    Arts and business: The impact of business models on the activities of major performing arts organisations in Australia
    Caust, J (University of Queensland, School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies, 2010)
    Managerial business models were first introduced to Australian subsidised performing arts organisations by the then Howard Coalition government in 2000. Until the early 1990s, Australian arts organisations were contextualised as 'not for profit' entities, with an overall objective of producing good art. Over the past decade, however, major Australian performing arts organisations have been viewed more frequently as part of an 'industry' and, within this industry construct, framed as 'business entities', with a need to prove positive financial outcomes as a first priority. This article explores what is meant by business models in the context of Australian major performing arts organisations and looks at the impact of this approach.

    Cultural wars in an Australian context: challenges in developing a national cultural policy
    Caust, J (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015-03-15)
    In March 2013, the Australian Federal Labor Government released Creative Australia. This document was described as the first national Cultural Policy statement in 20 years since the publication by a previous Labor Government of Creative Nation in 1994. However, within 6 months of the launch of this new policy, a Coalition (Conservative) Federal government was elected in September 2013. Up till now, Coalition Governments have rejected the need for a national cultural policy, so the future for Creative Australia may in fact be both contested and limited. Indeed, during the previous Federal Coalition Government a ‘cultural war’ erupted between the government and artists and intellectuals, over the latter’s desire for an Australian cultural policy. This paper addresses questions around the process of developing this new national cultural policy, why it occurred, and what future it might have now there is a new Coalition Federal Government in power.

    Dead Europe and the Coming of Age in Australian Literature: Globalisation, Cosmopolitanism and Perversity
    Ng, L (Australian National University, 2013)
    This essay uses Christos Tsiolkas’ 2005 novel, Dead Europe, to re-examine the traditional binary established between old Europe and new Australia. The definition of cosmopolitanism put forward by Tsiolkas takes into account charges of Eurocentricity laid against the concept itself, as well as reflecting on the ways in which cosmopolitanism changes given the accelerated processes of twenty-first century globalisation. In Dead Europe, Tsiolkas links Australia to a pan-European history, bringing national borders into question and broadening notions of Australian identity. I argue that Tsiolkas’ novel is a key example of a recent coming of age in Australian literature - the shift away from Australian national identity as inward-facing, naïve and rural-based, towards a more mature, urban, outward-facing understanding of Australians as culpable participants in global culture.

    Solid and Liquid Modernities in Regional Australia
    Varney, D ; Eckersall, P ; Hudson, C ; Hatley, B ; Reinelt, J ; Singleton, B (PALGRAVE, 2013-01-01)
    This chapter focuses on mobile and fluid identities in performance in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and in the Kimberley region of Western Australia: territories and regions with unique geographical and cultural features; that are closer to Asia than the large population centres of the nation; are both ancient and modern; and connected to local and global flows of culture, trade, technology and finance. Solid and liquid modernity cohabit in these regions in the form of iron ore, copper and gold and in the stocks and shares that circulate ‘free of fences, barriers, fortified borders and checkpoints’ in the global marketplace (Bauman, 2000: 14).
