  • Masculine Caregivers in Australian Children's Fictions 1953-2001
    Chapter 3 Literary Reconfigurations of Masculinity I: Masculine caregivers in Australian children's fictions 1953-2001 'You're a failure as a parent, Joe Edwards!' Mavis Thorpe ClarkThe Min-Min (1966:185) It is easy to understand why men who grew up at a time when their fathers were automatically regarded as the head of the household and the breadwinner should feel rather threatened by the contemporary challenge to those central features of traditional masculine status ... Hugh Mackay Generations (1997:90) As cultural formations produced for young Australian readers, the children's fictions discussed in this chapter offer a diachronic study of literary processes employed to reconfigure schemas of adult masculinities.1 The pervasive interest in the transformation of Australian society's public gender order and its domestic gender regimes in the late twentieth century is reflected in children's fictions where reconfigurations of masculine subjectivities are represented with increasing narrative and discursive complexity. The interrogation of masculinity—specifically as fathering/caregiving—shifts in importance from a secondary level story in post-war realist fictions to the focus of the primary level story by the century's end. Thematically its significance changes too, from the reconfigurations of social relations in the domestic sphere that subverts the doxa of patriarchal legitimacy, to narratives that problematise masculinity in the public gender An earlier version of this chapter is published in Papers: Explorations into Children's Literature, 9: 1 (April 1999): 31-40. order. From the mid-1960s, feminist epistemologies provide the impetus for the first reconfiguration in the representations of fathering masculinities that challenges traditional patriarchy.

  • QUT Digital Repository
    QUT Digital Repository: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/ Muller, Vivienne (2008) Lost children and imaginary mothers in Sonya Hartnett's "Of a Boy". Hecate, 34(1). pp. 159-174. © Copyright 2008 please consult the author. Lost children and imaginary mothers in Sonya Harnett’s Of A Boy In Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva writes about lost children.1 These are what she calls ‘dejects’, 2 who, in the psychodrama of subject formation, fail to fully absent the body of the mother, to accept the Law of the Father and the Symbolic, and subsequently to establish ‘clear boundaries which constitute the object-world for normal subjects’.3 Dejects are ‘strays’ looking for a place to belong, a place that is bound up with the Imaginary mother of the pre-Oedipal period. Kristeva’s sketch of the deject as one who is unable to negotiate a proper path to the Symbolic is useful to a reading of Hartnett’s Of A Boy (2002)4, a novel that also deals with lost children and imaginary mothers. However in its portrayal of children who are doomed to never achieve adulthood, Of A Boy enacts a haunting retrieval of the pre-Oedipal from the dark side of phallocentric representation, privileging the semiotic (Kristeva’s concept) and the maternal as necessary disruptive checks on a patriarchal Symbolic Order. In reading the narrative in this way, this essay does not seek to foreclose on other interpretations which may more fully illuminate the material and historical contexts in which Hartnett’s stories of abandoned and lost mothers and children are activated.

  • The Development of Fantasy Illustration in Australian Children's Literature
    The University of Tasmania "THE SHADOW LINE BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY": THE DEVELOPMENT OF FANTASY ILLUSTRATION IN AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Degree for Master of Education. Centre of Education by Irene Theresa Gray University of Tasmania December 1985. Acknowledgments I wish to thank the following persons for assistance in the presentation of this dissertation: - Mr. Hugo McCann, Centre for Education, University of Tasmania for his encouragement, time, assistance and critical readership of this document. Mr. Peter Johnston, librarian and colleague who kindly spent time in the word processing and typing stage. Finally my husband, Andrew whose encouragement and support ensured its completion. (i) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to show that accompanying a development of book production and printing techniques in Australia, there has been a development in fantasy illustration in Australian children's literature. This study has identified the period of Australian Children's Book Awards between 1945 - 1983 as its focus, because it encompassed the most prolific growth of fantasy-inspired, illustrated literature in Australia and • world-wide. The work of each illustrator selected for study either in storybook or picture book, is examined in the light of theatrical and artistic codes, illustrative traditions such as illusion and decoration, in terms of the relationships between text and illustration and the view of childhood and child readership. This study. has also used overseas literature as "benchmarks" for the criteria in examining these Australian works. This study shows that there has been a development in the way illustrators have dealt with the landscape, flora and fauna, people, Aboriginal mythology and the evocation and portrayal of Secondary Worlds.
