  • A Self-Guided Tour Dear Friend
    A Self-Guided Tour Dear Friend: Welcome to the Michigan State Capitol. We are delighted you have taken the time to visit us and tour this historic landmark. Today Michigan’s Capitol is nationally recognized for its extraordinary architecture and art. It stands as Michigan’s most important historic building and a proud symbol of the state. Sadly, this was not always the case. For decades the building’s history and beauty were threatened by years of weathering, neglect, crowding, hard use, and technological change. In 1987, the Michigan Legislature established the Michigan Capitol Committee and charged it with overseeing a landmark restoration of the aging building. Begun in 1989 and completed in 1992, the restoration won national acclaim with top awards from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In 1992, the National Park Service also named the Capitol a National Historic Landmark, an award reserved only for America’s most important historic places. Although widely honored for its authentic restoration, the Capitol did not become a museum. Instead, it remains a dynamic, living building, fully prepared to honor its past while serving the people of Michigan as a modern and efficient seat of state government. On January 1, 1879, a magnificent new Capitol was dedicated to the people of Michigan. Speaking at its dedication, Governor Croswell noted that the structure stood as “evidence of the lasting taste, spirit and enterprise” of the citizens of the state. In November 1992, more than 113 years later, another celebration took place, marking both the successful conclusion of the Capitol’s restoration and its rededication to at least another 100 years of service to Michigan.

  • The Sentient House in Australian and Canadian Literature, and Five Floors of Basement: a Novel
    “The Architecture of Bad Dreams”: The Sentient House in Australian and Canadian Literature, and Five Floors of Basement: A Novel Suzette Mayr A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences December 2016 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Mayr First name: Suzette Other name/s: Rosel Vernita Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Arts and Media Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: “The architecture of bad dreams”: the sentient house in Australian and Canadian literature, and five floors of basement: a novel Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The “sentient house” is a sub-category of the “haunted house” literary genre that has received little creative or critical attention in Australia or Canada. Using four examples of Australian and Canadian “sentient house” literature – Joan Lindsay’s Picnic at Hanging Rock, Vivienne Cleven’s Her Sister’s Eye, Daniel David Moses’ Big Buck City, and Andrew Pyper’s The Guardians – the research dissertation examines the ways in which Australian and Canadian writers have “renovated” the Euro-American sentient house genre within their respective national contexts. For example, writers such as Pyper and Cleven import the Euro-American trope of the “haunted castle” into their work, but challenge the normative assumptions associated with race and/or gender inherent in most Euro-American gothic horror narratives. Alternatively, Lindsay’s and Moses’ texts reveal the subversive qualities that a sentient house can have in its material aspects such as its building materials and faulty construction.
