Four Observations on Openings in Calls to Kids Help Line

Australian children’s helpline. It focuses on the openings of the calls to show \ud
the ways in which these young callers disclose and describe their troubles and \ud
delicate or sensitive matters to adult counsellors, and how these counsellors, in \ud
turn, display an awareness of the interactional sensitivity of these descriptions

'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Movement Behaviour of Traditionally Managed Cattle in the Eastern Province of Zambia Captured Using Two-Dimensional Motion Sensors
No full textTwo-dimensional motion sensors use electronic accelerometers to record the lying, standing and walking activity of cattle. Movement behaviour data collected automatically using these sensors over prolonged periods of time could be of use to stakeholders making management and disease control decisions in rural sub-Saharan Africa leading to potential improvements in animal health and production. Motion sensors were used in this study with the aim of monitoring and quantifying the movement behaviour of traditionally managed Angoni cattle in Petauke District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. This study was designed to assess whether motion sensors were suitable for use on traditionally managed cattle in two veterinary camps in Petauke District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. In each veterinary camp, twenty cattle were selected for study. Each animal had a motion sensor placed on its hind leg to continuously measure and record its movement behaviour over a two week period. Analysing the sensor data using principal components analysis (PCA) revealed that the majority of variability in behaviour among studied cattle could be attributed to their behaviour at night and in the morning. The behaviour at night was markedly different between veterinary camps; while differences in the morning appeared to reflect varying behaviour across all animals. The study results validate the use of such motion sensors in the chosen setting and highlight the importance of appropriate data summarisation techniques to adequately describe and compare animal movement behaviours if association to other factors, such as location, breed or health status are to be assessed.</p
Playing the cancer card: illness, performance and spectatorship
No full textPhDPlaying the Cancer Card: Illness, Performance and Spectatorship investigates
the experience of spectatorship in relation to illness, an area that has received
comparatively little attention in Performance Studies. The thesis interrogates
these concerns through original interviews, archival research, close textual
readings of performances and performance documentation and draws on critical
frameworks, primarily from performance, literary and cultural studies concerning
spectatorship, illness, disability, documentation and narrative. The project
analyses both my performances that exemplify being an object of spectatorship
and my experiences as a spectator to the performance of illness.
! Playing the Cancer Card argues that performance, through the
experiences of spectatorship that it invites, works to broker the chasm between
embodied experience of illness and discourses of that experience. The
Introduction reviews academic literature and examines relationships between
illness and models of disability. In Chapter 1, readings of work by Sontag,
Spence and Baker demonstrate how individuals may strategically reject public
production of, and spectatorship to, their work. Chapter 2 analyses interviews
with Baker and Marcalo, demonstrating how performance can generate
tensions between artists and advocacy groups when modes of spectatorship —
regarding propriety and community politics — are policed. In Chapter 3, an
analysis of cancer blogs elucidates how they may redress limitations imposed
by traditional narrative structures around illness, forging new relationships
between the ill and their spectators. Here I also consider my performances that
respond to the pervasiveness of traditional narratives. Chapter 4 examines Fun
with Cancer Patients, my practice-based research project, and argues that by
addressing constructions of cancer, one may create work that productively
addresses spectators who both have and have not experienced cancer. In the
Conclusion, I evaluate two of my projects that address illness tangentially,
arguing that understanding ourselves as spectators and objects of
spectatorship can expand discourses surrounding embodied experience,
especially of illness
