How interactive new media art can effectively communicate an indigenous philosophical concept. The sophistication and complexity of the philosophical concept concerning relationships between land and people and between people, intrinsic to the laws and customs of Australian Indigenous society, has begun to be communicated and accessed beyond the realm of anthropological and ethnological domains of Western scholarship. The exciting scope and rapid development of new media arts presents an innovative means of creating an interactive relationship with the general Australian public, addressing the urgent need for an understanding of Indigenous Australian concepts of relationship to land, and to each other, absent from Western narratives. The study is framed by an Indigenous concept of place, and relationships between land and people and between people; and explores how this concept can be clearly communicated through interactive new media arts. It involves: a creative project, the development of an interactive new media art project, a website work-in-progress titled site\sight\cite; and an exegesis, a Novella of Ideas, on the origins, influences, objectives, and potential of creative practices and processes engaged in the creative project. Research undertaken for the creative project and exegesis extended my creative practice into the use of interdisciplinary arts, expressly for the expression of philosophical concepts, consolidating 23 years experience in Indigenous community arts development. The creative project and exegesis contributes to an existing body of Indigenous work in a range of areas - including education, the arts and humanities - which bridges old and new society in Australia. In this study, old and new society is defined by the time of the initial production of art and foundations of knowledge, in the country of its origins, in Indigenous Australia dating back at least 40,000 years.

Indigenous adoptee scholars across Turtle Island and beyond have done good work in coming to understand their identity through community connection, culture, education and practice. A plethora of research has guided young Indigenous interracial adoptees on their journey, yet there are few stories focused on the experiences of interracial Maya adoptees reconnecting to their culture in KKKanada. Currently there is limited research documenting Maya adoptees experiences of displacement and cultural reclamation in KKKanadian adoption studies. Research must make more space for these stories and the stories of local Indigenous communities supporting them. In this story (thesis), through engagement with current literature and ten research questions, I explored what it meant to live as an interracial adoptee in West Coast Indigenous communities. An Indigenous Youth Storywork methodology was applied to bring meaning to relationships I have with diverse Indigenous Old Ones, mentors and Knowledge Keepers and their influence on my journey as a Maya adoptee returning to my culture. My personal story was developed and analyzed using an Indigenous decolonial framework and Indigenous Arts-based methods. This storying journey sheds light on the intricate intersections of interracial adoption, specifically for Maya Indigenous Youth who currently live in KKKanada. The intention of this Youth Storywork research work is to create space for Indigenous, Interracial, Transracial and Maya adoptees in Child and Youth Care, Social Work and Counselling Psychology education, policy and practice. / Graduate / 2021-11-18

This study is based on the catalogue/checklist of Pierneef works in the Pretoria Art Museum collection. The artist’s life, social, political and artistic influences of the period, both local and international, may be deduced from works analysed and discussed. The Arts and Crafts movement was a powerful influence affecting ideas on national identity, folk art and the vernacular from the middle of the nineteenth century onwards. A world-wide romantic nationalism stimulated a search for identity and exploitation of the indigenous. It is argued that these trends may be identified in the artistic development of Pierneef who, through friends, wide reading and intensive study was alive to European developments but focused on the indigenous arts of Southern Africa. He was the first South African artist to recognize Busman art and that of the black peoples. They had a profound influence on his own development and the motifs of his art. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 1997. / Historical and Heritage Studies / unrestricted

In visual arts, indigenous culture was represented at first with surprise and value judgments, then with the scientific purpose that directed the missions coming to Brazil to catalog those who were believed to be doomed to extinction. And then we saw, from the nineteenth century, the indigenous exalted by the Indianism and later the inspiration on their art to contemporary and modernist aesthetics. All this search to understand the indigenous culture and art from an "outside" point of view, contributes to the efforts at reconciliation between western and indigenous cultures, but do not bring the need to understand the relations of indigenous art in its context. With cultural Anthropology who settled in Brazil in the twentieth century and the field work proposed by the Indian Ethnology, an area that would also give their first steps in this century, we passed to the "inside look" of indigenous culture, thanks to the knowledge the indigenous people offered to the anthropologists who set out to hear them. This research provides examples of these various moments of the relationship between indigenous and western cultures, showing an organization of bibliographic data that can guide a more fair perspective on the indigenous arts. / As artes indígenas no Brasil sempre foram objeto de interesse, desde o período colonial quando os objetos produzidos pelos índios, e em alguns casos eles próprios, eram levados para os Gabinetes de Curiosidades na Europa, vistos como exóticos. Nas artes visuais, a cultura indígena foi representada no início com estranhamento e julgamento de valores, depois com o propósito científico que direcionou as missões vindas ao Brasil para catalogar aqueles que, acreditava-se, estariam fadados à extinção. E então vimos, a partir do século XIX, o indígena exaltado pelo Indianismo e mais tarde sua arte inspirando a estética modernista e contemporânea. Toda essa busca por entender a cultura e arte indígenas com olhar de fora , contribui para uma tentativa de aproximação entre as culturas indígena e ocidental, mas não dão conta do aprofundamento necessário para se compreender as relações da arte indígena dentro do contexto indígena. Com a Antropologia cultural que se estabeleceu no Brasil a partir do século XX e os trabalhos de campo propostos pela Etnologia Indígena, área que também daria seus primeiros passos neste século, passamos ao olhar de dentro da cultura indígena, ensinamento oferecido pelos indígenas aos antropólogos que se propuseram a ouvi-los. Essa pesquisa traz exemplos desses diversos momentos das relações entre as culturas indígena e ocidental apresentando uma organização de dados bibliográficos capazes de orientar um olhar mais justo sobre as artes indígenas.

