style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:navy'>This paper explores the
enabling potential of habit. Within education, for example, habit seems a much
maligned concept. Erased from syllabus documents in the 1970s, it has been
replaced by a psychological focus on values and attitudes. It is generally
equated with rote learning and memorization, pedagogic techniques that may aid
the recall of facts but are seen to have little value in the development of
critical thought and creative expression. To Deleuze, however, habit involves
much more than simple iteration. The acquisition of habits results in <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>contraction </span></i>or the efficient processing of
different functions which in turn allow difference through repetition; a space
with both critical and creative potential. Early progressivists, such as Dewey,
had a similar perspective. As Dewey (2002, p. 70) explains &#8216;mechanisation
is not all there is to habit&#8217;; rather, &#8216;a flexible sensitive habit
grows more varied more adaptable by practice and use&#8217; (Dewey, 2002, p.72).
This is a view widely accepted within such fields as music and sport but within
education, and learning to write in particular, it is given little credence.
This paper&nbsp;expounds a notion of&nbsp;bodily literacy; the ways in which a
literate body must habituate a range of skills which affords the mental space
for the efficient production of text and its creative manipulation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:navy'>This presentation is
based on a broader research project that attempts to expand citizen studies
literature by looking at citizenship as complex and ever changing. The focus
here will be on a cross-cultural comparison between <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>
and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Colombia</st1:country-region></st1:place>,
looking at two &#8216;spontaneous&#8217; protests that have been heralded as
examples of &#8216;active citizenship.&#8217; Drawing on recent research that
places citizenship on an empowerment/engagement typology, this discussion
raises questions regarding the nature of citizen engagement and argues that
such manifestations can actually disempower citizens. We will also present some
initial findings on 'citizenship categories', as well argue that these require
different strategies to encourage political re-engagement and re-empowerment -
and offer some thoughts on how experiences of disempowerment can be overcome.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
