Processing applications for a determination of native title can take many years and involves numerous stakeholders, presentation of evidence of ongoing connection with the land and sea within a claim area, negotiations with other parties including from industry and government, as well as negotiations between Indigenous groups. The process can be long, arduous, and often outcomes fail to satisfy the expectations of native title claimants. In this paper we investigate how individuals who either disagree with the premise underlying native title, or who have suffered negative impacts through the course of native title claims, may be either targeted by, or swept up in, Australian sovereign citizen rhetoric. We aim to contextualise presentations of sovereign citizen ideas in native title claim processes by providing an overview of the history of sovereign citizen thought, and examples of its contemporary expression in some Australian online forums. In doing this we aim to provide a broad foundation for future research into the issue. The dialogue in sovereign citizen online communities exposes people to extremism and superconspiracies. This article will provide a theoretical framework and historical context to the Australian sovereign citizen phenomena and describe online amplification of disinformation in Australia that has the potential to cause harm. We illustrate how stakeholders who are drawn to relatively moderate online content (such as opposing native title) may be radicalised through gradual exposure to extremist anti-government sentiment and hate speech. This article highlights the need for further research into sovereign citizenry in Australia, and strategies for native title practitioners to engage claimants who subscribe to and disseminate sovereign citizen disinformation in native title processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"34 2","pages":"110-129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.12480","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48416070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Originally developed to accommodate the oil industry, Sorong is an attraction for Indonesian settlers who have dominated and continue to dominate the town's geographical and economic spaces. By combining multispecies ethnographic studies with issues of power relations in urban areas related to settler colonialism and racial discrimination, this paper aims to reveal marginalised human species that are interconnected with their ecosystems. In addition to exploring the interdependence between humans and other species, and their common fate, a multispecies ethnographic approach also delves into the impact of urban development on marginalised human communities and their relationship with affected species. This enables a comprehensive understanding of how the well-being of these communities is inextricably linked to the health and survival of the entire ecosystem. Focusing on the Kokoda migrant community in Sorong, Indonesia, this article is based on research that has been conducted intermittently since 2019. A community that is accustomed to living within a mangrove ecosystem, Kokoda have the endurance to live in a degraded environment. By co-existing with the mangrove forest, they have created a commons in the swamp as their livelihood space. Paradoxically, the Kokoda also pragmatically participate in mangrove-planting programs instigated by both the government and private parties. However, despite the fact that urban housing development is the cause of massive mangrove deforestation, the Kokoda community is most responsible for mangrove deforestation.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"34 2","pages":"59-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49141324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on surveys and interview data, this article highlights the significance of kinship and other forms of relationality in tattooing, bringing attention to how these are manifested through the skin as expressions of social proximity, permanence, and porosity. In doing so an analytic approach to s/kinship is developed to foreground the practice of tattooing as an expression of relational personhood, one that highlights the permeability of personhood as a salient ontological feature in the social life of tattoos and the tattooed.</p>","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"34 2","pages":"94-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.12478","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41810371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a qualitative, multi-layered analysis of primary and secondary data from Australian settlement service providers (SSPs) and the businesses they work with, this study explores how public service organisations co-create value with stakeholders (i.e., public service logic) through cross-sector collaborations. By identifying differing notional and strategic logics of both SSPs and employing businesses in supporting refugee migrants, we reveal the dynamics of cross-sector value co-creation in refugee management settings. We also identify four main strategic logics that SSPs use to address barriers and connect refugee migrants to employment.

{"title":"Roger Sandall's films and contemporary anthropology: Explorations in the aesthetic, the existential, and the possible. By Lorraine Mortimer, Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2019, 347 pp. ISBN: 9780253043948","authors":"Holly High","doi":"10.1111/taja.12472","DOIUrl":"10.1111/taja.12472","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;The website rogersandall.com&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; helpfully informs us that the original title of Mortimer's book, when it was at manuscript stage, was &lt;i&gt;Letting Things Live: Roger Sandall's Films Meet Contemporary Anthropology&lt;/i&gt;. This is a much more apt title for this book, and it is regrettable if it was IUP that requested the change. The original title is a useful clarification for anyone wanting to read and engage with this book: the main argument of this book is in support of a style of film, an anthropology, and an orientation towards the world which “lets things live.” It is a plea to make room for moments free from editorialising, abstraction, or judgement, moments that allow some sense of the rich fulsomeness of life as lived. This move towards “letting things live” is an increasingly articulated feature of contemporary anthropology, as seen for example in the thinking of Stengers and Haraway. And it was also, Mortimer argues, pioneered by the beautiful observational films Sandall made (even if these films predated this theoretical turn). Mortimer takes Sandall's films as a core theme only by way of example of her much broader argument about how observational film, ethnography, and anthropology might best go on today, even (or especially) given the troubling situations and pained histories that so plainly frame our lives and works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Readers will have to look elsewhere for an account of Sandall's life or his written works. They will not have to look far: the website mentioned above contains an archive of his writings, which towards the end of his career appeared mostly in conservative periodicals, and often took the form of satire and withering dismissals of mainstream anthropology and left-wing politics. A lengthy Obituary was published in &lt;i&gt;Quadrant&lt;/i&gt;. Say no more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At first, it seemed strange to me that Mortimer persisted in this project even though she differed so profoundly from Sandall in politics and understanding of anthropology: why give this detractor any more oxygen? And why do women so willingly and often do the work of memorialising dead men? But as I read, I realised that by steadfastly attending to what she loved in Sandall's work (his beautiful and observational films), even when there was so much that might raise one's ire elsewhere in his work, Mortimer was again demonstrating her vision for an anthropology that “lets things live”. She could have told a “killer story” about Sandall, finding clever ways to debunk and dismiss this so-called “father” of Australian ethnographic film, in the same way Sandall himself told “killer stories” about his own discipline later in his life. But Mortimer takes her readers along a different path. She leads us there not by devoting long passages to agonising over her textual choices, but by showing us her vision of anthropology by going ahead and doing it. She lets Sandall's films live in her prose. Sandall's films, Mortimer insists, were “so good at capturing the tacit and expr","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"34 2","pages":"130-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.12472","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46545640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
