- summary: There, in a panel on the changing character of higher education, David Hoffman addressed the issue of abandonment amongst immigrant scholars attempting to get a foothold in Finnish academia. Hoffman’s team’s research laid bare an emergent hierarchisation and stratification in Finnish academia identifiable as ‘methodological nationalism’, which responds to the transnational character of capitalism and aims to contain the forces of globalisation within Finnish academia inasmuch that access to, and mobility of immigrant scholars within the tertiary educational system are complicated precisely on the assumption that there is no competitive difference between national and foreign candidates for posts.

- summary: The Role of Place in Writing”, the non-Indigenous poets Lynda Hawryluk and Leni Shilton look at the issue of Australian belonging and place by applying John Keats‟s notion of „negative capability‟ (1891, p. 48) to their writing. In “Identity and friendship in Hsu-Ming Teo´s Behind the Moon (2000)”, Catalina Ribas Segura takes us back to the Asian strand with her discussion of identity issues in the novel Behind the Moon (2000) by the Chinese Australian author Hsu-Ming Teo.

- summary: ―One realistic way of bringing teaching and research together in learning environments‖, claims Willison, ―is for academics to explicitly develop student research skills in regular semester-length courses …, immersing students in the discipline, not only for its content, but also for its knowledge- making practices‖ (Willison, 2012:906). The basis of the study is the adoption of a research methodology – that is the planning, execution and write-up of small, usually group, research projects by final year Masters students in an Osteopathy course.

- summary: Keywords: Australian indigenous poetry, Alf Taylor, Singer Songwriter, Winds Since the 1970s, indigenous Australian authors have steadily gained prominence in Australia‟s mainstream (Wheeler). Abstract: Although Australian indigenous poetry is often overtly polemical and politically committed, any reading which analyzes it as mere propaganda is too narrow to do it justice.

- summary: This does not necessarily mean that cinemas in Europe and North America will be inundated by Chinese films, but it will nonetheless lead to changes in the consumer products that we are offered. Curiously enough, however, it was under the ownership of an Asian company that Columbia believed it could introduce Asian films into mainstream markets worldwide, and thus in 1998 it launched a division called Columbia Pictures Film Production Asia, based in Hong Kong, with the aim of producing Asian films and distributing them internationally.

- flesch: 56
- summary: Carter (1996, p. 25) writes of the process of writing history, place and exploring characters to make a new history: This process of bringing places „into being‟ dissolves the distinction between autobiography and history; to affiliate successfully to the new environment was to be initiated into a new history, but also envisage different ways of telling history. Abstract: Taking its lead from the poet John Keats‟ notion of „negative capability‟ (1891, p. 48), this paper explores the methodology of representing landscapes in writing, specifically using place to effect the process of „…being capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubt, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason…‟ (ibid).

- summary: Women had understood that purely feminist ideas and ideology would not reach out to the greater mass of women. Louisa considered male journalists should refocus their opinions away from ―disquisitions on woman, her weakness, inconstancy, vanity and little failings innumerable.‖ Instead authors should turn ―the search light of genius‖ upon men and boys, because ―a serious examination of modern social affairs, renders apparent the significant fact that women and girls in the mass, have a higher standard of action, and a finer moral tone, than men and boys in the mass possess.‖ (―The Man Question, or, The Woman Question Re-stated.‖ September 2, 1889) Louisa is clear and unequivocal on what she considers typical attitudes to women in contemporary society.

Abstract: On the contribution to introducing Western learning to China by Matteo Ricci (1552-1610), the 16 th -century Italian Jesuit missionary to the Ming Dynasty, abundant research has been done; however, not so on his contribution to introducing Chinese learning to the West, and if so, not profoundly.

- summary: How to hinge, we might say: “What I wanted to capture in writing was the spreading, weaving talk that happens with an intimate friend” (Timepieces, 85), Modjeska writes, again using that metaphor of weaving that becomes her way of talking about female lives, friendships and conversations. Towards the end of Poppy Modjeska writes about her own work, not only Poppy but also Exiles at Home, that she gradually realised that her search for a way of writing, for a way of creating art, also entailed “the discovery of a feminine history of writing and art” (Poppy, 260).

