Class Acts
Stephen Fry has described the typical American comic hero as a freewheeling “wisecracker” compared to the English type, who is apt to be an aspirational lower-middle-class failure. With Fry as a prompt, we consider humour and class in the evolution—or devolution—of that representative local hero, the larrikin, during Australian television’s first three decades. This was a period that saw a realignment of the nation’s political, economic and cultu…
The multiplication of the margin
Price is one of the key axioms of capitalism. This paper seeks to understand the axiomatic status of this category in material terms by focusing on the nexus between housing, price, wealth and inequality. Within theories of marginal utility, it is the periphery – the margin – of a field of exchange that defines value and the ways in which it can be priced in circulation. However, even a brief assessment of contemporary housing markets reveals tha…
Mephisto
This article explores the resonances of objects that travelled between continents and the entangled imaginaries tied to them – here a 30-tonne German military tank captured by Australian soldiers during the First World War in France and shipped to Brisbane to be exhibited at the Queensland Museum. The author ‘reads’ the tank, intriguingly named ‘Mephisto’, as the apotheosis of nature/culture divide entrenched in nineteenth-century colonialism, wh…
Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglement
The role of German actors in European colonialisms, especially before the foundation of the German nation state in 1871 and Germany’s entry into imperialism proper with the so-called protectorates
The Leichhardt refrain
In 1845 an officer with the British Regiment garrisoning Sydney, Robert Lynd, wrote a memorial ode for his friend the German naturalist Ludwig Leichhardt who was presumed lost somewhere in north-eastern Australia. Lynd's text celebrated a future when “Science” had come “bright'ing o'er that weary land” and Leichhardt the imperialist explorer could be properly mourned, his resting place clearly identified. The composer Issac Nathan set Lynd's text…
The Young and the Restless

The Shadow
The Shadow' is a reflection on the destruction of the city of Hiroshima by an atomic bomb in 1945. It uses personal observation of the extant traces of the event in the contemporary city of Hiroshima, along with a number of historical sources, in order to understand this particular catastrophe as part of the wider experience of modernity in the twentieth century
Poetry

Stories and Story-tellers of Brazil. Vol. I, Folklore
