  • Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity
    Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead.

  • Midnight Oil „The Dead Heart“
    Midnight Oil „The Dead Heart“ Das Jahr 2000. In Sydney werden die Olympischen Spiele durchgeführt. Wohl zum ersten Mal wird die Welt mit dem Schicksal und der aktuellen Situation der australischen Aborigines konfrontiert. Wegen erwarteter (und auch durchgeführter) Proteste der australischen Ureinwohner organisiert die Festspielleitung zahlreiche symbolische Aktionen, um den Aborigines entgegen zu kommen und die Olympischen Spiele als eine „powerful healing statement for Aboriginal Australia“ (Geoff Clark, Gründer der „Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission“) zu inszenieren. Die legendäre Aborigines-Spitzensportlerin Cathy Freeman hat nicht nur die Olympische Fackel entzündet sondern auch nach Ihrem Goldmedaillensieg die (verbotene) Aborigines-Flagge gezeigt. Und in der Abschiedszeremonie durfte die australische Gruppe „Midnight Oil“ einen Song aus ihrer 1987 entstandenen CD „Diesel and Dust“ singen. Cathy Freeman zeigt neben der australischen auch die verbotene Aborigines-Flagge 2000 im Olympiastadion in Sydney 2 Das Jahr 1987. Die 1971 gegründete Rock-Band The Farm aus Sydney gab sich 1976 den Namen „Midnight Oil“ in Anspielung auf eine Redensart „burning of the midnight oil“ für „Arbeiten bis in die Nacht hinein“. 1986 wurde „Midnight Oil“ von der Aboriginales-Band „Warumpi“ zu einer gemeinsamen Tour „Blackfella/Whitefella“ („Schwarze und Weiße Kerle“, auch ein Songtitel von „Warumpi“) durch einige Homelands eingeladen. 1987 wurde unter dem Eindruck dieser Begegnung mit der Welt der Aborigines das Album „Diesel and Dust“, das sich mit der Ausbeutung von Aborigines-Land durch „Mining Companies“ und - kurz gesagt - den „White Man“ beschäftigt. „The Dead Heart“ ist das in dieser Beziehung wohl deutlichste Lied der CD. „Diesel and Dust“ verhalf „Midnight Oil“ zu ihrem internationalen Durchbruch, der bis heute - mit Unterbrechungen - anhält: Nachdem der Leadsänger Peter Garrett 2002 die Band verlassen hatte, um Berufspolitiker (u.a.

NÍngkoandi kuma yerta." l directions Analysing the various mythologies that inform Australian understandings of Aboriginal people, Marcia Langton concludes that what is revealed is not by and large a relationship between actual people but a relationship between white Australians and the symbols created by their predecessors: "Australians do not know and relate to Aboriginal people. They relate to stories told by former colonists" (Langton, 1993: 31). This thesis concentrates upon this relationship of non-Aboriginal people (especially white Australians) to the symbols and narratives they use to produce what is called Aboriginality. lt is a study of popular or broadly circulating representations of Australian Aboriginality. lt does not concentrate to any significant extent upon representations produced by Aboriginal people themselves: lt is important to recognise that the Aboriginality that is the subject of this thesis is an object largely independent of the cultural expressions and identity formations of Aboriginal people themselves.

  • “Offensively Australian:” Walkabout and Middlebrow Writers, 1927-1969
    “Offensively Australian:” Walkabout and Middlebrow Writers, 1927-1969 By Petrina Lee-Anne Osborne B.N., B.A. (Hons.), M.I.M. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania October 2014 ii Declaration of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree of diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Petrina Osborne Authority of Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Petrina Osborne iii Abstract This thesis undertakes a postcolonial reading of a selection of the fiction and non- fiction of Ion Idriess, Arthur Upfield, Ernestine Hill and John K. Ewers. It argues that their published and unpublished writing and correspondence contributed to a mid-twentieth-century literary discourse concerning identity, race and nation. The connection this study makes between these four middlebrow writers is their relationship with Walkabout, an Australian middlebrow geographic magazine. All four writers were noted contributors to the journal. In several ways their writerly endeavours—both fiction and non-fiction—paralleled Walkabout‘s attempts to influence its readers‘ views concerning identity and nation, particularly in respect to rendering the lesser known and populated regions of Australia familiar to its readership.

    The Space and Time of Imagined Sound: Australian Literature and Music, 1945 to Present Joseph Cummins A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences 2015 Acknowledgements Since I started as an undergraduate, Elizabeth McMahon and John Napier have inspired and guided my intellectual pathway. I’ll always remember John playing Bartok and Ravel, and Liz lecturing on Whitman and Tsiolkas. Without their encouragement, knowledge, discussion, editing skills and advice this project would not have taken place. Thank you both. Ashley Barnwell. Thank you for all your encouragement, inspiration, support, and love. You are my partner in crime, always willing to discuss, deconstruct, and argue. Thanks for your help in the last six months of this project, for pushing my writing, and for reading through the final copy. Alister Spence, Phil Slater and Helen Groth have been great and generous mentors to me during my time at UNSW. Thank you for your encouragement and advice. A particular thank you to Al and Phil, from whom I learnt so much. Thanks to my family, my music family, ASAL, AAL, IASPM, CMSA, Maroubra, Sydney Roosters, and International Grammar School. For sparking my love of the literary and historical, and for her encouragement, example of open mindedness and discussion, and genuine interest in my work, this thesis is dedicated to Nan Colleen. Abstract This thesis examines the space and time of imagined sound in Australian post-World War Two literature and music. Using what I term a critical close listening methodology, I will discuss a range of novels, poems, songs, song suites, film clips and art music compositions that, through a return to various times in the past, offer a remapping of Australian space.

  • Alternative Ideas: Post-Modern Music As a Critique of American Society
    Alternative Ideas: Post-Modern Music as a critique of American society An Honors Thesis (IO 499) by Anthony Edmonds Ball state University Muncie, Indiana April 1990 Graduation: 5 May 1990 Popular music is a form of creative expression. It can be trite and meaningless or emotional and passionate, formulaic and unoriginal or refreshing and revolutionary. since the 1960s, rock music has been considered an art form,' and just as classical music, literature and theatre can evoke feelings and express opinions, popular music too can be a vehicle for personal statements and social criticism. Ever since the 1960s when groups like the Beatles and Rolling stones were saying something to their audience, much rock music, though not all, has had meaningful and insightful lyrics. 'Alternative' music is especially dependent on lyrical content as its backbone. certainly the music itself is very important as well, but at the same time this type of music is replete with social observations which are conveyed by the words. Also called post-modern, this kind of music is best defined in the context of its principal audience. What is now termed 'alternative' is an outgrowth of the punk/new wave movement of the late 1970s, a movement that was undeniably working-class in its roots. Punk surfaced in England as a challenge to the hegemonic ruling-class. The music represented the percipience of lower-class youths, challenged the capitalist control of music, and suggested new sounds, forms and meaning. 2 Punk was different in how it was made and what it portrayed, and groups such as the Clash and the Sex pistols sang angry songs about poverty, inequality, helplessness and alienation.
