Extractions: The WMC Dossier - From "The Gulliver File" WMC is Australia's second leading mining house (after CRA) (1), with an "extraordinary record of mineral discoveries" (2, 3), notable successes in discovering oil and gas (4), important investments (through Alcoa) in bauxite, alumina and aluminium, in copper and coal (5), interests in talc (6,7) and - over the last fifteen years - significant flirtations with mineral sands (8, 9), involvement in phosphates (through its erstwhile holding in Broken Hill South) (10), and multi-mineral deposits, such as Benambra (11) (a JV with BP which it put up for sale in late 1986) (12). In late 1987, flush with huge profits from 1986/1987 and cash reserves of some A$ 1300 million (13), WMC ventured into gold in North America - the first time it had gone out of the Australia/Fiji orbit (13). It bought up Northgate Mines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northgate Exploration (14), and Seabright Resources Inc. It then bid for Grandview Resources and Northgate's Norbeau Mines Inc subsidiary (15). It also made a bid for control of Western Goldfields Inc (15). Within a few months, however, it was expressing discontent at the deal with Seabright (whose gold resources appear to have been less than originally claimed) (16), but made clear it was in the market for even more North American acquisitions and big ones at that - employing assets in the region of US$1 billion (17). Dominated over the last decade by two of the most controversial and reactionary figures in Australian mining, Arvi Parbo and Hugh Morgan, WMC has long been seen as "one of the biggest wheeler-dealers in the big mining league" (18), with an enviable ability to juggle figures and display a profit. (Searching through the maze of Western Mining's statement of annual results, commented the Financial Times in 1982, was "a task even skilled accountants may feel requires the assistance of a compass and guide dog") (19).

Extractions: 30 April 2000 SINHALA-NESS AND SINHALA NATIONALISM Michael Roberts This essay has been prepared for the Marga Project on "Ethnic Reconciliation" and should not be cited without acknowledgment. No segments should be taken verbatim without permission. In the British colonial era one can speak of a combative upsurge of cultural nationalism among the Sinhalese from the mid-late nineteenth century in opposition to the subordinations imposed on them by the imperial order. In so far as the British colonialists arrogantly looked down on them (and all "natives") as inferior, this was a response of the downtrodden. This line of response overlapped with a movement of Buddhist revitalisation that had commenced earlier, partly as a counter to the denigration of Buddhism by the Christian missionaries and their followers and the ongoing proselytisation among the Sinhalese. Eventually these strands flowed into and inspired the socio-political changes associated with the year "1956." Because of the emphasis on the "Sinhala Only" language platform in the rhetoric of the MEP-led-by-the SLFP, the principal associational organisation behind the electoral shift, this development has been described as a "linguistic nationalism" (e. g. by K M de Silva 1981). However, here, I will refer to these strands by the more inclusive phrase "cultural nationalism," a concept that encompasses a language emphasis as well as other dimensions, indicated by such words as "tradition," "civilisation" and "history."

The Cree Indian people learn how to listen to the environment, to the wind, to the rocks. We learn how to listen to everything. Some of the elders are saying that our young people need help to get back to "The Listening." This is everything in the Cree teachings. Our young people have forgotten. White people forgot how a long time ago. They all need to come back and learn how to do this. There can be no real respect unless we learn how to listen to each other, not to hear what we want to hear, but to hear the truth.

Winachukil accepts Anderson's model as useful, but modifies it to argue that it is a discursive construct. In particular he looks at how the shift from the pre-modern cosmology discourse to a modern discourse involves the creation of a domain with definitive boundaries mapping the geo-body of the State. The transition between these two discourses, so Tambiah has argued in the case of Thailand, is about the transition from a pulsating mandala galactic polity, working to cosmological boundaries, to the radial state, working to geographical boundaries.
