Thesis Eleven Centre Annual Report 2010

Introduction

The Thesis Eleven Centre for Cultural Sociology was formally established in 2001 and commenced activities in 2002. It is closely aligned with the international critical theory and historical sociology journal of the same title, published by Sage, London. The journal is now in its 30th year of operation. Initially known as the Thesis Eleven Centre for Critical Theory, the centre changed its name as of 17 December 2007. The broad horizon of cultural sociology is a more accurate indicator of what the Centre actually does in its operations. Critical theory is a major source and tradition for us, but cultural sociology is a more expansive description of what we do and where we are heading.

We are pleased to present the 8th Annual Report.

Objectives

The Centre has nine main aims, as set out in its constitution: 1. To encourage the development and application of social and political theory throughout the world through publishing and presenting material in printed and electronic form and through delivering educational workshops, forums and conferences;

2. To facilitate international exchanges of internationally recognized scholars in the field of social and political theory;

3. To attract overseas students to enroll in the Faculty’s postgraduate programs in the field of social and political theory;

4. To encourage local postgraduate research culture and scholarly research in the field of social and political theory;

5. To promote Thesis Eleven as an international journal of social and political theory;

6. To significantly expand the opportunities for research in the field of social and political theory;

7. To promote the teaching and research activities of members of staff of the university in the field of social and political theory;

8. To promote the training of postgraduates in research in the field of social and political theory;

9. To do all such things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above aims.

Membership

How the Centre works The Centre focuses on organizing four kinds of events: 1. Annual and public lectures by leading and renowned intellectuals and scholars, both here and overseas;

2. Full day seminars on the work and thought of such intellectuals with them present and working in conversation with a range of local interlocutors and discussants of their work;

3. Half day seminars on particular themes with invited speakers;

4. Symposia and colloquia in other cities either connected to the work of the journal or to international social theory and social science conferences.

The Centre has four fields of operation local Bundoora and City campuses;

regional especially Mildura Campus;

national (Curtin, Murdoch and University of Western Australia in Perth; Flinders University in Adelaide); and

international (spanning three continents: Europe, Asia and North America but also New Zealand).

In all cases we are pro-active, working through our own international and national professional and intellectual networks, minimizing overheads and resources and maximizing local-global connections and networks, and ensuring intensive face-to-face encounters. The co-ordinating editors of the journal, Thesis Eleven: Professor Peter Beilharz and Dr Trevor Hogan are the founding Director and Deputy Director of this Centre, respectively. As such, they are also Chair and Deputy Chair of the Board of Management.

Ordinary Members of the Centre who are also on the Board of Management, appointed by the Dean of the Faculty, include the Dean himself, Professor Tim Murray, as well as Professor John Carroll, Dr Stefan Auer, Dr Anthony Moran.

Student Members are Divya Anand, Darrell Bennetts, Christine Ellem, Edwin Wise and Julian Potter.

Associate Members are Professor Simon Marginson (University of Melbourne), Professor Peter Murphy (Monash University), Professor David Roberts (Monash), Dr. Eduardo de la Fuente (Monash), Dr. Sian Supski (Curtin), Professor Anthony Elliott (Flinders), Professor Terri-Ann White (UWA), Dr. Karl Smith, and Dr Suzi Adams (Flinders).

Honorary Members are Professor Stuart McIntyre (Melbourne), Professor Jeffrey Alexander (New Haven), Professor Joanna Bourke (London), Professor Craig Calhoun

Administration

The Centre is a small operation with big ambitions. It runs on the entrepreneurial imaginations of its Directors and their colleagues in the journal. It depends on the support of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and the goodwill of academic and general staff in the Sociology and Anthropology program in the School of Social Sciences. In particular we record our thanks to the initiative, drive and support of Finn Leach (who administers the Centre’s account) and both the School’s team of administrative staff Bronwyn Bardsley, Amanda Dunn and Lisa Hunter; as well as the Faculty’s administrative staff Deb Hewitt, Jane Schleiger, Victor Maslaris, Kennedy D’Sousa and Stella Pecova.

The Centre depends on the goodwill and work of both the Faculty of Humanities and the School of Social Sciences. It also piggybacks on the resources of the journal and in particular of the work of the three Production Assistants during this period, Suzi Adams (January–August 2002) and Karl Smith (September 2002–July 2007), and Christine Ellem (July 2007–). The Directors of the Centre report regularly to the Editors’ meetings of the journal and we are particularly grateful to our colleagues on the editorial team who are always imaginative, good humoured, generous-spirited and hard working.

This year, for the first time in its history, the Centre was allocated a separate budget that has allowed it to generate some ambitious plans for 2011, thanks to the generous support of Tim Brown, Deputy Vice Chancellor-Research, and Tm Murray, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities. We look forward to making the most of this support and strengthening our local, regional and international networks in the future.

We also wish to take this opportunity to express and record our appreciation and thanks for the enthusiasm and support of Professor Paul Johnson, the Vice Chancellor and Professor Judith Brett, Head of the School of Social Sciences, respectively. We thank both the Faculty and the School for their consistent administrative, financial, and intellectual support and interest.

30 years and 100 issues of Thesis Eleven: Critical Theory and Historical Sociology (Sage: London, Delhi, Thousand Oaks, Ca.)

