  • Index to Marrickville Heritage Society Inc Newsletter Issn 0818-0695
    INDEX TO MARRICKVILLE HERITAGE SOCIETY INC NEWSLETTER ISSN 0818-0695 Vol 1 No 1 June 1984 To Vol 25 No 10 June 2009 Compiled by Robert Thompson The first issue of Marrickville Heritage Society’s Newsletter appeared in June 1984, just a short time after the formation of the Society. That first issue boldly declared itself to be vol 1 no 1. That we are now able to present an index to Volumes 1 to 25 is due to the determination and skill of each of the editors and contributors who have continued to produce a publication of such high quality. An early decision taken by members of the Society was that it should be an active organisation, rather than a remote one where members would simply pay their subscriptions and leave all the work to a committee. Because of its superb program of activities it has become a true ‘society’. The resulting comradeship has seen members working together to preserve not only the built environment of Marrickville but, perhaps more importantly, our social history as well. The story of Marrickville’s people is a vibrant, ongoing one in which each of us continues to play a part. And while members’ research will uncover and document more of our past, the initiatives and activities of Marrickville Heritage Society will ensure its relevance to a wider society, encouraging the protection of our heritage into the future. The Newsletter records each of our excursions and the speakers – from within and outside the Society – who have entertained and informed us; the fascinating, the horrifying and the sometimes bizarre in Marrickville’s unique story.

  • Criminal Liability for Maritime Disasters Causing Death in Australian Territorial Waters
    YOU’RE A CROOK, CAPTAIN HOOK: CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR MARITIME DISASTERS CAUSING DEATH IN AUSTRALIAN TERRITORIAL WATERS ALEXANDER M MCVEY This thesis is presented for the Honours degree of Bachelor of Laws of Murdoch University. The author hereby declares that it is his own account of his research. 15,149 words (excluding title pages, table of contents, footnotes and bibliography) 2015 To Linda, who encouraged my curious mind, and to Matt and Leanne who still do. I am truly grateful to my supervisor, Dr Kate Lewins, for her guidance and support. ABSTRACT The world is seeing more maritime disasters every year, in a variety of jurisdictions around the world. Many of these disasters cause a large number of deaths. As a result of those deaths, there is often pressure on the relevant authorities to prosecute the parties responsible. The master of the vessel may be the most obvious party to charge, but there may have been other parties responsible for the operation and management of the vessel whose negligent or reckless conduct contributed to the vessel’s demise. Despite the contributions of other parties, the master of a vessel may become a scapegoat, and, as a result, bear the brunt of any prosecution. There are several reasons why the master may receive the most blame in these situations. One of those may be that the law in force within the relevant jurisdiction does not provide particular criminal charges that apply to parties other than the master. This paper asks whether Australian law encourages prosecuting bodies to scapegoat the master of a vessel and whether this is demonstrative of the wider problem of seafarer criminalisation worldwide.

  • Marriageability and Indigenous Representation in the White Mainstream Media in Australia
    Marriageability and Indigenous Representation in the White Mainstream Media in Australia PhD Thesis 2007 Andrew King BA (Hons) Supervisor: Associate Professor Alan McKee Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology Abstract By means of a historical analysis of representations, this thesis argues that an increasing sexualisation of Indigenous personalities in popular culture contributes to the reconciliation of non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australia. It considers how sexualised images and narratives of Indigenous people, as they are produced across a range of film, television, advertising, sport and pornographic texts, are connected to a broader politics of liberty and justice in the present postmodern and postcolonial context. By addressing this objective the thesis will identify and evaluate the significance of ‘banal’ or everyday representations of Aboriginal sexuality, which may range from advertising images of kissing, television soap episodes of weddings, sultry film romances through to more evocatively oiled-up representations of the pin- up-calendar variety. This project seeks to explore how such images offer possibilities for creating informal narratives of reconciliation, and engendering understandings of Aboriginality in the media beyond predominant academic concerns for exceptional or fatalistic versions. i Keywords Aboriginality Indigenous Marriageability Reconciliation Popular Culture Sexuality Relationships Interracial Public Sphere Mediasphere Celebrity ii Table of Contents Introduction ………………………………………………………………………….

  • Cloudland, Stronzoland, Brisbane: Urban Development and Ethnic Bildung in Venero Armanno’S Fiction
    CLOUDLAND, STRONZOLAND, BRISBANE: URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND ETHNIC BILDUNG IN VENERO ARMANNO’S FICTION Jessica Carniel Abstract The evolving urban landscape of Brisbane becomes a significant presence in Venero Armanno’s fiction, distinct from the often more documented sites of Sydney, Melbourne. The use of Brisbane as the setting for Armanno’s novels is significant in that this city, like the characters he creates within it, is often seen as being in search for its own culture and identity, having grown up in the shadow of the reputedly more cosmopolitan eastern coast capital cities of Sydney and Melbourne. Brisbane’s recovery from its somewhat shady past involving corrupt government and law enforcement echoes the journey upon which Armanno’s protagonists embark. Furthermore, Brisbane, especially the suburbs of New Farm and Fortitude Valley featured in Armanno’s works, acts as a symbolic Little Italy to which the protagonists might retreat in search of their ethnic beginnings. Questions of community and identity are intrinsic to the urban landscape through which the protagonist travels in their quest for Bildung . Focussing on the three of Armanno’s fictional works set in the city of Brisbane and using critical definitions of Bildung and the notion of ethnic Bildungsromane , this paper aims to examine the parallel development of the Italian Australian protagonists and their urban environments. Brisbane is so sleepy, so slatternly, so sprawlingly unlovely! I have taken to wandering about after school looking for one simple object in it that might be romantic, or appalling even, but there is nothing. It is simply the most ordinary place in the world.

  • What About Me?: Identity, Subjectivity and Reality TV Participation
    What about me? Identity, subjectivity and reality TV participation Winnie Salamon Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2010 School of Culture and Communication University of Melbourne 2 Abstract This thesis examines first person accounts of former reality television participants who have appeared on Australian versions of Big Brother , Australian Idol and The Biggest Loser . While scholars have researched audience responses to a wide range of reality shows, little research has been conducted on the participants themselves. My qualitative research study involving 15 semi-structured one-on-one interviews with reality TV participants addresses this gap, using these accounts to explore broader issues surrounding late modern identity and subjectivity. 3 Declaration This is to certify that 1. the thesis comprises only my original work 2. due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all material used 3. the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of bibliography Winnie Salamon 4 Table of Contents Acknowledgements Introduction 6 Chapter One 15 Reality TV and our collective selves: a history and review of the literature Chapter Two 52 Qualitative research and reflexivity: interviewing through an ethnographic gaze Chapter Three 77 ‘There’s no reality in reality TV’: performing the real in a ‘reality flavoured’ universe Chapter Four 110 What about me?
