Out Here Down Under
Author: E. A. Judge
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666770795
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Out Here Down Under is a collection of documents and papers illuminating the development and character of ancient history as a discipline in the Antipodes. It considers especially the distinctive and extraordinarily popular program, championed by E. A. Judge, of studying classical and biblical corpora together under one discipline, with an emphasis on the interpretation of documentary sources. In twenty chapters, this volume considers such issues as the relationship between British and Antipodean scholarship, the story and legacy of Antipodean scholars of the ancient world, the nature and ideology of ancient history programs at schools and universities (especially in NSW and at Macquarie), the interaction between biblical and classical disciplines, and the function of history in contemporary Australia. These texts, mostly written by Judge himself throughout his career, appear here with new introductory notes outlining their historical significance for the discipline and Judge's own practice.

Practice-led Research, Research-led Practice in the Creative Arts
Author: Hazel Smith
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 0748636307
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book addresses one of the most exciting and innovative developments within higher education: the rise in prominence of the creative arts and the accelerating recognition that creative practice is a form of research. The book considers how creative practice can lead to research insights through what is often known as practice-led research. But unlike other books on practice-led research, it balances this with discussion of how research can impact positively on creative practice through research-led practice. The editors posit an iterative and web-like relationship between practice and research. Essays within the book cover a wide range of disciplines including creative writing, dance, music, theatre, film and new media, and the contributors are from the UK, US, Canada and Australia. The subject is approached from numerous angles: the authors discuss methodologies of practice-led research and research-led practice, their own creative work as a form of research, research training for creative practitioners, and the politics and histories of practice-led research and research-led practice within the university. The book will be invaluable for creative practitioners, researchers, students in the creative arts and university leaders. Key Features*The first book to document, conceptualise and analyse practice-led research in the creative arts and to balance it with research-led practice*Written by highly qualified academics and practitioners across the creative arts and sciences *Brings together empirical, cultural and creative approaches*Presents illuminating case histories of creative work and practice-led research

Rethinking Invasion Ecologies from the Environmental Humanities
Author: Jodi Frawley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113475616X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Research from a humanist perspective has much to offer in interrogating the social and cultural ramifications of invasion ecologies. The impossibility of securing national boundaries against accidental transfer and the unpredictable climatic changes of our time have introduced new dimensions and hazards to this old issue. Written by a team of international scholars, this book allows us to rethink the impact on national, regional or local ecologies of the deliberate or accidental introduction of foreign species, plant and animal. Modern environmental approaches that treat nature with naïve realism or mobilize it as a moral absolute, unaware or unwilling to accept that it is informed by specific cultural and temporal values, are doomed to fail. Instead, this book shows that we need to understand the complex interactions of ecologies and societies in the past, present and future over the Anthropocene, in order to address problems of the global environmental crisis. It demonstrates how humanistic methods and disciplines can be used to bring fresh clarity and perspective on this long vexed aspect of environmental thought and practice. Students and researchers in environmental studies, invasion ecology, conservation biology, environmental ethics, environmental history and environmental policy will welcome this major contribution to environmental humanities.

Edward M. Curr and the Tide of History
Author: Samuel Furphy
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1922144711
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The idea that Curr's writings posthumously defeated the Yorta Yorta native title claim has a chilling irony about it, given his earlier appropriation of Yorta Yorta lands for pastoral purposes...During the long Yorta Yorta claim, therefore, Edward M. Curr became something of an historical celebrity, highlighting the need for a detailed appraisal of his life, his biases, his opinions, and his attitudes towards Aboriginal people. This book responds to that need by offering a biography of a man who more than a century after his death became a crucial witness in a major native title case."--Prologue.
