AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this issue of Crossings (Volume 8, no. 3), in place of the postgraduate work-in-progress essays which have featured in the final issues of recent years, we publish a number of essays recently presented at a three-day 'masterclass' held in Brisbane and sponsored by the Australian Studies Centre at the University of Queensland. The subject of the masterclass was Territorial Techniques and presentations ranged across a broad cross-disciplinary range of topics in the area of spatial histories. Session leaders were Libby Robin, Tony Birch and Ross Gibson. More than 20 graduate students and younger researchers attended.' (David Carter introduction)

Indian Dreams, Eugenie Pinto , single work criticism
'Inez Baranay's Neem Dreams breaks new ground in its attempt to capture the spirit of India through one of its sacred objects-the neem tree. Opening as it does with an emphatic statement that 'it is a free tree' it goes on to question if it is still a free tree? The rest of the book attempts to explore this question in relation to four characters each of whom is connected in one way or the other with this 'miracle tree'.' (Introduction)
 
Leisure Overlanding in Australia, Laina Hall , single work criticism
'In the days of Tutankhamen the weight of many years had to bow your shoulders before you could claim to have seen of the world. Motor Transport has changed all this. The map of Australia awaits your exploration. Leave the beaten travel and follow the winding roads that lead to unknown wonders of your own country.'  (Introduction)
 
City Space / Festival Space, Mary Ann Hunter , single work criticism
'Growing out of western European medieval traditions of travelling players and carnivalesque anti-rule, the performing arts festival has become an increasingly global phenomenon. Almost each state in Australia has a capital city performing arts festival that claims to be international in scope, innovative in selection, and excellent in product. Similarly, in Europe, and now increasingly in South-East Asia, city performing arts festivals have become a significant part of local and national cultural development, as well as a magnet for cultural tourism. This is particularly evident in the Adelaide, Avignon, Edinburgh and Singapore Festivals.' (Introduction)
