<P class=MsoNormal> Papers are invited for a volume on the performance of
identity within and through Australian protests, marches, parades and
processions.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Crowds of people on the street can be alien, familiar, fun,
people like us or those others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Throughout the twentieth century the streets filled with constant tides
of different faces of Australia that claimed space in the urban landscape and
the social memory. Some that continue to claim a space, some that seem lost in
the past, some that are included within social narratives, some that are
excluded. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This book focuses on groups of Australians proclaiming their
identity collectively on the streets over the last hundred years from a range of
disciplinary and theoretical approaches. The essays will explore the
performative aspects of the protests, marches, and processions as
events that claimed Australian urban landscapes. These performances will be
examined in terms of the ways that the participants’ intentions, actions and
responses intersect and diverge with the attributed social significance and the
incorporation of the event into social narratives. Events will include (but are
not limited to): ANZAC Day Parades, Mardi Gras, Political Protests such as the
Moratoriums, the Tent Embassy, Survival 88 Marches, Reconciliation Marches, S11,
Religious Processions, Cultural Events, and Community Celebrations such as
Moomba. Essays will be linked thematically according to the events’ perceived
political, social, or religious significance.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In keeping with the interdisciplinary tenor of this book,
articles should be addressed to a non-specialist audience. Essays should be
6,000 words.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>Interested contributors should send a Title and Abstract
of 500 words to Maryrose Casey or Delyse Ryan by November 30<SUP>th</SUP>