本研究著眼於原住民文化產業智慧資源規劃的議題，特別是以原住民工藝產業當中的編織工藝作為研究對象。在智慧資源的創造和保護方面，對於原住民民俗創作的法律討論和立法行動，在我國雖然已有初步成果，但卻仍有許多爭議尚待解決，因而仍無法提供原住民族人充足的保護，不過即使如此，產業仍然需要在此模糊不清的法律狀態下，尋找最佳的發展路徑，換言之，從智慧資源的管理和應用方面，在盡可能建立智慧資源的基礎之後，管理者應如何透過原先具備或後天取得的資源，促使經營的事業體找出適當的發展模式，毋寧更是原住民文化產業能否永續發展的優先考量。而在產業發展較成熟之後，若再回頭主張產業從業者真正需要的法律規範，或許更可以提供規範制定者值得參考的意見。 在上述的法律和管理並重的思考邏輯之下，本研究從文獻探討開始，檢視國際間、各國和我國在處理原住民民俗創作保護時的問題現狀，在確定文化資產和智慧財產各有其規範角色，卻又會互相影響的前提之下，推導出存在於原住民文化產業當中，同時可以致力於文化資產活化，以及智慧財產創造的幾種可能的發展模式，供作本研究後續個案的探討模型，以及未來的產業從業者決定發展方向時的可能參考選項。 故在本研究個案部份，即同時反映上述類型化模型的思考。第四章的第一個個案就是較具有公共性(commons)本質的尤瑪‧達陸與野桐工坊個案，而第五章的第二個個案就是較具有完整企業經營理念的湛賞文化藝術工作坊，此二個案同時都是以編織工藝為主要經營項目，但是因為經營者的目標不同，因而展現出不同樣貌，本研究透過此二個案呈現經營面向的議題，同時也針對智慧資源規劃議題，給予個案未來發展之建議。 最後的結論與建議，本研究主要針對於政府機關和產業從業者兩方面，從之前論述當中發現的議題和可參考的適例，重新思考現存問題的解決方案，期待在研究者的共同努力下，台灣原住民文化產業能夠走上更亮麗的舞台。 / This research is focused on intelligence resources planning of indigenous cultural industry, especially in the field of knitting techniques. From creation and protection of intelligence resources perspective, legal discussion and legislative movement for aboriginal people’s cultural expressions seem to achieve slight success in Taiwan, but there still exists many unresolved issues, resulting in insufficient protection for aboriginal people as before. However, even in such legally ambiguous situation, the industry still needs to find its way out, looking for the best path to develop itself. In other words, from management and application of intelligence resources perspective, after trying best efforts to set up the foundation of intelligence resources, how the managers are devoting to figure out the suitable model for the business unit, by using original or adopting resources, becomes the first priority of concerns of whether the indigenous cultural industry can be sustainable. When the industry becomes more mature, the participants of the industry may look back, to propose their real needs for regulations, and at the same time, these proposals may be very valuable for the regulators. Based on the above thinking in accordance with both legal and managerial logic, this research makes observation to problems when dealing with aboriginal people’s folklore expressions in international society, in various countries and in Taiwan, from the beginning part of literature analysis to the latter parts; then, this research makes sure that cultural heritage and intellectual property both play parts on the focused topics, while each has its regulatory role as well as has impact on the other, and such nature and connection becomes the premise of the following several models respectively for activation of cultural heritage and creation of intellectual property at the same time in indigenous cultural industry. These models will be used as the analytic tools for the following case study and as the referable choices of business development for future participants in the industry. Furthermore, case study of this research reflects foregoing categorical models. The first case in Chapter 4 is commons-oriented Yuma Taru and Lihang Studio case. The second case in Chapter 5 is under complete company management, which is Siku Sawmah Cultural Art Workshop case. Both cases’ major revenue come from knitting techniques, but the managers have different business goals, resulting in different business models. This research tries to reveal managerial issues when running workshop through these two cases; this research will also gives suggestion to them in relation to intelligence resources planning. In the final part of conclusion and suggestion, this research aims at governmental departments and participants in the industry, and for them it rethinks solutions towards existing problems regarding previously found issues and referable cases. This research expects the indigenous cultural industry in Taiwan to eventually get on a more radiant stage with the cooperation of all the researchers and participants.
