Following an announcement of increased NSW Government funding by the Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Minister for the Arts Don Harwin commented, “Launching with Palm Beach is the perfect salute to great Australian filmmaking in a year that will showcase a bumper list of contemporary Australian stories, including 24 World Premieres.” “As one of the world’s longest-running film festivals, I’m delighted to build on our support for the Festival and Travelling Film Festival over the next four years with increased funding of over $5 million, and look forward to the exciting plans in store,” he said.

  • John Forbes's Poetry of Metaphysical Etiquette
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online Instruction for an Ideal Australian: John Forbes’s Poetry of Metaphysical Etiquette DUNCAN HOSE University of Melbourne I want to approach the work of John Forbes as being exemplary of a process which combines mythography and mythopoesis, or the constant re-reading and re-writing of the myths one lives by. The articles of concern here are both the personal mythemes that are aggregated by the individual subject in the business of identity construction, and the mass of national mythic capital that continually circulates, wanting to displace difference and coax the subject into a kind of sentimental symbolic citizenship. Forbes took very seriously the poststructuralist revolutions in epistemology and ontology, and his poetry is characterized by an intense scepticism about the capacity of language to represent the world properly, and an allied cynicism toward the products of self- mythologising, preferring the hedonism, and in a strange way the anxiety, of the de- centred subject licensed by postmodernism. I want to read here a few of Forbes’s poems as a possible charter for a new metaphysics, and perhaps a new kind of old-fashioned etiquette. As the title of this paper suggests, there is often some haranguing quality in this poet’s work: one is always being upbraided, or at least addressed; it is immediately a social poetry that does not function as a model of Romantic self-calibration, or subscribe to the self as an economic or philosophical unit, except sarcastically.

  • EDITORIAL by the Time You Read This Our Conference Will Be Over, and the Autumn Session of Meetings Will Be Well Under Way
    EDITORIAL By the time you read this our Conference will be over, and the Autumn session of meetings will be well under way. The Society continues to grow, and the various local groups are all flourishing. Various projects such as Census Indexing and M.I. Recording are proceeding, but more volunteers to assist in the work are always welcome. As mentioned in the last issue of the Journal, our Treasurer John Scott is retiring from the job after a stint of eight years, and in recognition of his long and devoted service he is to be made an Honorary Life Member of the Society. We were worried about finding a successor to take over from John, but fortunately a volunteer, Miss Cindy Winters, has come forward, and we wish her well in her new position. Liz Lyall, the prime mover in the organisation of our Annual Conferences, is also retiring, and we take this opportunity of thanking her for all the work she has put in to make our Conferences so successful. I trust that members will continue to submit articles and other items of interest for publication in the Journal. It is time we had a Durham parish in the `Know Your Parish' series: there have only been six (Medomsley, Heworth, Chester-le-Street, Washington, Tanfield and Hetton-le-Hole) since the series started more than eight years ago! So how about it, you Durham folk? NEWS IN BRIEF We Should've Listened to Grandma Dr Noeline Kyle, of the Faculty of Education, University of Wollongong, P.O.
