    Tasmanian Creativity and Innovation Tasmanian Historical Studies. Volume 8. No 2 (2003): 28-39. Rambling in Overdrive: Travelling Through Tasmanian Literature CA Cranston Two years ago I published an anthology of original and published writings about Tasmania titled Along these lines: From Trowenna to Tasmania1 — a mistake it turns out (as far as the title goes) as readers generally assume that Trowenna is some other place, rather than some other time. The idea was to situate various texts about Tasmania into context, so that when traveling the arterial highways of the heart- shaped island one was presented with stories and histories (time) that live on the sides of the road (place). This paper will address the theme of the conference (‘Originally Tasmanian. Creativity and Innovation in the Island State’) with a methodology similar to that ‘driving’ the anthology. It will examine the relationship between context (the origin) and text (the representation), and by implication, the relationship between natural and symbolic worlds. The ramble, which textually refers to the discursive — ideas, like automobiles, that ‘run about’ — will be accommodated, and as such will occasionally disrupt normal expectations of chronology, the historian’s purview. The motivation for the anthology came out of a need to experience at first hand niggling doubts about the textual construction of the island. I was a migrant so (in terms of the conference theme) I’m not ‘Originally Tasmanian’. I was living in a biotic community I knew nothing about and for which I had no language. I was presented with a textual culture I knew little about, and I was hungry for island stories.

  • Regional Myth in Michael Crummey's Galore and Richard Flanagan's

Specifically, I will look at how Michael Crummey’s Galore uses folklore to tell a founding story of Newfoundland – a place where the impulse to recover a lost past is still strong, and where efforts to do so contribute to the region’s dominant culture industry. In comparison, I address how Richard Flanagan’s Gould’s Book of Fish, in its retelling of the Tasmanian settler story, works to expose the myths of foundational and historical narratives and explore the impact that these forged narratives have on identity-formation in the present.

    Fishy Tales Mark Troy I would fill a great London gallery with these transmuted images, so that people who came to view my paintings would soon find themselves swimming in a strange ocean they could not recog- nize, & they would feel a Great Sorrow for who they were & a Great Love for who they were not & it would all be mixed up & all clear at the same time, & they would never be able to explain any of it to anybody. (Flanagan 385) For the next few pages, I will be speculating on certain slippery aspects of Richard Flanagan’s strange Gould’s Book of Fish, a recent yarn of attempted escape from one of the most dehumanizing im- perial British convict settlements, Sarah Island, Tasmania.1 Such speculation is useful when discussing current views of narrative form, since in this book (a novel in twelve fish), the very form — the linearity — of received narrative structure is seen by the protagonist — and by the frame narrator — as implicated in the ideology of em- pire.2 Gould’s escape from the confines of the island is explicitly an escape from the prison of class and ethnic definitions, enacted 171 textually as a line of flight through the conventions of narrative structure, which are seen as demonstrably geared to the conveyance of imperial British norms.3 This is to say that this funny little book embodies more than an energetic outburst of literary anarchy; in the pages to follow I will try to show that Gould’s slithering out of the narrative frame through various watery rhizomes — bull-kelp, sea-lettuce — into a different concept of self, of time and space is narratologically useful when seen through Deleuze and Guat- tari’s concept of becoming.

  • Shoot, Catalogue, Eat: Interacting with Nature at a Tasmanian Penal Station Abstract Introduction
    Shoot, Catalogue, Eat: Interacting with Nature at a Tasmanian Penal Station Richard Tuffin and Caitlin Vertigan The authors, 2020 Abstract This paper examines the fascinating – if slightly incongruous – links that the Port Arthur penal station (1830-1877) had to an active and influential globe-spanning network of naturalists, explorers and collectors. Particularly during the first two decades of the station‟s life, Port Arthur‟s denizens – both free and bond alike – partook in acts of collection and rudimentary analysis, driven by a desire to understand the natural world around them. Focusing on the figure of Thomas James Lempriere, an officer at the station between 1833 and 1848, this paper discusses how interactions with the natural world at the edge of Empire influenced – and continues to influence – the scientific world. Introduction This is a paper about science and history. It is particularly about how science – specifically those branches dealing with understanding the natural world – could be carried on in the unlikeliest of places. The pursuit of scientific understanding has taken place over the centuries in a myriad of strange or downright hostile locations: from the pitching deck of a survey ship, to the inhospitable climes of the Arctic or equatorial jungle. In the case of this paper, the pursuit of scientific knowledge took place in an environment purposefully designed by humans to be hostile. One where confinement and coercion was implemented with scientific exactitude, using the tools of wall, palisade, watch clock, iron and lash. It was the strangest of locations in which to find stories of scientific advancement. Yet, the place, for a period of time in the 1830s and 1840s, became inextricably tied to the great globe-spanning quest to unravel the mysteries of the natural world.

  • The Myth of Certainty and the Matrix of Uncertainty: Five Contemporary Australian Novels Confront History
    The Myth of Certainty and the Matrix of Uncertainty: Five Contemporary Australian Novels Confront History by Charles Scott Nesbitt A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 7, 2021 Keywords: Historiographic Metafiction, British Literature, Contemporary British and Antipodean Novels, Australia, Postmodernism, Postcolonialism Copyright 2021 by Charles Scott Nesbitt Approved by Dr. Jon Bolton, Chair, Department of English Dr. Alicia Carroll, Department of English Dr. Ernest L. Gibson III, Department of English Dr. Chris Keirstead, Department of English Dr. Rupali Mishra, Department of History Abstract The intersection of postcolonialism and historiographic metafiction can be seen in novels written over the last several decades by British and Antipodean authors concerning the British colonial era in Australia and its aftermath. Novels from this sub-group of writers of historiographic metafiction fit both Linda Hutcheon’s description of historiographic metafiction and some of the concerns of postcolonial writers and theorists, as they revisit the colonial era and critique or reassess the historiographic writings that helped galvanize pro-colonial perspectives and marginalize and dehumanize the Indigenous communities there. While there is much scholarship on historiographic metafiction and postcolonialism, this volume focuses on the specific nexus of those two concepts and its coalescence in contemporary Australian novels of the colonial and postcolonial experience. The novels covered in this volume—by Peter Carey, Matthew Kneale, Rachel Leary, Richard Flanagan, and Alexis Wright—share an interest in 19th Century Australia, the violence and injustice that were an inescapable part of the foundation of the country during that period, and the potential dubiousness of historical documentation.

This thesis examines published convict life-narratives of Van Diemen’s Land. I analyse eighteen self-referential accounts of convictism, written by male transportees and published in Britain, Ireland, America or Australia during the nineteenth century. I scrutinise how convict authors gained access to public autobiographical space and how they negotiated an authoritative speaking position within that space. My approach follows the precedent of autobiography theorists like Gillian Whitlock, Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson, who encourage readers of life-narrative to understand self-referential writing as an historically situated conversation between the personal and the public.
