  • An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature
    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.

  • Catalogue of Tsunamis in the Eastern Mediterranean from Antiquity to Present Times
    Catalogue of Tsunamis in the Eastern Mediterranean from Antiquity to Present Times J. ANTONOPOULOS Received on June 14th, 1979 ABSTRACT This paper presents a systematic compilation of all data pertaining to tsunamis observed or recorded in the Eastern Mediterranean from antiquity to present times (1500 b.C. to 1980 a.D.). The first catalogue has been published by Prof. N.N. Ambraseys in the "Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America" (Vol. 52, No 4, October 1962) and this has formed the skeleton of this paper. All of the available information has been compiled from historical accounts, newspaper archives, other reports, and recent mareographic data. The earthquake data have been extracted from the Seismological Institute of Athens and relative biblio- graphy. Most of the events listed are associated with earthquakes, but some are the result of volcanic activity . Many of the tsunamis have been generated along the coast of Greece, Albania, South Yugoslavia, Turkey, Syria and Israel. There is little doubt that the large conjugate fault system along, the west coast of Greece, Crete and Rodos till the south coast of Turkey is often responsible for the earthquakes in this area and most of tsunamis in the Eastern Mediterranean. 114 J. ANTONOPOULOS RIASSUNTO In questo lavoro è stata fatta una raccolta sistematica di tutti i dati relativi agli tsunamis osservati o registrati nel Mediterraneo orientale dall'antichità ad oggi (1500 a.C. al 1980 d.C.).
