Libby O'Donnell Book Design Awards Project Manager 0 < JUDGES ' REPORT The 51st Annual Book Design Awards have set new records in the number of entries and categories and presented the judges with a wonderful selection of titles and diverse design styles. In February 2003 a panel of six general judges and six specialist judges set about the interesting and challenging task of judging the 530 entries in the 51st awards to select the best-designed books published in Australia in 2002 across 23 ca tegories. The new categories added to this year's awards were - Best Designed Exhibition Catalogue or Book, Best Designed Non­ fiction (text) and Best Designed Non-fiction (illustrated). The Best Designed Exhibition Catalogue or Book was included as a distinct category as many of these books have struggled to find a niche in existing categories and because of the growth in publishing in this sector. To cope with the overwhelming number of entries in the non -fiction section, and the difficulty of comparing illustrated with non-illustrated books, the two new non-fiction categories emerged. In selecting titles, the judges considered how well the designer(s) satisfied their brief; they looked for imagination, originality, skill and flair; creativity in overcoming constraints inherent in the title and brief; and how legibility, format and organisation of text and illustration suited the functional requirements of the reader. Despite many excellent and well-executed designs, there was a general feeling among the judges that boundaries weren't being pushed and that a significant number of entries followed 'tried and tested' styles. The judges pondered whether this might be due to the current climate for book sales with sales and marketing departments wanting to play safe rather than risk new directions. The judges also observed that there was a reliance on stock photography to create the look, feel or atmosphere of a book rather than using colour, type, concept, space, composition to find new and original solutions. The judges recognise the many and varied challenges and constraints faced by designers, particularly time pressures , but they would like to encourage designers to challenge the boundaries and show publishing clients that a new approach can attract attention and actually generate sales. The judges would like to thank Joyce Thorpe Nicholson for allowing us the honour of naming the hall of fame after her. Joyce has been a dedicated supporter of Australian Book Design for more than 20 years and it is with pleasure that we announce the inaugural Joyce Thorpe Nicholson Design Hall of Fame. Congratulations and thanks to the designers and publishers for the many entries in this year's awards - the very finest of which are featured as finalists in this catalogue.

    JULY 2015 POPULAR SCIENCE / HEALTH Giulia Enders Gut translated by the inside story of our body’s most under-rated organ David Shaw The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works. In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and — let’s be honest — somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy.

  • A Cause for Animation: Harry Reade and the Cuban Revolution
    A cause for animation: Harry Reade and the Cuban Revolution Max Bannah This thesis is submitted in the Visual Arts Department, Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology, in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (Research), February 2007. Abstract This monographic study examines the life of the Australian artist Harry Reade (1927­1998), and his largely overlooked contribution to animation within historical, social, political and cultural contexts of his time. The project constitutes a biography of Reade, tracing his life from his birth in 1927 through to his period of involvement with animation between 1956 and 1969. The biography examines the forces that shaped Reade and the ways in which he tried to shape his world through the medium of animation. It chronicles his experiences as a child living in impoverished conditions during the Great Depression, his early working life, the influence of left wing ideology on his creative development, and his contribution to animation with the Waterside Workers’ Federation Film Unit, in Sydney. The study especially focuses on the period between 1961 and 1969 during which Reade supported the Cuban Revolution’s social and cultural reform process by writing and directing animated films at the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (Cuban Institute of the Art and Industry of Cinema – ICAIC), in Havana. The thesis argues that Reade played a significant role in the development of Cuban animation during the early years of the Cuban Revolution. Further, his animated work in this cultural sphere was informed by a network of political alliances and social philosophies that were directly linked to his experiences and creative development in Australia.

Censorship and the Political Cartoonist Dr Haydon Manning School of Political and International Studies, Flinders University and Dr Robert Phiddian Department of English, Flinders University Refereed paper presented to the Australasian Political Studies Association Conference University of Adelaide 29 September – 1 October 2004 Manning & Phiddian: Censorship and the Political Cartoonist Abstract Cartoonist with the New Zealand Herald, Malcolm Evans, was dismissed from the paper after he refused to follow his editor’s instruction to cease cartooning on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Members of the Jewish community were upset by a number of his cartoons, drawn during the first half of 2003. As an award winning editorial cartoonist Evans, observed in his defense, that his cartoons may offend but that their content was not necessarily wrong.1 Much like his brethren cartoonists, he guards fiercely his licence to mock politicians, governments and states. This paper examines the space within which cartoonists examine political subjects, analyses the Evans case, assesses the legal environment and the parameter within which mass circulation newspaper editors operate.

