Even from behind her sunglasses, Janet’s eyes winced at the brightness of their silvery-brown skin. Then her eyes were drawn to the wobbling water that lassoed the sun into strange rings and coils. And there, beneath it all, was the crack. For a moment, she thought that there was no crack. Surely if there were a crack, the water level would have dipped. Surely, she would have noticed if the water level had dipped. Or Solomon would have said something about the water level dropping. Nothing had been said or noticed. Until now. She stood there. Her three little silver darlings shivered in the heat and murmured to one side. She slid her sunglasses onto the top of her head. She stood over the pool, leaning out as far as she dared. Still the water looped and coiled the glinting light. It would take time for the waves to settle. But she had time. Of that commodity she had an abundance. Always that sense of time on her hands. As though time were some sticky substance that clung to her fingers and had to be carefully scoured off.

  • Differently Drawn Boundaries of the Permissible in German And
    67 Differently Drawn Boundaries of the Permissible in German and Australian Literary Journalism by Beate Josephi, Edith Cowan University, Australia Christine Müller, University of Applied Science, Germany Australian author Anna Funder’s Stasiland serves as a useful study for exploring the differences between German and Australian notions of literary journalism when it comes to claims of verifiability and authenticity. ustralian author Anna Funder’s book Stasiland, which deals with life in Athe former East Germany, is based on a series of interviews. It has been described as “a fresh and highly original close-up of what happens to people in the corrosive atmosphere of a totalitarian state.”1 Stasiland, which came out in 2002, tells the story of ordinary citizens who got caught up in the web of East Germany’s state security [Staatssicherheit or “Stasi”]. Yet, it is more than a history about the Stasi. It is a personal exploration of the reality of psychological terror that, as far as Anna Funder was concerned, had not yet been sufficiently told.2 Stasiland was shortlisted for numerous prizes in Australia and also “received rave notices”3 in Britain, where it won the BBC Four Samuel Johnson Prize in 2004, a substantial award which carries a prize money of £30,000. The prize is an award for nonfiction only, and Stasiland was commended for stretching the boundaries of nonfiction writing.4 The Sunday Times, to quote from the book’s back cover, called it “a masterpiece of investigative analysis, written almost like a novel, with a perfect mix of compassion and distance.”5 It was, then, book-length journalism with a literary ambition.

    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.

    Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) Submission to Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee inquiry into the Impact of the 2014 and 2015 Commonwealth Budget decisions on the Arts July 17 2015 1 Ms Sophie Dunstone Committee Secretary Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee The Senate Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 17 July 2015 Dear Committee Members, Inquiry into the impact of the 2014 and 2015 Commonwealth Budget decisions on the Arts The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) is the largest and most established union and industry advocate for Australia’s creative professionals. Its membership includes journalists, artists, photographers, performers, producers, ballet dancers, musicians and film, television and performing arts technicians. MEAA has a diverse and vibrant membership across all spheres of creative endeavour in Australia. MEAA welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to this timely inquiry. MEAA position MEAA is concerned at the wastage associated with having a duplicated national funding source for the arts by taking what was the work of the Australia Council and passing it on to the newly‐ created the National Program for Excellence in the Arts (NPEA). Notwithstanding the concerns we have heard from the arts community in general, and our members in particular, surrounding the issues with unilateral ministerial prerogative in terms of what projects are artistically worthy of funding, MEAA has concerns about the efficiency of maintaining two dual funding bodies. MEAA takes a dim view of establishing two competing funding bodies for the arts without the creation of additional resources overall. This is a recipe for division, duplication and waste within the arts sector.

  • The End of Imperialism Was the Birth of Nationalism, a Wave of Rising
    New German Identity: Reworking the Past and Defining the Present in Contemporary German Cinema Constance McCarney Dr. Robert Gregg Spring 2008 General University Honors McCarney 2 The end of imperialism was the birth of nationalism, a wave of rising consciousness that swept over the conquered areas of the world and brought them to their feet with a defiant cry, “We are a Nation!” These new nations, almost all multiethnic states, struggled in defining themselves, found themselves locked in civil wars over what the citizen of this nation looked like and who s/he was. The old nations, locked in a Cold War, looked on, confident in their own national cohesion and unity. But the end of the Cold War proved to be the birth of complicated new identity concerns for Europe. Yugoslavia splintered in terrible ethnic conflict. France rioted over the expression of religious affiliation. Germany tried desperately to salvage the hope that brought down the Wall and stitch itself back together. For Germany the main questions of identity linger, not only who is a German, but what does it mean to be German?
