Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)

Mudrooroo (1938 – 2019)
No full textThe chapter traces the events leading to the exclusion of Mudrooroo from the circle of Indigenous Australian authors, resulting in the erasure of the previously celebrated writer and critic from scholarly discourse, and eventually in the cancellation of his life work from the country’s institutions of cultural memory. The intervention of a local Aboriginal organisation to reject Mudrooroo’s claim to Indigenous ancestry was widely regarded as a final verdict of the ‘community’, paving the way for Aboriginal writer Anita Heiss to suppress his name in influential anthologies and websites, edited by Heiss during her brief career as an academic. Similarly, Irish-Australian Maureen Clark published a Ph. D. thesis and a series of articles aimed at delegitimizing Mudrooroo’s literary work that found a receptive scholarly audience. Clark explains Mudrooroo’s meeting with his mentor Mary Durack as a key to his career: he supposedly “negotiated” his Aboriginal identity in dialogue with Durack, with both “involved in a conscious act of complicity”. Heiss’ and Clark’s writings are equally characterized by an essentialist understanding of Aboriginality based solely on bloodline, as well as duplicitous scholarship and a wilful disregard of Mudrooroo’s complex personality and the unconventional trajectory of his life story
Meta-Design: A Conceptual Framework for End-User Software Engineering
No full textIn a world that is not predictable, improvisation, evolution, and innovation are more than a luxury: they are a necessity. The challenge of design is not a matter of getting rid of the emergent, but rather of including it and making it an opportunity for more creative and more adequate solutions to problems.
Meta-design is an emerging conceptual framework aimed at defining and creating social and technical infrastructures in which new forms of collaborative design can take place. It extends the traditional notion of system design beyond the original development of a system. It is grounded in the basic assumption that future uses and problems cannot be completely anticipated at design time, when a system is developed. Users, at use time, will discover mismatches between their needs and the support that an existing system can provide for them. These mismatches will lead to breakdowns that serve as potential sources of new insights, new knowledge, and new understanding
