1 8 1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

Title A name given to the resource New Procession ushers in Slipper era Subject The topic of the resource Australian Parliament, Canberra, ceremonial robes, Chamber, House of Representatives, lobby, mace, medieval ritual, parliament, Parliament House, procession, public display, ritual, serjeant-at-arms, Speaker, weapon Description An account of the resource This article from the online edition of ABC News reports on a change in Australian parliamentary procedure. A longer and more formal procession from the lobby of Parliament House to the Chamber of the House of Representatives has been introduced by Peter Slipper (the Speaker) on Tuesdays, the article explains, so that visitors and members of the public are better able to witness the ceremonial opening of parliamentary proceedings. An image of Slipper, in his ceremonial robes, following the Serjeant-at-Arms and the official mace accompanies the article. The mace plays an important and symbolic role in the House of Representatives, as in the British House of Commons. The association of the mace with parliament most likely originates from the medieval period, when the King’s bodyguards, also known as serjeants-at-arms, were each armed with a mace. Gradually, the mace became associated with the customs and rituals of parliamentary ceremony rather than with its former use as a weapon.
