Abstract

Historically, governing, and thus planning, the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) has been framed in a plethora of ways. Seemingly, ‘the plan’ and planning has to be all things to all people, but the reforms, instituted in the Water Act 2007 (Cwlth), have resulted in greater complexity, uncertainty and controversy. Effective governing of the Basin along an unfolding, viable trajectory within an Anthropocene-world seems more elusive than ever. In this context, we propose a research and praxis agenda for dramaturgy as an initiative that seeks ‘effective’ water governance in the MDB. A dramaturge is someone,group, body or process who writes/adapts a play, brings forth a particular type of performance set in an ever-changing audience/context. Dramaturges engage in praxis. Two exemplar dramaturgies , developed through ex poste and ex ante analyses, are outlined. Each can be refined or consolidated in an on-going deliberative inquiry-process that generates social learning and effects concerted action for future MDB governance. Our research inquiry is exploratory but is based on a choice to frame governance from a cyber-systemic perspective, a praxis continually enacted through the interactions of actors, their symbols and frames and feedback dynamics between the social and biophysical world. We show how a dramaturgical framework can be used to analyse a policy process to reveal the important symbolic and performative dimensions, which are usually unrecognised.

重新想象墨累-达令盆地治理的戏剧
从历史上看,墨累-达令盆地(MDB)的治理和规划有多种方式。看起来,“计划”和规划必须是所有人的全部,但2007年《水法》(Cwlth)中制定的改革导致了更大的复杂性、不确定性和争议。在人类世世界中,沿着一条正在展开的可行轨迹对盆地进行有效治理似乎比以往任何时候都更加难以捉摸。在这种背景下,我们提出了一项研究和实践议程,作为一项旨在寻求MDB“有效”水治理的举措。戏剧制作人是指在不断变化的观众/环境中创作/改编一部戏剧,展现特定类型表演的人、团体、身体或过程。戏剧涉及实践。概述了通过事后分析和事前分析发展起来的两种典型戏剧。每一项都可以在持续的审议调查过程中进行提炼或整合,从而产生社会学习,并为未来的MDB治理采取一致行动。我们的研究调查是探索性的,但基于从网络系统的角度构建治理的选择,这是一种通过参与者的互动、他们的符号和框架以及社会和生物物理世界之间的反馈动态不断制定的实践。我们展示了如何使用戏剧框架来分析政策过程,以揭示通常未被认识到的重要象征和表现维度。文章历史接收日期:2022年7月8日接受日期:2023年1月20日

期刊介绍: The Australasian Journal of Water Resources ( AJWR) is a multi-disciplinary regional journal dedicated to scholarship, professional practice and discussion on water resources planning, management and policy. Its primary geographic focus is on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Papers from outside this region will also be welcomed if they contribute to an understanding of water resources issues in the region. Such contributions could be due to innovations applicable to the Australasian water community, or where clear linkages between studies in other parts of the world are linked to important issues or water planning, management, development and policy challenges in Australasia. These could include papers on global issues where Australasian impacts are clearly identified.
