SUMMARY:Spiritual histories on stolen land: The 2024 Greg Dening Memorial Lecture presented by Dr Laura Rademaker
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual histories on stolen land: a religious history of sovereignty and land rights \nGreg Dening was a deeply spiritual scholar. Though he walked away from the priesthood in 1970\, he had been formed by his years in the Jesuit order\, his practice of Saint Ignatius Loyola’s ‘Spiritual Exercises’ – the daily discipline of ‘spiritual readings’ – permeated his writing and teaching. Dening was a master of his craft. Yet towards the end of his career\, he wrote of the ‘most enlightening experience [he] had in historiography.’ That is\, of standing on a 100\,000-year-old beach at Lake Mungo\, learning from Muthi Muthi and Barkindji elders. ‘To listen you have to be silent.’ Dening was changed. \nIn this lecture\, I seek to understand First Nations struggles for sovereignty and land rights through the lens of religious history. I show how disputes over First Nations land rights could be understood by the 1980s as a religious contest around the meaning of ‘true religion’. Aboriginal spirituality has long been denigrated by settler Australia as ‘pagan superstition’ or ‘primitive religion’ rather than ‘true religion’. In a surprising turn of events\, however\, First Nations people turned even Christian churches into strategic allies on the question of land\, religion and sacred sites. I suggest that settler recognition of First Nations’ spirituality as grounds for sovereignty has been a form\, however limited\, of religious ‘conversion’. I close with some suggestions of what it might mean to tell spiritual histories on stolen land. \nDr Laura Rademaker is an award-winning historian of Indigenous Australia\, missions\, religion\, gender and Christianity at the Australian National University. Her research explores histories of cross-cultural exchange and cross-cultural and community-based approaches to history. She is author of Found in Translation: Many Meanings on a North Australian Mission (2018) and co-author with Mavis Kerinaiua of Tiwi Story: Turning History Downside Up (2023). She is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards\, including the Australian Historical Association’s Hancock Prize for most outstanding first book and the Academy of Social Sciences of Australia’s Paul Bourke Award for an outstanding Early Career Researcher.

SUMMARY:Miles Lewis Oration 2024 - Khoo Salma Nasution (Penang\, Malaysia)
DESCRIPTION:Consuming The Porous City : George Town\, Penang\nKhoo Salma Nasution \nThe term ‘porous city’\, introduced by Walter Benjamin and his collaborator Asja Lacis (credited more to the latter) in their 1925 essay on Naples\, serves as an analytical lens in contemporary writings on architecture and urbanism. This essay applies the concept of porosity to urban history and heritage conservation\, from building materials to city boundaries\, to the legibility of historical layering. \nInitially\, rent control delayed the redevelopment of the old city\, and UNESCO listing later placed George Town on a unique developmental path. A port city in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes\, George Town has long been fertile ground for civilizational exchange and expressions of intangible heritage\, particularly related to religious diversity. UNESCO’s 2008 listing of the Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca cited these outstanding universal values\, as well as the largest collection of shophouses and townhouses in the region. \nBuilt on a swampy promontory\, George Town developed a townscape of artisanally-intensive and environmentally-responsive vernacular forms\, later guided by building codes for ventilation and sanitation. Two features of the shophouse represent innovations of tropical urbanism: the skywell\, which moderates the interior microclimate\, and the mandatory five-footway\, which functions as pedestrian shelter and social space. \nUrban projects in the old city contend with layers of history\, occasionally sparking contestation among indigenous\, migrant\, colonial\, and contemporary narratives. The challenges of preservation are illustrated by various projects: dewatering around an underground car park and the discovery of a canal system\, the remaking of a pocket park\, the proposed redevelopment of a municipal market\, the redesign of the clan jetty waterfront\, and the re-introduction of moats in Fort Cornwallis. \nWhile heavy-handed approaches risk turning historic sites into ersatz heritage\, new residents and street artists are embracing the ‘aesthetics of decay.’ Aging long-time residents are increasingly outnumbered by tourists and guest workers\, leaving many shophouses vacant or underutilized. In this fragmented landscape\, creative entrepreneurs engage in micro placemaking\, attracting weekend visitors to savour Penang’s street food\, street life\, and a sense of the past. \nDuring annual festivals and processions\, crowds suddenly reappear\, reclusive residents perch themselves by windows or on five-footways\, and streets are reclaimed by pedestrians\, reaffirming the ‘porous city’ as a stage for enacting rites of belonging. These traditional celebrations allow us to imagine the strategies needed to mend the fractured connections between the inner and outer city – disrupted by late 20th-century zoning and eroded public transport policies – through a comprehensive\, whole-city approach to urban resilience. \nKhoo Salma Nasution is a writer\, publisher\, social historian\, and an advocate of heritage and environmental protection. A leading author of Malaysian place-histories incorporating social history and environmental history. Co-founder of heritage and sustainability initiatives which advance knowledge at the intersection of culture\, community and environment. \nZoom link is available via registration on Eventbrite. \nOrganised by the Australian Centre for Architectural History\, Urban and Cultural Heritage