The highlight of the year was the publication of the hundredth issue of Thesis Eleven journal which also marked thirty years since the first issue. Issue 100 (February, 2010) began with a reprint of the journal’s first editorial from 1980, and a response or countereditorial from Peter Beilharz. It also consisted of a series of short ‘postcards’ from thinkers who have had an important role in the history with the journal, including Agnes Heller, Maria and György Markus, Martin Jay, Chris Rojek, David Freeman, John Carroll, Ghassan Hage, Maria Pia Lara, Gerard Delanty, Peter Wagner and Andrew Milner. Other highlights included a thirty year survey of the history of the journal by George Steinmetz; the 2009 annual lecture from Alastair Davidson on the history of human rights and the left, as well as Patrick Wolfe’s response, a discussion from Nikos Paperstergiadis on the idea of ‘the South’ and a post-mortem on Communism from Zygmunt Bauman. We were also very privileged to include an unpublished paper from Jeffrey Alexander on ‘Marxism and the Spirit of Socialism’ which was written around the same time that Thesis Eleven began, and demonstrates some interesting parallels with the journal’s concerns. In addition to this, Alexander also contributed a reflection of the ‘Marxism Project’ to accompany and contextualise this paper. The 100th issue also included the 2008 annual report on activities of the Thesis Eleven Centre, a republication of the edifying reflections of the infamous ‘Klaus Truggle’ on the D. H. Myer’s history of ‘Marx down Under’. The issue finished on a touching note of thanks from Luis David.

To celebrate this achievement we held a launch party and seminar at Chisholm College, La Trobe University, with speakers including George Steinmetz, Robert Manne, John Carroll, Patrick Wolfe, Miriam Bankovsky,  Philipa Rothfield, Andrea Vestrucci, Christine Ellem and the editors, Simon Marginson, Peter Murphy, Beilharz and Hogan. The party featured a performance by jazz ensemble, the Andy Sugg Group.

We followed up with another commemorative seminar at TASA with presentations by Beilharz, Hogan, Ellem, Pauline Johnstone (Macquarie), Eduardo de La Fuente (Monash), and Craig Browne (Sydney).

‘Thesis Eleven: Beyond the Antipodes – Thirty Years, One Hundred Issues’, Annual Conference of The Australian Sociology Association, Macquarie University, Sydney, 6-9 December.

Another major milestone of the life of the Centre was a shift from administrative base in School of Social Sciences to the level of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. For the first time in its 9 years of existence the Centre now has a clear administrative structure and financial support from the university for the next 3 years of its activities. The DVC Research, Professor Tim Brown requested that the Centre organise a major event in 2011 to register this change. The second half of 2010 was therefore an intensive period of event and budget planning and fund raising by the Directors and we employed Christine Ellem as Project Officer to these ends.

We are proposing to run a Festival of Ideas on Popular Visual and Print cultures, India, Philippines and Australia set for mid-2011 at La Trobe. We have already been successful in raising funds from external sources for this initiative. We have set up a special working group for Festival planning including Professor Norie Neumark (Centre for Creative Arts), Dr Ira Raja (Visiting Fellow, Thesis Eleven Centre), and Dr Vincent Alessi (Director, La Trobe Art Museum).

More on this in our annual report next year.

Activities of the Directors:

Peter Beilharz

I began the year joining Ghassan Hage and his team working on the collaborative writing project After Newton. In February I joined with Tim Soutphommasane to discuss The Future of Social Democracy for the Fabian Society. In March I delivered a lecture on Zygmunt Bauman and shared in the Flinders - La Trobe Society seminar in Adelaide. In Adelaide I also visited blues musician Chris Finnen at the Semaphore Workers Club. In April the John Hipwell/Tom Burstall documentary Back to My Roots, in which I appear, was shown on BBC 4. I also joined in the special seminar held at UNSW to celebrate the life and work of Maria Markus. July I was invited to South Africa by the Academy of Sciences, for work with members at Grahamstown, Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Bloemfontein. Late July I joined the Centre contingent to the Mildura Writers Festival. In August I worked with George Steinmetz as annual Centre lecturer, and together with George and Ghassan Hage at Melbourne. September took me to Manchester, where I met with Kevin Morgan, Leeds, where I met with Bauman, Tester, and Davis of the Bauman Institute, and participated in the inaugural event of the Institute, celebrating the life and work of Janina Bauman and signing an MOU with Leeds, and meeting with Ritzer, Sassen and Liebeskind. I met with Chris Rojek in London, and Anders Michelsen in Copenhagen. In November I organised the annual Heller Lecture, with Graeme Davison. December took me to Sydney, to work on the ASSA workshop on neoliberalism, and to TASA at Macquarie, to present on Jean Martin and to celebrate the hundredth issue of Thesis Eleven.

The year commenced in visits to India and Singapore. At Goa I attended the biennial ‘Australia and India: Convergences and Divergences’, International Conference of the Indian Association for the Study of Australia (IASA) 18-21 January 2010 Goa University, India. At this conference I gave two papers: ‘Australian Suburbia: the world’s most liveable cities but are they sustainable?’ and ‘The Vinyl Age: Rock Music in Australia 1945-1995’ – a report on a research project. After short visits to Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore I returned to Singapore where I was Visiting Affiliate at the Asia Research Institute (Asian Urbanisms Cluster), National University of Singapore, February 1-11. With the Asian Urbanisms Cluster Director, Dr Tim Bunnell, I co-convened a one day research workshop on the theme of ‘Gated Communities and Private Urbanism in Southeast Asia’ , 5 February. I gave the lead paper on ‘Discordant Order: Manila’s Neo-Patrimonial Urbanism’. At the end of the year I joined Beilharz and Sheila Shaver to give a paper at our joint session on Professor Jean Martin at the annual conference of The Australian Sociology Association, Macquarie University, Sydney, 6-9 December. My paper was ‘Two Pioneers and a Biographer: Mayo, Martin, and Trahair and the Strange Case of the Missing Tradition of Industrial Sociology in Australia’. In addition to a full time teaching load and directing Philippines-Australia Studies Centre, I have worked closely with Beilharz, Ellem and Dr Ira Raja in the preparing of the new 3 year plan and budget of the Centre and of the special Festival set for June, 2011.
