“…Mobile phones are by far the most used technology among adolescents [ 6 ], surpassing TV, video games, and other forms of Internet access. In the past 5 years, affordable mobile phones with camera and messaging functions have spawned a “mobile phone culture” in some remote areas, where messages, pictures, and video clips flow freely among and between communities, often in culturally unique and creative ways [ 7 ].…”

BackgroundHealth promotion organizations are increasingly embracing social media technologies to engage end users in a more interactive way and to widely disseminate their messages with the aim of improving health outcomes. However, such technologies are still in their early stages of development and, thus, evidence of their efficacy is limited.ObjectiveThe study aimed to provide a current overview of the evidence surrounding consumer-use social media and mobile software apps for health promotion interventions, with a particular focus on the Australian context and on health promotion targeted toward an Indigenous audience. Specifically, our research questions were: (1) What is the peer-reviewed evidence of benefit for social media and mobile technologies used in health promotion, intervention, self-management, and health service delivery, with regard to smoking cessation, sexual health, and otitis media? and (2) What social media and mobile software have been used in Indigenous-focused health promotion interventions in Australia with respect to smoking cessation, sexual health, or otitis media, and what is the evidence of their effectiveness and benefit?MethodsWe conducted a scoping study of peer-reviewed evidence for the effectiveness of social media and mobile technologies in health promotion (globally) with respect to smoking cessation, sexual health, and otitis media. A scoping review was also conducted for Australian uses of social media to reach Indigenous Australians and mobile apps produced by Australian health bodies, again with respect to these three areas.ResultsThe review identified 17 intervention studies and seven systematic reviews that met inclusion criteria, which showed limited evidence of benefit from these interventions. We also found five Australian projects with significant social media health components targeting the Indigenous Australian population for health promotion purposes, and four mobile software apps that met inclusion criteria. No evidence of benefit was found for these projects.ConclusionsAlthough social media technologies have the unique capacity to reach Indigenous Australians as well as other underserved populations because of their wide and instant disseminability, evidence of their capacity to do so is limited. Current interventions are neither evidence-based nor widely adopted. Health promotion organizations need to gain a more thorough understanding of their technologies, who engages with them, why they engage with them, and how, in order to be able to create successful social media projects.

“…We recommend developing digital citizenship initiatives that remain mindful of young people's context and how factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, race, sexual identity, physical ability, geography, religion, socioeconomic status, national origin, and educational attainment may affect their access to and use of digital technologies. 31 For example, UNICEF (2017) With respect to national origin, studies exploring social media use among Indigenous youth in Australia, for example, reveal that social media can offer Indigenous youth opportunities to express their identity and connect with other members of the community, helping them to define, affirm, and strengthen their identity (Healy, 2013;Kral, 2010;Lumby, 2010). Social media accounts such as @IndigenousX on Twitter provide a space for Indigenous peoples to share their stories with others, with a different member from the Indigenous community tweeting each week from the account (Rice, Haynes, Royce, & Thompson, 2016).…”

“…Academic criticism and online responses (of which there are many) have interrogated the parodic and subversive aspect of the 'Zorba' performance, criticized commodification and ethnic stereotyping or celebrated empowerment (see e.g. Tamisari 2010, 67;De Largy Healy 2013). While it is hard to see the success of The Chooky Dancers as anything but an affirmation of indigenous artistic agency, 15 special attention needs to be paid to how the group and their performances are framed in criticism and in self-marketing with regard to the opposition between traditionalism and modernity.…”

1 See the links in the Works Cited; all clips are three to five minutes in duration and readily available on YouTube and Vimeo. The 'Bismil' clip is a slightly abridged version of the scene in the film. As an anonymous reviewer of this paper noted, the links have vastly different viewing numbers. I am, however, not concerned with making an argument about these specific clips and their popularity or range of dissemination but listing them to provide access to the performances discussed in this article. 2 Fredric Jameson, in his stocktaking of the agenda of cultural studies, reminds us of its origin in dissatisfaction with "the more traditional opposition between the contemporary concerns of students of mass or popular culture and the tendentiously backward-gazing perspective of literary critics (even when the canonized works are 'modern' and relatively recent in time)" (1993, 19).