- summary: The novel reflects the change undergone by Australian society: from the White Australia policy and the narrow definition of being “Australian” to the acknowledgement and celebration of Australia´s multicultural society and the questioning of “Australianness” in order to look for a more inclusive meaning. This evolution in Justin´s identity is logical: when he overcomes his fears, he starts to look for his niche in this new community.

- summary: An Australian study into work- integrated internship placements for journalism students found that media employers generally had high expectations of the level of skills that students should present during placement. Anchoring experiential learning in authentic settings or around authentic activities further supports relevant and deep learning, helps journalism students develop skills and mindsets they can draw upon during internships and their first professional roles.

In our commemorative piece to Ruby Pam describes how our relationship has broader connections to Indigenous ways of relating to an extended family network: Years ago when Ruby and I were visiting up at Cabbage Tree Island in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Aunty Eileen Morgan asked about Janie.

- summary: Hoffman, Cools and Seikkinen were already acutely aware of the risk entailed in studies of this nature, as higher education studies are generally not a showcase for critical approaches to power relations within academe (Alvesson 2003; Hoffman et al. 2014, 2013b; Tight 2012), and in Finnish higher education studies in particular (Hoffman et al. 2013a; Hoffman, Saarinen & Cools 2012). This self-ethnography questions the extent to which the nature of equality and inclusion in Finland’s higher education system is quickly moving toward the social stratification characteristic of places like Australia or the USA, or Coolabah, No.17, 2015, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians / Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona 16 whether this is seriously considered, or even noticed within higher education studies in Finland.

- summary: Though non-Japanese readers came to share something with Japanese writers, they still seemed to read these writers’ works as representing Japanese literature which definitely reflected Japanese people, society, culture and tradition. Edward W. Said, Reflection on Exile and Other Essays (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 2002), 269; Gayatri Spivak declares the death of comparative literature in the era of globalization in her Death of a Discipline (New York: Columbia University Press, 2003); The Japanese critic Karatani Koujin remarks that Japanese modern literature is coming to an end, although literature itself will continue, and says that the literature of the future will be unrecognizable.

- summary: Keywords: Earl Lovelace, Creole art forms, Spiritual Baptist church, steel pan, resistance At the heart of Earl Lovelace’s works lies the assumption that fiction is an instrument of social transformation. First, it was argued that that Spiritual Baptist practices were deemed as non-tolerable in a well-conducted community, and secondly, it was also argued that the neighbourhood in which the Spiritual Baptists meeting took place was made almost impossible for residential occupation (Herskovits, 1947: 330).

The revision of such experiences usually becomes more recurrent after retirement, a transition time from one period of life to another and, as such, a time in which we, human beings, have a tendency to take stock of our lives.

Particular emphasis in the analysis of the plays featuring African slaves is laid on the national identity of the British Empire in creating ‘auto’ and ‘hetero’ images, whose frequent reiteration successfully familiarized the British public with the character of the ‘non-familiar.’

- summary: That there are leaders and prominent members of remote Aboriginal communities, comprising former Labor party supporters and even a former Labor member of the Northern Territory legislative assembly, seeking candidacy, winning seats and being instrumental in delivering office to a party long thought to be inimical to Aboriginal interests, raises issues relevant not only to the actions of the men cited above, but also to the disputatious reaction to the ‘emergency response’ in the Northern Territory.vii Coolabah, No.13, 2014, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona 138 In a speech delivered in March 2006 the shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Chris Evans, reflected on the ideological convictions of the major Australian political parties vis-à-vis indigenous policy. It is here too where there is convergence between the progressive politics of predominantly urban-based, middleclass, educated black and white, and their respective interests in remote Aboriginal communities.

Although, as she points out, Maori literature is now firmly established and has been subject to numerous critical studies, the same does not apply to the literature produced by writers of other backgrounds, whose works have tended to be ignored as constitutive of the body of New Zealand literature (Nola 1999).

- summary: Because timber and trees were so closely connected with the settler history of the Northern Rivers region, from the initial colonisation to the present, through phases of large-scale extraction of timber to vigorous and successful rainforest conservation actions, Adlington wanted the exhibition “to be about the tree as well as well as the timber […with] elements of traditional wood work in the exhibition, […] the type of show that [would be] accessible to [non-gallery-going] male audiences and [which] would draw people in” (personal communication, July 4, 2011). And art exhibitions, in this instance in regional Australia, exist “at an environmental cost”, says Adlington, because artworks have to be transported across the country (personal communication, July 4, 2011).

