  • Australian Photography and Transnationalism
    Australian Photography and Transnationalism ANNE MAXWELL UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE Transnationalism is a theoretical concept which today is widely used to describe the relations that have formed, and continue to form, across state boundaries (Howard 3). Used initially by scholars in the early 2000s to refer to the flow of goods and scientific knowledge between nations that ‘has increased significantly in modern times beginning with trade and empires in 1500’ (Howard 4), it has in recent years come to include the category of culture, a development that has in turn sparked a flood of publications aimed at interrogating nationalist histories. Among the first of these publications in Australia was Ann Curthoys and Marilyn Lake’s ground-breaking work Connected Worlds (2005), which radically transformed our conception of Australia’s past by repositioning Australian history ‘on the outer rim of Pacific and Indian Ocean studies, as a nodal point in British imperial studies and connected, or cast in a comparative light, with other settler colonial nations’ (Simmonds, Rees and Clark 1). Less than two years later in 2007, David Carter invoked what has come to be called the ‘transnational turn’ when he challenged scholars of Australian literature to focus on ‘the circulation of cultures beneath and beyond the level of the nation’ (Carter 114–19). His call, like that of Curthoys and Lake, was in response to several decades of scholarship emphasising the cultural nationalism which as Robert Dixon, in his compelling study of the photographic and cinematographic works of Frank Hurley observes, ‘began in the 1960s’ and ‘peak[ed] probably in the decade from 1977 to 1987’ (Dixon xxv).

  • Contexts for Conservation 20132013 National Conference --- Adelaideadelaide 23-23--- 25 October
    ContextsContexts for Conservation 20132013 National Conference --- AdelaideAdelaide 2323---- 25 October Caught in time: Preserving South Australia’s Old Colonists for a digital future Beth M Robertson & Peter Mitchelson Abstract The State Library of South Australia holds one or more versions of 17 photographic portrait mosaics created between 1872 and 1908. They depict close to 1,800 men and women who settled in the South Australian colony between its founding in 1836 and 1876. Known as ‘the Old Colonists’, the scope of the collection is unique in Australia. The Library is nearing the end of a long-term project to conserve the mosaics in collaboration with Artlab Australia, digitise the portraits, create a consolidated index of names and provide online access to both the index and the portraits. A significant proportion of the mosaics were in extremely poor condition. The treatments applied to restore five mosaics that had been roughly cut into halves or quarters are described in detail. The reasons for the neglect lie in the value assigned to the mosaics by generations of family history researchers. They have not been regarded as cultural artifacts per se but as containers of individual portraits of researchers’ forebears. The Library’s past management of the collection reflected the public’s view of the mosaics’ significance. Keywords Photographs; portrait mosaics; composites; significance Introduction The State Library of South Australia holds a collection of photographic portrait mosaics unparalleled in Australia. It comprises 17 mosaics depicting 1200 men and 600 women identified as colonists and pioneers of South Australia. The mosaics were created between 1872 and 1908; and they survive variously as artifacts, card-mounted studio prints and photographic copies.

  • Encounters and the Photographic Record in British New Guinea
    9 Encounters and the photographic record in British New Guinea Antje Lübcke The intricacies of encounters between photographers and their subjects need to be examined more closely, especially in the colonial context, as it has too often been taken for granted that the photographer was solely responsible for the resulting image or the only agent in the photographic encounter. The cameras that were used and the associated materials and chemicals needed for photography in the late nineteenth century meant that setting up a shot and developing a photograph were neither simple nor quick tasks. European photographers who travelled to the newly acquired territories of empire relied on local carriers and interpreters to assist them in their work; and when it came to photographing the indigenous people of these lands, the photographic encounter was shaped to varying degrees by their willingness to be photographed. Just as Felix Driver and Lowri Jones assert that ‘exploration was a joint project of work’ and a ‘shared experience’,1 I argue that the practice of photographing foreign lands and indigenous peoples was similarly dependent on local expertise and participation for its success.
