australian national identity, and how film operates as a cultural form to empower viewers with both confirming and alternative visions of Australian culture.