- flesch: 51
- summary: This paper suggests, through some of Morphy's scholarship in the area, that art history should not be tied to major institutions that collect and exhibit Aboriginal art. Now is an opportune time for research on Aboriginal art that aims to have an international impact, while art history moves towards constructing methodologies for thinking about cross-cultural and world arts (Elkins 2006; Miller 2008; Summers 2003: 661-663).

- summary: By walking with video when writers took me to their favourite places I was able to document visceral intersubjective experiences of these places, of being there together, so that I could empathically share the writers’ sense of landscape. This paper discusses what happens when a hodological approach is taken to explore connections and flows between poetic expressions, places and landscapes.

One contemporary account records a native making the simple plea: When white man fight in Adelaide, blackfellow say nothing.

These two characters typify certain archetypal roles in narratives of space; those that are comfortable living in spaces of chaos, wilderness, outside of civilisation; and those who come from spaces of order and travel into the untamed space.

- summary: As the conversation evolved, rather than exactly following Cloke’s approach in this paper, the authors are merely following his lead and highlighted, through a our conversation, significant relationships and influences that have brought us to both the particular form of geographic enquiry and the specific relationships we have as research supervisor and research students. However, our interests are wider, extending to the teaching and learning of research; while this paper focuses on the use of biographical narrative as a research method, it is considered to have further potential as a supervisory mode, both for research students and beyond into the larger arena of undergraduate teaching.

The concept of neighbour has lost its innocence, they say.

That conclusion implied that quantum reality was not objective, because it depends on the method of measurement used and, by extension, it could be said that it is influenced by the subjectivity of the observer.

- summary: To conclude, I will quote a poem by a Korean poet, Yi Sang, the verbal construction of which is characterized by an overwhelming kind of intensity, suggesting tension and fear we have not observed in the works by Japanese poets of the same period. Though acknowledging that this kind of an illusion of cosmopolitanism, covered up by the discourse of love, is heavily orientalist in itself – as it is nothing but a self-complacent construction of the other – such approach taken by Kaneko and other Japanese traveler poets has a potential to agitate and disturb the colonialist discourse.

This article’s intention is to demonstrate the mimetic devices inherent in Lagaan’s narrative, and how they mirror the regional resilience evident in the global success of both popular Indian cinema and the Indian performance of cricket.

- summary: Walker has also published The Ghost at the Wedding (2009) based on the life of Walker’s mother in law, a woman whose life was largely shaped by war, and who, in 1918 near the end of WW1, married a returned soldier. The present article focuses on Roundabout at Bangalow: An Intimate Chronicle, where Walker narrates the complicated and, sometimes, blurred resonances of her “half-a-lifetime” memoir.

The text engages briefly but trenchantly with the issue of global trade and its boosting of consumerism, in lines that seem to echo Jago: Proud swells the tide with loads of freighted ore, And shouting Folly hails them from her shore; Hoards, even beyond the miser's wish, abound, And rich men flock from all the world around.

Let us see how it its symbolism is related to other world traditions and in different epochs.

- summary: This monograph, in honouring Ruby Langford Ginibi, is the written expression of an ongoing dialogue between the two authors about their experiences living in Australia and the way that Ruby has interconnected with us and influenced our experiences of growing up in an Australian cultural context. I could dwell on a vast number of events to illustrate Ruby Langford Ginibi’s connection to both ancestral culture and contemporary political awareness but the lead up to the Australian Bicentennial celebrations and the actual Australia Day events seemed to me to be the best way to illustrate the place that Indigenous Australians were situated and how Ruby and her writings were placed both inside and outside this huge event.

- summary: In the mid-1990s, the Australian writer and critic Mudrooroo, formerly known as Colin Johnson, proposed Maban Reality as a genre denomination for fiction which introduces the reader to the powerful and empowering universe of the Aboriginal maban or shaman, also known as the Dreaming. As if to underline the inexorability of white domination, throughout the trilogy George mostly appears in his Dreamtime-animal shape, a dingo turned into Amelia’s obedient, “faithful … doggy” (Mudrooroo 1999: 103) and under whose psychic control he is unable to change back to his human shape.

