  • Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s K2 Telephone Kiosk — A Design Classic

    Open AccessNigel Linge, Neil Johannessen et al.ARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2024

    The red telephone kiosk or box has become synonymous with Britain, standing as an icon of national identity. Yet, of all the versions of kiosk that have been introduced, only two have achieved this exalted status. This paper explores how the telephone box evolved within the UK, details the circumstances that led to an architect becoming involved in their development, and describes how Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s design was transformed into Britain’…

  • A Great First Cause in Colonisation’

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEAustralian Historical Studies2024

    Historical acoustemology allows us to contemplate practices and meanings of non-Indigenous listening in Central Australia and determine how they aligned with processes of settlement. In the 1930s, a new form of listening emerged among remote non-Indigenous women. Modern communities of female transceiver-listeners used radio for two-way communication and networking, and feminist broadcasters quickly picked up the model, undermining pessimistic ana…

  • Noisy silences

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEHistory Australia2022

    Silence is a powerful concept that many read in stark metaphorical, binarised and/or ahistorical terms. By contrast, sound historians can show how metaphors like silence take on specific historical power, but elide complexity in the heard world, and how they change. This article uses Robyn Davidson’s popular travelogue, Tracks (1980), to investigate how the non-Indigenous meanings of the iconic motif of Central Australian silence were shifting in…

  • Eerie Sounds, Then and Now

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEJournal of Australian Studies2022

    Mid-century non-Indigenous visitors to Central Australia such as the naturalist Hedley Finlayson (author of The Red Centre, 1935) and the journalist-cum-conservationist Arthur Groom (author of I Saw a Strange Land, 1950) wrote popular works that overturned prejudices about a “dead heart” and encouraged subsequent visitors and tourists. Yet they were often unsettled by eerie sounds. This article uses Mark Fisher’s notion of eeriness, as well as li…

  • In Celebration of the K8 Telephone Kiosk – Britain’s Last Red, Cast-Iron Phonebox

    Nigel Linge, Andy Sutton et al.ARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2020

    Whilst every country in the world has introduced phoneboxes onto its streets, the United Kingdom stands alone in having adopted the red phonebox as a symbol of its national identity. However, that symbol is of phonebox designs produced by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1925/35 and not of the more contemporary ones that followed it. When introduced in 1968, the Bruce Martin-designed K8 kiosk or phonebox was hailed as a masterpiece of industrial design, ye…

  • Reports, silences and repercussion

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLERethinking History2020Referencias: 10

    One of the most mythologised Australian explorers is the Prussian-born Ludwig Leichhardt, who famously ‘disappeared’ in 1848. The only seemingly authenticated relic from his final journey is a gunplate, purchased by the National Museum of Australia in 2006. In a context conditioned by the Australian History Wars, the Museum presents the plate in singularising, largely heroicising fashion and occludes the uses to which the gun was once put. Howeve…

  • Whistling the Death March? Listening in to the Acoustics of Ludwig Leichhardt's Australian Exploration

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEAustralian Historical Studies2019

    Scholars considering the acoustics of exploration have focused on how explorers heard Australian space in terms of silence, to argue this silenced Indigenous presence, or that stillness, was incongruous with how a place to be colonised should sound. I focus on the acoustically attuned Ludwig Leichhardt, a science-poet indebted to the Enlightenment, but also engaged with the German Romantic legacy. The manifold acoustic dimensions of expeditioning…

  • Popular Music, Memory, and Aestheticized Historiography in a Minor Key

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEPopular Music & Society2019Referencias: 4

    Music, memory, and historicity relate to each other at a number of levels. I use Einstürzende Neubauten’s Lament (2014) to think through possibilities of musically engaging with history and memory, and to question what functions this particular minor-key musical memory of World War I fulfils. Music such as Lament offers a multimodal connection with the past and can generate in listeners a strong historical sensation. It can thereby activate the l…

  • Soundtracking Germany

    Open AccessAndrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEGerman History2019

    Melanie Schiller has made an important contribution to the discipline of popular music studies, and to our understanding of German Zeitgeschichte in her book, Soundtracking Germany. She explains how the national has been neglected by the field of popular music studies, which is more interested in either the local or subcultural, or conversely in much larger flows involved in the globalization of the popular music industry. Her five chronologicall…

  • Remembering Hermannsburg and the Strehlows in cantata form

  • Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglement

    Lindsay Barrett, Lars Eckstein et al.ARTICLEPostcolonial Studies2018

  • Farewell My Country? Hermannsburg, Gus Williams, and the Indigenised Heimatlied

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew W HurleyARTICLEJournal of Australian Studies2017

    This microhistory focuses on a little-known aspect of Indigenous musical life in the 1960s in the Lutheran Hermannsburg Mission (now Ntaria) in Central Australia. I contemplate the possible meanings arising when Gus and Rhonda Williams translated the secular German Heimat- cum-Wanderlied [song of home-cum-wandering], “Ade du mein Heimatland”, [Farewell to you my homeland], into Arrarnta as “Ade pmara nukai” [Farewell my country], and “presenced I…

