Ang Lee's film adaptation of The Ice Storm(Bloomsbury Academic, 2015) Osborn, C.; Cowdell, S.; Fleming, C.; Hodge, J.Building on the growing recognition and critical acclaim of volumes 1 and 2 of Violence, Desire, and the Sacred, this third volume in the series showcases the most groundbreaking, interdisciplinary research in mimetic theory, with a focus on well-known films, television series, and other media. Mimesis, Movies, and Media reaches beyond the traditional boundaries of continental theory to demonstrate how scholars apply and develop René Girard's insights in light of contemporary media. It brings together major Australian and international scholars working at the intersection of popular culture and philosophy.Item Metadata only A case of mistaken indentity? Suikerlords and ladies, Tempo Doeloe and the Dutch colonial communities in nineteenth century Java(Carfax Publishing Ltd, 2001) Knight, G.The issue of acculturation is an important one in the history and historiography of Dutch colonialism in the Indies. In so far as there is any substantial orthodoxy, it is that the orientalisation of Java's Dutch communities had become very marked by the late seventeenth century and remained so for the next two hundred years. It was only with the changed global circumstances of the late colonial era, c. 1880 onwards, that Western modes began to assert themselves effectively against those of the East. In turn, the profound acculturation prior to that date of the Dutch colonial communities in the Indies, and in Java in particular, came to be associated with the notion of a Tempo Doeloe [lit: 'time past'], which provided a salient contrast to the markers of a subsequent, late-colonial 'modernity' This paper questions some of the basic assumptions of this orthodoxy, from a postcolonial standpoint that challenges its inherent colonial-era binaries. The nineteenth century family histories of a number of men and women - Suikerlords [Sugar Lords] and their Ladies - from the elite strata of Dutch colonial society in the Indies demonstrates that the cultural and social nexus between The Netherlands and the Indies throughout the nineteenth century was a good deal more intimate, and colonial identity significantly more ambivalent, than enduring stereotypes might allow.Item Metadata only A Cultural History of the Emotions in the Baroque and Enlightenment Age (1600-1780)(Bloomsbury Academic, 2019) Broomhall, S.; Davidson, J.; Lynch, A.; Lemmings, D.; Walker, C.; Barclay, K.The same eight themes are addressed in all six volumes: 1. Medical and Scientific Understandings 2. Religion and Spirituality 3. Music and Dance 4. Drama 5. The Visual Arts 6. Literature 7.Item Metadata only Item Metadata only A formula for courtesy in some English vernacular poems: Conventional traits, the use of common language, and the greation of "genre"(Presses Universitaires de Nancy, 2011) Bailey, M.; Stévanovitch, C.; Louviot, E.; Mahoux-Pauzin, P.; Hascoet, D.Item Metadata only A golden era: Japanese arts from Martindale Hall reunited(Antiques & Art in Australia Pty Ltd, 2009) Harris, J.The environs of the neo-Georgian Italianate mansion, Martindale Hall in South Australia's Clare Valley was the site of the film classic 'Picnic at Hanging Rock.' It also housed a significant collection of Japanese arts that became fashionable just after Japanese trade with the West opened in the mid-19th century. Dispersed in 1965 the collection is reunited for an exhibition that highlights the fashion for Japanese objects in the grand homes of Australia at the turn of the 20th century.Item Restricted 'A Halo of Protection': colonial protectors and the principle of aboriginal protection through punishment(Univ Melbourne, 2012) Nettelbeck, A.Scholarship on Australia's colonial protectorates has examined the ways in which protectors largely failed in their humanitarian mission, as well as the ambivalent roles they played as agents of ‘civilisation’. Yet as well as representing ‘friends and benefactors’ of Aboriginal people, colonial protectors worked to bring them within the legal reach of police, courts and prisons. This article will compare the work of the protectorates during the 1840s in Port Phillip and South Australia with that of Western Australia, where a more systematic and forebodingly modern policy of Aboriginal governance existed. It argues that in Western Australia a logic of Aboriginal protection emerged through a principle of discipline and punishment facilitated by the distinctive policy regime of Governor Hutt.Item Metadata only A History of South Australia(Cambridge University Press, 2018) Sendziuk, P.; Foster, R.A History of South Australia investigates the state's history from before the arrival of the first European explorers to today.Item Open Access A History of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide 1876-2012(University of Adelaide Press, 2012) Harvey, N.; Fornasiero, F.; McCarthy, G.; Macintyre, C.; Crossin, C.The Bachelor of Arts (BA) was the first recognised degree at the University of Adelaide. Although informal classes for some subjects were held at the University between 1873 and 1875, the first official University lecture was a Latin lecture at 10 am on Monday 28 March 1876. This was followed by lectures in Greek, English and Mental Philosophy. By 1878, the first BA student, Thomas Ainslie Caterer, completed his studies for the BA degree and in 1879 became the first graduate of the University of Adelaide. Even though the BA was the first degree it was not until eight years later in 1887 that the Faculty of Arts was inaugurated (after the Faculty of Law in 1884, a Board of Studies in Music in 1885 and the Faculty of Medicine in 1885). Following the creation of a separate science degree in 1882 