Abstract:
This thesis explores some of the issues involved in movement praxis in actor training, contextualising itself within the QUT Academy of the Arts in Brisbane and arts research in Australian Universities. To elucidate these issues the researcher applies the epistemology of Humberto Maturana's constitutive ontology (the philosophical underpinnings of the biology of cognition) in multiple sites of performance theory and practice, with particular reference to the movement learning of actors. The research process has focused on publishing articles and a monograph for different groups of observers o

This study investigates the requirements of the Australian actor's speaking voice in theatrical performance with a view to identifying any presently existing shortcomings in that voice and proposing a means of addressing problems. From sources including case studies and fieldwork projects, data emerge about voice and speech practice in the Australian theatre. Significant interviews with Voice experts from the Royal Shakespeare Company are included, as is a voice-oriented analysis of Louis Nowra's major plays.

This thesis aims to provide a view point from which we can understand the long-term historical transformations of Korean politics since the late fourteenth century. I will attempt to illustrate the overall configuration of Korean politics with sociological reference to three questions: what kinds of political events have occurred? Which political issues have led to the participation of major political actors? How have these actors shown their political orientation in practice and how have events and actors determined politics, or, if there is no determination, how have they influenced the over

Abstract:
Throughout the twentieth century increased interest in the training of actors resulted in the emergence of a plethora of acting theories and innovative theatrical movements in Europe, the UK and the USA. The individuals or groups involved with the formulation of these theories and movements developed specific terminologies, or languages of acting, in an attempt to clearly articulate the nature and the practice of acting according to their particular pedagogy or theatrical aesthetic. Now at the dawning of the twenty-first century, Australia boasts quite a number of schools and university course

Under traditional International relations theory, diplomacy relates to relations between sovereign nations.

This thesis examines the multijurisdictional National Heavy Vehicle Regulator to understand the contemporary governance of Australia as a federation. Through the application of enhanced governance models and creation of a diagnostic tool Australian Pragmatic Federalism Theory is advanced to describe, explain and potentially predict intergovernmental structures and processes in the Australian Federation. Using Actor-network Theory to reveal the (re)deployment of power amongst actors and incorporating Multi-level Governance theory into extant models revealed that while centralisation is occurrin

Abstract:
Les États-Unis ont traditionnellement été accusés de ne pas avoir de réelle politique africaine. Une période semble échapper à cette affirmation car elle a été particulièrement riche dans ce domaine. Il s’agit des années 1975 à 1995 et particulièrement de la zone de l’Afrique australe. Cette politique étrangère a néanmoins été fluctuante au gré des présidences et influencée tant par la guerre froide et par des impératifs de politique nationale.Après l’effondrement de l’empire portugais, les États-Unis sont pris au dépourvu dans cette région stratégique à divers titres.

Thesis (LLM )--Stellenbosch University, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the field of administrative law, the judiciary has traditionally exercised control over the administrative actions of the executive through judicial review. However, judicial review is neither the most effective nor the most efficient primary control mechanism for systemic administrative improvement. In a country faced with a task of =transformative constitutionalism‘, and hindered with scarce resources, there is good cause to limit judicial intervention as the first response to administrative disputes.

Pre-contractual material disclosure and representation from an insurance policy proposer is the most important element for insurers to make a decision on whether a proposer is insurable and what are the terms and conditions if the proposal by the proposer is able to be insured. The issue this thesis researches and investigates focus on the issues related to the pre-contractual non-disclosures and misrepresentations of an insured under the principle of utmost good faith, by operation of laws, can achieve with different results in different jurisdiction.

"Whose story is it anyway?: An explanation of how `academic literacy' was constructed in a university transition course for Indigenous Australians during a period of organisational change." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2006. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/99.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines how a group of lecturers who taught in a university preparation course designed for Indigenous Australians thought about what `academic literacy' meant. Lecturers were asked to consider the relationships between the meanings of `academic literacy' , curriculum, and the considerable problems the Course was facing in order to remain viable. My research goal was to better understand what alignment of people, ideas, and other important entities would be required to develop a sustainable program for Indigenous people seeking an alternative pathway into university degrees.

Abstract:
I investigated the past, present and possible futures of Australia’s ocean pools, over a hundred public seawater pools sited on rocky surfcoasts, so that waves wash over their walls. My interdisciplinary analysis informed by actor-­‐network theory explored their contributions to surf, beach, pool and body cultures and recreational coasts. Ocean pools have since the nineteenth century been far more significant in the surf, beach, pool and body cultures of Australia and South Africa, than in those of Britain and the United States. Most of Australia’s ocean pools lie within state of New South Wal

Abstract:
Using critical realism as a philosophy and methodology, this thesis seeks to identify underlying social structures, powers and mechanisms that could contribute to the persistence of inequality in the average life expectancy at birth between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the non-Indigenous population of Australia in the 21st century. In 2018 Australians were among the world’s longest-lived populations. However, the gap in life expectancy at birth between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is ten years (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2018b, p. 29). Social

Full text
Abstract:
The debate about whether to label the mass killing of Ottoman-Armenians in the early twentieth century as “genocide” has emerged in geographically distant Australian parliamentary discussions and decisions. The struggle to use and refuse such terms is deeply felt by the Australian-Armenian and Australian-Turkish ethnic-migrant communities, for each of which the reframing is a question of cultural identity and a source of tension. This thesis explores how and why contentious international debates on the histories affecting the Armenians and Turks make their way into Australian State Parliaments
