I acknowledge the support I have received for my research through the provision of an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. Kim Munro, April 2019 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have many people to thank who each contributed in various ways throughout this PhD. Some by way of a chance encounter, and others in a more ongoing way. Firstly I’d like to thank my primary supervisor Ben Byrne for continual encouragement and engaged feedback on both written and creative elements. Also associate supervisor Linda Daley for her close and considered readings during the latter stages. Thank you to Seth Keen for his early conversations around practice and also to Adrian Miles who passed away in 2018 yet who contributed much in scholarly advice and provocations.
