“You talkin’ to me”
Taxi Driver at 50: Martin Scorsese’s film remains a troubling reflection of our times - a forlorn portrait of a society coming apart at the seams.
“There are a lot of Travis Bickles, especially right now.”
"They’re all talking to each other on the internet. When I first wrote about him, he was talking to nobody. He really was, at that point, the Underground Man. Now he’s the Internet Man."
"It is a sobering thought."

Country Knowledge through Space, Time and Mobility
Mindful journey or instrumental reason?At any Australian coast one usually hears the drone of speeding tinnies or even jet ski. Run by fossil fuel they are loud, fast and polluting. Fishermen, like car drivers operate in a 'getting things done’ modus.
But the acceleration of motorised (maritime) mobility is not conductive to the encounter between people and Country.
Indigenous Australians are renewing and maintaining the slow quiet movement of canoes to allow a different people-place relation.
“Moving faster can unsettle the possibilities for interaction that involves sitting near, listening, observing and engaging…The point is that the way we move is intimately connected to the way we know.”
