Penny Holliday THE SHIFTING CITY: A STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY FICTIONAL REPRESENTATIONS OF MELBOURNE’S INNER AND OUTER SUBURBAN SPACES Penny Holliday Master of Arts 2008 Principal Supervisor: Dr Lesley Hawkes Associate Supervisor: Dr Vivienne Muller Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Writing and Literary Studies Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Melbourne, suburbs, Australian literature, Soja, Thirdspace, spatial justice, Tsiolkas, Carroll, Hartnett, Macauley, de Certeau, UNESCO Literary Cities Network, cultural geography Abstract This project explores the complexity of Melbourne’s inner and outer suburban spaces as portrayed within contemporary fiction set in Melbourne. The study is comprised of a textual analysis of the works of several key Melbourne writers whose writings over the past decade have featured their city’s inner and outer suburbs as significant sites in the exploration of the relationship between identity and place. They play an important part in my contention in this thesis that Melbourne, as a city of suburbs, is a paradigm worthy of writerly and critical attention. The fictional texts are Christos Tsiolkas’s The Slap (2008), Sonya Hartnett’s Butterfly (2009), Steven Carroll’s novel The Time We Have Taken (2007) from The Glenroy Series (2001-2011) and Wayne Macauley’s novel Blueprints for a Barbed-Wire Canoe (2004).

Chapter 1 Introduction Research question: What do contemporary fictional representations of Melbourne’s inner and outer suburban spaces reveal about the practices of everyday life when examined within a spatial justice (Soja 2010) and Thirdspace framework? (Soja 1996). The Shifting City: Representations of Melbourne in Contemporary Narratives Melbourne’s white history since the days of settlement suggests that it has always been a conglomerate of urban and suburban spaces organised variously as Melbourne grew around wealth, class, industry, work and ethnic groupings following successive waves of migration. Michel de Certeau’s idea of the concept city is applied to my study of Melbourne as it fits well with my perception of the planned city of Melbourne as also consisting of a hidden or ‘real’ city. The sentiment of de Certeau’s idea of the city is expressed by author Jenny Sinclair in her book When we think about Melbourne: The imagination of a city (2010): In one square of a blue-edged Melways map is enough human experience and history for a lifetime’s or world’s worth of study and understanding: the trees and bush that once grew from the land, the animals that lived there, the thousands of years of indigenous occupation … Add in the years of Melbourne’s expansion, the cutting down of the trees, the paving of the roads and the little lives lived in each house, even for the mere 150 or so years the suburbs have been spreading out; multiply that by the possible ways of looking at those people - … there is too much in even that small block of land for any one person to process (Sinclair 2010, p. 26). Melbourne’s status as the one-time capital of Australia and its development as a site of cultural and artistic activity consolidated when, in 2009, it was declared UNESCO’s second literary city, which promoted an exclusive and unified image of the city. Such a construction tends to invalidate other spaces of diversity and the everyday lives lived in suburban spaces away from the city precincts. While this is a significant boost to the city in terms of its Chapter 1 Introduction 9 literary status, especially on a world stage, there is also the risk of setting up a particular boundary. The UNESCO Literary City tag potentially, could exclude the suburbs that surround the city of Melbourne as it doesn’t take into account the suburbs that surround it. Also, there is a rich literary heritage of writing about Melbourne suburbs from myriad voices through poetry, prose and plays. However given the

  • Independent Scholar Shivaun Plozza the Troll Under the Bridge
    Plozza The troll under the bridge Independent scholar Shivaun Plozza The troll under the bridge: should Australian publishers of young adult literature act as moral-gatekeepers? Abstract: In the world of Young Adult Literature, the perceived impact of certain texts on the moral, social and psychological development of its readers is a cause for debate. The question ‘what is suitable content for a pre-adult readership’ is one guaranteed to produce conflicting, polarising and impassioned responses. Within the context of this debate, the essay explores a number of key questions. Do publishers have a moral obligation to avoid certain topics or should they be pushing the boundaries of teen fiction further? Is it the role of the publisher to consider the impact of books they publish to a teenage audience? Should the potential impact of a book on its reader be considered ahead of a book’s potential to sell and make money? This article analyses criticism and praise for two ‘controversial’ Australian Young Adult books: Sonya Hartnett’s Sleeping Dogs (1997) and John Marsden’s Dear Miffy (1997). It argues that ‘issues-books’ are necessary to the development of teens, and publishers should continue to push the envelope of teen fiction while ensuring they make a concerted effort to produce quality, sensitive and challenging books for a teen market. Biographical note: Shivaun Plozza is a project editor, manuscript assessor and writer of YA fiction. Her debut novel, Frankie, is due for publication by Penguin in early 2016. She has published short stories, poetry and articles in various journals, both online and print, and has won numerous awards and fellowships.

