Upcoming events
around the College
 | CONFERENCE | Photographies: new histories, new practices
Thursday, 10 July 2008 - Saturday, 12 July 2008
Finkel Theatre
This conference will focus on photography in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region from the earliest uses of the photographic medium up to the present day. The conference will be interdisciplinary in scope, exploring connections with anthropology, ethics, fashion, history, literature and much more. It aims to consider new ways of thinking about photographic history, writing and practice. |
 | SEMINAR | Body, Mimesis, and Vision: Filming African Spirit Possession
Friday, 11 July 2008 at 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Theatrette, Old Canberra House
In this seminar, Dr Cecilia Pennacini explores spirit possession, the "elementary form" of most African traditional religions, which is essentially a sensual experience based on corporeal language. It is a technique of the senses (seeing "visions", hearing "voices", feeling kinesthetic sensations) that enable people to communicate one to each other overcoming the limits of the individual body and even of different languages and cultures. |
 | PUBLIC LECTURE | "Mystic, awful was the process": the suspicious encounters of literature and photography
Saturday, 12 July 2008 at 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
National Library of Australia / ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences

The public lecture will close a three day conference on photography. |

Monday, 14 July 2008 at 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
CAIS Lecture Theatre, Building 127

 | PUBLIC LECTURE | The Commonwealth, the Courts and the Constitution
Wednesday, 16 July 2008 at 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
The Shine Dome, Gordon Street
This lecture will outline the manner by which the Commonwealth participates in, and thus influences the outcome of, constitutional cases before the courts, and argues that the Commonwealth's approach enables it to combine the best aspects of the public and private sectors. |
 | SEMINAR | The Architect and the Archaeologist: A Case Study of Norfolk Island - Canberra Archaeological Society Seminar
Wednesday, 16 July 2008 at 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Manning Clarke Centre Theatre 6
Norfolk Island conservation commenced in the late 1960s and continues today some 40 years on. During that period the architectural and archaeological aspects have evolved and changed as a result of a range of influences. The presentation will explore some of these influences and relationships. |
 | SEMINAR | Little more than girls: the youngest convicts transported on the Atwick (1838)
Friday, 18 July 2008 at 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Theatrette, Old Canberra House
None of the 25,000 women transported to Australia between 1788 and 1853 left self-authored accounts of their experiences. Most of what we know about these almost exclusively working-class women comes from the documentation of crime and punishment. These records, produced to serve the interests of the state, are often no more than lists filled out in response to formulaic categories, and yet some of the records yield snippets of story, as recent scholarship coming out of the Old Bailey On-line Project demonstrates. The records of trials at the Old Bailey can be read as records of story-telling within the generic restraints of courtroom discourse. |
 | PUBLIC LECTURE | Case Studies of Australian Social Policy- Family Payments
Monday, 21 July 2008 at 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
The Innovations Lecture Theatre, Innovations Building
This lecture traces the history of family payments in Australia from 1907 to 2008. The rationale of each policy direction is discussed and evaluated and ends with a consideration of the efficacy of the present system of payments and where we may be heading. |
