Little thought has been given, however, to the extent to which a researcher’s participation in a social milieu can be properly assessed. I examine this issue in the light of two periods of participatory research in contrasting social environments, that of academic archaeology in the UK and a rapidly modernising, urban community in Nepal. I argue that participation is not simply a matter of ‘acting like’ or ‘doing things like’ people of another society. Instead, a researcher’s participation is a concomitant of his or her own changing socio-political position, and must be compared with the diversity of subject positions within the host society if the character of this participation is to be properly understood.Item Metadata only Local Media and Development Culture in Nepal: A Case Study of Ratna Cable Television and Communication for Development Palpa in Tansen(2001) Wilmore, Michael Joseph; School of Social Sciences : MediaItem Metadata only Australian e-democracy?: Its potential for citizens and governments(Monash University Gippsland, 2002) Griffiths, O.; Innovative E-Government for Victoria Conference (2002 : Melbourne, Victoria)Item Metadata only Video-streaming technology and e-learning: Possibilities in continuing education in Hong Kong(2002) Cheung, M.; Asia-Pacific Conference on Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (2nd : 2002 : Hong Kong)Item Metadata only Writing + Memory = Memory Writing(Salt Publishing, 2002) Prosser, R.; Terri ann White,Item Metadata only Strategic Subjects: The Sexual Binary, Transgression and the Ethics of Strategic Essentialism(Monash University, School of Literary, Visual and Performance Studies, 2002) Cover, R.Item Metadata only Forming Audiences for e-Democracy: Government Policies, Portals, and Pilots and Citizen Literacies(Academic Conferences Limited, 2002) Griffiths, O.; European conference of e-Government (2nd : 2002 : Oxford, United Kingdom)Item Metadata only The politics of new media research: Methodologies, debates and practices(R M I T, School of Applied Communication, 2002) Griffiths, O.; Yell, S.Item Metadata only Increasing resolutions on new media research(R M I T, School of Applied Communication, 2002) Griffiths, O.; Yell, S.Item Metadata only Comment on 'Queers, anti-capitalism and war'(Australian Centre for Lesbian and Gay Research, 2002) Cover, R.Item Metadata only Re-sourcing queer subjectivities: Sexual identity and lesbian/gay print media(Univ Queensland Press, 2002) Cover, R.With most critical discussions of lesbian/gay identities and media focusing on mass-circulation representation, visibility and stereotyping, the lesbian/gay community small press has remained neglected, particularly as it plays a role in the constitution of the performative lesbian/gay subject. This paper brings queer theory and communication theories closer together by focusing on both the reading positions inculcating subjective performativity and the mediation of contemporary discourses of sexuality. By examining the role of the gay press as an affirmative 'first encounter' site with oft-censored discourses of non-heterosexuality, it is concluded that there are issues of responsibility in the discursive foreclosure on sexual alternatives beyond the hetero/homo binary in contemporary media formations.Item Metadata only Cultured borders, bordering cultures: lesbian/gay culture, the Australian multiculturalism paradigm and 'the nations'(Australian Centre for Lesbian and Gay Research, 2002) Cover, R.Item Metadata only Some Cunts: Graffiti, Globalisation, Injurious Speech and 'Owning' Signification(Routledge, 2002) Cover, R.This article examines the way in which processes of signification in contemporary culture are governed by motifs of ownership--who has the 'right' to make the 'right' kind of signification, whose significatory powers can be considered to be dominant, and what sorts of ethical considerations can be applied to the granting of meaning and implication. By examining contemporary political graffiti, issues of globalisation and debates over the figurative term 'cunt', the article discusses the inefficacy of claims to significatory 'ownership' while making a case for contingent practices of 'fixing' signification for local political praxis.
