1 Mirko Jurak, 1935-2014. An Obituary Adi Wimmer , 2014 single work obituary (for Mirko Jurak )
— Appears in: Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia , vol. 5 no. 1 2014;

In 1989, the Sir Robert Menzies Centre in London sent out a circular letter inviting European Australianists to express their interest in the creation of a „European Association for Studies on Australia.“ The response was largely positive, and in March of that year eight Professors of Australian Studies from eight countries met there to create EASA. Mirko Jurak, Professor of English at the University of Ljubljana, was one of them. The University of Klagenfurt was also presented.

Mirko Jurak studied English and German at the University of Ljubljana, where he took his first degree and his Ph.D. He then went on to do post-doc research at the University of Sussex, where his investigations into Modern English literature were supervised by David Daitches. Returning to Ljubljana, he was soon appointed Full Professor. In his long career, he was also Head of the English department, Dean and Deputy Dean of the Philosophical Faculty and Deputy Vice Chancellor of his university. He was the first instructor of his department to teach all of his classes in English and he became a mentor to generations of Slovenian, but also some American and Austrian students.

1 Mozart in the Antipodes Adi Wimmer , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Mozart in Anglophone Cultures 2009; (p. 71-79)

'The purpose of this paper is not to discuss how Mozart is treated by the classical music industry and music aficionados of 'down under'. I lack the insight into these sections of Australian culture, and in any case my guess is that Mozart plays the same role in Sydney as in Vienna, New York or London. My aim is to engage with relevant literary responses to Mozart, mostly poetic ones, over a period of slightly more than a century - but that is half the white-settler history of Australia.' (p. 71)