La obra trata el tema del desarrollo de las ideas y el pensamiento a partir de lo que se conoce, se ha aprendido y como a su vez lo aprendido constituye la base del crecimiento.

In fact, their daily practices and renunciations were quite similar to those narrated by the biographers of ancient philosophers: refraining from sexual intercourse, despising any material luxuries or worldly honours, despising all kind of bodily comforts, often including elementary hygienic measures, and considerably reducing either the amount or the type of food taken, or both.

Before I say anything else, it is important that I explain that Gwalan people have only recently (re)emerged as the traditional Aboriginal owners of what is now a large part of modern Sydney.

In her book Food for Thought: Philosophy and Food (1996) Elizabeth Telfer discusses both the qualitative and quantitative views on the pleasure of food, as expressed, for example, by Plato in Gorgias: “Plato claims that seeking pleasure from food is self-defeating: a person who does this is never satisfied, and gets less pleasure each time” (27, cf.

The Coopers will soon encounter a very different—and indifferent—kind of food, “the national food” (Waten 1978, 67), then heavily indebted to British cuisine: grilled steak and onions with Worcestershire sauce (Waten 1978, 67), and alternatives of “steak and onions, steak and eggs, chops, sausages and fried whiting” (Waten 1978, 68) or, for a change, mulligatawny soup and “roast mutton lying in thick brown gravy and steamed pudding covered in thin, yellow custard sauce” (Waten 1978, 73).

Events such as September 11, the bombings in Bali and Jakarta, and the ‘war on terror’ brought Australian values powerfully into the purview of politicians, political cartoonists and media commentators.

The changes in plot introduced by the film adaptation reflect not only the changes in U.S. policy towards these marriages, but also Michener’s own attitude: in 1955 he was to marry a Japanese American, Mari Yoriko Sabusawa, whom he had met in Japan (Chung Simpson 1998: 71).

- summary: Robert Hughes (in The Fatal Shore) discredits the idea of any bonding between the convict and the Aborigine but acknowledges examples of “white blackfellas”—white men who had successfully been adopted into Aboriginal societies. Key words: convict; Aborigine; settler culture Interpreting the conference theme in its metaphoric sense as a playing with ideas that could stimulate new modes of thinking; of feeding the imagination and the intellect, this paper will highlight selected literary representations of the Australian convict which suggest that the transportation into exile resulted, for some at least, not in atrophy and extinction but in a new transmutation, a re-birth and an attaining to a new status of belonging in the new land.

- summary: If we are to address the hope entailed in remembering, it is necessary to examine what forms post-colonial remembering is taking in contemporary Australia; remembering experienced differently by indigenous and non-indigenous Australians, but also differently by individual writers. The ghosts and traumas of the past are symbolically relegated to that past, as “the future” takes over: “moving forward with confidence to the future”, “For the future we take heart; resolving that this new page in the history of our great continent can now be written”, “a future that embraces all Australians”, “A future where this Parliament resolves that the injustices of the past must never, never happen again”, “A future where we harness the determination of all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to close the gap”, A future where we embrace the possibility of new solutions to enduring problems where old approaches have failed.

- summary: Philosophy as strict science and worldview philosophy In this context, it seems suitable to recall a distinction that Husserl makes between worldview philosophy and scientific philosophy in his book Philosophy as Strict Science. That will allow us to inquire whether and, if so, in what way life-world philosophy differentiates itself from worldview philosophy.

However, because of the radical, long term disruption of cultural practices as one of the first peoples to have contact with Europeans and because they have inter-married with whites and many different groups of Aboriginal peoples, Gwalan Custodians do not have one, common cultural tradition on which to draw.

Therefore, the word “coolabah” included three very important aspects: first, it was related to the previous printed journal (Eucalypt); second, it acknowledged the traditional inhabitants of Australia; and, finally, it is known by all Australians.

Similarly, neither should the challenge of reconciling the various shariah schools with Australian law be underestimated.

