The Face of Water: New and Selected Poems
No full textMcCallum’s poems reflect her rooting in a Jamaican experience unique for her childhood in a Rastafarian home filled with reckless idealism, the potential for profound emotional pathology, and the grounding of old folks traditions. Her work has explored what it means to emerge from such a space and enter a new world of American landscapes and values. The Face of Water collects some of Shara Mccallum’s best poems, poems that establish her as a poet of deft craft (and craftiness), whose sense of music is caught in her mastery of syntax and her ear for the graceful line. She manages in these poems to enact the grand alchemy of the best poems—the art of transforming the most painful and sometimes mundane details of life into works of terrible and satisfying beauty. McCallum demonstrates eloquently her debt to the poetics of the Caribbean and of North America, even as she establishes herself as a vital voice in the later tradition of poetry written in mutable language, English. As poet she feels no hesitation about turning that language into a very personal music. The Face of Water is an excellent introduction to the poetry of Shara McCallum, a vital and exciting poet of pure elegance.
From Jamaica, Shara McCallum is the author of This Strange Land, Song of Thieves, and The Water Between Us. She teaches and directs the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University.https://digitalcommons.bucknell.edu/books/1015/thumbnail.jp

ARTIST STATEMENT: The following excerpt was transcribed from the National Film Board of Canada “From Flores” VHS case a copy of which is available online at http://www3.nfb.ca/sg/100205.pdf (Accessed December 28, 2016). “About the Filmmaker: In “From Flores,” Stephen McCallum continues his exploration of film as a vehicle for artistic expression and a means of representing fundamental life themes. Building on the style of rendering and animation he developed in his first film, “Debts,” he has successfully transformed the power of fine literature into the medium of film. Stephen believes that effective storytelling is a significant aspect of the filmmaker’s role, and that film can be an important extension of the oral tradition. He is committed to animation as a serious art form, and finds inspiration by combining ideas and insights from a variety of disciplines including art history, social history, science, philosophy and literature. With eight years of work in animation to build on, he looks forward to exploring new forms in future projects.”

Punishing welfare : genealogies of child abuse
No full textOfficial statistics on child protection in Australia suggest that child abuse is at crisis levels, providing a context for the most recent legislative and regulatory changes in child protection in Victoria; these promote community-managed services, voluntary care agreements, informal legal processes and fast-tracking of child
intervention. This article sets out the rudiments of a genealogical account of the category of child abuse, placing the present events in the context of historical shifts in how the problem of child abuse is conceived and acted upon. It draws attention to new forms of power in relation to the policing of children and families, and their corresponding modes of subjectification that seek to fabricate individual responsibility for the underlying social arrangements surrounding children and families
Has welfarist criminology failed? Juvenile justice and the human sciences in Victoria
No full textIn the present context of ‘get tough on crime’ and ‘back to criminal justice’ campaigns that continue to dominate political agendas throughout Australia, critics point to the inadequacy of ‘welfarist’ or reformist criminological and sociological theories that have informed interventions in the past, and reinforce the need for ‘retributive justice’ models of penal policy. This paper examines historical evidence on the role of the human sciences in juvenile justice administration during the 1940s, a formative time when psychiatric, psychological and social work expertise came together in the form of the Children’s Court Clinic in Victoria. It suggests that contemporary critiques about the failure of the welfare model of juvenile justice inadequately captures the historical functioning of expertise in justice administration and the real extent to which the welfare model as ‘actual rehabilitative intervention’ was ever implemented
Conduct disorder : the achievement of a diagnosis'
No full textThis paper explores the historical shapings behind the diagnosis of conduct disorders. We take as our point of purchase oppositional ways of knowing the subject of conduct disorder—as either pathologically motivated or as the victim of a repressive mandate to control disorderly conduct. We take our cue from Foucault's suggestion that the pursuit of singular motivations behind a phenomenon is not the most fruitful means of understanding its historical appearance. We explore the emergence of the individual with conduct disorder as an appearance contingent upon dispersed agencies of government—an artefact of dispersed technologies for channelling and directing a population
Burlington An Urban study
No full textTitle: Burlington An Urban study, Author: John A. McCallum, Location: ThodeThe town of Burlington, located at the southwestern corner of
Lake Ontario {see Figure 1), has for the past fifteen years been growing
at a startling rate. Startling, for in this brief period of time the
population has roughly tripled. Noted just a few years ago for its farms
and orchards, the town has in recent years become a beehive of residential,
commercial and industrial activity. What factors have been responsible for
this transition? How has it taken place? How have these factors affected
the pattern of man's life in Burlington? It is the purpose of the following
chapters to examine and to answer these questions.ThesisBachelor of Arts (BA
Gender and Sociality in Amazonia:How Real People Are Made
No full textThis is the first book to focus directly on gender in Amazonia for nearly thirty years. Research on gender and sexual identity has become central to social science during that time, but studies have concentrated on other places and people, leaving the gendered experiences of indigenous Amazonians relatively unexplored. McCallum explores little-known aspects of the day-to-day lives of Amazonian peoples in Brazil and Peru. Taking a closer look at the lives of the Cashinahua people, the book provides fascinating insights into conception, pregnancy and birth; naming rituals and initiation ceremonies; concepts of space and time; community and leadership; exchange and production practices; and the philosophy of daily life itself. Through this prism it shows that in fact gender is not merely an aspect of Amazonian social life, but its central axis and driving force. Gender does not just affect personal identity, but has implications for the whole of community life and social organization. The author illustrates how gender is continually created and maintained, and how social forms emerge from the practices of gendered persons in interaction. Throughout their lives, people are 'being made' in this part of the Amazon, and the whole of social organization is predicated on this conception. The author reveals the complex inter-relationships that link gender distinctions with the body, systems of exchange and politics. In so doing, she develops a specific theoretical model of gender and sociality that reshapes our understanding of Amazonian social processes. Building on the key works from past decades, this book challenges and extends current understandings of gender, society and the indigenous people of Amazonia.</p
