Peribiophoty
Creative practitioners inside academia are often tasked with explaining how their embodied practices constitute research. The Peribiophoty project reverses this paradigm to ask: how does academic research constitute embodied practice? By considering the personal and intellectual contexts (peri), surrounding academics and their biographies (bio), through audio-visual representation (photy), we investigate how academic thinking is embodied thinking…
Wandering in the wake of empire
British travellers had confidently made their way from Angora to Afghanistan, from the Cape to Cairo, from Nepal to New Zealand; their journeys were written up in the books that Evelyn Waugh reviewed. The imperial legacy was an ambiguous one for many post-imperial British travellers. Travel and tourism throughout the colonies allowed Britons a glimpse of modernisation under British or European administration, and to make comparisons between Briti…

Desert Passions
The Sheik—E. M. Hull's best-selling novel that became a wildly popular film starring Rudolph Valentino—kindled "sheik fever" across the Western world in the 1920s. A craze for all things romantically "Oriental" swept through fashion, film, and literature, spawning imitations and parodies without number. While that fervor has largely subsided, tales of passion between Western women and Arab men continue to enthrall readers of today's mass-market r…

Popular History and the Chinese Martial Arts Biopic
This article examines the popular uses of history in Hong Kong-Chinese biographical films about martial arts masters, focusing particularly on Ronny Yu’s Fearless/Huo Yuanjia (2006) and Wilson Yip’s Ip Man (2008) — two films that have been very popular in Asia. It considers the following questions: How is history being used? What kinds of histories are being created? And for whom? The article begins with a brief overview of the martial arts biopi…

Phantom limbs and cultural ventriloquism
This essay considers the ‘phantom presences’ that shadow attempts by novelists in contemporary Australia to communicate within and across cultures. Cross-cultural communication is haunted by ‘phantom limbs’ in all sorts of ways: the phantom limb of the revenant white nation, the phantom limbs of various cultures migrants left behind, and the phantom limb of ‘home’ – of ‘landscapes [which] ache in all places of departures’. The essay explores tech…

Future fusions and a taste for the past Literature, history and the imagination of Australianness
This article begins with a discussion of the ways in which history and literature have been mutually dependent activities, then moves on to examine the usage of Australian history in Australian literature. It concludes with a consideration of the new historical directions contemporary Australian literature is taking in terms of ‘fusion’ literature and reflects on what this might suggest for the future practice of Australian history

The continuum of sexual violence in occupied germany, 1945-49
This article explores male sexual violence against German women in Occupied Germany, 1945-49. Drawing upon the feminist sociological concept of a ‘continuum of sexual violence’, it argues that German women's experience of rape and prostitution must be seen in relation to other aspects of male sexual violence such as murder, verbal, visual and physical abuse, and sexual harassment. It seeks a historical explanation for this violence through an exa…
