“Turtles All the Way Down”
This is an article in three movements. Each takes as its object a public phenomenon of emotion: first, the representation of human emotions as homunculi in a recent children’s movie; second, the performance of the Australian cricket captain at a press conference concerning the death, on the field, of a team-mate; and, finally, the mass contagion of public grief in response to that death. Using these three episodes, the article develops an underst…

Oriental Exoticism in 1920s Australian Popular Music
Aline Scott-Maxwell provides a thorough account of 1920s musical exotica in Australia. Her study centres on published sheet music and examines the cultural perceptions and stereotypes which informed a large and popular body of work during the period. Her article complements the associated rise in popularity of Hawaiian music analysed by Coyle, J and Coyle, R in v2n2
On the Flow
Ian Maxwell offers a theoretical examination of the experience of (live) rapping within the Sydney hip-hop scene, which in turn develops analyses offered by Maxwell and Bambrick in Perfect Beat v2n1
Parallel Evolution
Performance studies at the University of Sydney has developed in relative isolation from the “main-stream” of performance studies in both North America and Europe, gathering itself around and in the context of a range of local constraints, concerns, and possibilities, with theatre at its center

Hip Hop Aesthetics and the Will to Culture 1
In this paper, based upon my field work with the self‐styled ‘Hip Hop Community’ in Sydney, in the early 1990s, I examine the material processes by which ‘cultural’ significance is articulated to a number of key practices, specifically, break‐dancing, rapping and graffiti. I argue that these practices are understood, within the scene, as being aesthetic practices, which operate to mimetically ‘represent’ a pre‐existing cultural essence—Hip Hop. U…
