Boyd Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) University of Tasmania November 2015 1 ‘For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.’ 1 Corinthians 13:12, King James Bible. 2 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright.

Clark, 14 November 2015 3 ABSTRACT A unique series of convict portraits was created at Tasmania’s Port Arthur penal station in 1873 and 1874. While these photographs are often reproduced, their author remained unidentified, their purpose unknown. The lives of their subjects also remained unexamined. This study used government records, contemporary newspaper reportage, convict memoirs, historical research and modern criminological theory to identify the photographer, to discover the purpose and use of his work, and to develop an understanding of the criminal careers of these men.

  • The Myth of Certainty and the Matrix of Uncertainty: Five Contemporary Australian Novels Confront History
    The Myth of Certainty and the Matrix of Uncertainty: Five Contemporary Australian Novels Confront History by Charles Scott Nesbitt A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 7, 2021 Keywords: Historiographic Metafiction, British Literature, Contemporary British and Antipodean Novels, Australia, Postmodernism, Postcolonialism Copyright 2021 by Charles Scott Nesbitt Approved by Dr. Jon Bolton, Chair, Department of English Dr. Alicia Carroll, Department of English Dr. Ernest L. Gibson III, Department of English Dr. Chris Keirstead, Department of English Dr. Rupali Mishra, Department of History Abstract The intersection of postcolonialism and historiographic metafiction can be seen in novels written over the last several decades by British and Antipodean authors concerning the British colonial era in Australia and its aftermath. Novels from this sub-group of writers of historiographic metafiction fit both Linda Hutcheon’s description of historiographic metafiction and some of the concerns of postcolonial writers and theorists, as they revisit the colonial era and critique or reassess the historiographic writings that helped galvanize pro-colonial perspectives and marginalize and dehumanize the Indigenous communities there. While there is much scholarship on historiographic metafiction and postcolonialism, this volume focuses on the specific nexus of those two concepts and its coalescence in contemporary Australian novels of the colonial and postcolonial experience. The novels covered in this volume—by Peter Carey, Matthew Kneale, Rachel Leary, Richard Flanagan, and Alexis Wright—share an interest in 19th Century Australia, the violence and injustice that were an inescapable part of the foundation of the country during that period, and the potential dubiousness of historical documentation.

Jute is a natural fibre, second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses. It is mainly grown in India and Bangladesh with some also grown in Myanmar, Uzbekistan, Thailand and China. Jute is taken from the stem of the Corchorus plant, most commonly referred to simply as the ‘jute plant.’ The jute is harvested and then allowed to soak for a few days in water before the fibres can be stripped off and left to dry. It is then transported, often by bicycle rickshaw, to collection points before being taken to mills where it is processed and turned into the familiar fibres found in sacks, on carpet backing, in pouches and even in wallets. Harvesting jute in India For centuries, jute has been an integral part of the culture of East Bengal (now called Bangladesh). In the seventeenth century the British East India Company started trading in jute. Jute barons grew rich, setting up factories in Bengal as well as in Scotland, and then selling manufactured jute products worldwide.

  • Reading the Historical Phenomenon of Australian Bushrangers
    READING THE HISTORICAL PHENOMENON OF AUSTRALIAN BUSHRANGERS Yohanes Hartadi English Department, Atma Jaya Indonesian Catholic University, Jln. Jenderal Sudirman No. 51, Jakarta Selatan 12930 ABSTRACT Outlaws in their various images have been important parts of history. In Australia, the longest lasting image of outlaws is the bushranger. Despite its popularity, there is a range of depictions of bushrangers and these are not necessarily similar. Interpretation of the bushrangers in colonial time differs from contemporary imagining. This papers aims at unfolding the various interpretations of the bushrangers in different periods in many types of artifact. Information was collected and interpreted by library research. The artifact analysis will be seen through a postmodernism theory by Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes. Since the phenomenon of bushranger stemmed from the colonial period, this study will commence from the period up to contemporary period. It can be concluded that a study of the different periods finds out that knowledge of the bushrangers does not make up a linear history, but rather a discontinuity in the historical narratives. Keywords: history, bushranger, Australian bushranger ABSTRAK Orang yang tidak taat hukum (penjahat) dalam gambaran yang berbeda adalah merupakan bagian sejarah yang penting. Di Australia, gambaran nyata bagi orang tak taat hukum adalah pengembara/petualang di hutan. Selain popularitas, terdapat berbagai gambaran berbeda tentang petualang tersebut. Interpretasi pada jaman kolonial berbeda dengan gambaran di masa kontemporer. Artikel bertujuan menunjukkan berbagai interpretasi terhadap petualang pada masa dan artefak berbeda. Informasi diperoleh dengan penelitian pustaka. Analisis artefak dilakukan dengan teori postmodernisme dari Michel Foucault dan Roland Barthes. Disimpulkan, studi dalam berbagai masa menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan tentang petualang bukan merupakan sejarah linier, tetapi lebih pada ketidakberlangsungan dalam cerita sejarah.

  • Janet Achurch, Ibsen, and the New Woman, Australia
    The Woman Who Did: Janet Achurch, Ibsen, and the New Woman, Australia 1889–1891 by Christine Judith Angel, BTourism, B.A. (Hons) School of Humanities, English Program Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of Tasmania September 2014 Declaration of Originality I declare that this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. ………………………… September 2014 Authority of access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying and communication in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. ………………………… September 2014 Abstract The Australian theatre in the late nineteenth century was in transition: it was, like the country, seeking its own identity in a period of social change. The contributions made to its development by men are well documented. Those made by women have received much less recognition. This thesis addresses that hiatus, by examining the life, celebrity, and influence of English actress, Janet Achurch. It focuses on her 1889–91 Australian tour and the ambivalent responses to her portrayal of Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Achurch, with her husband, actor Charles Charrington, came to Australia under contract to entrepreneurs Williamson, Garner, and Musgrove. On 14 September, 1889 she opened at the Princess’s Theatre in Melbourne with A Doll’s House, the play now most closely connected with the concept of the New Woman.
