    John Willsteed N0090735 It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Humidity Developing a practice-based method for cultural history curation and dissemination Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Media, Entertainment and Creative Arts Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2017 John Willsteed - It's Not The Heat, It's The Humidity 1 ABSTRACT This research contributes new knowledge about the curation and presentation of cultural history. I tested relationships between curation and performance through the development of an interdisciplinary approach to capturing, storing and sharing the histories of subcultures or scenes, and the creation of a public performance centred around the Brisbane punk and post-punk music scene. The project contributes new understanding of how public stories about popular culture can be presented while simultaneously generating new knowledge about the culture itself. KEYWORDS Brisbane, punk, curation, performance STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution.
