The meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin (8-9 April, 1802)(George Rude Society, 2005) Fornasiero, F.; West-Sooby, J.The 1802 encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders has now entered Australian folklore. Most commentators concur that the famous meeting was conducted in a spirit of scientific cooperation that transcended the national rivalries of the day. Yet certain discrepancies between the accounts of the two captains are difficult to explain. These have generally been attributed to communication difficulties between the French navigator and his English-speaking counterpart. This assumption, however, is far from self-evident. We have thus chosen to canvass the full range of possible explanations for the conflicting accounts of that meeting, including the hypothesis that Flinders, who is generally considered a reliable witness, may indeed have misrepresented his encounter with Baudin. What emerges from this analysis is a picture of a meeting that was far less altruistic than is commonly believed—a meeting characterized, contrary to the legend, by the persistent undercurrent of political and personal motives.Item Metadata only 'A discreet character?'

When teaching for the Bachelor of Arts began in 1876, two years after the establishment of the University, there was naturally a limited number of classes available to students, and these covered what were at that time the traditional subject areas for an Arts degree in the British system: Latin and Greek, Philosophy, Mathematics, English Language and Literature, and the Natural Sciences. Right from the outset, however, French and German were formally recognised as areas of study at the level of the matriculation examination. Italian would soon be added (in 1882) to the range of matriculation subjects for which the University had oversight. While it would be several more years before modern language study could be counted towards the Bachelor of Arts (1887), and despite the fact that the first dedicated teaching appointment would not be made until another decade after that (in German), it is nevertheless the case that languages in general, and modern European languages in particular, formed part of the landscape of the University from its beginnings. Expertise in foreign languages was indeed readily available among the academic and administrative staff of the University from its inception – a reminder that training in languages, both classical and modern, was an integral component of the well-rounded scholar's education at the end of the nineteenth century.Item Open Access Accumulation and archives: Sophie Calle’s Prenez soin de vous(New Prairie Press, 2014) Edwards, N.French project artist Sophie Calle has become well-known for her iconoclastic performance art that blends visual and textual elements. Beginning with Les Dormeurs in 1979, in which she invited 24 strangers to sleep in her empty bed and photographed them hourly, through her project of following people around Paris and photographing them like a private detective in Suite vénitienne, Calle has blurred the boundaries between private and public, between photographer and photographed, and between viewer and participant. In this article, I focus on her recent exhibition, Prenez soin de vous. The title comes from the last line of an email received by Calle in which a lover ends their relationship. Rather than answer, file, or simply delete the message, Calle gave a copy of it to 107 women and asked them each to respond to it from the perspective of their different professions. Thus a singer sings it, a philosopher writes a piece in response to it, a DJ raps it, an accountant talks about the financial implications of it, a sexologist analyzes it, a typesetter corrects it and so on. The result is a mixed-media exhibit consisting of texts, photographs, films, and recordings. Although this was originally staged for the Venice Biennale of 2007, this paper looks specifically at the way in which it was staged in France: in the former Bibliothèque Nationale de France, rue Richelieu. In this article, I analyze this exhibit in terms of the accumulation that it stages. I show that the exhibit performs a hoarding of objects from different sources that, taken together, takes the notion of collective autobiography into new terrain. Through a discussion of Derrida’s Mal d’archive, I examine the living archive that the exhibition comprises. Interpreted in terms of the Bibliothèque Nationale that housed them, the textual and visual artifacts of this exhibition become an accumulation within a site of accumulation and push Calle’s innovation further, beyond the re-inscription of female subjectivity, the play between seeing and being seen, and the blurring of the public and private for which she is already celebrated.Item Restricted Acting, Performance and the Bressonian Impulse in Haneke's Films(Columbia University Press, 2011) McCann, B.; McCann, B.; Sorfa, D.Item Metadata only An appetite for discovery: The culinary adventures of Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders in Terra Australis, 1800-1804(East Street Publications, 2004) Fornasiero, F.; West-Sooby, J.; Martin, A.; Santich, B.Item Open Access An artist in the making: The early drawings of Charles-Alexandre Lesueur during the Baudin expedition to Australia(University of Adelaide Press, 2015) West-Sooby, J.; Edwards, N.; McCann, B.; Poiana, P.Item Open Access Annie Ernaux's phototextual archives: Ecrire la vie(University of Adelaide Press, 2015) Edwards, N.; Edwards, N.; McCann, B.; Poiana, P.Item Metadata only Anselme Ricard : lettres d'Australie(2010) Hambly, P.Item Metadata only Armed with fruit-knives: Transgression in Australian women's modernist still-lifes(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013) Lloyd, R.; Lloyd, R.; Fornasiero, J.Item Open Access Art and origin: Bataille and Blanchot's return to Lascaux(University of Adelaide Press, 2015) Poiana, P.; Edwards, N.; McCann, B.; Poiana, P.Item Restricted Autofiction in the dock: The case of Christine Angot(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2014) Edwards, N.; Angelo, A.; Fulop, E.Item Metadata only Autour de Michele le Doeuff(Monash Univ, 2003) Fornasiero, F.; Sankey, M.
