DINGO MEDIA? R v Chamberlain as model for an Australian media event Belinda May Middleweek BA (Hons 1st class) Sydney A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Sydney March 2007 As surely as Azaria was taken by a real dingo, the Chamberlains were taken down by a pack of baying journalistic dingoes and their publishers – the Adelaide News, the Sydney Sun, and the Murdoch press.

Considering the case as a blueprint for the way mass media events develop and evolve in the late capitalist era, this thesis suggests that the event marks a turning point in negotiation of the public sphere and Australian national identity. Using an original model, I trace from the 1980s five phases through which news stories pass in their evolution as modern media events by comparing the Chamberlain saga to contemporary cases involving “controversial” women, Schapelle Corby, Joanne Lees and Pauline Hanson. The first phase examines the emerging practice of news workers focusing on personalities rather than events; the second phase analyses both the formation of counter-publics protesting the conviction, and the development of a dialogic connection between media and publics; the third phase investigates the rise of a modern celebrity industry promoting “ordinary” individuals into subjects of media discourse; the fourth phase considers the process of mythic production surrounding the Chamberlain case as related to processes of nation-building in the late 1980s; finally, the fifth phase critiques the prevalent view that, through continual retelling, the event has suffered a loss of meaning. Axiomatic to this study will be the politics of representation, how the media records, organises and mythologises information, as well as the interaction between texts and audiences. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Even before I began writing this thesis, I had a list of people I wanted to thank. In view of the agony and the ecstasy of the last five years, I wish to give my appreciation to the following: Heather Craven at the Audit Bureau of Circulations for access to circulation data on a range of Australian publications and rendering assistance through email correspondence; David Chan from the State Library of New South Wales; the staff in the Petherick Room at the National Library in Canberra for their assistance with the Chamberlain Manuscript Collection and Simon Drake from the National Film and Sound Archive who gave up hours of his time obtaining and copying news archives on the Chamberlains. Thank you also to Belinda Winnall from Network Ten for assistance with copyright and the staff in archives at Channel Nine. Fiona Crago and Mark Slattery from Beyond Distribution deserve a special mention for providing, in relation to the mini-series Through My Eyes (2004), media kits, DVDs, television ratings data, scene stills and the permission to reproduce these items in my thesis. In interlibrary loans at the University of Sydney, I would like to thank Rod Dyson, the “tracker” Bruce Isaacs who could find both the obscure and the mundane with a smile, and my librarian extraordinaire and next-door neighbour Gail Pryor, who always rendered assistance at the last minute returning overdue library books and provided much warm encouragement. Also thanks to Kristen Davis and Belinda Morrissey from the Australian National University who provided friendship, intellectual support and engrossing conversation at the 25th Anniversary Chamberlain conference. To my first supervisor, Associate Professor Helen Fulton, thank you for your encouragement, assistance with an initial thesis outline and a wonderful tour of the Cambridge campus. Thank you also to Associate Professor Catharine Lumby for finding time in your hectic schedule to provide emergency supervision; I have always admired your work and am truly grateful for the chaperoning. To Brigid Rooney my primary supervisor, who believed that if the Socceroos could qualify for the World Cup, then anything was possible, thank you for your nurturing and emotional sustenance I derived so much from our meetings. I would like to thank director Tony Cavanaugh for giving up his time to speak with me about production of the mini-series, also Chamberlain advocate, Zillah Williams for her correspondence and biochemist, Dr David Tomlinson for agreeing to be interviewed. In particular, I would like to express my warmest thanks to Michael Chamberlain and his family for their hospitality and assistance with material for this thesis. To my cousin, Martyn – your suggestions and observations were received heartfelt – thank you for giving up so much of your time to proofread. Thanks also to my precious girlfriends for their understanding and support: Jaz, Phoe, Lee, Lys and Bec were always on the other end of the phone; my dad, “the boys” Hamish and Max, my partner Chris for his forbearance, love and patience and finally my mum – “the force that through the green fuse drives the flower” – who gave up so much of her time and supported me tirelessly throughout, this thesis is dedicated to you. As Albert Schweitzer once said: “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us”. To all those who have lit my flame (and you know who you are) I express my sincerest gratitude.

    Miles Davis, Tutu

    Gilbert DUPUIS Guitariste, titulaire du D.E.de jazz, professeur certifié d’éducation musicale Miles Davis, Tutu Inscrire Miles Davis au programme du baccalauréat est une façon officielle de rendre enfin hommage à une figure légendaire du jazz, peut-être la plus haute, et, de surcroît, à l’une des plus grandes stars de la musique afro-américaine. Avec cet album, il s’impose également d’évoquer les nouvelles technologies et la musique programmée, singularité dans l’œuvre du trompettiste. Cet article propose une vaste étude de la musique de Miles Davis et de ses contemporains. Les principaux courants sont présentés depuis le be-bop jusqu’au doo-bop, via la période électrique. Suit un avant-propos de l’ensemble de l’album Tutu, avant de se concentrer dans le détail à l’analyse musicale des trois morceaux imposés (Tutu, Tomaas, Portia). Préambule peintre (au sens propre comme au sens figuré), « coloriste », « architecte » des sons, « sculpteur », e « L’histoire du jazz au 20 siècle est aussi variée, « conteur », « poète » de la trompette, « Miles » s’est complexe, voire profuse, que la musique dite essayé, on ne peut dire à tous les courants, mais à sérieuse ; des liens qui les unissent existent pourtant, la plupart des styles ouvrant à la modernité qu’il souvent plus resserrés, intenses et intimes qu’on a très fréquemment impulsés.
