AN IMAGE of AUSTRALIA in SERBIAN TRANSLATION: the CASE of HENRY LAWSON UDC 811.111(94)'255.2 LAWSON H.:811.163.41 Nataša Karan
FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Linguistics and Literature Vol. 6, No 1, 2008, pp. 85 - 93 AN IMAGE OF AUSTRALIA IN SERBIAN TRANSLATION: THE CASE OF HENRY LAWSON UDC 811.111(94)'255.2 LAWSON H.:811.163.41 Nataša Karanfilović Faculty of Philosophy, Novi Sad Abstract. The paper offers a critical analysis of Lawson's short stories which have been translated into Serbian. His stories are not analysed one by one but several levels of analysis have been proposed (lexical, grammatical and phonological) within which possible problems have been defined and their solutions discussed and commented on. The greatest attention is given to the lexical level of analysis where Peter Newmark's categorisation has been applied and cultural words grouped into five categories as follows: 1) ecology, 2) material culture, 3) social culture, 4) organisations, customs, activities, procedures, ideas, and 5) gestures and habits. Furthermore, the conducted analysis opens the ground for reflections on the impact of translations on the image of Australia and its culture they create for Serbian readership. Key words: Australian English, cultural words, Lawson, translation The first recorded translation of the Australian classic author Henry Lawson (1867- 1922) into Serbian dates from January 24th 1954 and it was published in a daily newspa- per.1 Unfortunately, this issue could not be found in the libraries. Back translation of the title from Serbian into English gives "The Stubborn Dog", so that it could arguably be the translation of "The Loaded Dog". A collection entitled Kako se zaljubio Džo Vilson (Joe Wilson's Courtship) was pub- lished in 1956 and it is a selection of nine stories taken from Joe Wilson and His Mates, On the Track, While the Billy Boils and Over the Sliprails.2 Although the collection was Received June 11, 2008 The paper was presented at the 9th Biennial EASA Conference: "Translating Cultures: Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific", Roskilde, 26 – 30. -

La Trobe University Margaret Hickey a Return to the Land
Hickey A return to the land La Trobe University Margaret Hickey A return to the land Abstract: In his 2002 Australia Day address, author and ecologist Tim Flannery said Australians could only become a 'true people' by developing 'deep, sustaining roots in the land'. He said the land was 'the only thing that we all, uniquely, share in common. It is at once our inheritance, our sustenance, and the only force ubiquitous and powerful enough to craft a truly Australian people.' This paper will explore how landscape in Australian literature has moved from being a source of anxiety and distrust into one of redemption. By examining themes within the popular novels Dirt Music (2001) by Tim Winton, The Broken Shore (2005) by Peter Temple, The World Beneath (2009) by Cate Kennedy and referencing early writers Barbara Baynton and Henry Lawson, I will discuss how this shift is taking place and what it means for the rediscovery of Australian literature through the lens of landscape and Flannery’s vision. Biographical note: Margaret Hickey is a lecturer in Student learning at La Trobe University. She is currently undertaking a PhD in Creative Writing. A published playwright, Margaret’s work has been performed in Australia and overseas. Keywords: Australian literature – landscape – Flannery – Winton – Lawson – Kennedy – Baynton Writing the Ghost Train: Refereed conference papers of the 20th Annual AAWP Conference, 2015 1 Hickey A return to the land In 1790 Watkin Tench, first officer with the first fleet and a member of the fledging British colony wrote of his experience in Sydney: Here on the summit of the hill, every morning from daylight until sun sunk, did we sweep the horizon in hope of seeing a sail. -
A Critical Biography of Henry Lawson
'From Mudgee Hills to London Town': A Critical Biography of Henry Lawson On 23 April 1900, at his studio in New Zealand Chambers, Collins Street, Melbourne, John Longstaff began another commissioned portrait. Since his return from Europe in the mid-1890s, when he had found his native Victoria suffering a severe depression, such commissions had provided him with the mainstay to support his young family. While abroad he had studied in the same Parisian atelier as Toulouse Lautrec and a younger Australian, Charles Conder. He had acquired an interest in the new 'plein air' impressionism from another Australian, Charles Russell, and he had been hung regularly in the Salon and also in the British Academy. Yet the successful career and stimulating opportunities Longstaff could have assumed if he had remained in Europe eluded him on his return to his own country. At first he had moved out to Heidelberg, but the famous figures of the local 'plein air' school, like Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton, had been drawn to Sydney during the depression. Longstaff now lived at respectable Brighton, and while he had painted some canvases that caught the texture and tonality of Australian life-most memorably his study of the bushfires in Gippsland in 1893-local dignitaries were his more usual subjects. This commission, though, was unusual. It had come from J. F. Archibald, editor of the not fully respectable Sydney weekly, the Bulletin, and it was to paint not another Lord Mayor or Chief Justice, First published as the introduction to Brian Kiernan, ed., The Essential Henry Lawson (Currey O'Neil, Kew, Vic., 1982). -

