Various forms of sexuality have, over the last few decades, been a key issue in Christian theological discussion. Homosexuality has been the focus of some of the most heated of these debates. It is a central issue, as one may perceive obvious injunctions against homosexual behaviour in both the Old and New Testaments, starting with Genesis 19:1-29 and carrying through to Corinthians 6:9-11 and beyond. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/17897 The emergence of Secular Insight Practice in Australia Bubna-Litic David; Higgins John Christina Rocha and Michelle Baker In Australia over the last three decades, secular insight (vipassana) meditation practice has increasingly drawn away from its Theravadin origins, thus exemplifying a wider trend in western Buddhist circles over the second half of the last century, to loosen ties with their Asian traditions of origin. In 1998 Batchelor articulated the divergence by drawing a contrast between 'religious Buddhism' and 'dharma practice' in his Buddhism without Beliefs (Batchelor 1998a), a contrast with resonances in the changes now unfolding in Australia. He elaborated his key concepts, not least the 'deep agnosticism' he discerned in the Buddha's own teaching, in other writings published in the same year (Batchelor 1998b; 1998c). The contrast acknowledges a strong tendency towards secularization in the re-rendering of Buddhism in culturally appropriate terms for westerners who, from the 1970s, began to practise meditation seriously in this tradition in significant numbers. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/17401 Arbeitsbeziehunger in China: Zwischen Organisiertem und Neoliberlism Kapitalismus (Industrial Relations in China: Between Organised and Neo-liberal Capitalism) Chan Anita Das industrielle System Chinas war im letzten Vierteljafuhundert tiefgreifenden Verânderungen ausgesetzt.

Jepp The paper first discusses early work that predated Internet Art and that was concerned with active audience participation in electronic art and describes the path of development of the first author's artworks that have looked at human to human communication through electronic (computer) systems from 1970 until today. The fundamental concept has been to make artworks that explore human communication through conversations using restricted languages. The initial inspiration was a set of studies of early infant language development. The paper goes on to describe the latest developments in this series of artworks: Cities Tango. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
