The Dust of Life: On Street Children and the Language of Othering There is a quiet power in language — a stealthy force that can humanise or erase, uplift or condemn, draw people in or cast them out. One of the most dangerous things we do, often without realising, i...

Screenshot of journal article. Title: “A Kind of Humble Proletarian Tragedy”: Romper Stomper, Class and Global White Nationalism. Author: Caitlin Mahar, Swinburne University of Technology. Abstract: Released in 1992, the Australian film Romper Stomper provoked a storm of controversy. Writer/director Geoffrey Wright’s portrayal of neo-Nazi skinheads targeting Vietnamese Australians in Melbourne created unease because it was unclear where the filmmaker’s sympathies lay. Did the film condemn its skinhead characters or, if inadvertently, justify their racist views and behaviour? This article unpacks the film’s ambivalent portrayal of its central protagonists by placing it in historical context, focusing particularly on the filmmaker’s insistence that Romper Stomper is a film about class. Building on scholarship on the history of working-class youth subcultures and the emerging field of global White nationalism, it examines Wright’s feature debut as (in his words) a kind of “proletarian tragedy” to argue that the film offers rare insight into a violent, bigoted, disenfranchised sector of the population and helps illuminate aspects of broader socioeconomic, political and cultural changes taking place in Australia in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Next in 49.1, we continue our trajectory of understanding Australian working class youth as Mahar interrogates filmmaker Geoffrey Wright's claim that Romper Stomper was a "proletarian tragedy".

Screenshot of journal article front page. Title: “First Blood”: The 1960s Origins of the Australian Sharpie Youth Culture. Author: Paul "Nazz" Oldham, UniSA. Abstract: The sharpies were a uniquely Australian youth culture that lasted from the early 1960s into the 1980s and were a significant continuation of the trajectory of Australian, male-dominated, working-class, consumption-based, rowdy youth-cultural traditions, which include the bodgies and widgies of the 1950s and the larrikins of the 1860s to 1918. Sharpies are under-discussed in social narratives and academic texts. This article focuses on the life cycle of the original generation of sharpies. In addition to exploring the origins of sharpie culture, I explore why it provided an outlet for its bored suburban, working-class youths, present explanations for behavioural attitudes and offer some insight into its attraction. I also explore how the first generation of this youth culture came to its natural end, how it was picked up again by the next generation and why. In learning about the sharpies’ activities and behaviours, from the egregious to the mundane, we open ourselves to learning something not just about suburban, working-class Australian youths but about all young people who take part in group-based youth cultures.

Start your week right with some reading from 49.1.

Oldham looks at 1960s sharpie culture as an outlet for working class suburban youth and how it resonated through later youth subcultures.