  • Novel, Suburb, Cosmos
    The View from Above from Below: Novel, Suburb, Cosmos Brigid Rooney HROUGH CONVERGENT TECHNOLOGIES OF CAMERA AND FLIGHT, THE VIEW FROM ABOVE directs the opening chapter of The Australian Ugliness (1960), Melbourne- T based Robin Boyd’s famous critique of urban and suburban aesthetic forms. By 1960, such aerial vision was nothing new, but the arrival in 1956 of the Boeing jet meant air-travel was about to eclipse the sea voyage, conquering what Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey famously termed ‘the tyranny of distance’, and ushering in the era of mass tourism. This development naturalised and popularised an aesthetics of panorama that also organises the representation of suburbia. Boyd re-stages the aerial view successively. The visitor’s first approach to Australia is from the north. Moving from Darwin to Bourke, the visitor crosses over country ‘burnt brown and patchy, like a tender sunburnt skin, with sections of darker brown and blood red and blisters of lighter ochre’; his camera-eye view takes in the ‘red backland of Australia’ which ‘looks from the air satisfyingly like its own maps’ (Boyd 18). The arrival of Boyd’s hypothetical visitor, as noted, is staged twice, in the second instance tracking the plane’s approach ‘from across the Pacific’ over 1950s pre- Opera-House Sydney. From the long high view, urban Australia presents a vision of ‘continuity, unity and the promise of comfort in the mushroom roofs and the bright background of tended green’. Momentarily, suburban sprawl figures the ‘love of home’, with ‘great speckled carpets spread wide around every © Australian Humanities Review 60 (November 2016).

  • Senate Submission
    Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee Jacinda Woodhead Editor, Overland magazine VU – Footscray Park Campus PO Box 14428 Melbourne VIC 8001 17 July 2015 Dear Committee Secretary and Members, I edit one of Australia’s oldest literary magazines, Overland, founded in 1954 by Stephen Murray-Smith. Overland has a long and distinguished history, and it’s list of published authors reads like a catalogue of influential Australian writers, from Patrick White, Frank Hardy and Dorothy Hewett to Peter Carey, Alexis Wright and Christos Tsiolkas. Overland’s mission is to foster new, original and progressive work exploring the relationship between politics and culture, especially literature, and to bring that work to as many people as possible. In its sixty-first year of publication, Overland continues to be artistically vibrant, making significant contributions to Australian cultural life on a daily basis. Much of Overland’s current success has been enabled by the infrastructure the organisation has been able to build over the years through subscriber, philanthropic and government support, including the critical funding the Australia Council has offered the magazine at the various stages of its existence. Overland publishes four print issues of 96 pages a year, each edition consisting of original fiction, poetry, nonfiction and artwork of the highest standard. Recent editions have included work by Germaine Greer, Cate Kennedy, Rodney Hall, Alexis Wright, Christos Tsiolkas and Alison Croggon. Overland is also committed to finding new talent: writers whose early work featured in the journal include Nam Le, Jennifer Mills, Stephen Amsterdam, Ali Alizadeh, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Anwen Crawford (who has started recently writing for the New Yorker) and artist Megan Cope.

Hecate, 34(1). pp. 159-174. © Copyright 2008 please consult the author. Lost children and imaginary mothers in Sonya Harnett’s Of A Boy In Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva writes about lost children.1 These are what she calls ‘dejects’, 2 who, in the psychodrama of subject formation, fail to fully absent the body of the mother, to accept the Law of the Father and the Symbolic, and subsequently to establish ‘clear boundaries which constitute the object-world for normal subjects’.3 Dejects are ‘strays’ looking for a place to belong, a place that is bound up with the Imaginary mother of the pre-Oedipal period. Kristeva’s sketch of the deject as one who is unable to negotiate a proper path to the Symbolic is useful to a reading of Hartnett’s Of A Boy (2002)4, a novel that also deals with lost children and imaginary mothers. However in its portrayal of children who are doomed to never achieve adulthood, Of A Boy enacts a haunting retrieval of the pre-Oedipal from the dark side of phallocentric representation, privileging the semiotic (Kristeva’s concept) and the maternal as necessary disruptive checks on a patriarchal Symbolic Order. In reading the narrative in this way, this essay does not seek to foreclose on other interpretations which may more fully illuminate the material and historical contexts in which Hartnett’s stories of abandoned and lost mothers and children are activated.

