This document has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. Claire Fletcher March 1st, 2015 Abstract This masters thesis comprises two elements. The first section, the exegesis, examines what it means to be a conjoined twin. It explores the representation of conjoined twins from early historical narratives to the present day. Each chapter reflects the shifting passage of their representation. Chapter 1, Freaks, traces their exploitation in sideshows and performances. Chapter 2, Separation examines medical narratives about modern surgical separation interventions. Chapter 3, Normal, explores contemporary representations in film and fiction. I also examine conjoined twins who have chosen to remain as they are and to live their lives in a single, joined state. The final chapter, Storytelling, explores my novella which is based on the lives of two conjoined sisters and what creative issues I faced as I wrote it. The second section of the thesis is my novella Silvie and Van, in which I create two conjoined sisters who undergo separation surgery. I trace their separated lives located in the contemporary world with its focus on beauty and so called normality. This novella attempts to creatively examine a number of the key questions I raise in my critical work, including: how conjoined twins are viewed by the external and single bodied world? What happens when these twins are separated? What is the potential emotional, physical and symbolic significance of separation on the human psyche? Through these critical and creative explorations I hope to demonstrate how conjoined twins have been represented and misrepresented through the ages, and how they have managed to maintain their agency, despite the complexities of their birth. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank first and foremost my supervisor Professor Catherine Cole, who believed in the project from inception to completion. I am thankful for the support of my family, my parents and two brothers, who told me to keep writing when I desperately wanted to stop. For the support of my writers group, Catherine Fargher and Matthew Young, who looked at early drafts of creative work and shared ideas. To Matthew Young, Sandy Lange and Luke Fletcher for their diligent checking. Thank you fellow artists, Nellie Blundell, Armand De Saint-Salvy and Alejandra Canales for words of wisdom. The Goods Café, for caffeine and writing therapy. Finally to the inspirational examples provided by the twins themselves, without whom the idea would never have taken flight. ii Table of contents Acknowledgements .................................................................................................. ii Table of contents ....................................................................................................... iii List of figures ............................................................................................................ iv SECTION ONE: EXEGESIS ...................................................................................... 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................... 2 Chapter one: freaks ................................................................................................. 16 Chapter two: separation ......................................................................................... 41 Chapter three: normality ........................................................................................ 68 Chapter four: story telling ...................................................................................... 98 Conclusion .............................................................................................................. 112 References ............................................................................................................... 118 SECTION TWO: THE NOVELLA: SILVIE AND VAN ................................... 128 Part one, Silvie ....................................................................................................... 129 Part two, Van ......................................................................................................... 226 Part three, the collision ......................................................................................... 338 iii List of figures Figure 1 The Hensel sisters, http://www.windsorstar.com/entertainment from Cover of Life Magazine. 1996. /photos+conjoined+twins+over+years/74482 19/story.html#__federated=1 accessed Feb 20, 2015.

By presenting us with two distinct humans confined to one body, such twins rupture the boundaries of what it means to be human. Across the centuries conjoined twins have ranged from objects of worship, specimens of scientific interest, entertainment icons, and the subjects of horror films. Where does the truth lie between these representations? What is it like to be a conjoined twin? This thesis analyses real life biographies and fictional representations of conjoined twins throughout history, examining the gaps between their lived experience and their representation. The research informs the creative component of the thesis, a novella which follows two conjoined sisters who decide to undergo a surgical separation. The lens through which I perform this examination is informed by theorists with subversive ideas about

Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies. Globalisation has multiplied and accelerated inter-cultural, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious encounters, intentionally or not. In a world where time and place are increasingly compressed and interaction between East and West grows in density, numbers, and spread, East-West studies has gained a renewed mandate. LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature. Circulation of this series is free of charge. Comments should be addressed directly to authors. Abstracts of papers can be downloaded from the LEWI web page at http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/publications.html.

  • Mount Canobolas Fauna Survey
    MOUNT CANOBOLAS FAUNA SURVEY 24TH – 29th MARCH 2019 1 Introduction Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area The Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area (SCA) Draft Plan of Management begins with the following vision for this reserve: Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area is a sentinel in the landscape. It is a park valued, understood and protected by the community for its uniqueness, biodiversity, visitor experiences, and for the spiritual and cultural connections between people and this special place, now and into the future (OEH 2018). This iconic place is an extinct volcano rising to an altitude of 1397m asl and more than 500m above the surrounding central tablelands landscape. It has great significance for the local Wiradjuri custodians. The ecological values of this place are shaped by its high altitude, volcanic origins, isolation from similar geological formations and the extensive clearing of the surrounding landscape leaving it as a relatively isolated remnant of native vegetation. The presence of sub-alpine communities is particularly noteworthy (OEH 2018). The SCA incorporates an area of 1672 ha. The vegetation communities of the Mt Canobolas SCA have been broadly described and mapped with the following communities defined: 1. Eucalyptus macrorhyncha – E. dives: shrubby open forest and woodland (26% of the SCA) a. E. macrorhyncha dominant in more exposed sites b. E. dives dominant in less exposed sites 2. E. pauciflora – E. dalrympleana: Grassy woodlands and tall open forests (51% of the SCA) a. E. pauciflora – E. canobolensis grassy woodlands b. E. dalrympleana – E. viminalis tall open forests 3. Outcrop low open woodland (E. canobolensis – E. petroc?) and / or shrubs 4.

  • Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome: an Overview Richa Saxena1, Kanav Midha2
    REVIEW ARTICLE Twin-to-twin Transfusion Syndrome: An Overview Richa Saxena1, Kanav Midha2 ABSTRACT Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a severe problem that affects 10–15% of monochorionic (MC) multiple pregnancies. Connecting placental vessels on chorionic plate between donor and recipient twin is accountable for inequality of blood flow. There is an indication for the superiority of fetoscopic laser ablation over serial amnioreductions regarding survival and neurological outcome for stages II–IV TTTS. However, the optimal management of stage I is still debated. In this review, we discuss the basics of twin gestation, optimal management, pathophysiology, long-term neurodevelopmental outcome, and future aspects of TTTS.
