Gender and generation in native title
No full textWhile gender and age are often noted as being important dimensions of Indigenous leadership and governance, they have rarely been examined in detail. This paper focuses specifically on the gender and age of directors on the boards of prescribed bodies corporate (PBCs), the corporations established to hold and/or manage native title rights and interests.
A predominant view persists of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women as excluded or marginalised in native title. Statistical data for the year 2011–12 reveals, however, that women’s representation on PBC boards is higher than that found in mainstream sectors, while the literature reveals a complex picture of cultural, historical, demographic, institutional and intercultural factors that influence men’s and women’s participation and power in the native title arena.
A key generational concern is the relatively low number of older people and the growing number of young people in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Viewed in relation to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and projected changes, the pool of potential PBC directors looks likely to grow in coming years. This paper argues that, as an increasingly significant sector, PBCs have the potential to both contribute to and benefit from the strengthening of community capacity but this potential will not be realised until the constraints on the capacity of PBCs to meet their statutory obligations and pursue native title holder aspirations are addressed.

Ameriscopia: The Kaleidoscopic Poetic of Edwin Torres between Sound, Language, Image
No full textIn 2014 the Arizona University Press published Ameriscopia, the last collection of poems by Edwin Torres, in the series “Camino del Sol” (a series completely devoted to latino and latina writers). In this volume, the poet-performer, who’d like to define himself as a lingualisualist, witty undertakes a demanding challenge. Torres offers several samples of performance pieces in print, while he tries to outline a new representation of the composite reality of New York, using his latino belonging as a starting point of an analysis of the contradictions of the whole country. Visions, memories, conversations, together with allusions and glimpses of the main sites of New York help the author to create an imaginary path through the multifaceted, wedge issue of Americanness. Since the language system is pivotal to convey identity, Torres’ linguistic investigation aims to explore the innumerable interconnections between representation and sense, sign and signified, in order to find new solutions for English and Spanish to inter-change, blur and melt into one another. At the core of this study there is a delicate equilibrium between image and sound inside the linguistic context. According to Torres, words, first of all, are images that go hand in hand with sounds and rhythms, and whose emotional and communicative power endorses the ability to create new language patterns. These linguistic models develop inside the margins and the fractures created into language, between languages and by collective consciousness. Moreover, they lay the foundation for Torres’ kaleidoscopic view of reality; for a different representation of a reality on an ongoing transformation and re-definition
