2. [NEW ITEM] Nicholas Jose presents: UQP Makes History – a personal reflection, 31 August, Brisbane

In this 70th anniversary year of the University of Queensland Press (UQP), please join author Nicholas Jose as he presents the annual Fryer Lecture in Australian Literature, entitled “UQP makes history: a personal reflection”.

Great publishers make history through the books they produce. The list of work published by UQP allows us to chart the literary history of the past 70 years, revealing the changing contours of that history in response to developments in Australian culture and society.

When considering his formation as a reader, writer, and thinker, Nicholas Jose recalls UQP titles that marked the way, from Ian Fairweather’s The Drunken Buddha (1965) to Alexis Wright’s Plains of Promise (1997), and the “Paperback Poets” of the 1970s to Julie Koh’s Portable Curiosities (2016).

The UQP archive, held in the Fryer Library, enhances that history, including through what it documents of Jose’s first book, The Possession of Amber. His most recent story, ‘Beetroot’, appears in UQP’s 70th anniversary anthology Reading the Landscape: a celebration of Australian Writing (2018).

If you wish to nominate someone who was nominated for the same award last year, but was unsuccessful, there is no need to resend your nomination documents. Please just let the President know you wish to renominate that person, and last year’s nomination will be rolled over to this year.

Nominations are called for the following four Australian Archaeological Association Inc. Awards.

Closing Date: 30 September 2018

1. Rhys Jones Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Australian Archaeology

The Rhys Jones Medal is the highest award offered by the Australian Archaeological Association Inc. It was established in honour of Rhys Jones (1941-2001) to mark his enormous contribution to the development and promotion of archaeology in Australia. The Medal is presented annually to an individual who has made an outstanding and sustained contribution to the field. Established in 2002, previous winners include Isabel McBryde (2003), John Mulvaney (2004), and Sean Ulm (2017). A full list of past recipients can be found on the AAA website.

Note that nominees do not need to be members of the Association; be an Australian citizen; or work exclusively in Australia or on Australian material. Nominations longer than one page will not be read.

2. John Mulvaney Book Award

The Award was established in honour of John Mulvaney and his contribution and commitment to Australian archaeology over a lifetime of professional service. It acknowledges the significant contribution of individual or co-authored publications to the archaeology of the continent of Australia, the Pacific, Papua-New Guinea and South-East Asia, either as general knowledge or as specialist publications. Nominations are considered annually for books that cover both academic pursuits and public interest, reflecting the philosophy of John Mulvaney’s life work.

Nominees will have actively engaged with Indigenous communities to produce successful outcomes. The nature of nominations is flexible (e.g. video tape, audio tape, poster etc), considering the wide range of Indigenous collaborations and the remoteness of some communities. Nominators are strongly encouraged to include supporting statements from relevant Indigenous individuals or community organisations.

THEY’RE HERE! Tasmanian Heritage Symposia: Exploring Cultural Landscapes & Science Heritage, 9-12 November 2018 – call for submissions

Australia ICOMOS Heritage Symposia
Exploring Cultural Landscapes And Science Heritage
Initial Information & Call For Papers
Hobart, Tasmania, November 2018

Australia ICOMOS is holding two back-to-back Symposia in Hobart over 10-12 November 2018. The Cultural Landscape Diversity & the Implications for Management Symposium (10-11 November) and the Under the Microscope – Exploring Science Heritage Symposium (11-12 November) are timely fora to review and discuss the identification and management of these two aspects of cultural heritage – one an established, but rapidly developing area, and the other relatively invisible and little known.

  • Cultural Landscape Diversity & the Implications for Management Symposium – this symposium is aimed at exploring the diversity of cultural landscapes and what this diversity means for the identification, categorisation, assessment and management of cultural landscapes. It is intended as an opportunity to review where Australia is at in relation to the conservation of cultural landscapes, and to explore how best practice in this area can be maintained into the future.
  • Under the Microscope – Exploring Science Heritage Symposium – this symposium will shine light on the physical heritage of Australia’s long history of science and innovation and the identification and conservation of this ‘science heritage’. It is designed to be a multidisciplinary dialogue that explores the heritage of Australian science, including what science heritage is, what significant science heritage we have in Australia, and whether there are particular management needs for the conservation of this heritage.

The symposia are open to all people with an interest in cultural landscapes and/or science heritage. Each symposium will be a combination of presented papers with opportunities for discussion of the issues raised and the implications and needs for heritage conservation. A joint symposia field excursion on Sunday 11 November will present symposia participants with the opportunity to visit some outstanding and diverse Tasmanian cultural landscapes and science heritage sites within southeastern Tasmania.

More information on the two symposia (including the full call for papers) can be found at the Australia ICOMOS website.

