    Rodrigo Arteaga: El artista que vincula ciencia, ecología y astronomía.
    Escobar Duenas, C ; Barcelo, J (El Desconcierto, 2016)
    “El sentido de la ecología parte de la pregunta si acaso existe un real límite entre lo natural y la cultura, y cuáles son esos límites que nos llevan a malas prácticas como sociedad, creando una distancia entre nosotros y la naturaleza" – Rodrigo Arteaga

    Entrevista con Marianne Hougen-Moraga y Estephan Wagner – Songs of Repression (Chile, Dinamarca, 2020)
    Escobar Duenas, C ( 2020)
    In this interview with Cristóbal Escobar, programmer at the Santiago International Documentary Festival (FIDOCS), the directors of "Cantos de represión", Estephan Wagner and Marianne Hougen-Moraga, comment on how they tried to transcend Manichean visions in their portrait of the settlers. “We always approach the people in the documentary with an open mind. Obviously we have our clear political positions, but to open up to dialogue we considered it necessary for the protagonists to be able to speak from their own logic”, she affirms. Recently awarded at the Valdivia International Film Festival, among several other festivals around the world, the film can be seen for free, online and throughout Chile, within the framework of the twenty-fourth edition of FIDOCS, to be held between November 25 and December 1.

    Elizabeth Pulman: New Zealand Photographer
    Maxwell, E (University of Aberdeen and the University of Callifornia, Riverside, 2022)
    My paper examines the works of Elizabeth Pulman, New Zealand’s first known woman photographer. A nineteenth-century studio photographer, she is particularly renowned for her photographs of Māori. Born in 1836 in the small town of Lym, County Cheshire in the UK, Elizabeth emigrated to New Zealand with her husband George in 1861. In 1868 George Pulman opened a photographic studio in the rapidly growing settlement of Auckland. It was just after the fiercely fought Land Wars. and cartes de viste albumen photographs of the most famous Māori warriors were in strong demand among the public. Working alongside George, Elizabeth learnt the craft of photography while also raising nine children. Then when George died suddenly in 1871, she assumed management of the studio and kept it running until her death in 1901. Much of Pulman’s success can be attributed to her continuing to specialise in photographs of Māori. When George opened his studio it was not unusual for photographers to pay Māori to sit for their cameras, however when Elizabeth was managing the studio, many Māori were actively seeking out photographers for their ‘likenesses’ and Elizabeth’s was among the more popular studios answering to this demand. Where George’s photographs showed Māori much as they appeared before the arrival of Europeans – ie highly tattooed and draped in traditional feather cloaks, Elizabeth’s photographs showed them wearing a mix of Māori and western style clothing as a sign of their adaption to the Pakeha (European) world. At a time when most photographers were treating Māori as stereotypes, Elizabeth further distinguished herself by photographing Māori in a manner that captured their dignity and their individual personalities. Pulman’s photographs have special significance for present day Māori because of what they reveal of their ancestors, traditional Māori culture and the Māori way of life at an earlier moment in time.

    Below the Line: Will different cultural groups favour one side of politics this federal election?- PodCast
    Wang, WY ; Faine, J ; Carso, A ; Gauja, A ; Jackman, S ( 2022-04-29)
    Is there any such thing as the so-called “ethnic vote” in a country as multicultural as Australia? Do different cultural groups favour one side of politics over another? For instance, in Victoria’s most marginal seat of Chisholm, will the Hong Kong-born Liberal MP Gladys Liu be advantaged by the Chinese diaspora living in her electorate?

    Inside the story: writing the powerful female world of Wentworth
    O'Meara, R ; Batty, C ; Taylor, S ; Dwyer, T ( 2019)
    Why do we tell stories, and how are they crafted? In this series, we unpick the work of the writer on both page and screen. One of the major considerations when creating an ongoing television series is its “story world”, made up by its place, people, themes, style and tone. Central to this world is the setting, known in television writing as the “hub” or “precinct”, which serves the need for constant generation of characters and storylines.
