(WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors. -

Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy. -

Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships Samstag
The Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships samstag ’95 The 1995 Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships samstag University of South Australia ’95 samstag Mehmet Adil Marika Borlase Catherine Brennan Kate Daw Ruth Fazakerley Susan Fereday Matthÿs Gerber Marcia Lochhead Sue Saxon Lucy Turner Megan Walch Foreword his publication witnesses the achievement of eleven artists who were Tawarded Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships, tenable for twelve-months of study overseas, commencing from 1995. These nine women and two men are beneficiaries of Gordon Samstag’s vision to level the playing field for Australian artists, whom he knew to be as good as their international peers, but restricted unreasonably by geographic isolation. Consequently, this third group of Samstag Scholars will soon be embarking on lengthy and enviable creative adventures in New York, Utrecht, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Glasgow and Dundee. Following the good news of their award, the preparations which “Samstagers” must make to secure their overseas study opportunity are, invariably, complex and taxing. For example, while under no obligation to enrol in formal degree courses, their project must nevertheless demonstrate a full commitment to studio practice under the bona fides of an appropriate institution. Negotiations for acceptance into a preferred institution can be arduous and slow. While concerned primarily with artistic development and enrichment, the Samstag experience is thus distinguished also by endeavour and Matthÿs GERBER self-reliance. Moreover, when confronted L'Origine du Monde #1 1992 oil on canvas directly by the formidable dimensions 200 x 300 of international contemporary art, scholarship recipients may discover, beneficially, that their own indigenous artistic character is distinct and viable. -

Beyond Nostalgia: Writing the History of Children's Media Culture
Beyond nostalgia: writing the history of children’s media culture This short paper is based on a presentation I gave as part of a workshop at Copenhagen University in late 2014. I try to make the case for a historical approach to studying children’s media, but also point to some pitfalls and dilemmas. Several years ago, the BBC produced a short video to promote its children’s programming. It was largely an exercise in nostalgia, aimed not so much at children themselves, but at their parents. The video featured a young boy, dressed in old- fashioned school uniform, walking us through the history of children’s television since the 1950s – a seamless collection of images and clips that older adult viewers would be bound to recognise. Meanwhile, the commentary told a story about national identity, education and childhood that harked back, with some gentle irony, to a pastoral golden age. I wrote about this video at some length in the introduction to my book Small Screens: Television for Children (2002), and I was intrigued – although not surprised – to find a copy of it on a YouTube channel called ‘Cult Kids TV Corner’.1 There is a great deal at stake in the history of children’s media, and in how we tell that history, not only for academics, but for a much wider audience. Yet in the UK more recently, a rather different version of that history has emerged, with the revelation that several of the best-loved children’s TV entertainers of the 1960s and 1970s were predatory paedophiles. -
