  • Theory Time: on the History of Poststructuralism
    Theory Time: On the History of Poststructuralism Ian Hunter The 40th Annual Symposium of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, 19-20 November 2009. The Humanities in Australia: Taking Stock Introduction I would like to begin by thanking the Academy’s Council for the honour of presenting this lecture, and the Secretariat for their organisation of the symposium.1 It is a particular pleasure though to thank my colleague and friend of many years Mark Finnane, for his good work and good offices in the convening of such a timely and significant intellectual event. My topic — the intellectual history of post-1960s humanities theory, poststructuralism in particular — is one that comes with great promise and significant risk. The promise is to achieve some insight into a series of intellectual practices and contexts that had significant impact on the culture of the Western humanities academy during the second half of the twentieth century and up to the present. The risk is that there is little agreement about how to develop a historiography for poststructuralist theory, or even about whether one can be developed. This is to say nothing of the fact that in pursuing this task one must run the gauntlet between those whose love of poststructuralist theory makes its historicisation sacrilegious and those whose dislike of it makes it unworthy of historicisation. An invitation to speak on the history of humanities theory thus has something in common with an invitation to a post-concert party with the Rolling Stones: there is the enticement to discover something new and possibly forbidden; the challenge to stay the distance in a demanding milieu; and the risk that one will leave the event in worse shape than on arrival.

  • FRODSHAM, John David
    THE AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF THE HUMANITIES ANNUAL REPORT 2015–16 33 JOHN DAVID FRODSHAM 1930–2016 fellow · elected 1969 Before taking up a position at Murdoch University, where Frodsham was Professor of World Literature, I had looked up his publications in the University of Sydney’s Fisher Library. He had had a brief stint at Sydney in the Department of Oriental Studies before taking up a position as Lecturer in Far Eastern History at the University of Malaya. He returned to Australia in 1965 to a similar position at the University of Adelaide followed by his election to a Readership in Chinese at the Australian National University (ANU) in 1967. At Sydney I had been unimpressed by the narrow discipline- oriented interests of the English literature staff, their overbearing monolingualism and, needless to say, their Oxford pretentiousness. Against the latter, Frodsham, in my reading of him, stood out like an unusual beacon. He had already made it into Who’s Who and been elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities in 1969; his books had been published by Clarendon Press (the prestige imprimatur of Oxford University Press). I also read that he spoke some thirteen languages fluently. He interviewed me at a Circular Quay hotel, paid for the coffee and lunch on his American Express photo: courtesy of v. mishra Card, and offered me a three-year tutorship. There was nothing untoward nor indeed corrupt about this, as this ohn Frodsham, who was born on 5 January 1930 in was a professor’s right, a kind of gift, in the old system.

  • Poststructuralism in English Classrooms: Critical Literacy and After
    1 Poststructuralism in English classrooms: Critical literacy and after Bronwyn Mellor & Annette Patterson This paper was published in a slightly different form in: International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, Vol 17, No 1, p.85-102 (2004). Copyright 2004 Taylor & Francis 2 Poststructuralism in English classrooms: Critical literacy and after Abstract This paper explores the effects of poststructuralism on the work of two English teachers and writers of classroom texts. It traces aspects of their theoretical and practical engagement with poststructuralism from an initial acceptance of what appeared to promise the possibility of a truly critical practice through ideology critique to a stance that endeavours to include a consideration of the emergence of English pedagogy as well as theories about language and meaning. Current understandings of reading in English classrooms have moved away from the belief that the interpretation of literature is purely a matter of personal response. Instead, it has been argued during recent decades that reading is a socially, culturally and historically located practice. In part, this change is an inheritance from British Cultural Studies which, informed by political and cultural theory, influenced English in seemingly radical ways in the 1970’s and 80’s. During this period ‘theory’ – especially postructuralist theory – effected changes at every level of English teaching. Challenges to ideas about what constituted a student reader, a classroom text and an interpretation resulted in a re-formation of English in high schools. This re-formation included shifts in emphases away from the individual reader’s personal response to texts toward the idea of subject positioning through textual practices, a review of the concept of interpretation, a focus on the concept of multiple readings, a deconstruction of the opposition between 3 high culture and popular culture and an embracing of the concepts of text, textuality and intertextuality.

