The Technologizing of inhumane practices

Australia's aggressive foreign policy stance, particularly on the refugee / illegal immigrant issue has been politically successful. This paper attributes this success to a two-part strategy. The first, using the theories of Said and Barthes, is to create a "ubiquitous semiotic" that plugs into Australia’s invasion myth. Founded on fear and ignorance it demonizes a recognisable "other", the "oriental" refugee demonised as a queue jumper. The second part of the strategy responds to the daily news and public affairs programs, which scrutinize government actions, but also provide the locus of contesting political discourses. The paper deals cursorily with the first part, the ubiquitous semiotic. The tactic of technologizing the inhumane is examined using sociolinguistic analysis of a television interview involving the Australian Immigration Minister. From this, it becomes evident how the process of classification into "other" allow the logic of technocratic processes to treat people inhumanely

A triclinic polymorph of benzanilide : disordered molecules form hydrogen-bonded chains

Peer reviewedPublisher PD

tert-Butyl 2-{[2,8-bis­(trifluoro­meth­yl)quinolin-4-yl](hy­droxy)meth­yl}piperidine-1-carboxyl­ate

The title mol­ecule, C22H24F6N2O3, adopts a folded conformation whereby the carboxyl­ate residue lies over the quinolinyl residue, with the dihedral angle between the carbamate and quinoline planes being 41.64 (7)°. Helical supra­molecular C(7) chains sustained by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds propagating along the a-axis direction feature in the crystal packing. The F atoms of one of the CF3 groups are disordered over two orientations; the major component has a site occupancy of 0.824 (7)

Benzyl 2-{[2,8-bis­(trifluoro­meth­yl)quinolin-4-yl](hy­droxy)meth­yl}piperidine-1-carboxyl­ate

The title mol­ecule, C25H22F6N2O3, adopts an open conformation whereby the quinoline and carboxyl­ate ester groups are orientated in opposite directions but to the same side of the piperidine ring so that the mol­ecule has an approximate U-shape. The piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(14) loops
