Download or read book Sheep and the Australian Cinema written by Deb Verhoeven and published by Melbourne University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly readable study of Australian cinema, Deb Verhoeven explores the relationship between a series of films produced in different periods of Australian history that are linked by a common thread-the repeated image of sheep. Verhoeven focuses on two key 'sheep films': The Squatter's Daughter (Hall, 1933) and Bitter Springs (Smart, 1950). Both movies are concerned with the national project, in which sheep growing and nation building are seamlessly aligned. But Verhoeven artfully demonstrates that it is precisely in their emphasis on textual re-iteration and repetition that the sheep films critique an otherwise ostensibly 'national' vision. In the process Verhoeven sheds new light on the importance and implication of discourses of originality in the Australian cinema. "Truthfully I will never see these films in quite the same way againandhellip;it is in the best sense a strangely compelling and unsettling book." Professor Tom O'Regan University of Queensland
Download or read book A Distinctive Voice in the Antipodes written by Kirsty Gillespie and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays honours the life and work of Stephen A. Wild, one of Australia’s leading ethnomusicologists. Born in Western Australia, Wild studied at Indiana University in the USA before returning to Australia to pursue a lifelong career with Indigenous Australian music. As researcher, teacher, and administrator, Wild’s work has impacted generations of scholars around the world, leading him to be described as ‘a great facilitator and a scholar who serves humanity through music’ by Andrée Grau, Professor of the Anthropology of Dance at University of Roehampton, London. Focusing on the music of Aboriginal Australia and the Pacific Islands, and the concerns of archiving and academia, the essays within are authored by peers, colleagues, and former students of Wild. Most of the authors are members of the Study Group on Music and Dance of Oceania of the International Council for Traditional Music, an organisation that has also played an important role in Wild’s life and development as a scholar of international standing. Ranging in scope from the musicological to the anthropological—from technical musical analyses to observations of the sociocultural context of music—these essays reflect not only on the varied and cross-disciplinary nature of Wild’s work, but on the many facets of ethnomusicology today.
Download or read book Australian Indigenous Drama written by Mark Eckersley and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This blog, and the book it's taken from, 'Australian Indigenous Drama' (2012) attempt to provide a general overview of Australian Indigenous Drama through giving some insight into its history, cultural background, perspectives and practices. It attempts to provide a link between the dramatic elements in more traditional ceremonies and the vibrant Indigenous Theatre which evolved in the 1970's and remains pivotal to the Australian theatre scene today in the 21st Century. Australian indigenous performing arts have always been a complex integration of different narratives and cross-arts dialogue, and the preference of some western commentators to centre observations about Indigenous drama on the written word and on plays and playwriting, takes away from long traditions and the richness of Indigenous drama as a living dialogue between traditions, ceremonies, forms and individual and shared histories. It is deceptive to think of Indigenous Australian playwrights like Kevin Gilbert, Jack Davis, Jimmy Chi, and Wesley Enoch as writers who sat alone in a room (or in Kevin Gilbert's case, in a jail cell) and simply wrote what have become seminal pieces of Australian drama. Rather these artists have shared their stories, their histories and their skills in various ways and through various performing arts and in conjunction with other indigenous artists. This helps to make gatherings such as the rehearsals for Out of the Dark (1951), the Indigenous Tent Embassy performances (1970-71), the workshops held at the beginning of the Sydney Black Theatre (1972) and the 1st National Black PlaywrightâĨœs Conference (1987) more understandable as central to the development of Australian Indigenous Drama. It may seem daunting to directors, classroom teachers and drama educators to study Australian Indigenous Drama and include material about Indigenous culture in studies of drama but the experiences are well worth it. This material is written for a broad range of readers. Firstly, for those at university and high school studying drama and theatre and then for IB Theatre, A Level, HSC and VCE Senior Drama and Theatre Studies school students. It provides information, material for research and practical exercises for the study of Australian indigenous drama as part of a World Theatre context. For university students and teachers, it offers an overview of Australian indigenous drama while providing materials and suggestions of avenues that students may want to explore further. For those interested in the performance of indigenous drama and those who see regular live theatre, it provides an insight into a very important part of the landscape of modern Australian theatre. Australian Indigenous drama, like traditional indigenous belief systems, tends to embrace a complex network of human, geographic and spiritual relationships. Australian indigenous drama is not just a form that can be replicated, because it involves approaches and perspectives that are unique to indigenous culture. It involves many dramatic aspects from traditional dreamtime dance drama through to the social realist dramas of the 1970âĨœs and the 1980âĨœs through to the post-modern Australian Indigenous drama of the 1990âĨœs and early 21st century..." -- From blogs first post.