many scientific subjects were removed from the BA. For the next five years the subjects were Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Logic, English, History, and Comparative Philology. Later other subjects such as French, German and Political Economy were added toward the end of the nineteenth century. In 1897 the Elder Conservatorium of Music was created as the first music school of its type in Australia, although at that time it was not part of the Faculty of Arts. In the first 50 years of the University’s existence, less than ten BA students graduated each year. At the start of the 21st century this figure had climbed to over 300 BA graduates per year but what is interesting is that by 2010 the number of BA graduates was equalled by the number of graduates from separate named degrees within the Faculty plus 70 Music graduates. In addition, during the first decade of the twenty-first century, there were over 60 coursework postgraduates plus more than 40 research postgraduates graduating each year.Item Metadata only A house of honey: White sugar, brown sugar, and the taste for modernity in colonial and postcolonial Indonesia(Routledge, 2009) Knight, G.This article sets out to review aspects of the history of a key world food commodity, and particularly to review the historical trajectory of white sugar and its links to ideas about “modernity.” It argues that the idea of white sugar, in tandem with the manufacture of this form of the commodity, was taken up by new elites in the new states of the ex-colonial world during the middle decades of the twentieth century, and (following Sidney Mintz) that white sugar became literally the taste of modernity for elites and masses alike. It explores the ramifications of this argument in the context of the Netherlands Indies/Indonesia during a period of time extending from the 1930s through the 1950s.Item Metadata only A king is killed in Marseille: France and Yugoslavia in 1934(George Rude Society, 2005) Drapac, V.French responses to the 1934 assassination in Marseille of King Alexander of Yugoslavia by Croatian and Macedonian émigrés provide the focus of this paper. French enthusiasm for the Yugoslav successor state, strong in the immediate post-war years, eventually subsided, markedly so following the assassination in the Belgrade parliament, in 1928, of leaders and representatives of the most popular Croatian party (the Croat Peasant Party) and the establishment of a repressive dictatorship in 1929. However, on the death of Alexander on French soil, republican France came out in support of the royal dictatorship of the Serbian “hero-king.” French reactions to the King’s death drew on iconic images of the Great War and Serbia’s role in it: companions in arms, the French and Yugoslavs were tied by an “indestructible” bond of friendship and a “boundless trust.” This paper invites speculation on the political consequences of the ways in which the Great War was remembered in the two countries.Item Metadata only A la recherche de la tomate perdue: The first French tomato recipe?(University of California Press, Journals Division, 2002) Santich, B.While tomatoes featured in numerous recipes in Italian and Spanish cookbooks of the eighteenth century, they were curiously absent from French cookbooks, although by the end of the eighteenth century tomatoes were certainly available in southern France. In the Archives Departementales de Vaucluse a handwritten recipe for a highly concentrated tomato puree, dated 1795, possibly represents the earliest French tomato recipe.Item Metadata only A matter of conscience? The democratic significance of 'conscience votes' in legislating bioethics in Australia(Australian Council Social Service Inc, 2009) Ross, K.; Dodds, S.; Ankeny, R.In Australia, members of a political party are expected to vote as a block on the instructions of their party. Occasionally a 'conscience vote' (or 'free vote') is allowed, which releases parliamentarians from the obligation to maintain party discipline and permits them to vote according to their 'conscience.' In recent years Australia has had a number of conscience votes in federal Parliament, many of which have focused on bioethical issues (e.g., euthanasia, abortion, RU486, and embryonic/stem cell research and cloning). This paper examines the use of conscience votes in six key case studies in these contested areas of policy-making, with particular attention to their implications for promoting democratic values and the significance of women's Parliamentary participationItem Metadata only A not so genteel pen: Grace Cossington Smith's 'British-Australian' cartoons(Lythrum Press, 2008) Speck, C.; Kerr, H.; Warner, L.Item Metadata only A peaceable historian at war: The passions of Trevor Wilson(Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW, 2005) Dare, R.Item Open Access A precocious appetite: Industrial agriculture and the fertiliser revolution in Java's colonial cane fields, c. 1880-1914(Singapore Univ Press, 2006) Knight, G.Late colonial sugar cane production in Java was characterised by the heavy use of (chemical) fertiliser in tandem with labour-intensive techniques and industrial work processes in the field. This article provides a useful corrective to an overemphasis on the extractive nature of the colonial economy of sugar and shows the truly industrial nature of plantation production. For students of colonial science and agriculture, the situation has additional ramifications, relating both to the role and ‘diffusion’ of scientific knowledge and to the historical dimensions of agricultural development in ‘the tropics’.Item Metadata only A Prime Minister reflects: The War Memoirs of David Lloyd George(Regina Books, 2000) Wilson, T.; Moses, J.; Pugsley, C.
