- Michel Foucault, The Birth of Biopolitics - Chapter Twelve October 23, 2009• ‘Homo economicus strips the sovereign of power inasmuch as he reveals an essential, fundamental and major incapacity of the sovereign, that is to say, an inability to master the totality of the economic field. The sovereign cannot fail to be blind vis-à-vis the economic domain or field as a whole. The whole set of economic processes cannot fail to elude a […]
- Michel Foucault, The Birth of Biopolitics - Chapter Eleven October 22, 2009• The problem of homo economicus and its applicability to domains that are not immediately and directly economic (crime, marriage, child rearing etc.) is interesting as it posits a notion of the “rational subject” that bears no relationship to the work done in the social sciences on how individuals respond to behavioural stimuli, but it also presents homo ec […]

The problem with the media cycle these days for the political obfuscator is that it’s harder to say one thing to one audience and one to another – [...]Mark
- The climate crisis, politics and our years of magical thinking December 8, 2009I’ve had a stab, in a guest post over at Overland, at looking at how the tendencies we’ve always had to succumbing to magical thinking make climate change a very difficult challenge for politics – particularly when we need to ground that politics culturally as well as rationally in a postmodern age where the narrative [...]Mark

When we started, real-time H264 coding was quite new and the early versions of encoders were not that much more efficient than the existing MPEG2 HD encoders. EBU - TECH 3328 Current […]Andy Quested

- Will Abbott's victory trigger an election? December 1, 2009When Tony Abbott waded into the surf at the weekend, resplendent in a pair of skimpy "budgie smugglers" (swimming trunks) and a red-and-gold lifesaver's cap, few would have expected him to emerge 48 hours later as the leader of the Australian opposition. As late as Monday, Mr Abbott himself was talking about withdrawing from the race for the l […]Nick Bryant (The Reporters)

- An apology, an architect and an 'audience with Parky' November 19, 2009Foreign correspondents often like to boast that they watch the world unfold from a front row seat on history, but at the national apology in Canberra on Monday it was standing room only. It was a rare privilege to be in the Great Hall of Parliament House, as Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull sought to right some appalling wrongs. It was an extraordinarily rich […]Nick Bryant (The Reporters)
- Shamed into an apology November 16, 2009The scandal of the child migrants sent to Britain's distant dominions was uncovered over two decades ago by a British social worker, Margaret Humphreys.
