Eating the ocean
No full textIn Eating the Ocean Elspeth Probyn investigates the profound importance of the ocean and the future of fish and human entanglement. On her ethnographic journey around the world's oceans and fisheries, she finds that the ocean is being simplified in a food politics that is overwhelmingly land based and preoccupied with buzzwords like "local" and "sustainable." Developing a conceptual tack that combines critical analysis and embodied ethnography, she dives into the lucrative and endangered bluefin tuna market, the gendered politics of "sustainability;' the ghoulish business of producing fish meal and fish oil for animals and humans, and the long history of encounters between humans and oysters. Seeing the ocean as the site of the entangle¬ment of multiple species - which are all implicated in the interactions of technology, culture, politics - and the market enables us to think about ways to develop a reflexive ethics of taste and place based in the realization that we cannot escape the food politics of the human fish relationship

Healthy shame? An interchange between Elspeth Probyn and Thomas Aquinas
No full textIn her recent book Blush: Faces of Shame, Elspeth Probyn offers a profile of shame drawing on the disciplines of psychology, sociology and cultural anthropology. She argues that shame is a) inherently value-oriented, b) necessary for human well-being and c) universal or essential as a human phenomenon. This approach to shame has significant resonances with the theological anthropology and christian ethics of Thomas Aquinas. In exploring these authors, we can gain a clearer picture of the transformative function of shame in the personal, social, cultural and moral dimensions of human life
Eating/space/media
No full text[Extract] Reading the articles for this themed section had me reeling. They are each so individually scrumptious, and together so rich that my head and stomach went in all sorts of different directions at once. Given the speculation tht the enteric nervous sysstem is "our body's second brain", reading these papers stimulated several gut feelings. Certainly, the description of competitive eaters made me feel quite queasy. But as I've argued recently (Probyn, 2016a), feeling seasick and being at all sea can be useful prompts to thinking differently
Australia - a creative economy?
No full textThe notion of the 'creative industries' has gained some purchase in contemporary policy and industry debate in OECD countries and several others, across both the east and west. The term has been in play in Australia since the late 1990s, and there have been some gains around policy thinking and programme roll-out, as well as industry strategy. This paper does not rehearse in any detail the creative industries 'problematic' or the present state of play. Rather, it looks somewhat over the horizon, to the broadening of the debate into one about the conditions for a 'creative economy,' and a few of the key issues presenting for Australia if it is to think itself as such an economy and society. This is essentially the goal of the new Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation, of which I am the Director-designate
