  • Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’S True History and the Myths That Haunt Us
    Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’s True History and the myths that haunt us Marija Pericic Master of Arts School of Communication and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne November 2011 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (by Thesis Only). Abstract Ned Kelly has been an emblem of Australian national identity for over 130 years. This thesis examines Peter Carey’s reimagination of the Kelly myth in True History of the Kelly Gang (2000). It considers our continued investment in Ned Kelly and what our interpretations of him reveal about Australian identity. The paper explores how Carey’s departure from the traditional Kelly reveals the underlying anxieties about Australianness and masculinity that existed at the time of the novel’s publication, a time during which Australia was reassessing its colonial history. The first chapter of the paper examines True History’s complication of cultural memory. It argues that by problematising Kelly’s Irish cultural memory, our own cultural memory of Kelly is similarly challenged. The second chapter examines Carey’s construction of Kelly’s Irishness more deeply. It argues that Carey’s Kelly is not the emblem of politicised Irishness based on resistance to imperial Britain common to Kelly narratives. Instead, he is less politically aware and also claims a transnational identity. The third chapter explores how Carey’s Kelly diverges from key aspects of the Australian heroic ideal he is used to represent: hetero-masculinity, mateship and heroic failure. Carey’s most striking divergence comes from his unsettling of gender and sexual codes.

(Al Purdy) Contemporary Australia is a land of varied cultures inhabited by the Aboriginals, the Whites and non-White immigrants. The Indigenous people of Australia have been dominated by the Whites since the very arrival of the Whites. They have not only been colonized but have been permanently rendered as a marginalized minority group. Even in the present times; their predicament has not changed much. They are still under the control of the Whites while limiting the Aboriginal people to the periphery of the continent have occupied the central position. Since the early 1970s, Australia has experienced multiple waves of immigration from Southeast Asia which have transformed the character of Australian society more radically than the earlier post-war immigration from Southern Europe. These non- white/coloured immigrants have remained sympathetic towards the original inhabitants in their new found home. However, the social positioning of these coloured people has somehow followed the same pattern as of the Aboriginals.

    EN 383: AUSTRALIAN LITERATURE COURSE SPECIFICATIONS Title EN 383: AUSTRALIAN LITERATURE Course Coordinator Dr. Sharon Clarke COURSE SYNOPSIS This course is designed to introduce students to the literature of Australia through an eclectic collection of texts covering diverse forms and genres of writing. A critical exploration of these texts will be undertaken in terms of Australia's cultural formation/ evolution. Aspects and contexts of history, geographical location, urban and rural landscape, climate, and people will inform this exploration. Where possible, relevant guest speakers will be invited to address classes. Critical material will be introduced to discussions in which all students are expected to participate. Where appropriate, videotaped footage will also be used and discussed as another form of critical appraisal of a text. FORMAT For this course, formal lectures, group tutorials and seminar presentations have been organised. Attendance at all sessions is compulsory. While lectures will offer certain readings of texts - as well as providing the historical, geographical, social and environmental background to these texts - such readings should be considered by no means exclusive. In seminar presentations, students will be encouraged to explore other meanings and to develop their own textually-based and research-based analytical and evaluative skills. All students will be expected to contribute to all class discussions and therefore need to prepare for each class by completing the reading designated in the following schedule, and by allowing all possible time for the consideration of issues raised in preparatory material provided in advance. Each student will also be expected to partake in a seminar. This presentation should take the form of a prepared informed address, developed around a particular aspect of a text, chosen from the list marked "Presentation Topics.

  • Resurrecting Ned Kelly LYN INNES
    Resurrecting Ned Kelly LYN INNES In a review of Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang, the poet Peter Porter commented that the three most potent icons in Australian popular history were Ned Kelly, Phar Lap, and Donald Bradman.1 Of these Ned Kelly has the longest history, and has undergone numerous revivals and reconfigurations. One might also argue that he was the least successful of the three; he was a man who saw himself as a victim of empire, class, race, and the judicial system. At least that is how Kelly presents himself in The Jerilderie Letter, and many of those who have written about him affirm that this view was justified. So the question is why and in what ways Ned Kelly has become so potent; why cannot Australians let him die? And what does he mean to Australians, or indeed the rest of the world, today? This essay will glance briefly at some early representations of Kelly, before discussing in more detail Peter Carey’s revival of Kelly, and considering the significance of that revival in the present. Kelly and his gang became legends in their lifetimes, and promoted themselves in this light. Joe Byrne, one of the gang members, is named as the author of “The Ballad of Kelly’s Gang”, sung to the tune of “McNamara’s Band”: Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear the news that’s going ‘round? On the head of bold Ned Kelly they have placed two thousand pound, And on Steve Hart, Joe Byrne and Dan two thousand more they’d give; But if the price was doubled, boys the Kelly Gang would live.

  • Robert Drewe and John Kinsell
    Sand Robert Drewe and John Kinsell About the Book Sand features new and collected writing from two of Australia’s most renowned authors: novelist and literary non-fiction writer Robert Drewe, and internationally acclaimed poet John Kinsella. In memoir, stories and poems, Drewe and Kinsella celebrate the all-pervasive Western Australian geological element of sand, and the shifting foundations on which memory, myth and meaning are built. The two writers explore a landscape both cultural and personal as they consider the intimate, geographical and historical importance of coastal and inland sand, and reveal its influences on their writing. These are standalone pieces, representing each of the authors’ work across time, and including new writing from them both. The pieces ‘converse’ with each other, and highlight points of similarity and difference in each other across a range of genres. Above all, the writing celebrates a quintessential Australian property: sand – from which many of our stories, assumptions and reckonings are drawn. About Robert Drewe Robert Drewe was born in Melbourne and moved with his family to Perth, WA, at the age of six. He worked as a junior reporter with The West Australian until his early twenties when he moved back to Melbourne. His novels, short stories and non-fiction, including his best-selling memoir The Shark Net, have been widely translated, won many national and international prizes, and been adapted for film, television, radio and theatre. The Shark Net, was adapted as an ABC and BBC television miniseries, and won the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award in 2000. His 1996 novel The Drowner was short listed for all five Australian Premier’s Awards.