  • 20Th Anniversary Colloquium the Academy's Cultural
    20TH ANNIVERSARY COLLOQUIUM THE ACADEMY’S CULTURAL & COMMUNICATIONS SECTION Overview 9:30am—4:30pm Wednesday 14th November 2018 Social Sciences Building, A02, Lecture Theatre 200, Science Road, University of Sydney This Colloquium celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the Cultural and Communication Studies Section of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. That establishment was preceded by a campaign led by the late Professor Ken Ruthven, a key moment of which was a symposium on the topic ‘Beyond the Disciplines: The new humanities’ held in 1991. We revisit some of the key topics discussed in that symposium –the discipline of cultural studies, multiculturalism, cultural policy studies, feminist/gender studies, post-colonial/subaltern studies, and legal studies – and discuss how our disciplines have moved on since then. Our focus will be on the theoretical, political, and institutional challenges they have confronted, the changing contexts in which they have evolved, and the directions in which we think they are headed. Our presenters will include some of the founding members of the section, some newer members, and some young colleagues who do not as yet belong to the Academy. Convenors: Professor Tony Bennett FAcSS FAHA, Professor John Frow FAHA, Professor Elspeth Probyn FASSA FAHA and Associate Professor Chris Healy FAHA. We acknowledge and thank the University of Melbourne's School of Culture and Communication, the University of Sydney's Department of Media and Communications, and Western Sydney University'

  • Genre Worlds: the Discursive Shaping of Knowledge
    Arena Journal_No.23_2005.qxd 8/3/04 5:08 AM Page 129 Genre Worlds: The Discursive Shaping of Knowledge John Frow The thesis I want to argue in this article is a simple and in some ways rather formalistic one: that textual meaning is carried by formal structures more powerfully than by explicit thematic content; that what texts do and how they are structured have greater force than what they say they are about; and that genre — by which I mean merely the kinds of talking and writing, of imaging and of structured sound — is perhaps the most important of the structures by which texts are organized.1 Consider the following piece of writing, displayed recently for a few hours on hoardings in the streets of Edinburgh: RAPE CASE JUDGE IN NEW STORM This very transient and very simple text works with a number of ‘deep’ suppositions. It supposes a reader walking or driving in the 1. This an edited and extended version of the Marion Adams Lecture delivered at the University of Melbourne in 2004.

  • Theory& Cultural Studies
    csr 12.1-16 (180-201) 3/9/06 9:08 AM Page 181 an exchange on theory & cultural studies The following exchange grew out of a series of posts to the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia discussion list.1 As a talking point leading into a regular meeting for early career cultural studies researchers in Brisbane, Melissa Gregg, Jean Burgess and Joshua Green quoted a passage from Simon During’s recent Cultural Studies: A Critical Introduction (Routledge, 2005) in the hope of provoking a wider debate about the current state of Australian cul- tural studies. Various members of the list were duly provoked, and the ensuing discussion was later picked up in a paper by John Frow and continued in private correspondence and then in invited responses to the developing exchange. — Simon during, CULTURAL STUDIES: A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION (2005), p. 26, quoted in melissa gregg, jean burgess and joshua green, post to csaa list, 26 august 2005 Nowadays Australian cultural studies is increasingly normalised, concentrating on cultural policy studies and, often uncritically, on popular culture and the media. Indeed it is in Aus- tralia that the celebration of popular culture as a liberating force … first took off through Fiske and Hartley’ s contributions. The young populists of the seventies now hold senior posts and what was pathbreaking is becoming a norm. The readiness of a succession of Aus- tralian governments to encourage enterprise universities has empowered the old tertiary technical training departments in such areas as communications, allowing them to have an impact on more abstract and theorised cultural studies in ways that appear to have deprived the latter of critical force.

  • Saluting John Frow
    Cultural Studies Review volume 18 number 3 December 2012 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index p. 359 Katrina Schlunke 2012 Saluting John Frow KATRINA SCHLUNKE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY This issue of Cultural Studies Review is the final one I will co-edit with John Frow. It has been a pleasure to co-edit with John and it seemed fitting to offer a small intellectual salute to both his work and the engagement and reactions he inspires through the following article and responses. While this was understood as a small commemoration of John’s work as editor it also mimics in a more public way the endless (and often very productive) work of commenting upon, responding to and working with the work of our fellow thinkers that all in the larger Cultural Studies Review community do. What follows is a response to one small part of John’s writings but he is also an extraordinarily deft reader and that skill can be seen again and again in the pages of this journal. The capacity to read an article in its own terms, to place it properly with reviewers who will best engage with and improve a piece, requires a style of reading that is as much communitarian as critical. The result of that reading then flows on to a published article that is itself better able to be read and so the flow of concatenating readerships spreads. I would like to thank John for all our co-readings and for the time and attention he has given to the journal in all its guises from bank balances to illustrations.