- summary: Whereas Australian crime fiction has given expression to the white experience of the continent in manifold ways, up until recently it made no room for Indigenous voices – with the exception of the classic Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte series written by the prolific Arthur Upfield in the first half of the 20 th century. Written as of the 1990s, McLaren’s oeuvre is eclectic in that it does not respond to traditional formats of Australian crime fiction, shifts between generic subtypes and makes incursions into other genres.

- flesch: 56
- summary: (Sampson, 2007: 280-81) However, the authors do not establish a sense of continuity between China’s colonial past and the neo-colonial practices at work in the country, as if neo-colonialism was a phenomenon that, far from revealing the West’s uninterrupted encroachment on foreign territories, has finally made Chinese people aware of the opportunities and prosperity they had missed when the Bamboo Curtain fell. In fact, these novels are furiously engaged in the process of Othering China by activating a series of strategies ultimately devised to reassure the West, if not of its superiority, at least of its inherent decency, social stability and overwhelming value in a world which has lost its master narrative of the Cold War that, just a few decades ago, helped to fabricate interested knowledge of the East.

- summary: Keywords: Gibraltar, Bresciano, crime fiction, museumification, historical memory, reconstructed narrative memory Contexts In the course of some five or six years, between 2010 and 2015, a duo of native Gibraltarian friends, Sam Benady and Mary Chiappe, both in their seventies, produced a collaborative seven-volume series of detective novels set in early colonial Gibraltar. Abstract: The “Bresciano” series of seven historical detective novels (2010-2015) by Sam Benady and Mary Chiappe set in a period of four decades early in the British imperial history of Gibraltar from the 1780s to the 1820s provides an excellent opportunity not only for reconstructing a significant image of the historical past of the colony – and possibly also of its current status – but also for investigating a complex of critical approaches to such writing in terms of historical crime fiction, post-coloniality, and the wider ramifications of the function of cultural-historical “museumification” and its impact on the literary narrative.

- summary: I am very much interested in why Flanagan chose this title for the novel, and in how well Flanagan is versed in the knowledge of Japanese haiku poems. Flanagan says, in writing this novel, he was not going to express his feelings of accusation, judgment or hatred towards Japanese officers, but was rather very careful not to make the readers feel that way (Koval).

We had more in common with each other than with many people of our own nations.

In linking these sections, we draw on the work of Sherene Razack (2007) on the interconnection of the tropes of ‘dangerous’ Muslim men, imperilled Muslim women and the ‘civilised’ European.

- summary: At the end of each session, a mosaic of life stories had been formed, revealing, as Barbara Nussbaum (2009:101) writes, “our interconnectedness, our common humanity, and the responsibility to one another that flows from that connection”. Importantly, these three stories reveal that there was not a unified way of conveying life stories but there was a process of self-understanding, self-respect and growth that was common to the three storytellers.

By calling attention to the underlying structural racism that makes laws, controls court systems, and ultimately governs the daily lives of Black people, Garza raises awareness to the profundity of the power and violence that have commanded Black lives both externally and intra-communally through gender, racial, social and class hierarchies throughout American history.

- summary: I will show that her novel offers a localised and inclusive approach to the history of the Chinese in New Zealand history, including but not limited to the Chinese perspective. In her study, Ooi also talks about the “inconsistent ascriptions of ethnicity” (2009: 319) affecting ethnic writers; for instance, she contrasts the branding of New Zealand authors like Alan Duff or Lynda Chanwai-Earle as “ethnic”, with the creative strategies developed by others, like Kelly Ana Morey and Ann-Marie Houng Lee, to avoid such branding.

Gabbi, 1998; Adrian Gilbert, 2009; Vijaya Joshi, 2000; Pamela Rajkowski, 1987; Joyce Westrip and Peggy Holroyde, 2010), very few have dealt with South Asian literature on the South Asian diaspora in Australia (Sarwal 2013, pp. 34). As Sarwal argues, “there are only nominal critical articles or dissertations on South Asian diasporic literature published in Australia and most themes remain under-explored” (2013, pp. 43) causing the South Asian diasporic writer “anxiety of invisibility” (Lal in Madan 2009).

Each character has his or her own personal story, consisting of hopes, wishes, loves, pains, name, place and chronology, which develop, clash or collapse when, within the general outline of Hokitika country, their orbits cross those belonging to someone else.

