2012 Catalogue A yeAr of books by QueenslAnd writers 2012 BOOKS FROM OUR BACKYARD 2012 Queensland Writers Centre (QWC) invites you to curl up with a good book by a Queensland Author. At QWC, we strive to enable more Australian writers to have sustainable careers, and to be read and enjoyed throughout the world. Our free, annual catalogue Books from our Backyard is one of the many ways in which we work towards achieving this goal. QWC is thrilled to give you Books from our Backyard 2012, which contains 178 books published by Queensland authors in 2012, across a variety of categories and genres. In conjunction with this initiative, we produce stickers that bookshops and libraries may put on books to help promote Queensland Authors, and create an exhibition of the books each year at the State Library of Queensland. Arts Queensland’s Map of the Writing Sector notes that “Queensland is Australia’s most decentralised state…, and so geographical diversity also has a strong influence on our cultural landscape.” The unique voices arising from the many and varied regions of Queensland – from the Cape to the border, from the coast to the bush – make a vital contribution to Australian literature. As Chair of QWC, I encourage you to browse this catalogue of stories emanating from this great state, and keep an eye out for the Queensland Author sticker at your local library or bookshop.

    Germany, offers much to admire. Apart from the many historical mon- uments, the bookshops alone - the range of titles they carry, the service they provide if what one wants is out of stock - are enough to drive one crazy. As a holiday-maker, however, as a visitor whose stay cannot be long, one is apt, in the excitement of exploration and discovery, or in rushing to the theatre or to this or that concert, to imagine cultural opportunities necessarily mean more here than at home. The fact, that one is experiencing the culture through the medium of a language acquired by study, inclines one to be impressed, easily pleased and optimistic. One tends, maybe, to construct and preserve in one's mind an image of city and society as charming and misleading as the Budden- brook facade. But what, one might ask, do the history and traditions of Luebeck mean to her stevedores, for example? How many teenagers in the city know who Thomas Mann was, or could truthfully say they read even one of his stories? And what of poetry, so little regarded in Australia, the concern, outside classroom and lecture theatre, seemingly of poets and pretenders only? Does it really engage more of the public's time and intelligence in North Germany than in North Queensland? The brevity of my stop-over in Luebeck does not permit me to answer such questions with authority. I can only report that on December 12, 1985, in the Zentrum on the corner of the Mengstrasse and An der Untertrave, a fascinating, totally committed performance of "Lyrisches Koerpertheater" was loudly applauded by an enthusiastic audience of ten.

  • Multicultural Literature in Australia
    Coolabah, Nr 26, 2019, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians i Transnacionals / Observatory: Australian and Transnational Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona A Look Back in Doubt “Confessions of a Heretic”: Multicultural Literature in Australia Manfred Jurgensen Copyright© 2019 Manfred Jurgensen. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged, in accordance with our Creative Commons Licence. Abstract. It is argued that the emergence of ‘multiculturalism’ in Australia during the Nineteen-eighties was almost entirely determined by political considerations. An application of the concept to literary culture was not anticipated. Nor was there a discourse of migrant or ethnic literature before post-war immigration. As part of the Australia Council’s decision to sponsor a literary culture of ‘New Australians’ it encouraged the creation of a journal for multicultural literature, Outrider. This article is an attempt to characterise a group of perceived ‚multicultural writers’ by raising doubt about their real or assumed status. It is true they employ highly individual creative imagination and variations of literary style by questioning the nature of migration (often without being migrants themselves). However, such writing is hardly unique to inherent characteristics of ‚multicultural aesthetics’. Formally and thematically these authors’ language frequently employs a wide range of elective affinities, alienation techniques or correlative analogies. They can hardly be considered ‚minority writers’ of limited literary genius. In truth they are creators of sophisticated poetry and prose by overcoming (or ‘integrating’) foreign language restriction. To them migration is not merely a subject or theme: it is a consciousness manifesting itself in literary form and style.
