AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Something has been bugging me lately, like a seed stuck in my teeth. In a review of Amy Thunig’s Tell Me Again for this same publication, I considered the memoir alongside my own doubts about the utility of exposure: what compromises do I make to be seen, and how much control do I really have over whether I am seen or merely watched?' (Introduction)

Notes

  • Epigraph: 

    How to punctuate an aesthetics of suffering, its vizibilization regime, with a counternarrative of NDN possibility? Hypothesis: be negative space.

    —Billy-Ray Belcourt, ‘Red Utopia’

It's the first edition to reframe The Meanjin Paper as a piece by a First Nations Elder that greets us the moment we sit down to read. It's the first to introduce new sections that assess the state of the nation, welcome experiments, and cast a long gaze across one particular field. And it's the first by new designer Stephen Banham, the internationally renowned typographer who has dedicated his career to creating a distinctly Australian graphic design language.'