- summary: For Coulthard, and for many Indigenous people globally, this productive confrontation is necessary if we are to overcome the stubborn adherence to a continuation of colonial domination, embedded in the ideology of recognition itself: Instead of ushering in an era of peaceful coexistence grounded on the ideal of reciprocity or mutual recognition, the politics of recognition in its contemporary liberal form promises to reproduce the very configurations of colonialist, racist, patriarchal state power that Indigenous peoples’ demands for recognition have historically sought to transcend. Indigenous people in Australia are at the forefront of the issue, both as communities majorly impacted on by climate change, and the custodians of knowledge, scientific and philosophical, able to assist other communities in working towards the health and protection of country.

By what right do non-Indigenous Australians make a claim over this continent and execute a governing document to supersede the sovereignty of Indigenous nations and their laws/lores?

Abstract: This paper reflects on the challenges African refugees face in achieving a sense of belonging in Australia, largely as a result of the negation of their traditional experiences by modernist states both in Africa and Australia.

- date: 2018-05-03
- words: 7609
- flesch: 45
- summary: Within this framework, a history of Italian soccer clubs in Perth represents a significant tool to shed light on the issues of transnationalism and social inclusion in Australia, as it can enhance the understanding of some of the dynamics that affected Italian migrants’ social process of settling, integration and inclusion within the development of a multicultural mass society in Australia. For Italians, soccer became an extra-territorial space, their clubs’ success being a source of pride, and the relatively quick spread of Italian soccer clubs in Perth metropolitan area (Azzurri, Tricolore, Vastese and Aurora) as well as in country regions (La Fiamma in Geraldton and Swan Athletic in the Swan Valley) reflects the developing process of social inclusion of Italian migrants in Australia.

- summary: By this time, pre-selected groups of single women travelled to West Australia under the care of a ship board matron such as Mary Pittman Monk (Fairweather and Hayes, 2013a, p.213; Gothard, 2001, p.84) who served as the girls’ chaperone. From Gardiner’s study, it is possible to see that single women in West Australia were at times sexually abused and raped, and that the society of nineteenth century West Australia did not accept unlicensed sexual behaviour from young women.

The Bugarrigarra is associated with events that created our world, deep at the beginning of time yet it transcends time and space to inform and give meaning to contemporary Yawuru life … it is the spiritual force that shapes our cultural values and practices, our relationship with our country and the responsibilities and obligations that we have to each other as Yawuru people.

- summary: That is, we argue to students that, as professional people working with someone who is culturally different, in the broadest possible interpretation of cultural difference, we have a responsibility to find ways to accord the deepest possible respect for the human dignity of the other when we interact, design programs, work with that other. La Caze elegantly argues that generosity and wonder are both needed in the development of an ethics of respect for difference: We should respond to other differences beyond sexual difference with wonder … The passions of generosity and wonder need to be brought together to ground an ethics; … wonder and generosity must be understood as attitudes that we can cultivate in ourselves.

When the judges of the Windham-Campbell Prize for 2017—a prize administered out of Yale University in order to “call attention to literary achievement” —awarded Cobby Eckermann for her contribution to poetry, they had this to say about her work: Through song and story, Ali Cobby Eckermann confronts the violent history of Australia’s Stolen Generations and gives language to unspoken lineages of trauma and loss.

- summary: Indeed one could imagine a story of his in which a man, a sort of Australian Chekhov, whilst ministering compassionately to thousands of patients during a long medical career, spent his spare time writing short stories and dreaming of the day when he would produce a magnum opus that would be launched before a large and admiring gathering late in his life…but in which death takes him just months before the great work debuts. Thus you will find in The Storyteller stories that read like parables and fantasy – more like Magic Realism than Realism; stories which seem to live outside the ‘heedless flow’ of chronological time, as Liner puts it, and to lift us into a realm of archetypal imaginings, preternatural happenings and stunning metamorphoses.

- summary: The point of all this is that much of Australian migrant writing is in a sense done by exiles, whether migrants by necessity or by choice. To put the subject in context, I will begin by giving you some idea of the changes in Australia’s population and attitudes to migrants since the country’s settlement just over 200 years ago; I will go on to deal with the efforts of the country’s early writers to develop a distinctive Australian literature and the effects of this on migrant writing; I will refer to the recent more visible emergence of migrant writers; and I will elaborate a little on the theme of the migrant being in a sense an exile in Australia, a theme which I will illustrate by quoting from my own writing.