INTRODUCTION AND RECENT CURRENT EVENTS Few issues have spurred more vigorous debate among Australia's citizenry than Native Title and, more broadly, the roles of Native Australians.' Like most former colonial outposts, the settlement of the Australian continent was marked by nothing less than an invasion by a European power (Great Britain), which subsequently imposed its will on the Native Peoples living in its newly "discovered" lands. These peoples were viewed as largely uncivilized and in need of protection. Hundreds of years later the debate continues over how to reconcile the present with the past.

  • Literature Review
    The impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the mid to late 20th century A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Art Administration (Hons) within the School of Art History and Art Education, College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Fiona Hooton 1 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hooton First name: Fiona Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: School of Art History and Art Education Faculty:COFA Title: The impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the mid to late 20th century 2 Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis discusses the impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the late 20thcentury through the work of the Sydney Underground Film group, Ubu. This group, active between 1965 -1970, was a significant part of an underground counter culture, to which many young Australians subscribed. As a group, Ubu was more than a rat bag assemblage of University students. It was an antipodean aspect of an ongoing artistic and political movement that began with the European avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century and that radically transformed artistic conventions in theatre, painting, literature, photography and film. Three purposes underpin this thesis: firstly to track the art historical links between a European avant-garde heritage and Ubu. Experimental film is a genre that is informed by cross art form interrelations between theatre, painting, literature, photography and film and the major modernist aesthetic philosophies of the last century.

  • Cartoons for the Cause: Cartooning for Equality in Australia Marian Sawer
    Cartoons for the Cause: Cartooning for Equality in Australia Marian Sawer CARTOONS FOR THE CAUSE CARTOONING FOR EQUALITY IN AUSTRALIA by Marian Sawer In February 2000 I noticed an advertisement headed ‘Cartoonist needed’. This advertisement was placed by the Sex Discrimination Unit of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. They were seeking to commission cartoons for a new set of guidelines for employers on how to manage pregnancy in the workplace. This stimulated me to think how much government agencies in Australia in the last twenty years have relied on cartoonists to get their message across in a disarming but effective way. The use of cartoonists by government agencies with equity responsibilities seemed to be an interesting extension of the way graphic images have been used as part of the repertoire of social movements. The extent to which Australian social movements ‘look to the state’ has often been noted. In creating new government bodies, these movements have also imported some new forms of symbolic discourse into government communication. That process of importation is dealt with in the latter part of this paper. However, my first concern is to outline the way in which nineteenth-century cartooning was almost uniformly hostile to women’s rights, both in the United Kingdom and Australia and to show how themes common at that time continue in currency. I take as an example of this hostility the trope of the ‘man in the apron’, with us for over a hundred years. Suffragists themselves were regularly depicted in the English-speaking world as sharp-featured and short-sighted termagants.

  • Sbs Independent: Productive Diversity and Counter-Memory
    SBS INDEPENDENT: PRODUCTIVE DIVERSITY AND COUNTER-MEMORY Amanda Malel Trevisanut, BA (Hons) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Printed on archival quality paper ii iii ABSTRACT This thesis examines SBSi as cultural institution from its establishment in 1994 through to its merger with SBS-TV in 2007. As a cultural institution SBSi functioned governmentally to effect neo-liberal reform, significantly reshaping labour processes within the independent film and public service sectors. This thesis argues that SBSi carefully manoeuvred within this neo-liberal regime allowing non-assimilative cultural practices to manifest. Using a creative labour approach this thesis demonstrates how SBSi cultivated the resource of productive diversity to shape new creative labour practices, allowing new filmmaking milieux to form, and new counter-memorial filmmaking strategies to flourish. It analyses SBSi in relation to cultural policy developments, linking its activities as a commissioning house for SBS, to productive diversity; a State policy for harnessing the cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD) of Australian citizens as a national economic resource. Drawing on original interviews and archival sources it elaborates creative management processes developed by SBSi to foster productive diversity, and demonstrates how these shaped labour processes to inaugurate mentorship and early career opportunities for Indigenous, regional and CALD filmmakers. It also demonstrates how SBSi rejuvenated an ailing independent production sector by developing new niche audiences for innovative local content. Finally, this thesis adopts a critical race and whiteness approach to analyse the SBSi catalogue, and demonstrate how SBSi manoeuvred within a governmental logic to give rise to a new counter-memorial genre.
