  • Of Witches and Monsters, the Filth and the Fury: Two Australian Women's
    1 Of Witches and Monsters, the Filth and the Fury: Two Australian Women’s Post-Punk Autobiographies MARGARET HENDERSON University of Queensland The last few years have seen an upsurge in punk and post-punk memoirs and autobiographies by musicians, in Australia and internationally, both women and men (Mark E. Smith, Morrissey, Viv Albertine, Tex Perkins, Kim Gordon, Steve Kilbey, to name just a few). Memoir and autobiography are thus contributing to the heightened visibility of the 1970s cultural movement of punk and its immediate aftermath, which has been a particular focus of academic study and of the broader processes of social memory, as in film, popular histories, documentaries, and oral histories. Such a retrospective turn is somewhat ironic considering punk’s resolute anti-nostalgia and creed of no future, but also testament to punk’s enduring influence as a repository of cultural and political hope, and the aging of a cohort. We are, then, in a time where the historical record of punk and post-punk is taking shape. Most academic studies to date of punk and post-punk have been sociological (Hebdige), aesthetic (Ensminger), ethnographic (Hannerz), musicological (Dale), historical (Savage), or cultural studies-oriented accounts (Marcus), and importantly, there have been interventions made by feminist scholars that examine women’s and girls’ participation (Reddington, Leblanc, and Leonard, most notably). Being a music-centred culture, punk and post-punk’s literary dimension is, understandably, a minor but productive focus,1 and these studies capture the visual, the aural, the abrasive anti-establishment ethos of punk. Yet, with the recent emergence of memoir and autobiography, the culture is retrospectively gaining a literary identity, one that, by virtue of the significant (though small) presence of women authors, is also a gendered identity.

  • NEWS RELEASE NATIONAL FESTIVAL of UKRAINIAN AUSTRALIANS to BE HELD in SYDNEY – EXTENDING HAND of MULTICULTURAL MATESHIP On
    NEWS RELEASE NATIONAL FESTIVAL OF UKRAINIAN AUSTRALIANS TO BE HELD IN SYDNEY – EXTENDING HAND OF MULTICULTURAL MATESHIP On the occasion of Multicultural March in NSW, Ukrainian Australians are extending the hand of mateship to their Aussie friends, neighbours and workmates of all backgrounds to join them in Sydney on the June long weekend as Ukrainians commemorate 65 years of positive contribution to Australia. The National Festival of Ukrainian Australians will be a two-day showcase of cultural performances, food and drink, sporting competition, culinary events, historical exhibitions, community workshops, and social gatherings between old and new friends. “At our National Festival in Sydney in June, Ukrainian Australians will both celebrate our rich heritage and show our gratitude for the many opportunities that Australia has given Ukrainians since we arrived in substantial numbers in 1948,” stated Mr Stefan Romaniw, President of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO) and former Victorian Multicultural Commissioner. “That’s why we are inviting our Australian friends of all cultural, language and faith backgrounds to join us. It’s the sharing of our respective cultures that makes us all stronger and unified as Australians,” Mr Romaniw said. “The National Festival is a chance to experience everything from our unique Ukrainian food, such as ‘varenyky’ dumplings, to our world-famous Kozak dancing, as well some fair dinkum Ukrainian hospitality. “Ukrainians were formally among the first post-war migrants who with patience and perseverance helped build our successful, culturally diverse society at the end of the White Australia Policy. The Festival is also a chance for our community to mark the courage and commitment of our ‘founding fathers and mothers’ who left tyranny in Europe to build vibrant, self-sufficient lives from humble beginnings here, including via migrant reception centres and hostels,” Mr Romaniw said.