Additional events

The Australia ICOMOS 2018 AGM will be held on Friday 9 November in the late afternoon; and the NSC-CLCR annual meeting will be held on Saturday 10 November immediately following the Cultural Landscapes Symposium. Members are encouraged to also attend these events.

The symposia registration fees are:

  • Cultural Landscapes Symposium – $85 per person
  • Science Heritage Symposium – $85 per person
  • Joint Symposia Excursion** – $95 per person

Registrations will open on Monday 20 August, and will close on Sunday 28 October.

**Please Note – registration for the Symposia Excursion is only open to individuals who also register for either/both of the symposiums.

Registrations will open on Monday 20 August, and will close on Sunday 28 October – further information will follow in upcoming newsletters.

Call for papers

We are now calling for papers for presentation at the Symposium. The deadline for submissions is Monday 8 October (for Science Heritage papers) & Monday 15 October (for Cultural Landscape papers) . Submissions should be sent to the Symposium Coordinator, Anne McConnell by email, and should include the presenter’s name, contact details and affiliation, and an abstract of no more than 250 words of your proposed paper. The full call for papers can be found at the Australia ICOMOS website.

This is a rare opportunity to discuss cultural heritage in a Tasmanian setting and to visit some special and unusual Tasmanian heritage places. We welcome your participation.

If you have any queries about the symposia, please contact the Symposium Coordinator, Anne McConnell by email.

Port Arthur Talk, 21 August 2018

“I always worked hard for my living but hunger drove me to it”: life after Port Arthur
presented by Dr Julia Clark

Irishman John Finelly/Finlay was accounting to the court for his theft of pork and clothing at Evandale in 1872. One of the minority of transportees who reoffended, his defence in court shed light on his struggle to survive in Tasmania. Why did men like him remain enmeshed in the convict system for decades, despite the bright promise of the New World?

This presentation will argue that this colonial society relentlessly and remorselessly drove men like John Finelly into lives composed of cycles of poverty, offending and incarceration.

Trained as an archaeologist, and having worked in museums, galleries and as a consultant, Julia spent the last 12 years of her career as manager of Interpretation and Collections at Port Arthur, where she was able to combine her interest in convict history and photography in research that has become her PhD thesis.

When: Tuesday 21 August 2018 at 5.30pm

Where: Junior Medical Officer’s House Conference Room (rear of the house), Port Arthur Historic Site

Australia ICOMOS Sydney Talk Series, 21 August

Three Issues on World Heritage: ‘Recovery and Reconstruction’, ‘Sites of Memory’
and ‘the future of the World Heritage Business of ICOMOS’
presented by Toshiyuki Kono

The World Heritage system has been constantly changing since its entry into force. However currently, on-going changes could give substantial impacts not only on the substance of World Heritage, but also its operational mechanism as well as the future (or the fate) of the Convention. This lecture will focus on three issues in this context. ICOMOS has been conducting a project on “recovery and reconstruction in post-trauma context” of cultural heritage since 2014. A recent activity focuses on creating a matrix for case studies. It has a wider scope than World Heritage and could contribute to discussions on some challenging cases as World Heritage sites. Another, newly emerging challenge is nominations of “Sites of Memory”. For instance, the World Heritage Committee meeting held this year in Manama, Bahrain, decided to postpone its decision on nomination of the WWI related sites submitted by France and Belgium. Why did it happen? Last, but not least, the World Heritage Committee has started to see if the current role model of the three Advisory Bodies (ICOMOS, IUCN and ICCROM) would be the optimal one for the Convention. These on-going discussions may substantially affect ICOMOS and its activities related to World Heritage.

What is the core of these discussions? This lecture will illustrate the background of these three issues and show possible options.

Toshiyuki KONO is a Distinguished Professor, at Kyushu University (Fukuoka, Japan). He currently (from 2017) serves as the President of the International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), an advisory body of UNESCO. He was a vice president of ICOMOS from 2014 through 2017. He is in charge of, among others, World Heritage issues. He has been active in UNESCO as an independent expert as well. For example, he served in 2010 as the Chairperson of the 3rd General Assembly of the State Parties of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage and was Chairperson of the Legal Committee of the 34th UNESCO General Conference in 2007. His recent publication in the field of international heritage law includes “Authenticity, notions and principles”, Change over Time, Fall 2014, Vol. 4, No.2, pp.436-460. In the field of private international law, he gave special lectures on “Efficiency in Private International Law” at the Hague Academy of International Law in 2013. He was chosen as one of three lecturers who were invited to publish lectures in its Pocket Book series in 2014. Besides his presidency of ICOMOS, he is among others Vice President and Titular Member of the International Academy of Comparative Law; the Chairman of the Committee for Intellectual Property and Private International Law at the International Law Association.