Henry Lawson at Bourke
35 JOHN BARNES The making of a legend: Henry Lawson at Bourke ‘If you know Bourke, you know Australia’, Henry Lawson wrote to Edward Garnett in February 1902, a few months before returning to Australia from England. He explained to Garnett that his new collection of stories, which he then called ‘The Heart of Australia’, was ‘centred at Bourke and all the Union leaders are in it’.1 (When published later that year it was entitled Children of the Bush – a title probably chosen by the London publisher.) A decade after he had been there, Lawson was revisiting in memory a place that had had a profound influence on him. It is no exaggeration to say that his one and only stay in what he and other Australians called the ‘Out Back’ was crucial to his development as a prose writer. Without the months that he spent in the north- west of New South Wales, it is unlikely that he would ever have achieved the legendary status that he did as an interpreter of ‘the real Australia’. II In September 1892, Henry Lawson travelled the 760-odd kilometres from Sydney to Bourke by train, his fare paid by JF Archibald, editor of the Bulletin, who also gave him £5 for living expenses. Some time after Lawson’s death, his friend and fellow writer, EJ Brady, described how this came about. Through his contributions to the Bulletin and several other journals, Lawson had become well known as a writer, primarily as a versifier; but he found it almost impossible to make a living by his writing. -

Early North Queensland
EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND EARLY DAYS IN NORTH QUEENSLAND BY THE LATE EDWARD PALMER SYDNEY ANGUS & ROBERTSON MELBOURNE: ANGUS, ROBERTSON & SHENSTONE 1903 This is a blank page TO THE NORTH-WEST. I know the land of the far, fa y away, Where the salt bush glistens in silver-grey ; Where the emit stalks with her striped brood, Searching the plains for her daily food. I know the land of the far, far west, Where the bower-bird builds her playhouse nest ; Where the dusky savage from day to day, Hunts with his tribe in their old wild way. 'Tis a land of vastness and solitude deep, Where the dry hot winds their revels keep ; The land of mirage that cheats the eye, The land of cloudless and burning sky. 'Tis a land of drought and pastures grey, Where flock-pigeons rise in vast ark ay ; Where the " nardoo" spreads its silvery sheen Over the plains where the floods have beeh. 'Tis a land of gidya and dark boree, Extended o'er plains like an inland sea, Boundless and vast, where the wild winds pass, O'er the long rollers and billows of grass. I made my home in that thirsty land, Where rivers for water are filled with sand ; Where glare and heat and storms sweep by, Where the prairie rolls to the western sky.

Henry Lawson - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Henry Lawson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Henry Lawson(17 June 1867 – 2 September 1922) Henry Lawson was an Australian writer and poet. Along with his contemporary Banjo Paterson, Lawson is among the best-known Australian poets and fiction writers of the colonial period and is often called Australia's "greatest writer". He was the son of the poet, publisher and feminist <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/louisa-lawson/">Louisa Lawson</a>. <b>Early Life</b> Henry Lawson was born in a town on the Grenfell goldfields of New South Wales. His father was Niels Herzberg Larsen, a Norwegian-born miner who went to sea at 21, arrived in Melbourne in 1855 to join the gold rush.

On Henry's birth, the family surname was anglicised and Niels became Peter Lawson. The newly- married couple were to have an unhappy marriage.

THE SHORT STORY: Fi FORM of LITERATURE Iisri CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 1: THE SHORT STORY: fi FORM OF LITERATURE iiSRi CHAPTER 1: THE SHORT STORY: A FORM OF LITERATURE INTRODUCTION: The short story is a form of short fictional narrative prose. Historically, the short narrative, be it in verse or prose, is one of the oldest and most widespread of literary forms. It is nearly as old as language itself. Throughout history man has enjoyed various types of brief narratives such as jests, anecdotes, studied digressions, short allegorical romances, moralizing fairy tales, short myths, and abbreviated historical legends, etc. The short story did not really emerge as a distinct literary genre until the 19th century. It has originated from the ancient narratives. Since its birth the modern short story has gone through so many changes and has developed in full-fledged form of literature in a short time. It has a definite technique of its own, and has its own specific requirements of matter and treatment. It organizes the action, thought and dialogue of its characters into the artful pattern of plot. Thus, the short story in the hands of its modern exponents has achieved the status of a distinct genre. As a skilful artist, the modern short story writer is a close observer of life, a keen student of character, and a master of style. -1 - THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHORT STORY: The short story primarily aims at entertainment. It is a story that is short and it can be easily read at a single sitting. Hence, it should be of moderate length. In this matter the language of the short story should be a model of economy.
