The worldly text and the production of more-than-literary place
Literature about place is frequently conceived by writers and readers as a response to, or a reproduction of, place. This essay is an intervention in disciplinary and interdisciplinary conceptualisations of literature and place where the text is positioned as a product of place. Our objective here is to provide an account of how literature might produce place, or more specifically, an account of how certain literary texts contribute to the produc…

Using the nexus between creativity and the urban as a starting point, the authors investigate how local enterprises visually communicate the urban in a neighbourhood that is characterized by the interf…

This article proposes that MasterChef is instead invested in deferring the attainment of professional status …

Last year, the ABC's Media Watch (17 Oct. 2005) noted the continuing outrage in the tabloid media over "the dirtiest house in NSW". The program took issue with Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph, and the descriptor "exclusive" attached to their article on a property in beachside Bondi (9 Oct. 2005). In fact, as Media Watch pointed out, Channel Seven's current affairs flagship Today Tonight had already made repeat visits to the residence. A Curr…
