Critical considerations of the challenges of teaching national literatures in Australia in the 21st century
Reading in the (post)digital age
While “born digital” artefacts such as video games and e-books have been part of secondary school English in Anglophone countries for over two decades, databases of mass-digitised (hence “re-mediated”) literary texts are yet to have a significant presence in, or influence on, literary work in subject English. The authors contend that engagement with these digitised texts requires a postdigital “literary literacy”. They explore how “distant readin…
Toward Worlding Settler Texts
Using Miles Franklinâ s My Brilliant Career as its focus, this paper explores the institutional possibilities and constraints of â worldingâ settler texts in secondary school and university environments. We argue that the teaching of texts, and those who teach texts in schools and universities, play a key role in negotiating national and international textual boundaries. This paper expands on the practices of reading, to incorporate an analysis o…

Harry Potter's Secret
This article focuses on publishing sensations across time and culture by drawing a line between the publication of M. E. Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret in 1861–2 and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (1997–2007). In presenting case studies we draw out similarities in the production, reception and circulation of these texts and highlight their shared writing and reading contexts. We contend that these texts, although they were launched into disc…

The Other Seven Little Australians’
Martin suggests that The Man Who Loved Children â can be read as a rewriting of â ¦ Ethel Turnerâ s Seven little Australians and argues that while the novel can be seen as â a response to the plotting laid out in nineteenth-century humanist realist fiction for girlsâ , considering â the novel in relation to specifically Australian examples, and to Seven Little Australians in particular, suggests a reaction against, and a â refunctioningâ of, the …

Getting a Head
The article examines the use of bodily metaphors of dismemberment and beheading in Drewe's novel about the fate of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, The Savage Crows, in light of the Western historic notion of the 'social body' and the body of the state. It concludes that 'In a critique of the ways in which contemporary Australian society rests on but denies the fragmentation and dismemberment of Aboriginal communities in the past, this novel dism…
