Evaluating the Credibility of Storied Matter in the Context of Agential Realism
This study is defined within the context of the critical posthuman project of decentring humanist subjectivity. We argue that because agential realism, and the agency and performativity that go with it, do not enable non-human matter to be accountable, only human matter, in its intra-active becoming with non-human matter, can support an ethical project. Secondly, we map our understanding of Barad’s agential realism, explaining the importance of a…
T.C. Boyle’s A Friend of the Earth and the Posthumanization of Readers
This essay analyses how T.C. Boyle’s A Friend of the Earth represents an embodied character embedded in material and social environments (zoe-life) processing trauma using Braidotti’s affirmative ethics. It argues that readers experience a loss of individual agency instrumental to becoming posthuman. It connects current discussions on climate change and Anthropocene thinking to critical posthumanism in relation to shifting readers' subjectivities
A Fine Healthy Place’
This paper presents a close reading of Australian local newspapers The Queenslander, The Week, and The Logan Witness. It argues that by representing triumph over local challenges these newspapers also constituted a late-nineteenth-century civilizing process. They played a vital role in generating community cohesion. Stability and civilization were represented to the target audience of families and entrepreneurs as ‘natural’ and appropriately embo…
Ekphrasis as an Analytical Mode in Biography
This paper studies the earliest known extant work by Vida Lahey, Souvenir of the West Coast, as a means for the biographer to imagine how her character may be better understood through it. After outlining biography's epistemological terrain, I argue that the hybridity of biographical narrative lends itself to ekphrasis as biographical method. With a keen awareness of W. J. Mitchell's recognition that ekphrasis is a relationship of power, knowledg…
Vida Lahey's Progressive Activism for Children's Art Education
This article concentrates on artist Vida Lahey's Queensland-based activism for children's art classes in the context of progressive ideas that circulated between the wars. I argue that Lahey functioned within a wider, well-informed, democratic elite. Indeed, it was her social and cultural capital, and that of friend and sculptress Daphne Mayo, that enabled Lahey to actively constitute agency. Her activism, produced children's art classes in Brisb…

Janette Turner Hospital's The Last Magician in “An Expanded Field” 1
The article provides an overview of the novel "The Last Magician," by Janette Turner Hospital. The author gives a short orientation to the book and analyzes the way in which Hospital enables the readers to become more aware of how the subjects are constructed.
