There were some nine hundred entries, and entries were read under their pseudonyms by at least four readers. The final selection of entries for pUblication involved extensive re-reading and discussion. Quite early one factor emerged, and that was the diffi­ culty of deciding on a single entry in each class as being in some absolute sense better than others. The variety of form and topic in the short story was clear, though even more experiment here would have been welcomed by the editorial committee, and variety of style, form, and subject was also evident in the poetry. The editorial committee felt that a more realistic, and fairer, approach to the final selection (from much valuable writing) was to divide the awards so that as far as possible acknowledgement was paid to the kind of variety offered. From this point of view we have made the awards that are published here. We have included, in this issue, the work of all those involved in this final consideration, and would like to congratulate all these writers. Westerly is grateful to the Arts and Entertainment Committee of the Western Australia 150th Anniversary Celebrations 1979, who have made possible these awards, and this issue of the magazine. WESTERLY, No. 2, JULY, 1979 5 AWARDS FOR SHORT STORIES BY WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WRITERS: to Wendy Jenkins for her story 'Uneasy Rider' and Terry Tredrea for 'True Grist' 6 WESTERLY, No.2. JULY. 1979 WENDY JENKINS Uneasy Rider I only took the controls of a motorbike once, and slammed my easy riding foot into a post. The bruise turned yellow slowly, then faded out. So did I in a way. It depends how you look at it. That's the start of this essay I'm writing for mature age english. It's a lot different from the usual we get set but there was a real stir in the last dis­ cussion period. We'd been talking about The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, which is about how a kid gets his own back on corrupt authority. It was pretty boring until someone started on about whether the kid should have run through the finishing line or not. That wasn't really the point but it got everyone going. I found myself sided with this old guy saying that the kid just standing there didn't prove much. A couple of girls got really stirred and then one of them said: "Oh. What are you doing here anyway. You're just a reactionary tool of authority." Really. Just like that. "You're a reactionary tool of authority", like that was all she needed to say. End of argument. That really got me. I mean, it's not just that easy. It's really not. The way some of these radical types lay it on you really shits me. The teacher didn't say too much at the time but we got set the essay I was telling you about: "Write a first person narrative account of the maturational process in an adolescent." I'm really getting onto this essay. I keep going over the start and making up other bits in my head. It's going to be sort of built around the Easy Rider film and what it seemed to mean to people when it first came out. That's why I've got the bike in the first bit. I'm going to try and keep referring back to that as a kind of connecting thing-that and the film. And I'm going to put in what happened with me and Barry but with different names. I was just 17 when I first started going out with Barry. I think I'd just left school then. I chucked it about half way through fifth year and got this job working behind the counter at Hungry Jacks. You know, the one that changes your order from chips to french fries and says into the mike in a P.R. voice, "Two whoppers, two french fries, two strawberries please." I didn't like it much. You had to stand all the time and put up with all of the idiots. There was always someone who decided they didn't want mayonnaise after their order had been made up, or reckon they'd ordered a chocolate shake when you know they said strawberry. And there was always some creep that had to sing the advert at you as if it would make your day. WESTERLY, No.2, JULY, 1979 7 Anyway, after all the morons Barry looked pretty good. He used to come in Saturday with some of his friends, and he'd order a whopper with double cheese, hold the mayonnaise, like he'd been doing it all his life. I didn't have to change a thing or ask a question. And I liked the way he looked-long dark hair, tight jeans and a black leather jacket with red wings on it. Sort of classic Grease without the Brylcream. The whole thing sounds stupid now. It was like that Kentucky Fried ad that used to be on. You know the one where this super cool slicked down bikie comes into the Colonel's for a snackpack or something, and leaves with this really good looking bird on the back of his bike. But I never said more than, "What would you like?" and he never left with anything except a whopper. We probably never would have got past hold the mayonnaise, if I didn't meet him at Leo's. I was there with my friend Dianne and saw him across the room. He was talking to a girl with his face about three inches from hers because they were sitting really close to the band. I thought about walking past like I was really going somewhere, and if he saw me, smile and say casually, "Oh hi.

  • (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

  • Book History in Australia Since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1
    Book History in Australia since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1, Oxford History of the Novel in English: The Novel in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the South Pacific since 1950. Edited by Coral Howells, Paul Sharrad and Gerry Turcotte. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. Publication of Australian novels and discussion of this phenomenon have long been sites for the expression of wider tensions between national identity and overseas influence characteristic of postcolonial societies. Australian novel publishing since 1950 can be roughly divided into three periods, characterized by the specific, and changing, relationship between national and non-national influences. In the first, the 1950s and 1960s, British companies dominated the publication of Australian novels, and publishing decisions were predominantly made overseas. Yet a local industry also emerged, driven by often contradictory impulses of national sentiment, and demand for American-style pulp fiction. In the second period, the 1970s and 1980s, cultural nationalist policies and broad social changes supported the growth of a vibrant local publishing industry. At the same time, the significant economic and logistical challenges of local publishing led to closures and mergers, and—along with the increasing globalization of publishing—enabled the entry of large, multinational enterprises into the market. This latter trend, and the processes of globalization and deregulation, continued in the final period, since the 1990s. Nevertheless, these decades have also witnessed the ongoing development and consolidation of local publishing of Australian novels— including in new forms of e-publishing and self-publishing—as well as continued government and social support for this activity, and for Australian literature more broadly.

  • A Study of How German Publishers Have Imagined Their Readers of Australian Literature
    Australia and Its German-Speaking Readers: A Study of How German Publishers Have Imagined Their Readers of Australian Literature OLIVER HAAG Austrian Research Centre for Transcultural Studies, Vienna Australian literature is marketed not only to a national audience but also to an overseas readership, who consume it both in English and in various languages of translation, of which German seems to be the most common.1 The publication of translated Australian books thus undergoes marketing processes similar to those in Australia. One of the most immediate publishing mechanisms is the physical appearance of a book, or what Gerard Genette terms the ‘publisher’s peritexts’ (16); that is, the texts that ‘surround’ the actual text, such as book covers. Dust jackets in particular establish the first act of engagement between an author—or more properly, the author’s words—and his or her prospective readers: ‘Your potential reader will form an impression of your book while looking at the cover—before they even decide to look inside’ (Masterson 161). Thus, in making a particular book palatable for a prospective readership, publishers2 shape the story with a vision of the reader in mind: first, they advertise the text through its cover illustration and blurb, both of which usually reflect and summarise the content; secondly, in so doing, publishers develop an image of prospective readers. They evaluate readers’ tastes and assess their target readers, including their age, level of education, and gender; then, based on such assessments, they develop strategies for marketing a book to this particular group of intended readers. Furthermore, Genette argues that such practices are ‘made up of a heterogeneous group of practices and discourses of all kinds and dating from all periods’ (2).

Often integrates imagery and thick description to this end. a rhetorical mode involving the construction and relation of stories. narration Typically integrates description as a technique. a rhetorical gesture by which an author looks back, through the diegetic gap, to demonstrate knowledge or understanding gained from the subject on which they are reflecting. May also include consideration of reflection the impact of that past subject on the author’s future—“Looking back in order to look forward.” the circumstances in which rhetoric is produced, understood using the constituent elements of subject, occasion, audience, and purpose. Each element of the rhetorical situation carries assumptions and imperatives rhetorical situation about the kind of rhetoric that will be well received. Rhetorical situation will also influence mode and medium. Storytelling is one of few rituals that permeates all cultures. Indeed, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a well-told story. But what exactly makes for a well-told story? Of course, the answer to that question depends on your rhetorical situation: your audience, your sociohistorical position, and your purpose will determine how you tell your story.

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.
