  • Copertina Abstract
    ACKLAND Michael (James Cook University, QLD - Australia) [email protected] ‘On all fours passing, tintinnabulation’: Murray Bail’s Creative Case against the Imperial Word Throughout his long and acclaimed career, Murray Bail has interrogated the roots of Australian identity and dramatized the limitations of the nation’s common sense, empirical mind-set. This paper provides an overview of Bail’s project as it is expressed in his novels, as well as detailed illustration of the specifics of his case as refracted in his shorter fiction. Key texts for consideration include “The Partitions”, “Home Ownership”, “Camouflage”, “The Seduction of My Sister” and “A Rough Measurement of the Yard”. In essence, Bail focuses on the very Galilean/Cartesian “fracture” singled out in the conference description, and he repeatedly highlights the shortfalls of an instrumentalist, scientific approach to nature which seeks to know and dominate it through division, classification, concise definition and precise measurement. Instead he advocates imagination, audacious conceits and the free-play of words. Ultimately humanist and rationalist imperatives are reconciled in works which locate the potential for individual redemption not in abstruse systems or with much-vaunted reason, but in a wedding of the heart, intuition and the mind, which is best suited to overcome the constraining and putatively maiming hand of Western technological and theoretical knowledge. Bio Michael Ackland is the inaugural Colin and Margaret Roderick Professor of English at James Cook University, Townsville. He has published widely in the field of Australian Studies, and his writings cover the period from the First Settlement to the present day.
