Clint Bracknell - Songs from the South: The Wirlomin Project and
Southern Noongar Song

Aboriginal people, language and song inform a rich sense of place in
Australia. Wirlomin Noongar people from the southwest are in the process
of claiming, consolidating, enhancing and sharing their endangered
cultural heritage. In this context, I will examine the value of
community-driven Aboriginal language revitalisation and the potential
function of local Aboriginal song idioms in broader cultural
sustainability activities.

Makoto Takao - Glocal Emotion: Performative Practices of Jesuit
Conversion in Early Modern Japan

This thesis will explore Jesuit conversion policy in Japan during the
Christian Century (1540-1650). It will specifically analyse the means by
which performative practices were employed as a way of fostering faith
through the use of music, drama, and visual arts. These modes of
communication embody inherent emotive potency, and the measure of their
success can be best identified as degrees of affectivity amongst the
converted.
