  • Emily O'grady Thesis
    Subverting the Serial Gaze: Interrogating the Legacies of Intergenerational Violence in Serial Killer Narratives Emily O’Grady Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) Creative Industries: Creative Writing and Literary Studies Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 1 Abstract This thesis subverts, disrupts and reimagines dominant narratives of fictional serial crime through a hybrid research paradigm of creative practice and critical analysis. The creative output of this thesis is an 80,000 word literary novel titled The Yellow House, accompanied by a 20,000 word critical exegesis. In the following, I argue that current fictional iterations of the serial killer literary genre are rigidly conservative, and remain fixed within the safe confines of genre conventions wherein the narrative bears little resemblance to how abject violence and the aftermath of serial crime plays out in real life. The broad framework of genre theory, accompanied by trauma theory, allows for an examination of the serial killer genre to identify the space in which my creative practice—an Australian, literary rendering of serial crime—fits as an extension and subversion of the genre. By reimagining the Australian serial killer narrative, I seek to challenge the reductive serial killer genre, and come to a potential offering of serial homicide that interrogates how the legacies of abject violence can be transmitted across generations. I do this by shifting the focus onto the aftermath of the crime and its numerous victims—in particular, the descendants of serial killers. The Yellow House presents a destabilising fictionalisation of serial crime that disrupts the conventions of the genre in order to contend with the complexity and instability of serial homicide.

  • Western Electric: a Survey of Recent Western Australian Electronic Music
    Edith Cowan University Research Online Sound Scripts 2005 Western Electric: A survey of recent Western Australian electronic music Lindsay Vickery Follow this and additional works at: https://ro.ecu.edu.au/csound Part of the Interdisciplinary Arts and Media Commons, and the Music Commons Refereed papers from the Inaugural Totally Huge New Music Festival Conference, This Conference Proceeding is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/csound/5 Western Electric: A survey of recent Western Australian electronic music Lindsay Vickery La Salle-SIA College of the Arts, Singapore Abstract This paper surveys developments in recent Western Australian electronic music through the work of a number of representative artists in a range of internationally recognised genres. The article follows specific cases of practitioners in the fields of Sound Art (Alan Lamb and Hannah Clemen), live and interactive electronics (Jonathan Mustard and Lindsay Vickery) and noise/lo-fi electronics (Cat Hope and Petro Vouris) and glitch/electronica (Dave Miller and Matt Rösner). Like all Australian states Western Australia has a comparatively large land mass which has developed a highly centralized population (over 75% of inhabitants) in its capital city Perth. As a result this paper is principally a survey of recent activity in Perth, rather than the whole state. Perth is also rather peculiar, being a medium-sized city (roughly 1.5 million) that is separated from other similarly sized centres by four to five hours by air. This paper will consider some of the possible effects of this isolation in the context of the development of a range of practices and methods in electronic music that reflect similar directions elsewhere in the world.

  • Prejudicial Publicity: Victoria and New South Wales Compared
    2018 Restraining ‘Extraneous’ Prejudicial Publicity 1263 RESTRAINING ‘EXTRANEOUS’ PREJUDICIAL PUBLICITY: VICTORIA AND NEW SOUTH WALES COMPARED JASON BOSLAND* This article explores the powers available to courts in Victoria and New South Wales to restrain the media publication of ‘extraneous’ prejudicial material – that is, material that is derived from sources extraneous to court proceedings rather than from the proceedings themselves. Three sources of power are explored: the power in equity to grant injunctions to restrain threatened sub judice contempt, the inherent jurisdiction of superior courts and, finally, statutory powers in New South Wales under the Court Suppression and Non-publications Orders Act 2010 (NSW) and in Victoria under the Open Courts Act 2013 (Vic). It argues that the approach of the Victorian courts is much broader in terms of the scope and application of orders, which potentially explains why orders restraining extraneous material are more commonly made in Victoria than in New South Wales. It further argues that the Victorian approach presents some significant consequences for publishers. I INTRODUCTION The right to a fair trial is ingrained in the common law.1 It is also recognised as a fundamental human right,2 and, in some jurisdictions, as an express constitutional guarantee.3 According to the law, one of the ways that the right to * Associate Professor, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne; Co-Director, Centre for Media and Communications Law (CMCL), University of Melbourne.

