Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian Mudie (1911-1976) was a man well ahead of his time who produced a body of work that deserves to be kept alive.A review of the collection by Dave Mack observes that: "The poet is watcher, gatekeeper of Truth, Whistle-blower, Elder, and true to his cause, Contrarian. Ian Mudie is all of this. His poetry (as represented in this fine collection) speaks from the heart with conviction and vigour. Employing vivid, elemental images of nature he pulls no punches and makes no concessions to those in his sights. .........Fiercely nationalistic with a strong sense of justice and equity, Mudie is driven by the conviction that white man has much to learn from our Indigenous cousins and bemoans the destructive influence of British Imperialism, in particular, its detrimental impact on the Australian environment and its original custodians. .................... Mudie was very active in the Australian literary scene, became editor in chief at Rigby Ltd. and organised the Adelaide Festival's world renowned Writers' Week from its inception in 1960 to 1972. A man of many talents, Mudie left a rich vein of images, notions and emotions derived from razor sharp perception and insight. He helps to remind us of the things that really matter in our lives and forces us to reflect on the State of Things as they stand today. And this is his greatest legacy. He reminds us that life, like the environment that sustains it, is fragile and tenuous as well as unique. And it is up to us, the guardians of the present and future to learn from the past and respect those customs and practices that sustain life and respect the land on which it depends. Mudie reminds us that we walk on a knife edge in a world that has lost its balance; and if we are not careful we could find ourselves at the tipping point in an instant."

Download or read book Before and After Corroboree The Music of John Antill written by Dr David Symons and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Antill (1904-1986) was one of the foremost composers of Australia’s ‘post-colonial period’. Although a relatively prolific and much esteemed composer in Australia, Antill’s wider reputation is sustained chiefly by his famous ballet Corroboree - a work which was perceived to bring an authentic Australian musical style before both a national and international audience for the first time. Through Sir Eugene Goossens’s championship, the work was heard by enthusiastic audiences in Australia, Britain, Europe and the USA, and was, for many years, the best-known work of any Australian-born and resident composer. Indeed it has remained, for both Australian and overseas audiences, an Australian musical ‘icon’. David Symons traces Antill’s development as a composer from his early, pre-Corroboree works, which display a late Romantic to post-impressionist style, through an analysis of the virile, dissonant, ‘primitivist’ idiom of his magnum opus, to an examination of his later output of theatrical, orchestral and vocal/choral works. The book provides comprehensive and valuable insight into Antill’s musical output, at the same time focussing on more detailed analyses of his major works which have reached public performances and/or recordings. In this way the book not only presents a developmental picture of Antill’s works, but also demonstrates why they have made him one of Australia’s most prominent musical creators of the post-colonial period.

Novelists, poets and playwrights have lived here; readers have pored over books, sharing them and discussing them; literary celebrities have visited and sometimes stayed; writers have encouraged each other and fought with each other. Adelaide is literary, too, in the sense of having been written about—sometimes with love, sometimes with scorn. Literature has been important not only to the city’s cultural life but to its identity, to the way it has been seen and, most importantly, to the way it has seen itself.

Download or read book River of the Sun written by Patricia Shaw and published by Headline. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: River of the Sun celebrates the pioneering spirit of the men and women whose courage and ambition laid the foundations of modern Australia. Patricia Shaw's stunning saga is perfect for fans of Tamara McKinley and Tricia McGill. When Perfection Middleton catches the eye of Darcy Buchanan, all hell breaks loose. Joint heir to the vast estate of Caravale in North Queensland, Darcy's a catch all right, and far too good for a lowly housemaid. That's what his family thinks, anyway, and his brother Ben does all he can to prevent the marriage; a scheme that goes tragically wrong... Lew Cavour is very taken with Perfy, too, but he gets caught up in the gold rush and the race to stake a claim on the river of gold, as does Ben Buchanan, who is determined to buy out Perfy's share of Caravale. But their journey to the river is dogged by disease, madness and murder. Diamond, an aborigine girl, has a profound effect on all their lives. Too intelligent to be content as the menial slave to which her colour condemns her, too sophisticated to return to her tribe, she feels at odds with both worlds. What readers are saying about River of the Sun: 'I just couldn't put it down' 'It kept me completely enthralled' 'Absolute page-turner'
Download or read book Opera Indigene Re presenting First Nations and Indigenous Cultures written by Pamela Karantonis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The representation of non-Western cultures in opera has long been a focus of critical inquiry. Within this field, the diverse relationships between opera and First Nations and Indigenous cultures, however, have received far less attention. Opera Indigene takes this subject as its focus, addressing the changing historical depictions of Indigenous cultures in opera and the more contemporary practices of Indigenous and First Nations artists. The use of 're/presenting' in the title signals an important distinction between how representations of Indigenous identity have been constructed in operatic history and how Indigenous artists have more recently utilized opera as an interface to present and develop their cultural practices. This volume explores how operas on Indigenous subjects reflect the evolving relationships between Indigenous peoples, the colonizing forces of imperial power, and forms of internal colonization in developing nation-states. Drawing upon postcolonial theory, ethnomusicology, cultural geography and critical discourses on nationalism and multiculturalism, the collection brings together experts on opera and music in Canada, the Americas and Australia in a stimulating comparative study of operatic re/presentation.

Book excerpt: Circulating Cultures is an edited book about the transformation of cultural materials through the Australian landscape.

Circulating Cultures crosses disciplinary boundaries, with contributions from historians, musicologists, linguists and dance historians, to depict shifts of cultural materials through time, place and interventions from people. It looks at the way Indigenous and non-Indigenous performing arts have changed through intercultural influence and collaboration.