  • Remaking the Rust Belt

    Andrew HurleyARTICLEJournal of American History2017Citada por: 2

    Remaking the Rust Belt documents the crystallization of a late twentieth-century urban redevelopment agenda in North American cities that relied on public-private partnerships to recruit white-collar workers and the service, financial, and cultural firms that employed them. While this neoliberal turn in urban policy was influenced by a rightward drift in national politics, implementation required considerable innovation and determination at the l…

  • Chasing the Frontiers of Digital Technology

    Andrew HurleyARTICLEThe Public Historian2016Citada por: 3

    Digital technology has unquestionably become central to the enterprise of public history and cultural heritage. Yet the extent to which digital technologies have helped public historians animate higher levels of civic engagement and activism is unclear and becomes particularly problematic in the context of the digital divide. This essay examines the implications of that divide through an analysis of a community-engagement project in a distressed …

  • Moderne Lüste

    Andrew HurleyARTICLEGerman History2016

    Detlef Siegfried’s excellent biography fills a historiographic hole by devoting sustained attention to a figure who was prominent in several important cultural fields—jazz criticism, film and television, fiction writing and sexology—in a variety of locations from his native Germany to Britain and North America, through to Austria, but who is now, two decades after his death, forgotten. Ernest Borneman has not been subject to a scholarly biography…

  • How 'Afro-Americanophilia' became Polyphilia

    Open AccessAndrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEPORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary…2015

    This article contributes to our understanding of the continuities and disconnects in the way that ‘race,’ and in particular African-American culture, were conceived of in the long postwar era in West Germany. It does so by examining some salient racial aspects in the writings and production activities of West-German ‘jazz pope,’ Joachim-Ernst Berendt, between the late 1940s and the mid-1980s. I demonstrate that the late 1960s brought about a shar…

  • Beyond the Sakura Waltz

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew W HurleyARTICLEPerfect Beat2015

    Andrew Hurley has written previously for Perfect Beat with an article examining jazz links between Indonesia and Germany (v8n1). The article in this issue explores relationships between jazz in Japan and West Germany, after noting a series of interesting parallels in society and changes experienced in the post-war era in both countries. In examining encounters between jazz musicians from the two countries, and the use of traditional Japanese inst…

  • German-Indigenous musical flows at Ntaria in the 1960s

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEPerfect Beat2015

    This article focuses on aspects of Indigenous musical life in the 1960s at and around Ntaria (formerly Hermannsburg) in Central Australia, and isolates one flow between German missionary sources and the Indigenous musical culture—the Christmas carol ‘Stille Nacht’ (aka ‘Silent Night’), which became ‘Inguwa inturtai’, now also known as ‘Hymn 44’. I explore some of the meanings that are invested in a particularly striking yet ambiguous deployment o…

  • No Fixed Address, but currently in East Berlin

    Andrew Hurley, Andrew Wright HurleyARTICLEPerfect Beat2015

    In his work on multidirectional memory, Michael Rothberg makes the point that “[a]lthough it is difficult to grasp today [...] communism provided one of the discursive spheres [...] in which the articulation of genocide and colonialism could first be attempted.” In this article, I explore the Indigenous reggae-rock band No Fixed Address’s performance, just after Australia Day 1988, at the East German Festival of Political Song, one of the surpris…

  • Survey Essay 2. Periodizing and Historicizing German Afro-Americanophilia

    Open AccessMatthew Ege, Moritz Ege et al.ARTICLEPORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary…2015Referencias: 9

    In our second periodizing essay, we begin with the ‘turning point’ of the late 1960s, when German Afro-Americanophilia modulated and intensified, and we then contemplate the rise of interest in the Black Diaspora amongst the new social movements, second-wave feminists, and Afro-German activists in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as various important moments in the German reception and re-contextualisation of African-American coded popular music such…

  • Introduction

    Open AccessMatthew Ege, Moritz Ege et al.ARTICLEPORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary…2015Referencias: 5

    From a ‘provincial’ and (hopefully) self-aware European perspective, it is clear that cultural forms or practices that originated among African Americans have, beyond their value to African Americans themselves and people elsewhere, contributed tremendously to life on the European continent. Those contributions include everything from the political imaginaries of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, through philosophical thought, to litera…

  • Survey Essay 1. Periodizing and Historicizing German Afro-Americanophilia

    Open AccessMatthew Ege, Moritz Ege et al.ARTICLEPORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary…2015Referencias: 12

    In this first essay, we delve into significant moments in the history (and pre-history) of twentieth century Afro-Americanophilia in Germany. We establish a periodisation stretching from the nineteenth century until the mid-1960s (from which point our second essay will continue), and take in the pre-colonial, the colonial, the Weimar, the Nazi; and the post-war eras. We draw out some of the particularly significant moments, ruptures, and continui…
