Catherine Martin Thesis Revised Metaphors of Migration A critical discourse analysis of the intersections between immigration, race and the nation in Australian press reports (1854–2018) Catherine Ann Martin BA (Hons), Goldsmiths College MA, School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Western Australia School of Social Sciences Anthropology and Sociology 2020 Thesis Declaration I, Catherine Ann Martin, certify that: This thesis has been substantially accomplished during enrolment in this degree.

Signature: Date: 16th October 2020 iii Abstract This thesis argues that certain metaphoric tropes of racial Otherness have persistently been used to racialise immigrants as essentially exterior and threatening to the nation. Furthermore, that this construction of immigrant Otherness is, and historically has been, foundational to ethno-nationalist discourses of Australian national identity. Whether as invasions, floods or swarms, the metaphoric construction of racialised immigrant out- groups has consistently been utilized to naturalise and legitimate an Anglo-white national in-group. To understand these processes of deviant racial Other and national racial Self formation, this thesis offers a diachronic study of metaphors used within the Australian press (1854 to 2018) to frame immigration to Australia, focusing on the press as a key discursive mechanism for the construction of national attitudes and identity. Recognising metaphor as underpinning how perceptions of the world are shaped (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980), and drawing on over 12,000 instances of metaphor in over 3000 press reports, from 3 major daily newspapers, the thesis takes a Critical Discourse Analysis approach to qualitatively examine the metaphors used to construct both immigrants and the nation. The scale of the research, encompassing substantial social, economic and political changes, necessitated a historically specific focus to the analysis. During the Pre- Federation period (1854-1900), the intersections between the arrival of Chinese immigrants and settler colonial discourses of belonging (Wolfe, 2006, 2013), and the development of racialised categorisations are examined. I argue that the construction of racial difference through the displacement of deviance from marginal whites onto Chinese immigrants was foundational to the archetypal egalitarian white Australian national ideal and its corollary, the non-white immigrant Other. Analysis of the White Australia period (1901-1971) utilises Bourdieu’s concepts of symbolic violence v (Bourdieu, 1990, 1991) within the context of emergent discourses of whiteness. I examine how Anglo-centred ethno-nationalist understandings of national belonging were (re)created through metaphors which constructed deviant immigrant out-groups antithetically to a normative white national in-group. Examination of the Multicultural Australia period (1972-2018) focuses on the resurgence of metaphors structuring racial otherness in the construction of immigration, combining Bourdieu’s concept of habitus with Hage’s framing of whiteness as a field of national power. I explore how certain persistent metaphors (re)produce a habitus that recognises the centrality of whiteness to the Australian national Self, thereby rendering non-white Australians peripheral within the national imaginary. The thesis demonstrates the remarkable consistency over the last 165 years in the ways groups of immigrants have been racialised through metaphor. This consistency illustrates how the use of specific negatively structured metaphors creates inter-textual links with preceding discourses of immigrant inferiority, threat and deviance, texturing a racialised logic of equivalence between groups framed as ‘undesirable’. Furthermore, it demonstrates that negative immigration metaphors function alongside metaphors that construct the nation to frame ethno-nationalist discourses of belonging, with the immigrant invasion of the Australian national house continuing to resonate into the present. Together these metaphors help to structure narratives about immigrant Others and the Australian national Self. The ongoing salience of such metaphors underscores the crucial need to understand how these tools produce and reproduce exclusionary ethno- nationalist narratives of Australian identity which continue to permeate contemporary public discourse. vi Table of Contents THESIS DECLARATION .........................................................................................................................................

  • Devotion, Daring and Sense of Destiny: Surveyors of the Early Commonwealth
    Devotion, Daring and Sense of Destiny: David Headon ∗ Surveyors of the Early Commonwealth During the decade that preceded Federation, the Australian colonies entertained a number of visiting dignitaries and international celebrities curious about the former British convict gulag that had so spectacularly reversed its grim early fortunes. None of the visitors was as popular as the American writer and humourist Samuel Clemens—Mark Twain. In Australia on a world-wide lecturing tour in 1895 because of some ill-chosen investments, Twain took an avid interest in Australian culture and history. In the publication of his travels that followed soon after his southern sojourn, Following the Equator (1897), he observed with characteristic flair: Australian history is almost always picturesque; indeed, it is so curious and strange, that it is itself the chiefest novelty the country has to offer, and so it pushes the other novelties into second and third place. It does not read like history, but like the most beautiful lies. And all of a fresh new sort, no mouldy old stale ones. It is full of surprises, and adventures, and incongruities, and contradictions, and incredibilities; but they are all true, they all happened.1 When the many Australians who read Following the Equator over the next one hundred years read this paragraph, they must surely have reflected, with satisfaction and not a little pride, on a succession of historical milestones: the transformational Lachlan Macquarie years, for example; the opening up of the interior; John McDouall Stuart’s epic explorer quest; Lola Montez defiantly horse-whipping a critical newspaper editor in booming gold-rush Ballarat; Eureka; the world firsts of the Australian labour movement; the sporting achievements of the cricketers, the rowers, Archer and Carbine; the Australian Constitution story; Federation itself; Gallipoli; and Kokoda, to name a sample.

Compiled by Order of the St. Kilda City Council by JOHN BUTLER COOPER " Aut scribenda agere, aut legenda scribere." " To do what is inset to be recorded, or to write what is worthy to be read." [Inscription taken from the monument of John Stow, London's 16th Century Historian and Topographer] Registered under the Commonwealth Copyright Act, 1912 Melbourne: PRINTERS PROPRIETARY LIMITED 27 LITTLE BOURKE STREET 1931 PREFACE I thank the Councillors of the City of St. Kilda for conferring upon me the distinguished honor of the appointment of Official Historian of the City of St. Kilda. I hope that my work will be considered by them of such merit as to justify their choice of myself for such an important commission. I am indebted to the Town Clerk, Mr. F. W. Chamberlin, for submitting to me old records of St. Kilda that he has, from time to time, patiently collected, and thoughtfully husbanded for historical purposes. In other ways Mr. Chamberlin has given to me generous assistance; and also inspiriting encouragement, in my attempt to complete the difficult task of writing the history, in such a way, as to be worthy of the city. I have endeavored to make, in the text, adequate acknowledgment of any source of important local information that I have happily tapped. Throughout the work I have indicated when it is a surmise I am projecting, so that the reader may not accept a surmise as face value for a fact, and so be misled.
