  • Stephen Harrington Thesis
    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.

  • Novel, Suburb, Cosmos
    The View from Above from Below: Novel, Suburb, Cosmos Brigid Rooney HROUGH CONVERGENT TECHNOLOGIES OF CAMERA AND FLIGHT, THE VIEW FROM ABOVE directs the opening chapter of The Australian Ugliness (1960), Melbourne- T based Robin Boyd’s famous critique of urban and suburban aesthetic forms. By 1960, such aerial vision was nothing new, but the arrival in 1956 of the Boeing jet meant air-travel was about to eclipse the sea voyage, conquering what Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey famously termed ‘the tyranny of distance’, and ushering in the era of mass tourism. This development naturalised and popularised an aesthetics of panorama that also organises the representation of suburbia. Boyd re-stages the aerial view successively. The visitor’s first approach to Australia is from the north. Moving from Darwin to Bourke, the visitor crosses over country ‘burnt brown and patchy, like a tender sunburnt skin, with sections of darker brown and blood red and blisters of lighter ochre’; his camera-eye view takes in the ‘red backland of Australia’ which ‘looks from the air satisfyingly like its own maps’ (Boyd 18). The arrival of Boyd’s hypothetical visitor, as noted, is staged twice, in the second instance tracking the plane’s approach ‘from across the Pacific’ over 1950s pre- Opera-House Sydney. From the long high view, urban Australia presents a vision of ‘continuity, unity and the promise of comfort in the mushroom roofs and the bright background of tended green’. Momentarily, suburban sprawl figures the ‘love of home’, with ‘great speckled carpets spread wide around every © Australian Humanities Review 60 (November 2016).

  • Senate Submission
    Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee Jacinda Woodhead Editor, Overland magazine VU – Footscray Park Campus PO Box 14428 Melbourne VIC 8001 17 July 2015 Dear Committee Secretary and Members, I edit one of Australia’s oldest literary magazines, Overland, founded in 1954 by Stephen Murray-Smith. Overland has a long and distinguished history, and it’s list of published authors reads like a catalogue of influential Australian writers, from Patrick White, Frank Hardy and Dorothy Hewett to Peter Carey, Alexis Wright and Christos Tsiolkas. Overland’s mission is to foster new, original and progressive work exploring the relationship between politics and culture, especially literature, and to bring that work to as many people as possible. In its sixty-first year of publication, Overland continues to be artistically vibrant, making significant contributions to Australian cultural life on a daily basis. Much of Overland’s current success has been enabled by the infrastructure the organisation has been able to build over the years through subscriber, philanthropic and government support, including the critical funding the Australia Council has offered the magazine at the various stages of its existence. Overland publishes four print issues of 96 pages a year, each edition consisting of original fiction, poetry, nonfiction and artwork of the highest standard. Recent editions have included work by Germaine Greer, Cate Kennedy, Rodney Hall, Alexis Wright, Christos Tsiolkas and Alison Croggon. Overland is also committed to finding new talent: writers whose early work featured in the journal include Nam Le, Jennifer Mills, Stephen Amsterdam, Ali Alizadeh, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Anwen Crawford (who has started recently writing for the New Yorker) and artist Megan Cope.

  • Colonising Time, Recollecting Place: Steven Carroll's Reinvention Of
    Colonising time, recollecting place: Steven Carroll’s reinvention of suburbia BRIGID ROONEY University of Sydney Australian suburbs—like suburbs elsewhere1—are attracting renewed scholarly attention during the latest phase of urban transformation. As work by Fiona Allon (2008), Amanda Wise (2010) and others shows, the lived experience, spatial contours and cultural demographics of contemporary suburbia are in flux. It is no coincidence that representations of suburbia are also changing in character and detail, as seen in recent literary fiction. Christos Tsiolkas’s The Slap (2008), for instance, reinvents suburban terrain precisely through its engagement with Australia’s diversifying demography and changing urban/suburban modes, in turn conditioned by global capitalism’s fluid and precarious present, in what Zygmunt Bauman influentially terms ‘liquid modernity’ (Bauman 1-15). Yet literary critics and scholars of Australian literature are yet to move far from what has been, since the 1990s, a governing focus on an anti-suburban literary tradition. Critics have used ‘pro- or anti-suburbia’ as the key—if not sole—rubric for reading fictions of suburbia. Conditioned by the fiction itself, this approach was influentially introduced by Robin Gerster (1990), theoretically honed by Andrew McCann and others (1997; 1998), and continues into the present, albeit with modification and updating (Burns; O’Reilly). Fictions of postwar suburbia depicting the entrapment or flight of their protagonists are routinely read as anti- suburban, as a function of cosmopolitan habitus or artistic elitism. Even such an elusive work as David Malouf’s Johnno (1975) has been positioned as anti-suburban:2 there has been no escaping the dominance of this paradigm.
