Since the de-annexation of East Timor from Indonesia, the status of the production sharing contracts issued under the Timor Gap Treaty between Australia and Indonesia has been uncertain. The Zone of Co-operation has been administered pursuant to interim arrangements agreed between Australia and UNTAET, the United Nations authority responsible for the administration of East Timor. With the exception of the development activities being carried on in connection with the Bayu-Undan Field, work by the contractors under their PSC’s has basically halted. The contractors have in effect been in a state of force majeure.On 20 May 2002, Australia and East Timor signed a Treaty for the further development of the region, now known as the joint petroleum development Area. A number of significant changes have been made. At the time of preparing this abstract the Treaty has not been ratified and the exact form of the production sharing contracts to be offered to the existing contractors is not known. The arrangements under the Timor Sea Treaty are interim only and can be changed upon permanent delimitation of the seabed boundaries. Australia and East Timor have indicated that they intend to proceed to negotiate those boundaries.This paper will analyse the history of the negotiations and their outcome, the international unitisation agreement, the positions of the existing holders of production sharing contracts and how their rights are to be transitioned through to the new regime. The paper will report on the new issues and risks that arise for contractors who have existing titles and those who are seeking to invest in the JPDA and on any changes to commercial terms.

The Kitan oil field is located in the northern Bonaparte Basin in the Joint Petroleum Development Area, an area jointly administered by Timor-Leste and Australia. The Kitan structure is a Jurassic east-west trending tilted fault block. The Kitan–1 exploration well was drilled and successfully tested in early 2008. Kitan–2 appraisal well was drilled immediately after Kitan–1 and intersected the reservoir up-dip from Kitan–1 and confirmed the extension of the oil accumulation. The main oil-bearing section is in the shallow marine sandstone of the Middle Jurassic Laminaria Formation. It is divided into two reservoir zones: a blocky channelised sandstone (Unit–2) overlain by a dominantly finer-grained succession composed of coarsening-upwards para-sequences (Unit–1). Kitan oil field was declared a commercial discovery in April 2008 and a field development plan was submitted in May 2009 and approved in April 2010. Four development wells were drilled of which three were completed as producers, each employing an intelligent completion design to enable independent control and monitoring of the two reservoirunits. The three wells were tied back subsea via flexible flowlines and risers to the Glas Dowr FPSO. Oil production from the Kitan started in October 2011, about 3.5 years after the discovery of the field. The fast-track development of Kitan was achieved due to accelerated appraisal, prompt completion of studies, early commitment to long lead items, and excellent support from joint-venture partners and government.

The article discusses alternative wedding ceremonies staged in urban spaces as a statement of protest among immigrant couples that cannot marry in rabbinical courts, because they are not recognized as Jews. These public weddings are organized and sponsored by the Fishka association of young Israeli adults of Russian origin. Our field–work at Fishka included participant observation of its various events during 2013–2014, as well as in–depth interviews with the key informants, promotional materials, and video recordings of their public wedding ceremonies held in the streets of Tel–Aviv in 2009–2011. Embedded in the social history of the city and framed in the concepts of urban diversity and the politics of belonging, our ethnographic data juxtapose “Russian” street weddings with other public festivals sponsored by Fishka and other protest actions by minority groups. Alternative, civil weddings emerge as a form of active and critical citizenship among young Russian immigrants, seeking solidarity of other Israelis in the joint effort to reform the status quo and enable civil alternatives to Orthodox marriage. The active political stance and cultural activism of Fishka members challenge native Israelis’ monopoly on communal public space; young immigrants are thus carving a place for themselves in the iconic sites of the city's public cultural sphere.

This chapter outlines a sociolinguistic history of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and considers the complexity that this history poses to the postcolonial and non-postcolonial Englishes categorisation. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the status and functions of English in the UAE, and it studies the roles of the English language in the country. Considering these elements, the text applies the EIF Model to the variety and hypothesizes the direction in which the variety is likely to develop. This application suggests that the variety is entering phase 3, and that any further development to the variety is strongly tied to future social and economic developments in the country.

The article deals with the methodological foundations of the biographical method in the context of digital humanities. The bidirectional character of biography leads us to the problem’s methodological level: social predicament of the individual world and reciprocal determinability of the social world by the individual world. The biographical method is closely linked to thematization of subjectivity. The biographical method’ s methodological problems are connected with context, reference, authenticity, and reflexivity. The authors link the biographical method with memory studies and emphasize that the turn to memory is associated with many theoretical questions and controversies related to the status of history as a science and its relation to the field of human memory. The multidirectional biography studies reveal the lack of a conceptual apparatus, common for the interdisciplinary space of humanities, which allows to develop the criteria for comparability of scientific research results. The authors associate the further development of the biographical method with the development of the modern information society. They note the prospects of using the methods of digital humanities associated with the search, selection and analysis of texts presented in digital form. The rationale for this thesis is that at present there is a constant increase of electronic texts that can be used both for the development of the biographical method and serve as its empirical base. The article demonstrates the possibility of applying the biographical method using the tools of digital humanities on the examples of research on the history of science, which are part of the world’s cultural heritage.