Although they are not mermaids, the narf and the selkie in the films examined in Shalaby’s essay ‘Reworking the postmodern understanding of reality through fantasy’ nevertheless fulfil a similar role to the mermaid, as ‘fantasy’ aquatic creatures who are able to offer the human protagonists a different and ‘more enabling’ understanding of themselves.

But while the island may not possess the material assets and/or archaeological records that can provide such “vestiges”, since the 1960s it has been ascribed a set of (often tenuous and/or tendentious) associations that have become institutionalised within New Age/recreational pilgrimage discourse, forming a media- loric mass that has come to serve a similar function for Es Vedrà as (more empirically verifiable) ancient vestiges have for locations such as Manchu Picchu or Glastonbury Tor. While unusual in comparison to other established inland recreational pilgrimage sites, Es Vedrà’s merits comparison to other island sites.

- summary: In his analysis of Carpentaria, the Jungian psychoanalyst Craig San Roque’s eco- psychological tack avoids subsuming Indigenous reality and myth into the hierarchical Freudian framework of his discipline and takes this agenda into literature. The destruction sung to Indigenous culture and country by the suspect imposition of white civilisation and religion (“We know your story already”) is questioned and unsettled by an Indigenous counternarrative of mythical Dreamtime proportions, moulded by the meandering tracks of the slow, sinuous and powerful Rainbow Serpent’s movements through Waanyi country that determine the structure of the ensuing narrative (1–3).

- summary: Eli Avivi declared himself president, by means of an election in which he was the only voter, produced Achzivland passports that were available for purchase, adopted a flag and, in recognition of the micronation’s location and his maritime associations, adopted the sound of the sea as the micronational anthem. The principal cause of conflict in the territory from the 1920s on was the tension between the wishes for self-determination and security of the area’s established Palestinian (and predominantly Muslim) population and the desires of Jewish settler-refugees to set up Jewish areas and spheres of influence in response to varying degrees of marginalisation and/or hostility in their former countries of residence.

- summary: Data for the paper is drawn from several sources, including my own experiences observing cruise ship ceremonies in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. While the cruise ship version bears some similarities to the traditional ceremony, it differs in purpose, the brutality of the original version is lessened, and the gender onboard cruise ships permits a difference in the makeup of participants (including the portrayal of mermaids) and a reduction in the need for transvestite performances.

- summary: While IPAs are enjoying a prolonged popularity (given that continued experimentation in craft beer gives rise to variations on the style), it is interesting to note that a significant proportion of the beers identified in this article are classified as part of the IPA class of beer styles. Articles on the rise of craft beer in recent years highlight similarities between slow-food- style descriptors that recur in the communities, with adjectives like ‘craft’, ‘artisanal’, ‘micro’ and ‘nano’ considered as “cult adjectives” (Day, 2015: online).

- summary: The second reason that Geoff’s writings on war literature are important is that, although war has been a significant shaping influence on Australian society and national identity, Australian war literature is not as well-studied or as well-known as its British counterpart, even within Australia; and there is no readily agreed-upon canon of Australian war writing. But Geoff kept stocking up on Australian books and movies, cramming them into his already cramped and top-heavy apartment in downtown Aachen.

Findings from interviews During interviews, the journalists were questioned on a wide variety of issues related to the Claremont case, including what role they were in at their workplace during the case, how they perceived other journalists were working the story, the opinions about how the 23 victims were portrayed in the media and the effect it had on Perth as a whole, keeping in line with the themes around journalism practices, ritual and memory.

- flesch: 60
- summary: (Attridge, 133-134) On the basis of the above discussion, it can thus be argued that Malouf’s The Conversations at Curlow Creek maintains a delicate balance between historical plausibility and fictional possibility in its depiction of the events surrounding the execution of the escapee-convict Carney under the supervision of the Irish sheriff Adair in colonial New South Wales. (McKinnon, 5-6) Perhaps on account of his Irish heritage and the sheer sense of dislocation that the rough terrain of provincial New South Wales causes him to endure, Adair does not quite feel up to the task that the British colonial administration located in Sydney wants him to carry out before Carney’s execution.

