1 y separately published work icon Australian Women Playwrights : The Sacrifice of Oriel Gray Merrilee Moss , Clayton : Monash University , 2015 10799496 2015 single work thesis

'Australian Women Playwrights: the Sacrifice of Oriel Gray argues that multi-award winning left-wing Australian playwright Oriel Gray was sacrificed in 1955 by and for the dominant discourse in one symbolic act of “violence”. It investigates contributing elements and circumstances that may have worked together and separately to create and maintain Gray’s liminal status in the theatre world, despite her significant achievements, for more than half a century, and asks how it has been possible for Gray and her considerable body of work to be “forgotten” again and again. It also seeks to examine the manner in which Gray as an outsider/stranger/artist depicted sacrifice and expressed liminality in her work, and argues that Gray’s position provided her a particular point of view. The artwork at the centre of the thesis is the play script Oriel, structured by a dialogue between two Australian playwrights: ‘Oriel’ from the mid-twentieth century, and modern-day playwright, ‘Moss’. As a secondary task, both artwork and dissertation speculate on what effect the forgetting of Gray and her work may have had on the situation for women playwrights today, focusing particularly on contemporary multi-award winning left-wing Melbourne playwright, Patricia Cornelius. With reference to psychoanalysis, sociology and anthropology, using a feminist lens and a synthesized practice-as-research methodology, this thesis highlights Gray as an innovative, important playwright, and argues that she was sacrificed precisely because of her significance.'

1 y separately published work icon A Calvinian Architecture Domenico De Clario , Melbourne : Monash University , 2007 Z1914057 2007 selected work prose travel

"'A Calvinian Architecture' is the name of the site-specific performance project I undertook in Melbourne from the beginning of 1998 until the end of 2001. The focus of the project was a deconstruction of Italo Calvino's novel 'The Invisible Cities' (Einaudi Torino 1972) into seven separate strands. ... This current publication is also presented in the form of seven octaves, each being made up of eight chapters: in turn each chapter contains my English translation of a Calvino 'invisible city' as well as two of the stories I had written through the project. Section Two of each chapter usually describes a journey I have made and Section Three describes a house located somewhere in the world that I have either wanted to live in or buy." (Introduction)
1 y separately published work icon Setting the Agenda: Feminist Presses and Publishing Politics in Australia, 1974-2003 Louise Poland , Melbourne : 2007 Z1407671 2007 single work thesis This study recovers the history of a continuum of feminist presses that emerged from the Australian Women's Liberation Movement and demonstrates that in Australian feminist publishing, feminist activism is linked with book publishing at the site of cultural production. The study also assesses the contribution of independent (Australian-owned) presses to establishing a 'female presence' in Australian fiction and non-fiction and to publishing women's and feminist projects. Finally, it examines the feminist presses that operated in the 1990s in the context of a changing publishing industry, and argues that it is in the merging of commercial and political imperatives that an adaptive or hybrid model of feminist publishing emerged in Australia.

1 y separately published work icon Printers and Printing in Australia to the Early Twentieth Century: Personal and Business Pursuits Stephen James Herrin , Melbourne : 2004 Z1307703 2004 single work thesis This history attempts to reconstruct printing practices and their publishing outputs in order to show that, in addition to financial considerations, the personal interests and backgrounds of printers played a part in their business. In order to achieve this, the thesis presents biographical details, documents and analyses publishing statistics from 1800-1914 - compiled using Kinetica [Libraries Australia], printing house procedure and business records - and offers an overview of the trade. Together, all these aspects present a full picture of printing practice and show how the printers interacted with their communities.
1 y separately published work icon Book/Cover John Mansfield , Melbourne : 2004 Z1307003 2004 single work thesis This thesis aims to identify the major characteristics of the contemporary book cover, and to show how these characteristics have grown out of the very different forms which book covers took before the nineteenth century. The evolution of the book cover is discussed with reference to various threads in the history of publishing and bookselling. The most important of these are: developments in the technology of book binding; the emergence of professional graphic design; and the restructuring of retail trade. The confluence of historical threads has given the cover a crucial role in contemporary international book trade, stimulating visual processes of recognition and identification that are central to contemporary methods of bookselling.
1 y separately published work icon Entangled Subjects: Talk and Text in Collaborative Indigenous Australian Life Writing Michèle Grossman , Melbourne : 2004 Z1306606 2004 single work thesis The cultural and political practices of authorial and editorial collaboration in the Indigenous Australian life-writing genre have emerged as key sites in relation to the textual management and performance of Indigenous and non-Indigenous identity, authorship and authority in cross-cultural contexts. Various editorial, authorial and representational strategies brought to bear in these works offer insights and pose dilemmas, both theoretical and lived, about how European colonial oppositions of 'self' and 'other' have played out in the contexts of literacy and and its cultural 'others'. This thesis critiques both practices within and critical discourses on Indigenous Australian life-writing texts that variously reinforce, complicate or challenge 'talk' and 'text' as divided territories. It analyses how these domains intersect, and considers the implications of this for our understanding of how and why the terrain of cross-cultural, collaborative life writing has simultaneously been one of constraint and possibility for rethinking oralities, literacies and modernities in the present.
1 y separately published work icon Trans-Tasman : Modes of Proximity and Detachment in New Zealand/Australian Literary Culture Brigid Magner , 2003 Z1250929 2003 single work thesis This thesis explores the ambivalent relationship between the literary communities of Australia and New Zealand. Since the breakdown of imperial ties with Britain, Australia and New Zealand have each become increasingly preoccupied with national identity, stressing the links between culture and nationalism. Due to the strength of these oppositional nationalisms, interstitial figures have been effectively exiled from their literary origins in the process of moving across the Tasman. Arguing that this form of displacement can function as a reading strategy, the thesis explores the intricate connections between nation, identity and location.
1 y separately published work icon Out of Type: Women in Publishing in Australia, 1931-73 Louise Poland , Melbourne : 2002 Z1297518 2002 single work thesis This thesis represents an attempt to re-evaluate women's significance in Australian book publishing, especially during its formative years. It identifies over three hundred women who were active in publishing and the book trade in Australia pre-1974. Of these, ten publishers and editors, eight of whom have not previously been the subject of any known academic scrutiny, are selected for case study. The thesis argues that mainstream histories of the book have consistently marginalised women and calls for a re-reading of book culture in Australia.
1 y separately published work icon Culture, Commerce and Ambivalence : A Study of Australian Federal Government Intervention in Book Publishing Kath McLean , Melbourne : 2002 Z1297485 2002 single work thesis This thesis examines the dual commercial and cultural nature of the book and the book publishing industry, and Australian government intervention in that industry. The thesis argues, through historical examination of Australian government intervention since federation, that the role of government has been ambivalent, partly due to the essential commercial and cultural nature of the product: the book.