Time & Date: Tuesday 21 August 2018, 5.30pm for 6pm start

Cost: Students $10, Members $15, Non-members $20 payable in cash at GML Heritage

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja, 25 October, NSW

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja
Presented by the Australian Garden History Society, Southern Highlands Branch
Thursday 25 October 2018

Australian Garden History Society Southern Highlands Branch are pleased to present a symposium to be held in an evocative state-heritage area, Joadja Creek valley, 30kms west of Mittagong, the location of an abandoned nineteenth-century kerosene and shale oil mining town. The site is recognised for its heritage significance:

‘The isolation and beauty of Joadja valley, the comprehensiveness of its physical testimony to a great Australian industry, a vigorous Scottish community and a vanished technology make Joadja an extremely important element in the heritage not just of Wingecarribee Shire but of Australia and the world.’ – State Heritage Register Statement of Significance.

After a Welcome to Country by Gundungurra Elder, Trish Levett, a barbeque lunch will be provided on arrival in the valley. Owner Valero Jiminez and historian, Leonie Knapman, will take you on a tour of the valley including the ruins, the retorts, ‘Carrington Row’ and former orchards. Discussion will continue in the distillery café, led by Professor Emeritus Helen Armstrong AM. The particular focus will be on time and conflicting narratives of ‘gardening’ in the broader landscape. Dr Charles Massey OAM, author of ‘Call of the Reed Warbler’, will bring his deep knowledge of regenerative attitudes to land.

CONFERENCE / SYMPOSIUM CALL FOR PAPERS & OPEN REGISTRATIONS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unsettling Heritage symposium, 27 September, Melbourne – call for papers deadline: 30 August

Unsettling Heritage
Friday 27 September 2018 | A one-day symposium presented by the Emerging Heritage Professionals (Vic)

The word ‘heritage’ often conjures up images of static and unchanging buildings, gardens and cultural landscapes. Yet this belies the fact that the field of heritage is very much in flux, a site of conflict and contestation across communities, generations and socio-economic groups, encompassing both tangible and intangible significance and values.

Join the Emerging Heritage Professionals (Vic) for Unsettling Heritage, a symposium exploring the varied and shifting landscape of heritage in the 21st century.

We are currently seeking papers which critically respond to one or more of the following:

  • Difficult and uncomfortable stories and historic narratives
  • Whose Heritage? Identity, gentrification and multiculturalism
  • Social Justice – Reconciliation, self-determination and decolonising places and approaches
  • Challenges in responding to climate change and sustainable practice
  • Subverting heritage ‘silos’ and embracing interdisciplinary theory, practice and approach
  • Digital technologies, social media, virtual reality and new opportunities to understand and communicate the past

International Symposium for the Conservation, Research and Sustainable Development of Pre-Historic Heritage, 10-14 October 2018, Beijing – invitation to participate

International Symposium for the Conservation, Research and Sustainable Development of Pre-Historic Heritage
Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian, Beijing
10-14 October 2018

Dear Colleagues,

I’m writing to invite related experts and site managers from Australia to participate the International Symposium on the Conservation and Sustainable Development of Prehistoric Heritage, which will take place 11-13 October at the world heritage Peking Man Site in the suburb of Beijing. As the Willandra Lakes Region also falls into the category of prehistoric world heritage related to human evolution (ie. the type of sites of great scientific significance yet facing particular difficulties in attracting general public as touristic destination) it might be interesting for related heritage experts and site managers around the world to come together and exchange views and experience on it.

If related experts or site managers are interested and could come and join the discussion, it will be very much appreciated. If there’s not sufficient time for submitting a full paper before the conference, we will be grateful that the participating expert could give a short presentation sharing with us his or her reflections and insights on the subject. All the cost for participating the conference, including the international flights, food and accommodation etc. will be covered by the organizer.

Best regards from Beijing,
Li XIE
Senior Program Specialist

The policies will be out for consultation for eight weeks and all interested parties are invited to submit their comments via the SA Planning Portal or YourSAy website by Friday 7 September 2018.

A Summary of the Draft State Planning Policies for South Australia (PDF) is also available.

The draft State Planning Policies set out for the first time a state-wide vision for land use planning in South Australia that aims to improve the liveability, sustainability and prosperity of our state.

Sixteen policies are laid out that address the economic, environmental and social planning priorities for South Australia.

These policies consider changes to how and where South Australians live and work, as well as important issues such as housing supply and diversity; design quality; the adaptive re-use of buildings; climate change; and strategic transport infrastructure.

By bringing South Australia’s planning interests together in a single, over-arching vision, the State Planning Policies will generate greater clarity and efficiency in our planning system and give us the direction we need to respond to modern opportunities and challenges.

Your input will ensure that the State Planning Policies reflect the aspirations of the planning and development community as well as everyday South Australians.

In keeping with the Community Engagement Charter, a detailed communications and engagement plan has been written to support the release of these policies and a number of engagement activities are in progress. You can stay abreast of these through the Planning Ahead newsletter and the list of consultation events on the SA Planning Portal.
