- Description: Recognising opportunity and acknowledging the challenges of conducting research outside of highly resourced major metropolitan centres is strategically important at a time when global connectivity and mobility are increasing and the complexity of “wicked” problems demands more than one approach or solution. Addressing these wicked problems increasingly requires transdisciplinary approaches to better understand and support adaptation and transformation. Expertise in regional research enhances our understanding of how knowledge is constructed and emerges across a range of environments and communities, wherever they are found and however they might be defined. © The Author(s) 2020.

- Description: On February 9, 2014, the town of Morwell in Victoria, Australia, was confronted with several bushfires, resulting in a blaze at the Morwell open cut coal mine adjacent to the Hazelwood power station. For 45 days, the local communities were impacted by smoke, ash, and reports of raised carbon monoxide levels. The duration of the crisis placed an unprecedented strain on the capacity of the community and the authorities to adequately respond. Many see Morwell as vulnerable to future events because it is surrounded by coal mines, power stations, forests, and pine plantations. Drawing on interviews from key stakeholders in the community and a detailed analysis of media reports and social media, this chapter examines the factors that both harm and promote community resilience. It emphasizes the complexity of resilience and the importance of communal narratives as community members react to and recover from traumatic experiences and unknown futures.

- Description: An important critique of much academic research is that so often it fails to collaborate in meaningful ways with those outside the university and to share the creation and dissemination of knowledge. The lack of inclusion and acknowledgement of research participants in the research process comes out of a tradition of empiricism that perceives research as an objective and disinterested activity, one that positions subjects as objects. Yet scholars from a range of disciplines have questioned this omission, challenging the ‘traditionally hierarchical relationships between research and action, and between researchers and “researched” … [in order to] empower “ordinary people” in and through research’ (Kindon, Pain & Kesby, 2010, p. 1). Feminist perspectives have been influential in this task, and have argued that we must recognise difference and facilitate ways for a range of voices to be given a space from which to speak (Cahill & Torre, 2010; Gibson-Graham, 1994; Kobayashi & Peake, 1994; Rose, 1993). Participatory research practices, for example, have sought to conduct research committed to social action that includes both the research process and its outcomes (Cahill, 2006; Pain & Kindon, 2007; mrs c kinpaisby-hill, 2011).

- Description: The concept of affect in contemporary theory marks a return to the body as a site for the interplay of thought and feeling, and its importance derives from its refusal to reduce the body to the status of a container for either the mind or, by implication, the emotions. The body is the very condition for the transmission or distribution of affect both in terms of its capacity for movement and for perceptual engagement, whereas emotion is a particular type of containment and localisation of affect within the body. For modernist dance, the breadth of the theory of affect means. "From abstract"

- Description: The Australian summer is framed by a narrative of bushfi re. Southeastern Australia is recognized as one of the most highly bushfi re-prone regions in the world, with fire very much part of the life cycle of the environment. Large bushfire events, such as those dubbed Black Friday (1939), Ash Wednesday (1984), and the most recent, Black Saturday (2009), generate much media coverage, which records and narrates the stories of those caught by these fi restorms. Depictions of devastation and ruin, as well as of grief, despair, hope, and courage, are very much part of a national iconography, 2 and are readily used to galvanize notions of mateship and community as a means to respond to those in need.

- Description: Festival activities lure us in and arouse emotions that the potential to encourage us to be more with others. We stop for a moment and listen the local foods, and generally get caught up in the festival moment. Or, at times we may feel quited alienated by these events, rejecting the sorts of activities and performances we come across, and not wishing to be part of these atvivities, we grimace, cover our eyes and hurry past. At a festival, then any notion of feeling of belong is most deeply created out of the bodily and emotive experiences of being 'in the groove together' (Keil & Feld, 1994: 167). Emotions ar activated through festival activities that ecourage crowd inter-mingling, such as listening to music peformances, joining in dance, the aromas and taste of food and other forms of shared experiences.

- Description: There has been much research on festivals as events that celebrate identity and community, but in my research I have focused on the ways such music events offer an intensification of connections - social, cultural, political, musical, emotional - because of the ways in which we experience music. This paper explores the cultural work of the community music festival and the ethics implicit in listening in terms of co-performance–a ‘doing with’ that is a deep commitment–in which we were not separate from the event, but swept into its intellectual, emotional and performative practices
