  • Feduni Researchonline Copyright Notice
    FedUni ResearchOnline https://researchonline.federation.edu.au Copyright Notice This is an original manuscript/preprint of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Continuum in September 2020, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/10304312.2020.1782838 CRICOS 00103D RTO 4909 Page 1 of 1 Comic investigation and genre-mixing: the television docucomedies of Lawrence Leung, Judith Lucy and Luke McGregor Lesley Speed In the twenty-first century, comedians have come to serve as public commentators. This article examines the relationship between genre-mixing and cultural commentary in four documentary series produced for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that centre on established comedians. These series are Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure (2009), Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey (2011), Judith Lucy is All Woman (2015) and Luke Warm Sex (2016). Each series combines the documentary and comedy genres by centring on a comedian’s investigation of a theme such as spirituality, gender or sex. While appearing alongside news satire, these docucomedies depart from the latter by eschewing politics in favour of existential themes. Embracing conventions of personalized documentaries, these series use performance reflexively to draw attention to therapeutic discourses and awkward situations. Giving expression to uncertain and questioning views of contemporary spirituality, gender and mediated intimacies, the docucomedies of Lawrence Leung, Judith Lucy and Luke McGregor stage interventions in contemporary debates that constitute forms of public pedagogy. Documentary comedy These series can be identified as documentary comedies, or docucomedies, which combine humour and non-fiction representation without adhering primarily to either genre. Although the relationship between comedy and factual screen works has received little sustained attention, notes Paul Ward, a program can combine both genres (2005, 67, 78–9).

  • Representations of the Secular Neutrality, Spirituality and Mourning in Australian and Canadian Cultural Politics
    Representations of the Secular Neutrality, Spirituality and Mourning in Australian and Canadian Cultural Politics Sophie Sunderland B.A. (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of English and Cultural Studies 2009 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which ‘the secular’ is represented in contemporary Australian participatory art, screen, and print cultures. Secularisms are currently the subject of analysis in a broad range of disciplines within the humanities, and this thesis intervenes upon the field by focusing on the cultural politics of representations of embodied, spatialized secularisms. The secular is commonly defined in opposition to the ‘religious,’ and can also be extrapolated to the division of public and private spaces. Thus, by considering the occlusions and violences inherent in the ways bodies negotiate and are constructed through space, this thesis argues for the fluidity and porosity of these oppositions. By drawing from Janet Jakobsen and Ann Pellegrini’s notion of secularisms, understood as specific, situated narratives of the secular, as well as Talal Asad’s and William E. Connolly’s conceptions of the secular, this thesis identifies ‘neutrality’ and ‘spirituality’ as two key narratives of the secular around which questions of language, embodiment, affect, and subjectivity are set in motion. Here, a regime of representation that constructs ‘religious’ subjects as outsiders to an imagined Australian national identity is critiqued and reconsidered in terms of anxieties about remembering and living with difference and loss. Rather than defining ‘the secular,’ this thesis seeks to maintain focus on the context and contingencies of enunciation.
