  • 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.

  • Paintings from Warmun ST PAUL St Gallery One 25 September – 23 October 2015
    Paintings from Warmun ST PAUL St Gallery One 25 September – 23 October 2015 These paintings all come from artists working in Warmun, a community of about 400 people located 200 kilometres south of Kununurra in the Kimberley region of far north Western Australia. The Warmun Art Centre there was founded by Queenie McKenzie, Madigan Thomas, Hector Jandany, Lena Nyadbi, Betty Carrington and Patrick Mung Mung, members of the contemporary painting movement that began in the mid-1970s. Warmun Art Centre is owned and governed by the Gija people, its income returned to the community. Today some 50 emerging and established Gija artists work there. The works are by Warmun artists Mabel Juli, David Cox, Lena Nyadbi, Churchill Cann, Gordon Barney, Phyllis Thomas and Shirley Purdie. In these paintings the material is the work; they are earth and mineral as well as images. While they are stylistically very different in approach, all share the ochre, charcoal and natural earth pigments that typify contemporary Aboriginal painting in the Kimberley region. Coloured by iron oxide, ochre ranges from subtle yellow to deep red-brown. Mawandu or white ochre (extensively used in Mabel Juli’s work, alongside black ochre) is distinctive to the Kimberley area. This is a naturally occurring white clay that forms deep in the ground along certain riverbeds. Mixing natural pigments with mawandu provides range of colours including lime greens, greys, and a rare pink, all of which are produced at Warmun and traded with art centres across the region. ‘I don’t paint another country, I paint my own’, says Mabel Juli.

  • Framing the Crimes of Colonialism Critical Images of Aboriginal Art and Law
    Chapter 8 Framing the crimes of colonialism Critical images of aboriginal art and law Chris Cunneen ‘Painting is our foundation. White man calls it art’ Galarrwuy Yunupingu (quoted in Isaacs, 1999: xi). Introduction This chapter considers images of crime and law, and what we, through the lens of cultural criminology, might learn of the nature and experiences of crime represented through the image. Cultural criminology opens a new space for understanding crime, especially where the image is produced by those who are victims of crime and simultaneously without access to other channels of communication within mainstream social and political institutions. The images considered in this chapter are particular: Australian Aboriginal art. These art- works function on two levels, as an expression of Aboriginal law and, more extensively, as a critique of the imposed colonial law. Both in traditional and contemporary society, Aboriginal art is a powerful medium for expressing Aboriginal law and culture. Aboriginal art plays a special role in understanding law in a society that did not rely on the written text. In this context, the image has sacred standing quite distinct from the commodity status of art in contemporary capitalist societies. Art also provides an important material expression and critique of the colonizing process, both as an historical record of events such as massacres, segregation and the denial of civil and political rights, and as an ongoing contemporary postcolo- nial critique of the outcomes of colonization, dispossession and racial discrimina- tion. Aboriginal artists are constantly engaging colonialism, law and the criminal justice system as subject matter for their art.

(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.
