  • Ethics of Representation and Self-Reflexivity: Nicolas Rothwell's
    Ethics of Representation and Self-Reflexivity: Nicolas Rothwell’s Narrative Essays STEPHANE CORDIER UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG Australian literature has been preoccupied, perhaps even obsessed, with representations of place and space. What started as a nationalising enterprise, an attempt to artificially cement place-making by substituting landscape for unknown space (Bennett 21), slowly gave rise to texts that interrogate settler colonial culture through spatial contestations. Yet, as Laurie Clancy argued in 1993, literary forms have proven resistant to decolonisation: ‘in the last two decades the self-conscious preoccupation with landscape among Australian fiction writers has become . debilitating and even self-destructive’ (49). The 1988 Bicentenary could be seen as a turning point in Australian history and culture. The array of festivities around the event may be interpreted as an orchestration of reified forms of settler-belonging to counter a rising intellectual opposition to a monolithic conceptualisation of history, art and culture; a last- ditch political effort from centric forms of power to re-assert traditional forms of belonging in the settler imaginary. But the Bicentenary also coincided with non-Indigenous Australian writers beginning to inscribe unbelonging at the heart of their fictions and non-fictions.1 Spatial crises, non-belonging and unbelonging are, increasingly, features of contemporary Australian literature, as demonstrated in the works of Michele de Kretser, Richard Flanagan, Ross Gibson, Christos Tsiolkas or Tim Winton (Cordier, ‘Intimate Immensities’). Non- Indigenous authors who grapple with settler identity in the twenty-first century are also in search of ethical literary forms that reflect a necessary erosion of settler dominance, privilege or class.

  • Australian Literature: Culture, Identity and English Teachingi
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online Australian literature: culture, identity and English teachingi ANNETTE PATTERSON Queensland University of Technology The development of the Australian Curriculum has reignited a debate about the role of Australian literature in the contexts of curricula and classrooms. A review of the mechanisms for promoting Australian literature including literary prizes, databases, surveys and texts included for study in senior English classrooms in New South Wales and Victoria provides a background for considering the purpose of Australian texts and the role of literature teachers in shaping students’ engagement with literature. In taking the pulse of Australian literature generally it is worth pausing to think about some of Australia’s literary prizes and their accompanying guidelines and criteria. Many texts set for study in classrooms first appear on our radar through these prize lists. One of the most prestigious and oldest awards is the Miles Franklin Award which commenced in 1957. The winner of that year was Patrick White for his novel Voss. In the 54 years since the prize was established it has been won by female writers on 12 occasions, including four-time winner Thea Astley. Given Thea Astley’s repeat performances, the prize has been awarded to nine individual female authors. Male authors have won the award on 39 occasions including repeat wins by Patrick White (2) Kim Scott (2) Alex Miller (2) Tim Winton (4) Thomas Keneally (2) and Peter Carey (3). Overall, the award went to 30 individual male authors.