- summary: Together, the papers and translations explore a number of themes, including intercultural exchange, connection to place, the slippages and difficulty in the translation process and translation as a way to open up thinking about the world. But while there is a movement against the invisibility of the translator, the argument that translations must almost be undetectable (in that if the translation is good you don’t notice it’s from another language) perhaps understates the productive cultural negotiations that take place when moving between languages.

- summary: For the remainder of this paper, we take up the question of why poetry translation is worth attempting, focusing on some of what may be gained in translation. Rich’s and Staid’s discussions of the film can be repurposed as metaphors for the practice of poetry translation, especially its dependency on connections and ephemeral, creative and ‘shimmering’ spaces.

- summary: The simplest explanation is that I have been asked, several times, and each time, neither I nor the poet, editor or publisher doing the asking has been aware of anyone with a track record in English poetry translation and the Frisian skills to do the job directly. One of the basic principles of literary translation is that you shouldn’t translate from a language you don’t know well.

- summary: These, unlike his translations of Trakl poems contained in his essay, were included in McAuley’s publication MLN (1976, 289-292) and CP94, 289-292. James McAuley (1917-1976), regarded as one of the important Australian poets of the mid-to- late twentieth-century, remains a complex of seeming paradoxes; regarded as representing the “second wave of modernism” (letter H.M Green to McAuley, 15/3/44) in Australia in the 1940s, but predominantly as an anti-modernist, formalist poet, Catholic convert, and polemic critic.

- summary: In these past two decades island scholars have grappled with island typologies (Royle & Brinklow, 2018), their location and distribution across the globe (Depraetere, 2009a and b), island epistemologies and methodologies (Baldacchino, 2008), and the complex relationship between the terrestrial, aquatic, and living/non-living elements of island places (Hayward, 2012a and b). As well as discussions around the geographic particularities of islands, scholarly attention has turned to the depiction and representation of island places and spaces in fictive literature (Crane & Fletcher, 2017), and other media (Fitzgerald & Hayward, 2016).

One distinctive element of De Vito’s volume is its revision of the shape of the island, retaining the walled south-western peninsula shown in the map from the 1933 film but rendering the island in a skull-like side profile that matches the shape of Skull Mountain and adds a group of fringing islands along the south and north-western coasts.

- summary: Substantial consideration is also given to the atmospherics of Grand Banks fog in literature and visual art and of the imaginative space created for it. Martin’s discussions of the physical sensation of fog – which are echoed by the descriptions of being in fog on the Grand Banks detailed in the subsequent section of this article – are not simply imaginative.

- summary: Loch Ness is 57-degrees N. Most reported Loch Ness Monster sightings occur when noctilucent clouds are visible in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere between May and August (Gadsden and Par- viainen, 2006: 8). 4).xxxiii Shadows or reflections of tropospheric clouds are therefore a poor explanation for Loch Ness Monster sightings and are dismissed by sceptics as a plausible explanation (Nickell, 2006: 14).

- summary: His final novel most certainly addressed Marr’s and Goldworthy’s concerns about cultural and political rele- vance, as do other novels published in recent years, including Heather Rose’s Bruny, also published in 2019. Australian and Transnational Studies Centre (CEAT), University of Barcelona 58 Plot, Author, Context The central point of view of the novel comes from Rita Gausse, who is herself author of a book on “invisible non-human presences, non-human forms of consciousness, all around us in the landscape” (229).

- summary: About Metaphor In his book, Bridle rationalizes the very justifiable need for new metaphors with but a few considerations, followed by many critiques of current metaphors and suggestions for novel ones. Metaphors would, as Bridle proposes, allow for some form of comprehension of the world even when (technical, functional) understanding is not possible, but also beyond it; only through metaphor could anyone, “plumber” or “non-plumber”, hope to make sense of “the complex interactions between water tables, political geography, ageing infrastructure”, etc.

- summary: Such clouds are also visible in the exhaust from shipping boats and a source of inspiration for new ideas about how to combat climate change. Abstract: This article uses diatoms and the role they play in cloud formation as a prompt to consider histories of weather modification in practice, science fiction and possible future applications to address climate change.
