This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Griffith University Faculty of Arts School of Arts, Media and Culture August 2003 Statement of Authorship This work has never been previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this dissertation contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the dissertation itself. Abstract This thesis contains a detailed academic analysis of the complete rise and fall of Christopher Skase and his Qintex group mirage. It uses David Harvey’s ‘Condition of Postmodernity’ to locate the collapse within the Australian political economic context of the period (1974-1989). It does so in order to answer questions about why and how the mirage developed, why and how it failed, and why Skase became the scapegoat for the Australian corporate excesses of the 1980s. I take a multi-disciplinary approach and consider corporate collapse, corporate regulation and the role of accounting, and corporate deviance. Acknowledgments I am very grateful to my principal supervisor, Dr Anthony B. van Fossen, for his inspiration, advice, direction, guidance, and unfailing encouragement throughout the course of this study; and for suggesting Qintex as a case study.

  • 'Nothing Has Ever Come Within Cooee': Ben-Hur Down Under Ca. 1900

    'Nothing Has Ever Come Within Cooee': Ben-Hur Down Under Ca. 1900

    . Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 ‘Nothing has ever come within cooee’: Ben-Hur down under ca. 1900 Barbara Therese Ryan, National University of Singapore, Singapore Abstract: A photographer can take a picture randomly. But when people are posed in odd formations, then photographed from an unusual angle, analysts have cause to infer a message that someone wished to send. In a photograph taken in 1904, 15 km from Sydney, the message concerned self- and other-control. The vehicle for this message was audiencing of a site- specific assemblage of the best-selling historical romance Ben-Hur (1880); a spectacular – but controversial – stage-version of this Holy Land crowd-pleaser; reception of both in Australia, the U.S. and England; and the slur, ‘wild colonial.’ By probing visual and verbal indicia, I reconstruct the message and identify the dancing-master who devised it by teaching his middle-class young adult students the Ben Hur Chariot Dance. My findings augment research on audiencing, on visual fan studies, and on theatre history. In addition, my findings enhance knowledge of receptions of Ben-Hur over its first 20 years, and of popular art generally, by adding memories’ role. Where do memories come in? Most visually, in the photograph’s documentation of an audience for “Professor” Edward Evans’s dance. Strong in these watchful elders’ memories, I contend, was Sydney’s furor for the Ben- Hur stage-show.

I seek to locate their novels in the critical context which encouraged their problematisation of history and explore the political and philosophical influences which led to this problematisation. I argue that scepticism about realism as a literary form was extended to historical narrative in Carey's case and that Malouf's scepticism springs from his more radical doubts about the capacity of language to adequately represent the world. The treatment of history in the work of these novelists is analysed as a process which varies according to specific novels and which becomes a less important emphasis as strategies for casting doubt on history's truth claims become conventional in themselves.

He had heard that his son, Stan, had been killed at Gallipoli while storming Turkish trenches. “The suspense”, he said, “is awful”. In fact Stan survived Gallipoli and served on the Western Front where he wrote home from Pozières in August 1916 that “it was a particular Hell”. Two weeks later he was dead, killed in the battle of Mouquet Farm, at Pozières. The Suspense is Awful exhibition at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) examines the war’s impact on Tasmanians during and after the war.

The annual journal, launched in 1992 by Professor John Henningham, was published by the Department of Journalism, University of Queensland, until 2000. It did not appear in 2001, except as an incorporation in the older title, Australian Journalism Review. Because Professor Henningham was going on study leave in 2001 and because the Department of Journalism was becoming part of a School of Journalism and Communication, he decided to offer it to the Journalism Education Association (JEA).
