Paul Hoover Professor of Creative Writing Maxine ChemofF Professor of Creative Writing TASSAJARAKEEN John Walter Darrow San Francisco California 2019 13.7 billion years ago a singularity of infinite density exploded. All that now exists began its inexorable rush outward from that point. Approximately 379,000 years after that event the expanding universe began to accrete in places and separate in others. The slower bits fell together under the pull of gravity to form matter, while the fast bits continued to radiate at undiminished speed. It's been like that ever since. We are some of the results of all that bumping and radiating, but essentially nothing has changed. The universe and all its parts are the grand map of an explosion in progress. We are a brief arrangement of some of those parts. Radiation lights our way, reflected, refracted, dim and scattered. Six degrees below the horizon at dawn and dusk our sun offers a civil twilight, enough to see by but not too much to blind. Here is some of what I've seen. I certi: stract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis.

  • Jennifer Burton Thesis (PDF 1MB)
    ‘Fair Dinkum Personal Grooming’ Male beauty culture and men’s magazines in twentieth century Australia Jennifer Burton BA (Hons) Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2008 1 Keywords Men’s magazines, masculinity, grooming, metrosexual, representation, cultural economy, media, readerships 2 Abstract In this thesis, I analyse the representation of grooming in Australian men’s lifestyle magazines to explore the emergence of new masculine subjectivities constructed around narcissism and the adoption of previously feminine-coded products and practices which may indicate important shifts in the cultural meanings of Australian masculinity. However, in order to talk about ‘new’ subjectivities and ‘shifts’ in masculine behaviours and cultural ideals, then it is imperative to demonstrate ‘old’ practices and ideologies, and so while the thesis is concerned with discourses of grooming and models of masculinity presented in the new genre of men’s lifestyle titles which appeared on the Australian market in the late 1990s, it frames this discussion with detailed analyses of previously unexplored Australian men’s general interest magazines from the 1930s. According to Frank Mort consumption, traditionally associated with the feminine has now become a central part of imagining men (1996: 17-18) while the representation and sale of masculinity is an increasingly important part of the ‘cultural economy’ (Mikosza, 2003). In this thesis I am concerned with the role of men’s lifestyle magazines and magazine representations of masculinity
