>  'rent a crowd', 'revolutionaries', 'rioters', 'ignorant fools', 
> 'anti-Australian', 'trouble makers', anti- social'
>
>  Papers are invited for a volume on the performance of identity within 
> and through Australian protests, marches, parades and processions.
>
>Crowds of people on the street can be alien, familiar, fun, people like us 
>or those others.  Throughout the twentieth century the streets filled with 
>constant tides of different faces of Australia that claimed space in the 
>urban landscape and the social memory. Some that continue to claim a 
>space, some that seem lost in the past, some that are included within 
>social narratives, some that are excluded.
>
>This book focuses on groups of Australians proclaiming their identity 
>collectively on the streets over the last hundred years from a range of 
>disciplinary and theoretical approaches. The essays will explore the 
>performative aspects of the protests, marches, and processions as events 
>that claimed Australian urban landscapes. These performances will be 
>examined in terms of the ways that the participants' intentions, actions 
>and responses intersect and diverge with the attributed social 
>significance and the incorporation of the event into social narratives. 
>Events will include (but are not limited to): ANZAC Day Parades, Mardi 
>Gras, Political Protests such as the Moratoriums, the Tent Embassy, 
>Survival 88 Marches, Reconciliation Marches, S11, Religious Processions, 
>Cultural Events, and Community Celebrations such as Moomba. Essays will be 
>linked thematically according to the events' perceived political, social, 
>or religious significance.
>
>In keeping with the interdisciplinary tenor of this book, articles should 
>be addressed to a non-specialist audience. Essays should be 6,000 words.
>
>Interested contributors should send a Title and Abstract of 500 words to 
>Maryrose Casey or Delyse Ryan by November 30th 2004.
