Dissertation presented to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Glasgow in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow March 1996 Page 2 Abstract Academic work on Aboriginality in popular media has, understandably, been largely written in defensive registers. Aware of horrendous histories of Aboriginal murder, dispossession and pitying understanding at the hands of settlers, writers are worried about the effects of raced representation; and are always concerned to identify those texts which might be labelled racist. In order to make such a search meaningful, though, it is necessary to take as axiomatic certain propositions about the functioning of films: that they 'mean' in particular and stable ways, for example; and that sophisticated reading strategies can fully account for the possible ways a film interacts with audiences.

  • Networked Knowledge Media Briefing Rupert Max Stuart Homepage This
    Networked Knowledge Media Briefing Rupert Max Stuart Homepage This page setup by Dr Robert N Moles Black And White Review / Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton Comments by Margaret Pomeranz In 1959 an aboriginal man Max Stuart was arrested for the rape and murder of a young girl on the beach at Ceduna South Australia. His trial and subsequent appeals became a cause celebre... it was never a case of black and white... When lawyer David O'Sullivan (Robert Carlyle) is assigned to defend Max Stuart (David Ngoombujarra), he has no idea that his involvement will lead him on a collision course with the police and with the justice system. He learns that Max's confession has been beaten out of him, that his confession is one he could not possibly have made, this with the help of Father Tom Dixon (Colin Friels). But the entrenched racism of the times makes Max's conviction a foregone conclusion, particularly with that bastion of the establishment, Crown Solicitor Roderic Chamberlain (Charles Dance) leading the case for the prosecution. O'Sullivan's refusal to accept the verdict, his desperate search for a basis for appeal will not only involve his law partner Helen Devaney (Kerry Fox) and the young Rupert Murdoch (Ben Mendelsohn) and Rohan Rivett (John Gregg), the editor of the Adelaide Advertiser, but will take him on a journey to the highest court in the system – the Privy Council in England. Black and White explores this fascinating and seminal piece of Australian history in a rather old-fashioned way. Dialogue is delivered in a declamatory style that just seems clunky, giving scenes a distinct lack of credibility.

    Published in Storytelling: Critical and Creative Approaches ed. Jan Shaw, Philippa Kelly, L. E. Semler (Basingstoke: Palgrave, 2013), pp. 83-113. Transnational Glamour, National Allure: Community, Change and Cliché in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia. Meaghan Morris What are the links between stories and the wider social world—the contextual conditions for stories to be told and for stories to be received? What brings people to give voice to a story at a particular historical moment? … and as the historical moment shifts, what stories may lose their significance and what stories may gain in tellability? (Plummer 25). The vantage points from which we customarily view the world are, as William James puts it, ‘fringed forever by a more’ that outstrips and outruns them (Jackson 23-24). Poetry from the future interrupts the habitual formation of bodies, and it is an index of a time to come in which what today exists potently—even if not (yet) effectively— but escapes us will find its time. (Keeling, ‘Looking for M—’ 567) 1 The first time I saw Baz Luhrmann’s Australia I laughed till I cried. To be exact, I cried laughing at dinner after watching the film with a group of old friends at an inner suburban cinema in Sydney. During the screening itself I laughed and I cried. As so often in the movies, our laughter was public and my tears were private, left to dry on my face lest the dabbing of a tissue or an audible gulp should give my emotion away. The theatre was packed that night with a raucously critical audience groaning at the dialogue, hooting at moments of high melodrama (especially Jack Thompson’s convulsive death by stampeding cattle) and cracking jokes at travesties of history perceived on screen.

Heartland is a thirteen episode, fifteen hour miniseries starring Aboriginal actor Ernie Dingo. It was produced by and broadcast on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1994. Ross Warneke in the daily Melbourne newspaper the Age, headlines his review of the series ‘Worthy “Heartland” must also be good television’. He goes on to worry that the program is likely to be too ‘worthy’ and informed by ‘political correctness’. ‘This is an important and worthy series. Not before time, it puts Aborigines and some elements of their culture at centre stage …’1. A similar approach is taken by Sue Turnbull and Rick Thompson in their review, where they suggest that they tried to force themselves to watch the program, but gave up and (guiltily) watched an American show on another channel2. Both of these articles place Heartland within a strong tradition of television programs and films representing indigeneity in Australia. Such texts are often seen to be worthy, serious, important; they demand spectatorship which is committed, socially aware and dutiful. They are not about entertainment or pleasure. Aboriginal representation in Australia – indeed, Aboriginality in the public sphere more generally – is often offered for consumption in such a way.

  • 'Whose City/Whose Fremantle?' Reconceptualising Space for an Open Politics of Place
    Faculty of Humanities School of Social Sciences and Asian Languages ‘Whose City/Whose Fremantle?’ Reconceptualising Space for an Open Politics of Place Shaphan Leon Cox This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University October 2012 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... ii Abstract The notion of space being eroded by time underpins the dominant formulations of globalisation premised on time-space compression. The consequences have included the announcement of the ‘end of geography’. More recently, a spatial turn has repositioned the concept of space at the forefront of Human Geography. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the ongoing theoretical reconceptualisation of space with an empirical study of the contested port city of Fremantle. Set within the broader metropolitan area of Western Australia’s capital city, Perth, Fremantle is simultaneously constructed by local and external actors as a ‘city under threat’ and as a ‘city in decline’. It is the dominant port city of Western Australia and differs in many ways, historically, physically, culturally and economically from its modern, suburban surrounds. Using the question ‘whose city’ in my interactions and observations within Fremantle, I began to see contestations for space emerging. This thesis explores four controversies pertinent to the ongoing battles to define (the meaning of spaces within) Fremantle.

  • Reality and Race in Australian Film Reviewing Alan Mckee
    Reality and race in AustralianAustralian Studies film in Journalismreviewing 8: 1999, pp.139-157 139 Accentuate the negative: reality and race in Australian film reviewing Alan McKee This article examines the ways in which Australian newspaper film reviewers interpret cinematic representations of Aboriginality. It points out that reviewers use the language of realism in order to insist that the reality of indigenous life in Australia is one of suffering and disempowerment, refusing alternative understandings of indigenous culture and survival. Alternative representations of indigenous reality are considered, and the importance of this question for indigenous/non-indigenous relations in Australia is addressed. he Fringe Dwellers (Bruce Beresford 1986) is an Australian film Twhich follows the fortunes of one Aboriginal family the Comeaways and in particular of their teenage daughter (Kristina Nehm). The film which is a mixture of comedy, social issues and moments of horror includes her unwanted pregnancy, and the death of her baby, before she finally leaves the community where she grew up. Evan Williams, reviewing The Fringe Dwellers, compares it unfavourably with an earlier film, Wrong Side of the Road (Ned Lander 1985). His dissatisfaction with the former comes from its failure to live up to the standards set by the latter. The earlier piece was, he states: . as rough as a smokers throat after an all-night party. It was a scruffy little piece, loosely scripted, acted mainly by amateurs and shot in black and white. But from first to last, it quivered with truth. It was full of raw anger and pain . [and] uncompromising realism. The Aboriginal characters 140 Australian Studies in Journalism were not the smiling, quaintly picturesque and happy-go-lucky folk we might prefer them to be, but miserable battlers, petty crims, boozers, unemployed drifters pathetic victims of a white mans society (Williams 1986).
