The figure: beach, verandah, backyardTuffy, Mark Richard, Art, College of Fine Arts, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
This research undertakes to examine factors that contribute to make Australian national and cultural identity: shared history, narratives symbols, icons, places and memories that are united by a single political and geographical boundary. In particular, it considers the role of place on Australian national and cultural identity. This is a timely exercise since 'Australianess' is increasingly cited as a factor in federal government policy development. In order to address such a broad and complex area, the agenda has been limited to three specific locations: the beach, the verandah and the backyard. These sites have been selected first because of their prominent iconic status within the notion of 'Australianess' and, second, because of the underlying functional parallels that unite them. The present thesis contends that, unlike the function-specific sites where identity is neutralised by globalised standards of appearance, behaviour and harsh fluorescent light, the beach, the verandah and the backyard are ambiguous zones of in between that provide escape, shelter as well as spiritual sanctuary. The figures engage with the nominated locations in accordance with the significance, the meanings that they ascribe to that particular site. These meanings, however, vary greatly from person to person and from demographic to demographic, hence, the grasp of a universally binding sense of identity becomes a slippery proposition. National and cultural seity - the way we are and the way we perceive ourselves as a unified collective - is conditional to a number of factors, the most enduring and pervasive of these is the sense of place, the landscape, the way we affect it and, reciprocally, the way it affects us. National and cultural identity is never static, but remains in a state of perpetual evolution. It must be continually re-assessed in order to remain abreast of the cultural palimpsest as successive waves and generations of people from a variety of backgrounds, situations, ideas and forms of expression inscribe notions of self into their immediate environment.

Environmental Effects and Public Opinion Issues Associated with Incorporating Recycled Glass Cullet into Beach Ecosystems through Nourishment ProjectsBabineaux, Claire Elizabeth 10 August 2018 (has links)
Nourishing beaches and coastlines is a common practice in mitigating the effects of coastal erosion. Cullet, a geologically compatible aggregate, has been suggested for use in beach nourishment practices instead of dredged sands. The goal of this research is to assess the suitability of using of cullet to replace dredged sand as a nourishment aggregate and to educate the public about the potential uses for cullet as it relates to coastal erosion. The compatibility of cullet to natural quartz sand relies heavily on the comparison of physical characteristics of the grains and ecological compatibility, which compares the microorganisms that naturally exist on a sand grain to the microorganisms that occur on cullet in the same environment. Results show under the same environmental parameters, similar assemblages and amounts of microorganisms grow on both natural quartz and cullet substrates. Initial resistance to the concept of purposely putting broken glass onto a beach from coastal communities and their visitors is anticipated. An opinion survey to measure potential acceptance of the practice and to test the value of a hands-on educational program was conducted using both online and in-person platforms. These surveys will guide the development of an education program regarding mitigation of coastal erosion and the potential impacts of beach replenishment with cullet. Results show there is a concern regarding cullet in beach environments, but a hands-on learning approach may aide in acceptance. A comparison of sediment transport models that analyze the movement of a nourished shoreline and associated variables was conducted. This comparison determined a need for a model specifically accounting for morphological grain characteristics, the grains break down over time, and influences on the life of a nourishment project. The variables of importance include grain size evolution throughout the lifespan of a nourishment project, grain angularity, and composition relative to the native sediments of a nourished beach. Ambiguity of grain variables need further refinement with a forthcoming model. The biota and survey results show favor of cullet as a suitable beach fill material, however models including hardness and composition might contest the results related to project lifespans and overall suitability.
