Deconstruction Sites: An Interpretive Case Study of the Design of the Emerging Cultural Landscape. Vince Dziekan Position Statement Monash University In response to the call to “address the emerging context, which acknowledges that in recent years, media and information-technology shifts have changed the cultural landscape of design and designing”, this paper will contribute to the discourse of design’s fluid interrelationship with cultural activity and production by focussing on the resulting formation of art, new technology and the design of its institutions. If art since the advent of Modernism can be characterized by any single quality it would have to be its diversity… however, across the breadth of such aesthetic and stylistic difference remains its common, primary destination: the Museum.

  • Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”
    Ned Kelly’s Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose” Dr. Stuart E. Dawson ∗ (Monash University) Abstract: It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. This is a key part of a prevalent Kelly mythology that has been subject to little serious critique. Yet the attribution of the phrase ‘Such is life’ to Kelly is pure fiction. Analysis of the reportage of the day reveals Kelly’s actual last words, and explains how they were transmuted by one journalist into the catchy expression quoted as fact by many historians. It shows that the image of Kelly standing tall and defiant, saying ‘Such is life’ as the rope was placed around his neck, is nothing but a highly romanticised myth. In fact, Kelly came to an ignominious, mumbling end on the scaffold, a far cry from popular legend. Keywords: Ned Kelly, Edward Kelly, Kelly Gang, Ned Kelly facts, Ned Kelly bushranger, Ned Kelly museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, famous last words. It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. 1 To television producer, Paul Terry, “the fatalistic and courageous ‘Such is life’ has become synonymous with Ned and everything he stood for”. 2 The claim has been relayed in Australian history texts and is commonly taught as fact to school children. 3 In Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel True History of the ∗ I wish to thank Sharon Hollingsworth for her valuable input and detailed discussion throughout the writing of this article, and Caroline Oxley of the Victoria Police Museum for copies of several historic documents.
