Julian as author: letters and legislation
No full textArgues that Julian the legislator had three personae; his own as personally the author of laws and letters; his legislative image as filtered by observers; and the truncated version preserved in the legal extracts of the Theodosian Code. Although the fist is more vivid (and perverse), the last is also important as a reminder of the routine duties of an emperor and the power of the Theodosian compilers to edit and thus change the past

David Kilcullen and Julian Burnside on tactics in the Iraq War
No full textAustralian-born David Kilcullen was the senior advisor to US General Petraeus during his time in Iraq, advising on counter-insurgency. The implementation of his strategies is now regarded as a major turning point in the war. Kilcullen is now advising the US military in Afghanistan. Here, in a brilliant discussion with human rights lawyer Julian Burnside at the Melbourne Writers Festival, he talks about the ethics and tactics of contemporary warfare.
David Kilcullen is a consultant to the US State Department on counterinsurgency and counterterrorism. He is the author of numerous publications including "The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One" and "Twenty-Eight Articles", a how to guide for junior commanders involved in counterinsurgency.
Julian Burnside is a human rights barrister and refugee advocate. He is the author of numerous publications and books including "On Privilege" and "Watching Brief: Reflections on Human Rights, Law and Justice".

Year-round sexual harassment as a behavioral mediator of vertebrate population dynamics
No full textWithin-species sexual segregation is a widespread phenomenon among vertebrates but its causes remain a topic of much debate. Female avoidance of male coercive mating attempts has the potential to influence the social structure of animal populations, yet it has been largely overlooked as a driver of sexual separation. Indeed, its potential role in long-term structuring of natural populations has not been studied. Here we use a comparative approach to examine the suitability of multiple hypotheses forwarded to account for sexual segregation (i.e. activity budget; predation risk; thermal niche - fecundity; and social factors) as drivers underlying sex-specific habitat use in a monomorphic model vertebrate, the small spotted catshark, Scyliorhinus canicula. Using this hypothesis-driven approach we show that year-round sexual habitat segregation in S. canicula can be accounted for directly by female avoidance of male sexual harassment. Long-term electronic tracking reveals sperm-storing female catsharks form daytime refuging aggregations in shallow water caves (~3.2 m water depth), and undertake nocturnal foraging excursions into deeper water (~25 m) most nights. In contrast, males occupy deeper, cooler habitat (~18 m) by day, and exploit a range of depths nocturnally (1 - 23 m). Males frequent the locations of shallow water female refuges, apparently intercepting females for mating when they emerge from, and return to, refuges on foraging excursions. Females partly compensate for higher metabolic costs incurred when refuging in warmer habitat by remaining inactive; however, egg production rates decline in the warmest months, but despite this, refuging behavior is not abandoned. Thermal choice experiments confirm individual females are willing to 'pay' in energy terms to avoid aggressive males and unsolicited male mating attempts. Long-term evasion of sexual harassment influences both the social structure and fecundity of the study population with females trading-off potential injury and unsolicited matings with longer term fitness. This identifies sexual harassment as a persistent cost to females that can mediate vertebrate population dynamics
Conversations with Danielle Cronin, Philip Howard and Julian Thomas
No full textThis chapter focuses on the expanding civic role and challenges for investigative journalists using digital and social media. The chapter includes conversations with Danielle Cronin (national deputy editor of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation), as well as Professor Philip Howard (director of the Oxford Internet Institute), along with Distinguished Professor Julian Thomas (director of the ARC Centre of Excellence at RMIT University). They share their insights into setting an agenda of priorities for research and practice about public interest journalism. This chapter is an edited transcription of their conversations with the author, Dr Caryn Coatney, for a panel session sponsored by the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association.

Julian of Norwich and her children today: Editions, translations and versions of her revelations
No full textThe viability of such concepts as "authorial intention," "the original text," "critical edition" and, above all, "scholarly editorial objectivity" is not what it was, and a study of the textual progeny of the revelations of Julian of Norwich--editions, versions, translations and selections--does little to rehabilitate them. Rather it tends to support the view that a history of reading is indeed a history of misreading or, more positively, that texts can have an organic life of their own that allows them to reproduce and evolve quite independently of their author. Julian's texts have had a more robustly continuous life than those of any other Middle English mystic. Their history--in manuscript and print, in editions more or less approximating Middle English and in translations more or less approaching Modern English--is virtually unbroken since the fifteenth century. But on this perilous journey, many and strange are the clutches into which she and her textual progeny have fallen
