  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

  • Lijphart, Hewlett Polarization Paper
    1 POLARIZATION AND DEMOCRATIZATION by Arend Lijphart University of California, San Diego [email protected] Prepared for the Workshop on “Solutions to Political Polarization in the United States” Hewlett Foundation Menlo Park, California October 17-18, 2013 2 POLARIZATION AND DEMOCRATIZATION Arend Lijphart University of California, San Diego Are there solutions to the serious problem of political polarization in the United States? The two main approaches would be efforts to change attitudes and efforts to change institutions and rules. Both are difficult, especially in the short run, but institutional changes are probably somewhat less daunting. I shall follow the latter approach. My point of departure will be the fact that polarization between Democrats and Republicans is almost entirely caused by the increasing extremism of the Republican party and especially its right Tea-Party wing—as extensively documented by Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein (2012). Democrats may have moved slightly to the left in recent decades, but Republicans have moved much farther to the right. In comparison with progressive parties in other advanced industrial democracies—in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand—the Democratic party looks like a center or slightly left-of-center party instead of a party of the far left. In a similar comparison with conservative parties elsewhere, however, the Republican party is not just clearly on the right of the political spectrum but considerably farther to the right. A striking example of this difference is the acceptance of universal health insurance by almost all conservative parties, but not by the Republican party in the United States which not only opposes it but rejects it with great passion and vehemence.