  • Colonising Time, Recollecting Place: Steven Carroll's Reinvention Of
    Colonising time, recollecting place: Steven Carroll’s reinvention of suburbia BRIGID ROONEY University of Sydney Australian suburbs—like suburbs elsewhere1—are attracting renewed scholarly attention during the latest phase of urban transformation. As work by Fiona Allon (2008), Amanda Wise (2010) and others shows, the lived experience, spatial contours and cultural demographics of contemporary suburbia are in flux. It is no coincidence that representations of suburbia are also changing in character and detail, as seen in recent literary fiction. Christos Tsiolkas’s The Slap (2008), for instance, reinvents suburban terrain precisely through its engagement with Australia’s diversifying demography and changing urban/suburban modes, in turn conditioned by global capitalism’s fluid and precarious present, in what Zygmunt Bauman influentially terms ‘liquid modernity’ (Bauman 1-15). Yet literary critics and scholars of Australian literature are yet to move far from what has been, since the 1990s, a governing focus on an anti-suburban literary tradition. Critics have used ‘pro- or anti-suburbia’ as the key—if not sole—rubric for reading fictions of suburbia. Conditioned by the fiction itself, this approach was influentially introduced by Robin Gerster (1990), theoretically honed by Andrew McCann and others (1997; 1998), and continues into the present, albeit with modification and updating (Burns; O’Reilly). Fictions of postwar suburbia depicting the entrapment or flight of their protagonists are routinely read as anti- suburban, as a function of cosmopolitan habitus or artistic elitism. Even such an elusive work as David Malouf’s Johnno (1975) has been positioned as anti-suburban:2 there has been no escaping the dominance of this paradigm.

  • Locating the Gothic in Four Australian Novels
    ‘No storied windows, richly dight’: Locating the Gothic in Four Australian Novels An Exegesis Accompanying ‘Twigs from a Hedge in Winter: an Australian Gothic Novel’ Henry Ashley-Brown Submitted as part of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Discipline of English School of Humanities The University of Adelaide South Australia August, 2009 Abstract After completing the first draft of ‘Twigs from a Hedge in Winter’, I discovered that my novel contained several elements that placed it within the Gothic genre. Wanting to account for how this happened, I decided to research the genre. In this exegesis I pose the following questions: what defines the Gothic genre and what are the Gothic elements in arguably the world’s first example, Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto. I ask if these can be traced in early Australian literature through to Elizabeth Harrower’s The Watch Tower, Elizabeth Jolley’s The Well and Sonya Hartnett’s Surrender. I examine how my novel is situated within the context of the genre in Australia and account for how my original draft came to display Gothic elements. I also note the adjustments I made to enhance some of these elements in ‘Twigs from a Hedge in Winter’. The words that comprise the title of my novel were uttered in the Old Bailey in eighteenth-century London, when Jack Cooper was sentenced to transportation for life for stealing twigs from a hedge to keep warm in winter. The hedge was on the common land that Jack’s family had owned before Judge Christian Wilson enclosed it, leaving the Coopers to fend for themselves.

    Un niño a solas con sus libros es, para mí, la verdadera imagen de una felicidad potencial, de algo que siempre está a punto de ser. Un niño, solitario y con talento, utilizará una historia o un poema maravillosos para crearse un compañero. Ese amigo invisible no es una fantasmagoría malsana, sino una mente que aprende a ejercitar todas sus facultades. Quizás es también ese momento misterioso en que nace un nuevo poe- ta, un nuevo narrador. Harold Bloom IBBY México / A leer trabaja para generar encuentros gozosos con la lec- tura para que, de esta manera, la cultura escrita sea parte fundamen- tal de la vida de los mexicanos. Una manera de lograrlo es asesorar a maestros, padres de familia, bibliotecarios y promotores de lectura en la formación de acervos y selección de libros.
