Two Decades After Gangland, the Precariat Is Ageing and Cultural Scapegoating Thrives Mark Davis , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: The Conversation , 16 March 2017;

'In the second of our articles examining the influential book Gangland 20 years on, its author Mark Davis reflects on the cultural landscape today.

“Has anything changed?” Two decades after I published my book Gangland: Cultural Elites and the New Generationalism, about the domination of the “generation of ‘68” in Australian cultural life, I still get asked that question.'

The New ‘Coterie’ : Writing, Community and Collective Keri Glastonbury , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , Special Issue 2010; 'In Gangland: Cultural Elites and the New Generationalism (1997) Mark Davis outlined the increasing nepotism of the Australian literary establishment along generational lines. Post-Gangland, 'coterie' has become a dirty word, even as the literary becomes more and more of a niche market. Yet, literary coteries have been with us prior to the British early modern era and through to (and beyond) Anglo-American modernism. It seems ironic to dispense with ideas of coterie at a time when changing modes of communication and publication are producing both fragmentation and possibilities for new literary communities, exceeding the endist (and endless) rhetoric of decline. If, as Perry argues, 'the notion of coterie production offers a useful way to think about the kinds of networks that provided the social occasions for a great deal of literary production' (108) in the court culture of the Renaissance, might productive parallels be drawn with contemporary literary production in the era of social networking? I'm particularly interested in how coterie, community and collective are operating for younger writers post-Gangland, beyond the ubiquitous 'emerging writers' moniker. In what ways does 'insider trading' continue to play a vital part in communities of writing and reading, considering the dissolving boundaries between writing, reading, publishing, networking and socialising?'

Cyberspace and Oz Lit : Mark Davis, McKenzie Wark and the Re-Alignment of Australian Literature Ruth Brown , 2002 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Studies , Winter vol. 15 no. 2 2002; (p. 17-36) Contemporary Issues in Australian Literature 2002; (p. 17-36) Ruth Brown argues that 'the globalised milieu in which any literature must now be read is so vastly different from anything that has gone before that it requires a complete re-think of what constitutes a "national" literature' (18). After analysing the arguments of Davis and Wark, she looks at the role of Australian studies offshore in this rethinking, both in terms of celebrity and commodity culture and in critical reflection.
