On Taking Liberty On Taking Liberty: The Role of Emotion in Creating a Mimetic Illusion Ingle Knight BA (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree that any territory education institution. 2 Abstract Stories need to be told in such a way that they build and sustain a narrative momentum. We tend to think of the story as the art, and the telling of it as the craft of storytelling. The Russian formalists referred to them as the fabula, the stuff of the story, and szujet, the composition of the plot. This thesis is mainly concerned with the szujet, the praxis of telling a story, in the medium of drama. The dramatic performance of a story elicits from an audience a response that has much in common with the way we normally relate with other people. The principle difference between these two situations is with their motivation. We deal with other people for reasons and with motives of our own whereas we deal with dramatic performances for reasons and motives modulated and framed by someone else. These ulterior motives and reasons are usually masked from the audience by the conflict presented to them at the outset of the performance. The conflict evokes an emotional response from the audience and in this way engages them with the unfolding of the performed narrative. The emotional experience of an audience watching a dramatic performance is designed by the dramatist through a complex variety of dramaturgical techniques and devices employed in the narration. As long as this emotional engagement is sustained the audience responds to it as if the reasons and motives of the engagement are their own, thus giving rise to a mimetic illusion of verisimilitude that defines the medium of dramatic performance. To understand the medium it is important to understand how the emotional response in the audience is established and maintained. This two-part thesis considers this question by presenting a specific example of how it was done by the play Taking Liberty. The first part of the thesis is the script for Taking Liberty which serves to demonstrate some of these dramaturgical techniques. The contextual component of the thesis 3 seeks to illuminate how the complex emotional response in audiences is established and maintained. This contextual component has three chapters. Chapter 1 describes some of the dramaturgical techniques used in Taking Liberty . Chapter 2 deals with the receptive activities triggered in an audience by the sort of dramaturgical devices described in Chapter 1 and the way that normal day to day methods of processing sensory data into information and "understanding" are recruited into narrative reception. Narrative reception requires psychic effort by an audience. The motivation for this effort is emotional. Chapter 3 examines contemporary approaches to the emotions and their relation to narrative. Each of drama's great variety of dramatic situations is invented to evoke particular emotional responses. The design of emotional experience, its changes of valence and intensity, is a vital aspect of composing dramatic texts and creating a mimetic illusion. 4 Contents Abstract 3 Part one: Taking Liberty Act One 8 Act Two 57 Part two: Composing Taking Liberty Introduction 110 1 A Dramaturgical Methodology 1) Plotting the material 126 2) Expositions 133 3) Time, predictability and the expectation horizon. 136 4) Aspects of character 1: dispositions. 146 5) Aspects of character 2: status and self-esteem 151 2 Cognition and Mimesis 1) Catharsis and its critics 157 2) The Storytelling Animal 166 3) Schemata, gaps and frames. 175 4) Mimesis 183 3 The Emotional Audience 1) "He's behind you!" - Fiction and empathy 197 2) Emotion as the feeling of a readiness to act 207 3) Desire, intention and the as-if-body-loop 211 4) Gestic music 218 5) Three kinds of emotional action 222 6) Mechanisms of self-deception 234 Conclusion 242 Bibliography 246 5 Acknowledgements: Many people have helped me along the way.

The set should be multipurpose, dominated in the centre by a 12 metre yacht, however that might be represented, with something corresponding to a helm with a steering wheel, two winches, a mast, a boom and various ropes and pulleys, such that the cast can approximate the activity of the crew during the race. Also a generic office and a couple of telephones. 7 Act One A blizzard of audio and visual media from the winning day: a nation celebrates its great victory. Amidst the sounds of cheering, clapping, crowds singing Waltzing Matilda and "Down Under" by Men at Work on the radio, come the voices of newsreaders and broadcasters: "Australia has won the America's Cup!" Etc. Lights come up on John Bertrand centrestage, on a platform from which he will deliver a motivational talk based on his book, Born to Win. JOHN -- Good evening. I'm John Bertrand. Applause and cheers. JOHN -- Thank you. Thanks. As you know, I'm the man who skippered the boat that won the America's Cup. Applause and cheers. JOHN -- Thanks. If any of you can still afford it after paying for your tickets, my book's on sale in the foyer. It tells the story in glorious detail. But you're not here to buy a book. You want to know what it takes to win - against impossible odds. Alan Bond once told me once that trying to win the America's Cup was like climbing a mountain that is never been climbed before. But it was much harder than that. It was more like catching a rare butterfly. A big white butterfly. And then taming it. And riding it. That is what it felt like at the helm of Australia II . That amazing sailing machine was created by my good mate Ben Lexcen. Ben enters, looking a little lost. JOHN -- As you know Ben passed away a while ago. At the funeral I found myself wondering... what would Ben say to… whoever it is that meets us at that last port of call… 8 Ben looks at the audience. BEN -- Is this it then, the last drop of the anchor? JOHN -- ...how would he explain…? BEN -- I'm done? JOHN -- ... what he did? BEN – Oh, I …well, I designed the boat that won the America's Cup. JOHN -- ... And why he did it? BEN – Beats me. JOHN – And you probably heard about another old mate of mine…. We hear the loud slam of a dungeon door resonating away into distant echo and lights come up on Alan Bond. JOHN -- ... I can well imagine what he’d say. ALAN – I'm Pissed Off! BEN – I’m not sure why. ALAN -- I’m not saying I shouldn’t be here. If they see fit to put me in jail for losing shareholders' money so be it. BEN – I don’t think I had a choice. ALAN -- That is not what I'm pissed off about. I’m talking about my medal! JOHN -- When something like that happens,… ALAN -- My Order of Australia. For winning the America's Cup. JOHN --... You can't help wondering... 9 BEN – It is what I was born to do. ALAN -- They took it back! JOHN --... Was it worth it? BEN – It nearly killed me. ALAN -- As if it never happened. JOHN – But it was. ALAN - But it did. JOHN -- I know it was worth it. ALAN -- I won it! JOHN -- But how to explain … ALAN -- I had what it takes. JOHN -- The will... ALAN -- The will. BEN -- How do I start? JOHN -- The drive.... ALAN - The drive. JOHN --... where it comes from... ALAN -- You have to believe in yourself. JOHN -- ... the need… ALAN -- I always had that. A cockney teacher shouts. TEACHER -- Oy! Alan Bond! You come back here, you little brat! 10 BEN – Well,… ALAN -- (a sly child ) You won't catch me! BEN -- I took my first breath in a bush camp near Boggabri, JOHN -- For me it begins… ALAN -- I'm going to Australia! BEN -- next to the Condamine River. JOHN -- with a toy boat... ALAN -- And I'm going to be rich. JOHN -- in the shallows of Port Phillip Bay... BEN -- Once, when the river was flooding,... We hear Frank Miller's voice. FRANK -- Hold on Bob. BEN -- ... my dad tried to carry me across... (remembering ) I'm holding on dad. FRANK -- Hold on tighter, son. The current's getting stronger. BEN -- I'm trying dad... FRANK -- Tighter, Bob, tighter son! BEN -- I can't! FRANK -- Bob!! BEN -- Sorry dad…! And off I went, splish splash! Swept away down the mighty Condamine. ALAN -- I hated it when I got here. 11 JOHN -- \ BEN -- / The water felt like a cradle. ALAN -- The heat, the flies… BEN -- They found me on /the sand… ALAN -- …/the sand.

