  • SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of Motherhood in Australian Films from 1900 to 1988
    SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of motherhood in Australian films from 1900 to 1988 CAROLINE M. PASCOE B.A. (Honours) M.A. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 1998 ii The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. CAROLINE MYRA PASCOE iii ABSTRACT Although the position of mothers has changed considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, an idealised notion of motherhood persists. The cinema provides a source of information about attitudes towards mothering in Australian society which is not diminished by the fact that mothers are often marginal to the narrative. While the study recognises that cinematic images are not unconditionally authoritative, it rests on the belief that films have some capacity to reflect and influence society. The films are placed in an historical context with regard to social change in Australian society, so that the images can be understood within the context of the time of the making and viewing of the films. The depictions of the mother are scrutinised with regard to her appearance, her attitude, her relationship with others and the expectations, whether explicit or implicit, of her role. Of particular significance is what happens to her during the film and whether she is punished or rewarded for her behaviour. The conclusions reached after analysis are used to challenge those ideas which assume that portrayals of motherhood are unchangeable and timeless.

NAME ORIGIN SIGNIFICANCE Ashworth Lane Olive Marie Commercial artist; textile designer; photographer Ashworth Olive Ashworth was a fabric designer, (1915–2000) photographer and illustrator in Australia between the 1930s and 1990s. She is recognised primarily for translating elements of Queensland’s natural landscape, and its flora and fauna, into graphic imagery and textile prints. She established ‘Olive Ashworth Publicity Services’ in 1945 and was later commissioned to design promotional brochures for many of Queensland's island resorts. Her designs contributed to the state being viewed as a vibrant, tropical tourist destination. By the early 1950s Ashworth was receiving recognition for textile design and in 1971, established ‘Indigenous Design of Australia’, producing furnishing and dress-making fabrics. Many of her designs were based on sketches and photographs of marine life and corals of The Great Barrier Reef which she documented from underwater observatories.

  • Women, Film, and Oceans A/Part: the Critical Humor of Tracey Moffatt, Monica Pellizzari, and Clara Law
    WOMEN, FILM, AND OCEANS A/PART: THE CRITICAL HUMOR OF TRACEY MOFFATT, MONICA PELLIZZARI, AND CLARA LAW by Alessandra Senzani A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2008 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study is the culmination of interests that developed in Italy and travelled with me through the Australian land, the Ohio snow, and the Floridian tropical sun where the final project ripened. The voices of many scholars, colleagues, friends, and family have made this research possible. Foremost, I owe my thanks to the professors who guided me through this journey. Dr. Freedman has served as a supportive chair and has first helped me polish my theoretical and analytical skills in film studies. Dr. Tamburri has been an academic mentor and his friendly advice and courses have been invaluable to my academic formation. Although through late encounters, I am greatly indebted to Dr. Hokenson for her passionate understanding of the comic and to Dr. Guneratne, whose far-reaching knowledge of Third and accented cinemas has enriched this study in too many ways to count. Many thanks go to all the friends whose laughter and food have nurtured and motivated me through the years in Boca Raton. My greatest debt I owe to my family; to my grandmother who imparted me stern respect for education, to my mother who has passed down to me her passion for global cinema and languages and to my father, who has been a supportive and critical reader of my work.
