16:00 - EVENT - Archaeology Seminar Series : Some Key Issues in South American Archaeology:Colonization, Discontinuities, and Linguistic Replacements
|
More Information
|
South America was the last large continental landmass to be peopled by humans, during the Late Pleistocene,
initiating an occupational history of ca. 15.000 years. This presentation outlines this history from a biogeographical and demographic perspective, by selecting a few cases extending from Colombia (10º N), in the northern end of
South America, to Tierra del Fuego Island (53º S). This perspective is highly selective, seeking to illustrate some of
the main issues being discussed in South American archaeology.
Three processes are selected that span the human peopling. First, the early human colonization and the behavioral
variability associated with this process. In this context, the Island of Tierra del Fuego allows a comparative analysis
with Tasmania. Secondly, a large-scale archaeological discontinuity recorded at several regions during the Mid-
Holocene, which may have had profound demographic implications. The ‘Islands in the Interior’ (sensu Veth 1993)biogeographical model is a useful frame for assessing this case. Finally, a discussion of the so-called Late Holocene Araucanización process of linguistic diffusion is used to explore the dynamics of linguistic replacements. The
Australian Pama Nyungan case is an obvious target for comparison. On the basis of this presentation, some
significant processes and mechanisms are identified, which are interesting points of departure for comparative
endeavors.

11:00 - SEMINAR - Are we Postnational yet? : Seminar - Anthropology & Sociology
|
More Information
|
Academic debate about the anachronism of national borders has been common for some time. The general population, however, has been less keen to embrace such ideas. This paper considers some of the academic arguments, and then offers evidence from focus groups conducted across Australia, that indicates that in some quarters thinking beyond the nation is occurring. It argues that the ideology of the nation state remains extremely strong among the general population, who use a particular rhetorical device, ‘the principle/practical’ dichotomy, to attempt to shut down conversation about the possibility of moving beyond national borders to a state of postnationalism. However, it also offers evidence that some Australians are able to think past the taken-for-granted nationalism that this viewpoint represents, if not to consider alternatives, at least to recognise the arbitrariness of current practice. The paper considers the degree to which such arguments are acts of ‘banal anti-nationalism’ or indeed, postnationalism.

13:00 - SEMINAR - Anthropology Seminar : Atikamekw postcolonial territoriality: A complex co--existence and entanglement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous regimes of values
|
More Information
|
The
Atikamekw
are
an
Algonquian
group,
now
living
in
three
communities
in
the
Upper
St-
Maurice
region
(Québec,
Canada)
and
number
around
6,000
people.
While
they
have
been
“invited”,
all
through
the
colonial
period,
to
gradually
exclude
themselves
from
Nitaskinan,
their
ancestral
lands,
they
maintain
to
this
day
intimate
relationships
with
their
territory.
In
order
to
regain
and
affirm
their
autonomy,
the
Atikamekw
are
engaged
at
three
interrelated
levels:
at
the
national
political
level,
in
arduous
land
claims
negotiations
with
the
federal
and
provincial
governments;
at
the
regional
technical
level,
in
their
attempts
to
conclude
co-management
agreements
with
non-Indigenous
groups
of
interests,
like
the
forestry
industry;
and
at
the
level
of
the
communities/settlements,
on
a
more
social
and
cultural
basis.
The
Atikamekw
are
concerned
with
the
maintenance
and
the
reproduction
of
their
customary
land
tenure
system,
based
on
family
territories,
while
constantly
adapting
it
to
new
constraints,
namely
Quebec’s
administrative
delimitations
and
non-Indigenous
activities
on
Nitaskinan.
The
Atikamekw
family
territories,
as
postcolonial
spaces,
have
thus
become
the
grounds
of
complex
co-existence
and
entanglement
between
Indigenous
and
non-Indigenous
regimes
of
values,
land
tenure
systems,
forms
of
governance,
and
conceptions
of
the
forestland
and
its
non-human
inhabitants.
The
Atikamekw
are
also
concerned
about
the
transmission
of
knowledge,
values
and
ethos
pertaining
to
hunting
and
gathering
to
the
younger
generations
and
explore
novel
avenues
to
meet
that
objective.
These
different
forms
and
levels
of
engagement
will
be
discussed
in
my
paper.

16:00 - SEMINAR - Archaeology Seminar Series : Summary of Results of the 2013 Field School at Fremantle Prison
|
More Information
|
This year’s archaeological field school (ARCY3002) took place at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fremantle
Prison. Field work began on September 23rd and continued until Oct 4th. In this presentation we will discuss the
background history of the site, the areas chosen for investigation, an overview of our programmatic agreement with
the facility, and UWA’s five year on-going plan for excavation. Three of the Masters of Professional Archaeology
students functioned as trench supervisors and will present a summary of their individual findings and experiences.
This year’s investigations revealed insight into the history of the original bath-house, its refurbishment, the complex
drainage system and its problematic nature. It also helped us understand some of the refuse disposal practices related
to the upper yard, particularly the infirmary during the early twentieth century. These are but small windows into
the archaeology of a very complex heritage resource, and it was a great experience for everyone involved.

13:30 - SEMINAR - Asian Studies Seminar Series : Moving out of the Kitchen”
|
More Information
|
In this seminar, I will give an overview of the background of the project, and introduce some of the aims of my research. What I am going to present is a study of migration as practiced by an Indonesian ethnic group, the Bugis. The Bugis homeland is the low-land central-western part of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. As most scholars emphasise the same key word, i.e. ‘sompe’ or ‘passompe’ to describe the Bugis migrants and deny the spirit of ‘mallekke dapureng’ in analysing the Bugis migration. Mallekke dapureng literally means ‘moving out the kitchen’; interpreted as moving the whole family out to another place and not intending to return to the initial home. Although both sompe and mallekke dapureng have similar meaning, they indeed refer to different motives. The typical difference is that mallekke dapureng is permanent; while sompe refers to mobile settlers or migrants. We can distinguish the terms from the destination of Bugis settlers. Thus, my argument is focused on the permanent migration. In this case, I will focus on Bugis migrants in a transmigration area. My aim is to explore the changing meaning of migration in Bugis settlement as mobile migrants become permanent migrants. The motives of these migrants, how they create a new frontier world, and how they penetrate the indigenous community; are among the questions I aiming to answer. Furthermore, I intend to reconstruct the Bugis notion of merantau (lit. to wander) with a new interpretation. By this, the original contribution will be to bring new evidence of the Bugis process of settlement Indonesia.
Callaway Series is unreserved and ticketed at the door. All tickets are $10.00.
Doors open 15 minutes prior to the event.
