  • "No Fags out There": Gay Men, Identity and Suburbia
    "NO FAGS OUT THERE": GAY MEN, IDENTITY AND SUBURBIA STEPHEN HODGE, School of Earth Sciences, Macquarie University. Abstract This paper speculates on the role of place in the formation of gay men's identities in the Sydney region. The high visibility of inner city gay territories in Sydney can make it easy to assume that there are no gay men or lesbians outside of these places. Territories like these have been the major focus of research into the relationship between sexuality and space. This paper discusses issues around broadening this research into suburban spaces. Such investigation can diversify our understanding of the relationship between sexuality and space and may also yield positive benefits for gay liberation. The paper concludes by discussing ways forward for investigating the relationship between gay men's sexuality and suburban space. The guide to the 1994 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras included a map outlining the location of venues associated with the festival, parade and party. This map focussed on the inner city of the Sydney region, with most venues on or around Oxford Street, Darlinghurst and a smaller cluster on or around King Street, Newtown. These streets and their surrounds house a concentration of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and community services catering to Sydney's inner city lesbian and gay populations. Furthermore, commentators such as Wotherspoon have argued that many lesbians and gay men live in the surrounding residential areas. Because of this concentration it is easy to assume that the lesbian and gay spaces of Darlinghurst and Newtown constitute lesbian and gay Sydney. Those of us from the suburbs know otherwise.

The Melbourne Social Equity Institute acknowledges an imperfect world. Chances of birth such as class, race, ability or gender can lead to marginalisation and societies are sometimes beset by divisions of culture, economic status or creed. The Institute supports collaborative research between academics, members of community organisations, policy makers and people with lived experiences which helps build fairer societies. The Institute prioritises rights-based and interdisciplinary research, involving partners from the community and giving those with a lived experience of disadvantage voice in the focus, design and outcomes of research. Interdisciplinary research means drawing on the strengths of each of our university’s faculties in order to better solve complex problems of disadvantage. Involving community partners ensures that research is relevant to those outside the academy. In 2017, the Melbourne Social Equity Institute’s research focused on refugees and forced migration, poverty and income inequality and community engaged research. The Institute also auspiced the important work of the Melbourne Research Alliance to End Violence against women and their children (MAEVe).

  • The Poetry of Alison Croggon and Rebecca Edwards Introduction
    ‘A Spirit of Eclecticism’: Critical Engagements with Australia’s Innovative New Nineties Poetries by Debbie M. Comerford BA (JCU), BA Hons. (USQ) Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Humanities & International Studies University of Southern Queensland January 2008 ABSTRACT In the 1990s Australia’s poetry milieu was enlivened by the emergence of a number of new poets and their poetry. This study groups these poets together under the title of ‘new nineties poets and poetries’. For the purposes of this study ‘new nineties poets and poetries’ refers to poetry written for the page by poets who published their first collection between 1990 and 2000 and who continue to write into the twenty-first century. New nineties poets and their poetry are not a new ‘movement’ or ‘school’ of poets; the poetry is characterised by diverse forms, styles, approaches and practices. Within these eclectic poetic practices emerge shared concerns with the issues of embodiment, language, cultural difference and violence. As John Leonard discusses, the “new poets evade categorization” (New Music xv) and it is the premise of this study that appropriate poetry criticism needs to respect and celebrate the eclecticism of new nineties poetries by resisting the convenient application of categories and divisive labels. This study attends to the critical question of what type of poetry criticism is appropriate for new nineties poetries. One answer to this question emanates from what Leonard describes as the “spirit of eclecticism” that characterises this new poetry (New Music xv). Criticism that works with this “spirit of eclecticism” will be as eclectic as the poetry itself.
