Loving Work:Surviving, Gathering and Dreaming for Indigenous Futures
No full textT’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss is a Skwxwú7mesh, Stó꞉lō, Kānaka Maoli, Irish-Métis, and Swiss educator, interdisciplinary artist and Indigenous ethnobotanist. In this chapter, she and Denise Thwaites discuss how love, gathering and dreaming are central to Indigenous economies of cultural survival. The interview embraces embodied and ecological perspectives to consider how cultural inheritance can be reimagined beyond colonial paradigms, by embracing reciprocal relations with people, spirits and lands
There Will Be Broken Hearts:About Demystifying Old and Building New Techno-Economic Infrastructures, Interview with Denise Thwaites
Full text linkIn western neoclassical economies, the capacity of the market to self-regulate has acquired a divine status that continues to rule the world even as that market is pushing the planet into ecological and social imbalance. While the image of the market as a rational and self-regulated entity is a belief, the consequences of mainstream capitalism are a fact, and they are devastating for the earth and all of its inhabitants. In a conversation with Australian curator, Denise Thwaites, we discuss the inconsistencies of the ways in which we perceive the market and different. preconceptions around it. We also look into the possibilities of embracing the irrational an affective aspects of human nature in a different way, so they can point us towards new ways of collaborating and living together

The Laugh of Medusa:DAO Cultures and Affective Economies
No full textDecentralizing authority and power is an underpinning value for many involved in the DAO movement. Yet to what extent is the realisation of such intentions dependent upon cultural shifts that resist the formalism of these technical frameworks? In this presentation, Denise Thwaites will look to the work of feminist writers Sara Ahmed and Hélène Cixous to examine the affective economies emerging through DAO discourse. Through a particular DAO case study, she will explore how phallocentric systems that privilege particular expressions of accountability and transparency through practices of reputation requesting, DAO proposals, feedback and voting, may unintentionally marginalise diverse participation in these communities. Contrasting this to the affective economies that emerged through the clandestine phenomenon of Women’s Gifting Mandalas, Denise will invite us to explore how the transparency and opacity inherent to DAO technologies, may be embraced to re-imagine new cultures of organisation
ECONOMYTHOLOGIES ML#X
No full textMoneyLab #X Economythologies critically explores the working and un-working of myths that have/do/will shape our economic realities. Embracing the non-linearity of time and the multiplicity of actants that construct our economythologies, the program seeks to widen the aperture of our future. How might we conjure, in the words of VNS Matrix (1991) “the virus of the new world disorder/rupturing the symbolic from within” as “saboteurs of big daddy mainframe”?
This project was launched with a 2-day event and exhibitions, taking place across Ainslie+Gorman Arts Centre (Canberra) and Bett Gallery (Hobart) on 5th-6th November. The videos from these livestreamed sessions can now be found on their relevant topic pages.
Also take a look at our press kit and our community scrapbooking project, which will continueed to grow and transform over 2020-2021.

Transformative Heritage Economies:Reimagining Cultural Value, Exchange and Inheritance
No full textHow is the concept of economy relevant to contemporary heritage practices? This opening chapter to Alternative Economies of Heritage considers how economy has long infiltrated heritage imaginaries and practices, despite professional efforts to distinguish its aims from market-driven thinking. It argues that opening-up conversations about cultural inheritance to multi-disciplinary and multi-modal forms of inquiry offers a place for collaborative reimagining of the economy writ large