This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Griffith University Faculty of Arts School of Arts, Media and Culture August 2003 Statement of Authorship This work has never been previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this dissertation contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the dissertation itself. Abstract This thesis contains a detailed academic analysis of the complete rise and fall of Christopher Skase and his Qintex group mirage. It uses David Harvey’s ‘Condition of Postmodernity’ to locate the collapse within the Australian political economic context of the period (1974-1989). It does so in order to answer questions about why and how the mirage developed, why and how it failed, and why Skase became the scapegoat for the Australian corporate excesses of the 1980s. I take a multi-disciplinary approach and consider corporate collapse, corporate regulation and the role of accounting, and corporate deviance. Acknowledgments I am very grateful to my principal supervisor, Dr Anthony B. van Fossen, for his inspiration, advice, direction, guidance, and unfailing encouragement throughout the course of this study; and for suggesting Qintex as a case study.

  • 1. Gina Rinehart 2. Anthony Pratt & Family • 3. Harry Triguboff
    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

A descendant of the South Australian winemaker Thomas Hardy, James Hardy was born at Seacliff, South Australia. His father, Tom Mayfield Hardy, who was appointed chairman and managing director of Thomas Hardy and Sons in 1924, was one of those killed near Mount Dandenong on 25 October 1938 in the crash of the plane "Kyeema". Tom Hardy was a noted sailor, associated with the yacht Nerida at the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron. Hardy was educated at Brighton Primary School, St. Peter's College and the South Australian Institute of Technology. On leaving school, he spent two years share farming at Port Vincent, South Australia, then joined the family wine company Thomas Hardy and Sons in 1953, working as a shipping clerk.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

  • Did You Know Flying Dutchman Class/Ben Lexcen/Bob Miller
    DID YOU KNOW The late Ben Lexcen designer of the famous “winged keel” on “Australia II,” was an RQYS Member from 1961 to 1968. When skippered by John Bertrand in 1983, “Australia II” became the first non - American yacht to win the America’s Cup in its then 132 year history. Bill Kirby FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS/BEN LEXCEN/BOB MILLER In 1958, the Royal Queensland Yacht Club introduced the International Flying Dutchman Olympic Class two - man dinghy into its fleet. Commodore the late John H “Jock” Robinson announced in his Annual Report for the year that the striking of a levy to assist Australian Olympic Yachting at the 1964 Games at Naples had been approved unanimously. The 1961 – 1962 Australian Champions in the International Flying Dutchman Class were Squadron Members Craig Whitworth, skipper and Bob Miller, forward hand sailing in the “AS Huybers.” The boat was made available for Craig and Bob to sail via efforts of the late Past Commodore Alf Huybers, a well - known businessman of the time in Brisbane and proprietor of Queensland Pastoral Supplies. I was told recently by Bill Wright of Norman R Wright & Sons that Bob Miller was apprenticed as a Sailmaker to his Uncle, Norman J Wright, at the Florite sail loft run by George Manders and seamstress Mrs Lauman. Norman J Wright taught Bob Miller basic yacht design and they teamed up to design the first 3 Man 18 foot skiff “Taipan.” That was closely followed by the World Champion 18 Footer, “Venom” and I was also told by Bill the rig plan of “Taipan” and “Venom” closely followed that of a Flying Dutchman.
