Abstract:

This thesis seeks to understand the social impacts that festivals have on their host communities. It focuses on community festivals as one type of event which have a particularly strong connection to their host community. Community festivals are traditionally organised by and for the local community, and often celebrate a theme that has developed from within the community itself. Community festivals provide members of a community with opportunities to engage in socialisation, entertainment and the establishment of social networks, which can contribute to the enhancement of community cohesion a

Abstract:

The focus of this sociological research is on the five most popular and commercially successful Australian indie music festivals: Livid, Big Day Out, the Falls festival, Homebake, and Splendour in the Grass. The three key features of Australian indie music festivals are, firstly, that they are multi-staged ticketed outdoor events, with clearly defined yet temporal boundaries. Secondly, the festivals have a youth-orientated focus yet are open to all ages. Finally, the festivals are primarily dominated by indie-guitar culture and music. My aim is to investigate how these music festivals are able

Abstract:

This study investigated the nature and extent of drug use associated with Australian music festivals, assessed current and potential future policy and practice strategies aimed at reducing the risk of drug-related harm at festivals, and developed evidence-based recommendations aimed at improving current strategies. Key recommendations included: expanding drug-checking services; ceasing the use of drug detection dogs; removing barriers to seeking medical attention; shifting to a harm reduction policy; and creating more enabling environments for harm reduction.

Australia had the world’s first gay film festival at the Sydney Filmmakers Co-op in June 1976, part of a larger commemoration of the Stonewall Riots in New York City of 1969. In 1994, South Africa became the first country in the world to prohibit discrimination in its constitution on the basis of sexual orientation, whilst allowing for positive discrimination to benefit persons disadvantaged by unfair discrimination. South Africa and Australia, both ex-British colonies, are used in this analysis to explore the way local Queer Cinematic Cultures have negotiated and continue to negotiate dominan

Abstract:

This thesis is a history of the Sydney and Melbourne International Film Festivals, and covers the years from 1945 to 1972. Based primarily on archival material, it is an organisational history dealing with the attempts by the two Film Festivals to negotiate between the demands of �culture� and �industry� throughout this period. The thesis begins with a consideration of the origins of the Festivals in the post-war period �with the attempts by non-Hollywood producers to break into the cinema market, the collapse of the �mass audience�, and the growth of the film society movement in Australia.

Abstract:

This thesis documents the early history of the City of Sydney Eisteddfod from its beginning in 1933 until it recessed in 1941 for the duration of the Pacific War. Eisteddfods had long been commonplace in Australia, but this competition began for political rather than cultural reasons in 1932, when organisers of the Harbour Bridge celebrations decided that since the spectacular edifice had made Sydney an icon on the world map, the city needed to cultivate a more sophisticated image. In observing events that led to its establishment, the project looks at the technological revolution of the 1920s

Abstract:

This study investigates different approaches to theatre audience studies to develop a new practical model for examining the embedded and intrinsic audiences in community-engaged performance projects with social orientations. The practical model is empirically tested in two Australian case studies, and augmented and enhanced through its application in three key audience categories: Envisaged Audience, Invited Audience and Actual Audience. This study argues that the proposed model is a useful tool for industry, in particular, to locate, illuminate and disrupt different points of views on audienc

Abstract:

This thesis is an ethnographic study of young people’s embodied experiences of youth-oriented live music events, including both festivals and single-headliner shows. The study draws on material generated through semi-structured interviews with twenty-one eighteen to thirty year olds, as well as my own experiences as a participant at live music events. The interconnected concepts of ‘embodiment’, ‘liveness’ and ‘entanglement’, are central to the analysis of this material, and are developed throughout the thesis. The works of both Drew Leder (1990) and Tim Ingold (2000, 2006) are utilised throug

Abstract:

Every year, more than eighty self-designated ‘folk festival’ events are staged throughout Australia. Mainly held in regional and rural towns, these are leisure events characterised by the presentation of formal folk music concerts, the staging of folk dance events as well as oral performances, street performance, and both formal and informal opportunities for music-making and folk engagement with a significant emphasis on attendee participation. Australian folk festivals are modern ‘public events’ – grounded phenomena in their own right, with internal structures of intentionality. This thesis

Abstract:

A deceptively simple and benign sign placed in a public park states, ‘Warning: You may find event equipment and patrons on the pathway’ (Figure T-2). The sign hints at the complexity and contradictions of public space and poses a curious question that continues to gain currency in multidisciplinary discourse: How public is public space? This thesis poses a further question by asking, Do temporary events pose a threat to public space? To answer both questions, the thesis draws on the historic trajectory of urban public space, culminating in an extensive appraisal of 20th century forms and progr

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>From the late 1960s, women in the Australian industrial city of Newcastle, New South Wales (NSW), joined women around the world in agitating for a broader role in all areas of society and Josephine Conway was one of those women. Josephine raised awareness of, and campaigned on, many of the feminist causes of the 1970s and 1980s. She was passionate about women’s healthcare, protested against women’s objectification in the media, and lobbied for legislation that offered legal parity for women. She fought never-ending battles for the right to leg
