Global Heating and the Australian Far Right

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right examines the environmental politics of far-right actors and movements in Australia exploring their broader political context and responses to climate change. The book traces the development of far-right pseudo-environmentalism and territorial politics from colonial genocide and Australian nationalism to extreme-right political violence. Through a critical analysis of news and social media it reveals how denialist and resignatory attitudes towards climate change operate alongside extreme right accelerationism in a wider Australian political context characterised by reactionary fossil fuel politics and neoliberal New Right climate change agendas. The authors scrutinise the manipulation of environmental politics by contemporary Australian far- and extreme-right actors in cross-national online media. They also assess the political-ideological context of the contemporary far right addressing intergovernmental approaches to security threats connected to the far right and climate change and the emergence of radical environmentalist traditions in ‘New Catastrophism’ literature. The conclusion synthesises key insights analysing the mainstreaming of ethnonationalist and authoritarian responses to global heating and potential future trajectories of far-right movements exploiting the climate crisis. It also emphasises the necessity for radical political alternatives to counter the far right’s exploitation of climate change. This book will be of interest to researchers of climate change the far right neoliberal capitalism extremism and Australian politics.

Intersectional Lives Chinese Australian Women in White Australia

Intersectional Lives Chinese Australian Women in White Australia

Intersectional Lives explores the varied experiences of Chinese Australian females across time and place during the White Australia Policy era (1901-1973). Chinese Australian women’s personal reflections are examined alongside postcolonial feminist readings of official records to illustrate how their everyday lives were influenced by multiple and fluid identities and subject positions including migrant mother daughter wife student worker entrepreneur and cultural custodian. This book provides new ways to conceptualise Chinese females in the diaspora as gendered classed culturally varied and racialised individuals with multiple forms of oppression agency and mobility. It offers a revision of patriarchal understandings of Chinese Australian history and broader understandings of overseas Chinese migrations and settlement experiences. It also demonstrates how historical geography informed by postcolonial feminist approaches can facilitate more nuanced understandings of past (and present) times and places that include women’s diverse experiences at the domestic local national and international scale. This book will appeal to social and cultural geographers with additional audiences of interest in history and historical geography ethnic and racial studies gender studies diaspora studies migration studies and gender and feminist studies.

Cosmological Readings of Contemporary Australian Literature Unsettling the Anthropocene

Cosmological Readings of Contemporary Australian Literature Unsettling the Anthropocene

This book presents an innovative and imaginative reading of contemporary Australian literature in the context of unprecedented ecological crisis. The Australian continent has seen significant rapid changes to its cultures and land-use from the impact of British colonial rule yet there is a rich history of Indigenous land-ethics and cosmological thought. By using the age-old idea of ‘cosmos’—the order of the world—to foreground ideas of a good order and chaos reciprocity and more-than-human agency this book interrogates the Anthropocene in Australia focusing on notions of colonisation farming mining bioethics technology environmental justice and sovereignty. It offers ‘cosmological readings’ of a diverse range of authors—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—as a challenge to the Anthropocene’s decline-narrative. As a result it reactivates ‘cosmos’ as an ethical vision and a transculturally important counter-concept to the Anthropocene. Kathrin Bartha-Mitchell argues that the arts can help us envision radical cosmologies of being in and with the planet and to address the very real social and environmental problems of our era. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of Ecocriticism Environmental Humanities and postcolonial transcultural and Indigenous studies with a primary focus on Australian New Zealand Oceanic and Pacific area studies. | Cosmological Readings of Contemporary Australian Literature Unsettling the Anthropocene

Subterranean Imaginaries and Groundwater Narratives

Subterranean Imaginaries and Groundwater Narratives

This book interrogates the problems of how and why largely unseen matter in this case groundwater has found limited expression in climate fiction. It explores key considerations for writing groundwater narratives in the Anthropocene. The book investigates a unique selection of climate fiction alongside an exploration of hydrosocial environmental humanities through a focus on groundwater and groundwater narratives. Providing eco-critical analysis with creative fiction and non-fiction excerpts interwoven throughout and drawing on Indigenous Australian and Australian settler novels and poems alongside European American and Japanese texts the book illuminates the processes of ‘storying with’ subterranean waters – their facts uncertainties potencies and vulnerabilities. In a time when the water crisis in an Australian and worldwide context is escalating in response to global warming giving voice to the complexities of groundwater extraction and pollution is vital. Drawing from non-representational posthumanist and feminist perspectives the book provides an important contribution to transnational comparative climate fiction analysis enabling an interdisciplinary exchange between hydrogeological science and the eco-humanities. This book is an engaging read for scholars and students in creative writing environmental humanities cultural and post-colonial studies Australian studies and eco-critical literary studies. Writers and thinkers addressing the problems of the Anthropocene are called to pay attention to the importance of subterranean imaginaries and groundwater narratives.

Social Policy Public Policy From problem to practice

Social Policy Public Policy From problem to practice

'Seldom has a senior public servant been so candid. As a key policymaker Meredith Edwards takes us inside the process to reveal how we get the policies the affect so much of our lives. ' - Paul Kelly International Editor The Australian'This innovative and important volume unique in the policy literature provides ideas and case studies of interest to everyone who cares about the quality of Australian public policy. It will be an indispensable guide to past choices and its lessons should help shape future Australian social policy decisions. ' - Dr Glyn Davis co-author of The Australian Policy HandbookHow are social policies conceived developed and put into practice? Based on four case studies of social policy reforms in which the author was a major player (the Child Support Scheme AUSTUDY the Higher Education Contribution scheme (HECS) and long-term employment policies presented as 'Working Nation') Social Policy Public Policy provides insights into what is often otherwise seen as a 'black box' on how policy advice occurs. Meredith Edwards' personal experience revealed in extracts from her journal provides a picture of what social policy participants actually do something on which too little has been written. Questions addressed in the book include: How was the policy problem identified and articulated and by whom? What were the key ingredients in policy analysis? When did consultation occur and in what form? How was the policy decision arrived at? What were the events between decision and implementation? And what evaluation processes occurred?Social Policy Public Policy is essential reading for all students of public policy and policy advisers. | Social Policy Public Policy From problem to practice
