This article and the research practice, ‘Mother as Curator’, speak directly to the mother developing art with her family, and addresses the ethical implications which arise this kind of performance making. The author discusses two pieces of work she has developed with her children, Oliver’s World (2014) and Isabel’s Shoes (2017). These performance works and encounters highlight and encourage performance making from different angles, acknowledging the ways in which art making as part of family life shifts perspectives on, and understandings of, what we mean be art practice and the ways it might be experienced.

This paper examines a selection of 21st-century international examples of exhibited visual artworks involving live or deceased animals. It seeks to reveal the risks and benefits of unique encounters with animals through art and to consider the ethical implications of artwork deploying animals. Australian and international animal protection laws are not explicit when it comes to the sourcing of animals for art nor for the direct inclusion of animals in artworks. This lack leads to a variety of artistic practices, some considered ethical while others are viewed as controversial, bordering on animal cruelty. Artwork selection is determined by a focus on high-profile artists who intentionally use animals in their practice and whose reputation has been fostered by this intention. The study provides insight into how the intentional use of ethically sourced animals within art practice can be a method of addressing hierarchal human–animal imbalances. Further, this study identifies unethical practices that may be best avoided regardless of the pro-animal political statements the artists put forward. Recommendations of how to better determine what is an acceptable use of animals in art with a view to informing legal guidelines and artistic best practice are presented.

This article explores gaps in communication and mistranslations between languages and cultural identities. My article centres on my artistic research practice, alongside Chinese contemporary artists, Xu Bing and Ai Weiwei, who brought their own culture to bear on the experience of living and making work in the West. When facing the clash of cultural and linguistic environments, the work featured seeks to find a balance between inclusive and exclusive language systems. What seems to be ‘lost’ in translation can be used creatively in art practice, through hybridized forms and often through humour, to ‘find’ new meanings for myself, and hopefully for the audiences of my work.

AbstractCyberbiosecurity is an emerging field that relates to the intersection of cybersecurity and the clinical and research practice in the biosciences. Beyond the concerns that usually arise in the areas of genomics, this paper highlights ethical concerns raised by cyberbiosecurity in clinical neuroscience. These concerns relate not only to the privacy of the data collected by imaging devices, but also the concern that patients using various stimulatory devices can be harmed by a hacker who either obfuscates the outputs or who interferes with the stimulatory process. The paper offers some suggestions as to how to rectify these increasingly dire concerns.

How do creative sound practices function in the context of socially engaged art? Toward developing a practical methodology, this paper focuses on sound-led projects that stage socially engaged art practice in community settings, including some involving the author. Aesthetics, ethics and politics are employed as interrogative lenses for distributed creative processes. Methods for collaborative art-making that facilitate a balance between these lenses are discussed, with the author further arguing the necessity of artistic “disruption.” Such sociosonic interventions are demonstrated to occur most effectively when sound practices challenge the paradigm of unidirectional audial reproduction: rupturing traditional hierarchies of creator and listener.

Artikel ini membahas keluarga sebagai objek prioritas dalam berdakwah. Hal ini dikarenakan setiap manusia, pasti menyerap pemikiran, ajaran, dan nilai-nilai agama yang hidup dalam keluarganya; keluarga adalah miniatur dari komunitas dan masyarakat Islam. Keluarga juga merupakan kelanjutan logis dari kedua fungsi keluarga di atas, maka institusi keluarga dengan sendirinya menjadi salah satu faktor penentu bagi kekuatan dan kelemahan umat Islam secara keseluruhan. Adanya globalisasi telah memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap masyarakat, termasuk dakwah. Seperti: melonggarnya ikatan keluarga, melemahnya ikatan-ikatan moral akibat dari paham serba halal, permissivenisme (al-ibahiyyah) dan paham hedonisme yang menyertai modernisme, serta kegoncangan jiwa yang mengganggu ketenangan dan kedamaian keluarga dan rumah tangga. Sehingga dakwah dalam keluarga menuntut aktualisasi sistem dan nilai-nilai Islam dalam kehidupan keluarga. Di samping itu, dalam artikel ini penulis mencoba mengemukakan hal-hal pokok yang perlu diperhatikan dalam pembinaan keluarga Islam sebagai pilar utama dakwah. Pertama, soal pembentukan keluarga melalui pernikahan. Kedua, soal pendidikan dan penanaman nilai-nilai agama dalam keluarga. Ketiga, soal penegakan keadilan dan kesetaraan gender. Karena ketiga hal ini berpengaruh terhadap kekuatan dan ketahanan keluarga Islam. This article discusses the family as a priority object in da'wah. This is because every human being, must absorb the thoughts, teachings, and religious values ​​that live in his/her family; the family is a miniature of the Islamic community and society. The family is also a logical continuation of the two family functions above, so the family institution itself is one of the determining factors for the strengths and weaknesses of the Muslim community as a whole. The existence of globalization has had a significant impact on society, including propaganda. Such as: loosening of family ties, weakening of moral ties as a result of all-round understanding, permissivenism (al-ibahiyyah) and understanding of hedonism that accompany modernism, and the shock of the soul that disturbs the peace and peace of family and household. So preaching in the family demands the actualization of Islamic systems and values ​​in family life. In addition, in this article the author tries to put forward the main things that need to be considered in fostering Islamic families as the main pillars of da'wah. First, a matter of forming a family through marriage. Second, the education and the inculcation of religious values ​​in the family. Third, the matter of upholding justice and gender equality. Because these three things affect the strength and resilience of Islamic families.

Norman Percy Allen was born on 5 June 1903, at Wrexham, North Wales, and was the fifth of ten children, seven girls and three boys. His father, Sidney Edward Allen, was an accountant who was employed in the Borough Treasurer’s Department at Wrexham at the time of Norman’s birth. He was one of the large family of a sculptor whose work was mainly on churches and other public buildings. In 1908, he became accountant to the Local Authority at Sheffield and in 1912 was appointed Borough Treasurer of Burton-on-Trent where he lived for the rest of his life. A deeply religious man, he was a very keen, active member of the Congregational Church and a local preacher. His children were all expected to take their part in Church activities and family life was much influenced by his insistence on its principles. This undoubtedly had a strong effect in shaping the characters of all his children. His mother, born Emily Davis, was a kind, intelligent, essentially practical person—very skilled in the domestic arts and an expert dressmaker. Care for her large family, who were very close together in age, left very little time for outside interests other than the Church. Little is known of her family, the remaining members of which are now in Canada. In a large and rather boisterous family, Norman is remembered as the quiet brother who was often absorbed in a book (he was a prolific reader) or in one of his succession of hobbies. He had, however, a keen sense of fun, one expression of which was in the nonsense verse he used to write and illustrate.

This chapter turns to Naw Sheera's childhood, covering her family life, her girlhood, and her early aspirations to become a teacher. She lived in a small and relatively isolated village called Et Et, where her family made their living as farmers. The chapter also reveals Naw Sheera's early exposure to Christianity. It goes on to detail Naw Sheera's life during the Japanese invasion, which interrupted her idyllic childhood and forced her to confront hardships alongside the rest of her village during the Japanese occupation. All throughout, Naw Sheera details her experiences with her grandmother in particular—an enterprising woman who unfortunately passed away during the occupation.
