    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

  • Statue Wars in Western Australia
    Public History Review Dark Pasts in the Landscape: Vol. 28, 2021 Statue Wars in Western Australia Jenny Gregory DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5130/phrj.v28i0.7504 Statues preserve the memory of leaders and heroes and transmit archetypal stories. They represent the past, often so far past that the values represented by the statue hold no meaning for passers-by. At times, however, statues evoke new memories that replace or build on the old.1 Then they become visible again, particularly in moments of crisis, when ‘they polarise public life by serving as lightning rods of social conflict’.2 When statues are removed it is as if they are being excised from history. In Eastern Europe, for example, statues tumbled as regimes collapsed after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the 1990s.

  • Representations of Innocence and Experience in the Novels of Robert Drewe and Tim Winton
    Representations of Innocence and Experience in the Novels of Robert Drewe and Tim Winton Hervé Cantero This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia The University of Western Australia School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline Group of English and Cultural Studies 2010 Abstract Traditionally associated with elements of the British literary canon such as William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the notions of innocence and experience are seldom encountered in Australian literature. This thesis seeks to demonstrate how these notions of innocence and experience are presented in Robert Drewe’s and Tim Winton’s fiction. After an examination of innocence and experience as perceived in the literary, philosophical and religious spheres in the first chapter, the geographical and sociocultural background for this thesis is described in detail in the second chapter: this section presents a summary of aspects of Australia’s and Western Australia’s histories of particular relevance to a study of the two authors’ works. The third chapter concentrates on Robert Drewe’s use of these two notions throughout his novels. The order of publication is eschewed in favour of a chronological axis designed around historically distinct subject matters. The author appears to prevent metaphysics from permeating his stories of men and women on a quest of their own, and he frequently juxtaposes points of view and narrative techniques in order to dig under the surface of unquestioned certainties. The fourth chapter of this thesis is a study of Tim Winton’s multilayered portrait of Western Australia’s land and people, with a fall from innocence to experience explored through the author’s specific spiritual sensibility.
