    The Founding of Aboriginal History and the Forming of Aboriginal History

    The founding of Aboriginal History and the forming of Aboriginal history Bain Attwood Nearly 40 years ago an important historical project was launched at The Australian National University (ANU). It came to be called Aboriginal history. It was the name of both a periodical and a historiographical movement. In this article I seek to provide a comprehensive account of the founding of the former and to trace something of the formation of the latter.1 Aboriginal history first began to be formed in the closing months of 1975 when a small group of historically-minded white scholars at ANU agreed to found what they described as a journal of Aboriginal History. At that time, the term, let alone the concept of Aboriginal history, was a novel one. The planners of this academic journal seem to have been among the first to use the phrase in its discursive sense when they suggested that it ‘should serve as a publications outlet in the field of Aboriginal history’.2 Significantly, the term was adopted in the public realm at much the same time. The reports of the Committee of Inquiry on Museums and National Collections (the Pigott Report) and the Planning Committee on the Gallery of Aboriginal Australia, which were the outcome of an inquiry commissioned by the Whitlam Labor Government in order to articulate and give expression to a new Australian nationalism by championing a past that was indigenous to the Australian continent, both used the term.3 As 1 I wish to thank Niel Gunson, Bob Reece and James Urry for allowing me to view some of their personal

    European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960

    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

    Notes on Contributors Notes on Contributors Chris Adler lives in Elvina Bay, an off-shore community iust outside Sydney. She was born in Mill Valley, California and moved to Australia in 1994 to study at the University of Wollongong. She has been writing poems since she was a child as a way of capturing life on the page, similar to a photo or painting. She has had poems published in Australian Women's Book Review, The West Pitt.'ater Perspective, POETALK (Berkeley, California) and others. Jordie Albiston was born in Melbourne in 1961. Her first poetry collection Nervous Arcs (Spinifex 1995) won first prize in the Mary Gilmore Award, second in the Anne Elder Award, and was shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Award. Her second book was entitled Botany Bay Document: A Poetic History of the Women of Botany Bay (Black Pepper 1996). Her most recent collection, The Hanging of Jean Lee (Black Pepper 1998), explores the life and death of the last woman hanged in Australian in 1951. Jordie was recipient of the Dinny O'Hearn Memorial Fellowship in 1997. She holds a PhD in literature and has two teenage children. Lucy Alexander grew up in a family of English teachers, with too many books in their lives. As a result she began to write from an early age. It seemed like the only alternative to teaching. She was encouraged in her endeavours by becoming a finalist in the Sydney Morning Herald Young Writer of the Year Award in 1992. At the end of her university degree she was published by Five Island Press in Fathoms a collection of the poetry of three student writers.

  • The Drunken Buddha

    The Drunken Buddha

    Ian Fairweather: The Drunken Buddha 1 The Drunken Buddha, Ian Fairweather’s illustrated translation of a popular Chinese tale, published by University of Queensland Press (UQP) in 1965, is a rare example of a serious book-length translation from Chinese to English by an established artist. It is one of a number of translations from Chinese undertaken by Fairweather, evidence of an unusual pastime that arose from his fascination with the Chinese language. For Fairweather the publication of The Drunken Buddha was the culmination of years of work and making up for various frustrated earlier efforts to see it into print. The book was greeted by critics as a curiosity, something to add to the list of bizarre events associated with the life of the Scottish-born artist who since 1953 had lived on his own terms in a self-made hut on Bribie Island and in 1962 was declared ‘Australia’s greatest living artist.’1 Writing in 1995, Sinologist Pierre Ryckmans [Simon Leys] lamented that what should be regarded as one of UQP’s ‘proudest productions’ had been long out of print and questioned why no-one had ever asked Fairweather, while he was alive, what had motivated him to do it. ‘No sensitive and reflective artist can approach China without being profoundly affected by that experience. Fairweather’ he wrote, ‘ was certainly no exception to this rule and, for all his reticence and elusiveness, he left convincing evidence that China played an important role in his artistic and spiritual development.’2 Twenty years later, in 2015, a 50th anniversary edition of The Drunken Buddha was published by UQP to celebrate ‘Fairweather’s creative legacy.

The poem, entitled The Silence Inside the World, tells the story of four characters, an albino woman in a coma, an immortal wizard, a dead painter, and an unborn soul, as they strive to comprehend the bizarre, dream-like realm in which they find themselves.

    Helen Garner's Monkey Grip and Its Feminist Contexts

    CHAPTER 8 ‘Unmistakably a book by a feminist’: Helen Garner’s Monkey Grip and its feminist contexts Zora Simic Helen Garner has written a book called ‘Monkey Grip’, about a woman called Nora who falls in love, passionately and most unwisely with a junkie. Hardly a ‘liberated plot’. Yet this is unmistakably a book by a feminist. Sue King, Vashti, 1978 For Sue King, writing in Vashti, the journal of Melbourne Women’s Liberation, Helen Garner’s book Monkey Grip (1977)—like some other critics, she stopped short of calling it a novel—was clearly a feminist read. Nora, she observed, is ‘not overtly “political” in the sense of working for political change on the macro level, or even consistently working out the politics of everything that happens to her’. Nor can she, as a denizen of a ‘rather strange sub-culture’ be properly described as an ‘everywoman’. Yet for King, Nora was also ‘clearly recognisable as a woman whose central identity is her own’. ‘It’s just so nice’, she enthused, ‘to read a story where no one is married or wants to be; where people may on occasion be jealous or dependent, yet feel no entitlement to do so’. King devoured the book in 24 hours, but while her review came with a strong personal recommendation, she did wonder whether anyone beyond ‘an arty little sub group’ would relate to it. She concluded on a note of uncertainty: ‘is this something we have to pass through on the way to … ?’1 1 Sue King, ‘Monkey Grip’, Vashti, no.