ESP Across Cultures
No full textThis present volume constitutes the third online edition of ESP Across Cultures.
The decision to change from a paper-based to an online edition has undoubtedly
been beneficial in terms of enjoying greater visibility within the international academic
community. One thing that has not changed over the years, however, since
the inception of the journal in 2004, has been the policy of double-blind peer reviewing,
which means that only a selected number of the papers submitted end up as
being published.
There are seven papers in the current issue, each one analysing a particular aspect
of English for Specific Purposes from a cross-cultural perspective.
The first paper, by Hmoud S. Alotaibi, focuses on research article introductions
in Arabic, analysing the extent to which scholars writing in Arabic in the sphere of
education adhere to the CARS (Create A Research Space) model delineated by John
Swales which was elaborated in particular with regard to the academic conventions
widely adopted in the English-speaking world. Instead of restricting the investigation
to the introductory section as past studies in this field did, the author examines
all of the subheadings and he concludes that all introductions include Move 2 in a
subheading entitled the Problem of the Study, a result that contradicts previous
findings where the paucity of Move 2 was common in non-English RAs, and especially
in Arabic ones.
Patrizia Anesa analyses the websites of the main arbitration centres operating in
Asia from a textual perspective to define how they are discursively constructed and
can be used as promotional tools, thereby helping us to evaluate the importance assumed
by internationalization processes or by local cultural elements in promoting a
particular centre as a seat for international arbitration. She concludes that while
some scholars argue that we are witnessing the ‘Asianization’ of arbitration, with
the increasing bargaining power of Asian parties, on the other hand a phenomenon
of ‘Universal Arbitration’ is also emerging, i.e. a form of convergence of how disputes
are resolved so that parties of any nationality can operate in the same way
with ever fewer language barriers.
In their paper, Mahmood Reza Atai and Fatemeh Asadnia examine the communicative
and promotional function of university homepages by looking at the ‘university
overview’, ‘university mission statement’, and ‘university introduction at a
glance’ genres, using a corpus of 210 texts selected from homepages of the top 500
universities ranked by the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The findings
demonstrated that the three genres shared communicative purposes, functional
units, certain moves and steps, socio-academic contexts, and discourse community
members that led to the formation of a genre set.
Gaetano Falco explores ways of using comics in an MA course on translation of
economic texts as a means of stimulating the interest of language students with no
economics skills in order to introduce economics-related lexis and improve thematic
competence in general. He observes that empirical research has shown that films
and comics can indeed be useful resources to teach economic translation to students
with no skills in economics. However, the author warns that the use of comics for
educational purposes may have its drawbacks, e.g. when students deal with complex
sign systems which embody complex economic concepts, where often the humorous
element is lost.
In her paper, Irina Khoutyz describes the differences in how scholars present
their findings in research articles (RA) in international journals in English and in

local journals in Russian. She then looks into the reasons for these differences, seeking
explanations from the sociocultural contexts in which these RAs were written,
as well as providing advice to local authors as to how to make their RAs more competitive
at the international level. The differences include the apparent lack of
structure of Russian RAs with respect to English RAs; the tendency in Russian authors
not to specify the purpose in writing a paper; and the tendency of Russian authors
to present the methodology used in less detail compared with English RAs.
Luisella Leonzini investigates the use of verbal and visual metaphors in economic-
media discourse within the context of the euro crisis by studying the correlation
between linguistic and pictorial metaphors and text-image intersemiotic relations.
The research is based on a cross-analysis of English and Italian editorial
articles published between 2009 and 2012. In both corpora, metaphorical realizations
frame the economic crisis which hit the single currency and the eurozone in
2009 as a partial collapse and hint at a possible return to stability in the form of a
recovery. The aim of this paper is to analyse the collapse/caduta and
recovery/ripresa metaphors across languages in the press.
Ian Robinson reports on using corpus linguistics to aid students in writing a creative
text. He looks at the available literature to help understand what is meant by
‘creativity’. A worksheet was prepared using a corpus linguistic analysis of modern,
English versions of the stories of the Brothers Grimm. This worksheet was constructed
with the use of a specialized corpus, and a stop-list was created which contained
single words as well as word clusters found in the tales. Students were then
asked to select some of these words and phrases to help them write stories which
were then analysed, and a follow-up questionnaire was used to elicit the students’
perceptions concerning creativity. The author concludes that creativity is essential
in EFL and that it is something to be fostered in students
