  • John Curtin's War, Volume One: the Coming of War in The
    SPRING / SUMMER 2017 VOL 32.2 John Curtin’s War, Volume One: the coming of war in the Pacific and reinventing Australia by John Edwards. Penguin Viking, 2018, 538 pp, RRP $50.00. David Clune Honorary Associate in the Department of Government and International Relations, University of Sydney _________________________________________________________________________ When lists of Australia’s greatest Prime Ministers are compiled, John Curtin is invariably at or near the top. He is something of a sentimental favourite: the man who waged a continuous, painful struggle against his personal demons; the physically and temperamentally ill-equipped wartime leader who triumphed against expectations; the tragic hero who died on the eve of victory. There have been two previous biographies of Curtin, neither completely satisfactory. Lloyd Ross’ 1977 book was a welcome start, but no more than that - certainly not in the same class as LF Crisp’s Ben Chifley. In 1999, David Day published a lengthy biography of Curtin. Day is a capable historian and indefatigable researcher who falls down in one area: readability. He compulsively and indiscriminately piles up every fact he uncovers, ultimately to stultifying effect. On the evidence of John Edwards’ first volume, Curtin may have at last received the biography he deserves. Certainly, Edwards wins in the good read stakes. He is an elegant stylist, adept at providing context and personal detail without letting it take control of the narrative. It is easy to become absorbed in this book, effortlessly turning page after page. The axis Edwards uses to tell Curtin’s story is that of Australia’s role in the Second World War and the dramatic changes to national security and identity that ensued.

  • A Study of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Australian
    A Study of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Australian Aboriginal Art: Aboriginal Perspectives and Representations in State Art Galleries Vanessa Russ Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours), College of Fine Arts, UNSW This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts May 2013 i Vanessa Russ: Dissertation Abstract This study of the Art Gallery of New South Wales explores the role that Australian Aboriginal art has had in one important state institution. It also provides the groundwork for furthering our understanding of how state art galleries manage their discourses of Australian and Aboriginal identities. The search by Aboriginal people, for belonging and trust in national representations, continues to challenge state art galleries. If as art historian Amelia Jones suggests the notion of art, art history and art institutions are inventions, then such inventions should make room for new art and new art theory (Jones 23). While state art galleries are currently working to generate new displays of Australian art that include Australian Aboriginal art, there remains no complete study of how any state art gallery has managed its Aboriginal collections. This study of the role of Australian Aboriginal art within the Art Gallery of New South Wales provides evidence of personal advocacy as the driving force behind its achievements. Here personal advocacy and by extension, cultural subjectivity, is the key to the creation of an art gallery. ii Vanessa Russ: Dissertation Table of Content 1. Abstract page ii 2.

  • Wobblies of the World: a Global History of The
    WOBBLIES OF THE WORLD i Wildcat: Workers’ Movements and Global Capitalism Series Editors: Peter Alexander (University of Johannesburg) Immanuel Ness (City University of New York) Tim Pringle (SOAS, University of London) Malehoko Tshoaedi (University of Pretoria) Workers’ movements are a common and recurring feature in contemporary capitalism. The same militancy that inspired the mass labour movements of the twentieth century continues to define worker struggles that proliferate throughout the world today. For more than a century labour unions have mobilised to represent the political- economic interests of workers by uncovering the abuses of capitalism, establishing wage standards, improving oppressive working conditions, and bargaining with em- ployers and the state. Since the 1970s, organised labour has declined in size and influ- ence as the global power and influence of capital has expanded dramatically. The world over, existing unions are in a condition of fracture and turbulence in response to ne- oliberalism, financialisation, and the reappearance of rapacious forms of imperialism. New and modernised unions are adapting to conditions and creating class-conscious workers’ movement rooted in militancy and solidarity. Ironically, while the power of organised labour contracts, working-class militancy and resistance persists and is growing in the Global South. Wildcat publishes ambitious and innovative works on the history and political econ- omy of workers’ movements and is a forum for debate on pivotal movements and la- bour struggles. The series applies a broad definition of the labour movement to include workers in and out of unions, and seeks works that examine proletarianisation and class formation; mass production; gender, affective and reproductive labour; imperialism and workers; syndicalism and independent unions, and labour and Leftist social and political movements.

  • Chapter One the Prehistory of Australian Shopping Centres
    Chapter One The Prehistory of Australian Shopping Centres This chapter provides an historical background to the emergence of shopping centres in Sydney in the late 1950s and 1960s. It begins with a brief outline of nineteenth century European department stores, and their Australian counterparts. From here it turns to the development of early American shopping centres, tracing their evolution through to Victor Gruen’s Southdale centre in Edina, Minnesota. Gruen’s internalised design dominated modern shopping centre development. It was the model adopted in Australia where an American influence had been washing through in waves since the 1920s, as Australia slowly built its own consumer culture. The retail history surrounding, driving and responding to this culture is traced in the remainder of the chapter, paving the way for Chapter Two, which examines the construction of the first Sydney shopping centres. Department Stores, the bourgeoisie and the middle class Australian shopping centres evolved from home-grown retail, international trends and, through the twentieth century, innovative American business systems and architecture. Department stores and arcades had forbears and contemporaries in nineteenth century Europe where public space as a whole was under transformation. Buildings such as exhibition halls, museums, and railway stations offered new public arenas where the upper and middle classes might parade, exhibiting both their finery and their manners. Internalised retail sites – arcades, bazaars and emporiums – offered similar spaces for the socially mobile to see and be seen. Their grand architecture, viewing galleries and ornate skylights offered palatial luxury to the rising middle class that held growing economic power. Shopping for this clientele became a leisure activity built around the concept of fashion.
