  • A Life of Thinking the Andersonian Tradition in Australian Philosophy a Chronological Bibliography
    own. One of these, of the University Archive collections of Anderson material (2006) owes to the unstinting co-operation of of Archives staff: Julia Mant, Nyree Morrison, Tim Robinson and Anne Picot. I have further added material from other sources: bibliographical A Life of Thinking notes (most especially, James Franklin’s 2003 Corrupting the The Andersonian Tradition in Australian Philosophy Youth), internet searches, and compilations of Andersonian material such as may be found in Heraclitus, the pre-Heraclitus a chronological bibliography Libertarian Broadsheet, the post-Heraclitus Sydney Realist, and Mark Weblin’s JA and The Northern Line. The attempt to chronologically line up Anderson’s own work against the work of James Packer others showing some greater or lesser interest in it, seems to me a necessary move to contextualise not only Anderson himself, but Australian philosophy and politics in the twentieth century and beyond—and perhaps, more broadly still, a realist tradition that Australia now exports to the world. Introductory Note What are the origins and substance of this “realist tradition”? Perhaps the best summary of it is to be found in Anderson’s own The first comprehensive Anderson bibliography was the one reading, currently represented in the books in Anderson’s library constructed for Studies in Empirical Philosophy (1962). It listed as bequeathed to the University of Sydney. I supply an edited but Anderson’s published philsophical work and a fair representation unabridged version of the list of these books that appears on the of his published social criticism. In 1984 Geraldine Suter published John Anderson SETIS website, to follow the bibliography proper.

  • Textual Archaeology: a Contextual Reading of The
    TEXTUAL ARCHAEOLOGY: A CONTEXTUAL READING OF THE 1942 NURI MASS THESIS ON VIRGINIA WOOLF by Suzanne Bellamy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sydney March 2018 Abstract My thesis recovers, reads and contextualises a long-lost early Australian thesis on Virginia Woolf submitted by University of Sydney MA student Nuri Mass in 1942. Through its careful reading and contextualisation, my thesis aims to reveal the significance of the Mass thesis for both contemporary Woolf studies (early textual readings) and consequently for transnational modernist studies at large, also producing new, fine-grained insights into the 1930s Australian context for Woolf’s reception and Australian engagement with literary modernism. I will contend that the Nuri Mass thesis was written at, and fundamentally shaped by, a pivotal transition in the reception of Woolf’s writing, marking a shift in Woolf’s place in the literary modernist canon following her death, the rupture presented by world war, and the rise of Leavisite canon formation. Likewise my analysis of the Mass thesis sheds new light on academic, institutional and cultural contexts of 1930s Australian modernism. In addition to the Mass thesis itself, previously unexplored contextual manuscript and documentary materials are introduced, opening new lines of enquiry in the field of transnational/Australian modernism. ii The thesis is dedicated to Nuri Mass and Ruth Gruber iii Acknowledgements For guidance and support through this long process I wish to thank my supervisors Emeritus Professor Elizabeth Webby and Dr Brigid Rooney, for inspiration, acute insightful editing and commitment to the long haul.

  • Arthur Alexander Banning - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Arthur Alexander Banning - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Arthur Alexander Banning(27 June 1921 - 2 November 1965) Arthur Alexander (Lex) Banning was an Australian lyric poet. Disabled from birth by cerebral palsy, he was unable to speak clearly or to write with a pen. "Yet he overcame his handicap to produce poems which were often hauntingly beautiful and frequently ironic, and gave to other, younger poets a strong sense of the importance and value of their calling". Such younger poets included Clive James, Les Murray and Geoffrey Lehmann. <b>Early Life</b> <b>A note on sources</b> By good fortune, one of Banning's closest friends was the late Richard Appleton ("Appo"), a bohemian writer and raconteur who met the poet in Sydney's Lincoln coffee lounge, about 1950. Appleton later became editor-in-chief of the Australian Encyclopaedia and, in 1983, was co-editor with Alex Galloway of the posthumous Banning collection There Was a Crooked Man which includes reliable biographical information. In writing this, Appleton received the benefit of access to a collection of letters in the possession of Dr Anne Banning. <b>Birth and disability</b> Lex Banning was born on 27 June 1921 in Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, son of Arthur Antoine Banning, a waiter from Belgium who later became a theatre proprietor, and his native-born wife Helma Louise, née Hall, of Scots and Swedish descent. As a result of a difficult birth, the infant suffered from athetoid cerebral palsy, a spastic condition against which he was to struggle all his life.

  • Chapter 11 the Sydney Disturbances
    Chapter 11 The Sydney Disturbances URING the twenty years from 1965, the philosophy depart- ment at Sydney University was rent by a series of bitter left- Dright disputes. Such fights — or rather, the same fight in many instantiations — were common enough in humanities depart- ments in the period. The unique virulence of the one at Sydney, which eventually led to a split into two departments, was due not only to the strength of the left, which was a frequent occurrence elsewhere, but to the determination not to give way of the leading figures of the right, David Armstrong and David Stove. Armstrong and Stove, as we saw in chapter 2, were students of John Anderson in the late 1940s, and ones of unusually independent mind. Armstrong had early success. He went for postgraduate work to Oxford, where the linguistic philosophy then current made only a limited impression on his Andersonian interest in the substantial questions of classical philosophy. He recalled attending a seminar by the leading linguistic philosophers Strawson and Grice. Grice, I think it was, read very fast a long paper which was completely unintelligible to me. Perhaps others were having difficulty also because when the paper finished there was a long, almost religious, hush in the room. Then O.P. Wood raised what seemed to be a very minute point even by Oxford standards. A quick dismissive remark by Grice and the room settled down to its devotions again. At this point a Canadian sitting next to me turned and said, ‘Say, what is going on here?’ I said, ‘I’m new round here, and I don’t know the rules of this game.

  • Emeritus Professor Donald Richmond Horne AO
    Emeritus Professor Donald Richmond Horne AO The degree of Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) was conferred upon Emeritus Professor Donald Richmond Horne at the Arts ceremony held at 11.30am on 29 April 2005. Citation Chancellor, I have the honour to present Emeritus Professor Donald Richmond Horne AO for admission to the degree of Doctor of Letters (honoris causa). Donald Horne was educated at Maitland, Parramatta and Canterbury High Schools and enrolled in a BA at Sydney University in 1939. His days at the University are vividly recounted in the first volume of his memoirs The Education of Young Donald (1967). Professor Horne threw himself headlong into student life, joining the Freethought Society, becoming sub-editor of Hermes and editor of Honi Soit. War meant he never completed his degree, although his participation in active service was curtailed by a training accident. In 1944, while training as a diplomatic cadet in Canberra, he began to write for Sydney newspapers. In 1945 he finally abandoned diplomacy for journalism, working full time for the Frank Packer media empire, largely writing for the Telegraph. In 1949, however, he travelled to Britain in the hope of becoming a novelist; living the life of a country gentleman, dabbling in local Tory politics, writing occasional journalism (at one point becoming a golf feature writer, a game about which he knew very little) and working on his novels. In 1954 Sir Frank Packer enticed Professor Horne back to Australia with an offer to edit the magazine Weekend, published from 1954 to 1961. Horne used the success of Weekend to persuade Packer to establish a serious literary, social and political periodical The Observer (1958-61), a breeding ground for a generation of prominent Sydney writers, political analysts and cultural commentators.