Do campo para a cidade e vice-versa: elementos da história do movimento Garifuna em HondurasEste artigo propõe abordar à história da luta Garífuna em Honduras, centrando-se na fundação e posterior evolução da Organização Fraternal Negra de Honduras (OFRANEH), atualmente Federação do Povo Garífuna Hondurenho. Partimos da formação das primeiras organizações negras nas cidades da Costa Norte, desde a década de 1950 até a fundação da OFRANEH a finais dos anos 70, em contra o racismo e a discriminação imperantes e em vínculo com as migrações laborais e o auge do ativismo sindical. Tratamos de entender a evolução da OFRANEH nas duas décadas seguintes a partir de suas dinâmicas internas, da agudização da problemática territorial nas comunidades garífunas da costa, de uma transformação multicultural no âmbito estatal e o surgimento de um movimento étnico a nível nacional.

We begin with the formation of the first black organizations in North Coast's towns, from 1950 until the foundation of OFRANEH in the late 70s, against racism and the prevailing discrimination, and in connection with labor migration and the heyday of union activism. We attempt to understand the evolution of OFRANEH in the next two decades, starting from its internal dynamics, along with the intensification of territorial issues in the Garifuna communities of the coast, a multicultural transformation in the state and the appearance of a national ethnic movement. At last, we discuss the contradictions of neoliberal multiculturalism and its consequences for the indigenous and Garifuna movement, in relation to their identity references, their ideological frameworks and their political strategies. This study aims to synthesize existing information by integrating elements of reflection and input from field work in progress since 2011.Keywords: Honduras; Garifuna; Black movement; Indigenous movement; afrodescendant

A worn Iguanodon tooth from Cuckfield, Sussex, illustrated by Mantell in 1827, 1839, 1848 and 1851, was labelled by Mantell as the first tooth sent to Baron Cuvier in 1823 and acknowledged as such by Sir Charles Lyell. The labelled tooth was taken to New Zealand by Gideon's son Walter in 1859. It was deposited in a forerunner of the Museum of New Zealand, Wellington in 1865 and is still in the Museum, mounted on a card bearing annotations by both Gideon Mantell and Lyell. The history of the Gideon and Walter Mantell collection in the Museum of New Zealand is outlined, and the Iguanodon tooth and its labels are described and illustrated. This is the very tooth which Baron Cuvier first identified as a rhinoceros incisor on the evening of 28 June 1823.

The first critical study of the 1985 international treaty that guarantees the status of local self-government (local autonomy). Chris Himsworth analyses the text of the 1985 European Charter of Local Self-Government and its Additional Protocol; traces the Charter’s historical emergence; and explains how it has been applied and interpreted, especially in a process of monitoring/treaty enforcement by the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities but also in domestic courts, throughout Europe. Locating the Charter’s own history within the broader recent history of the Council of Europe and the European Union, the book closes with an assessment of the Charter’s future prospects.

Which kind of relation exists between a stone, a cloud, a dog, and a human? Is nature made of distinct domains and layers or does it form a vast unity from which all beings emerge? Refusing at once a reductionist, physicalist approach as well as a vitalistic one, Whitehead affirms that « everything is a society » This chapter consequently questions the status of different domains which together compose nature by employing the concept of society. The first part traces the history of this notion notably with reference to the two thinkers fundamental to Whitehead: Leibniz and Locke; the second part defines the temporal and spatial relations of societies; and the third explores the differences between physical, biological, and psychical forms of existence as well as their respective ways of relating to environments. The chapter thus tackles the status of nature and its domains.

In 1939, at the height of her stardom, the actress Shanta Apte went on a spectacular hunger strike in protest against her employers at Prabhat Studios in Poona, India. The following year, Apte wrote a harsh polemic against the extractive nature of the film industry. In Jaau Mi Cinemaat? (Should I Join the Movies?, 1940), she highlighted the durational depletion of the human body that is specific to acting work. This article interrogates these two unprecedented cultural events—a strike and a book—opening them up toward a history of embodiment as production experience. It embeds Apte's emphasis on exhaustion within contemporaneous debates on female stardom, industrial fatigue, and the status of cinema as work. Reading Apte's remarkable activism as theory from the South helps us rethink the meanings of embodiment, labor, materiality, inequality, resistance, and human-object relations in cinema.