His murderous spree took place over a number of years in the early 1990s. While the film does show something of how Milat is thought to have operated and managed to escape detection for some years, the program is more concerned with the police enquiry (catching Milat); how the investigat- ing team were able to link his movements and behaviour to the murders through a meticulous process of gathering INTRODUCTION evidence and following up earlier leads. Catching Milat is a two-part drama based on the events surrounding the investigation that led to the arrest and conviction of serial killer Ivan Milat. Most characters play the roles of actual people, but certain events and charac- ters have been created or changed for dramatic effect. Incorporating stylised flashbacks and archival footage, Catching Milat is a television mini-series that returns viewers to a time when backpacking was a rite-of-pas- sage for young people eager to explore the world. Ivan Milat was arrested in 1994. Catching Milat is the story of the men who brought him to justice.

  • Belanglo State Forest
    Belanglo State Forest Lucien Alperstein Do we all have the same pasts? If not, do we all exist in the same present? The Belanglo State Forest is a non-native pine plantation surrounded by natural forest. It lies an hour and a half south of Sydney, just west-southwest of Bowral. The first introduced trees, radiata pines, were planted in 1919 (Primary Industries, 2012). I feel it’s common knowledge but just in case you weren’t aware, Ivan Milat is serving seven life sentences and another 18 years after being found guilty of killing seven hitchhikers and dumping their bodies in the Belanglo State Forest (Kennedy and Whittaker, 2001). Belanglo is synonymous with Milat and with misadventure at large. But beyond that dominant reading, Belanglo is a sensual portal back home for Polish and other Eastern European migrants in autumn and yet another stain on our European-Australian flag. 1. Dumping Ground. Belanglo State Forest is where people go to hide the bodies of hitchhikers they kill. Ask anyone. Tell someone you’re hitchhiking and they’ll say you’ll end up at Belanglo. Ron Fry picked me up just past seven in the morning, driving a white ute and wearing an orange hi-vis jacket. “Jesus, Ron!” said a voice over mobile phone loudspeaker. Ron had opened the door to the car and announced that he had just stopped for a hitchhiker. “He’s going to kill you.” “Not I’m not,” I replied. The three of us laughed, and my total physical contact with Ron amounted to one handshake at our meeting and one again at our parting.

    UTS: EXCELLENCE JUMBUNNA INDIGENOUS HOUSEIN OF INDIGENOUSLEARNING EDUCATION AND RESEARCH WELCOME Professor Michael McDaniel, Director Jumbunna Welcome to the fourth edition of Jumbunna’s Excellence in Indigenous Education and Research. At Jumbunna we have a vision to build a stronger society by placing Indigenous people in a position of strength. The key to that strength is education. Since 2011, we’ve taken international principles and national higher education objectives and brought them together in a single cohesive policy – a whole-of-university approach to Indigenous education where everyone has a role to play. And it’s having an impact. SUPPORTING INDIGENOUS STUDENTS TO LIVE In 2016, we recorded successes in almost all measurable areas of Indigenous activity at UTS.

  • An Examination of Serial Murder in Australia
    TRENDS & ISSUES in crime and criminal justice No. 346 September 2007 An examination of serial murder in Australia Jenny Mouzos and David West Building on earlier research undertaken at the Australian Institute of Criminology (Pinto & Wilson 1990), the current research explores the serial murder phenomenon in Australia using data collected as part of the Institute’s National Homicide Monitoring Program (NHMP). Results show that between July 1989 and June 2006, there were 11 groupings of serial murders identified in the NHMP, committed by 13 known serial murder offenders, with a total of 52 known victims. This represents one percent of the total number of homicides in Australia over a 17 year period. The paper reports on the characteristics of offenders and victims, including the offenders’ modus operandi. The analysis found that the profile of serial murder in Australia is similar to that found in international research. In at least two of the groups of serial murders the victims had been reported as missing ISSN 0817-8542 to police. It is important to note that the paper reports on known homicides. The paper suggests ISBN 978 1 921185 55 7 that further research on the profile of long term missing persons and serial murder victims should be undertaken as well as exploring offenders who commit multiple murders on separate occasions, to identify what prevented them (apart from law enforcement intervention) from committing GPO Box 2944 additional murders. Canberra ACT 2601 Toni Makkai Australia Director Tel: 02 6260 9272 Despite public fascination with, and interest in, the serial murder phenomenon, little research on Fax: 02 6260 9293 this topic has been undertaken in Australia.
