Applied linguistics research in Australia
The hundreds of articles published in the Australian Review of Applied Linguistics since its inception in 1977, as noted by Curnow and Kohler in their longitudinal study (2017), constitute a key resource for examining the nature of research in applied linguistics in Australia and its mutations over time. This study updates the findings of Curnow and Kohler, firstly by adding to the data analysis the articles that have appeared in ARAL since 2016,…
A confluence of interests
Building on the work of McNamara and Lo Bianco ( McNamara, 2001 ; McNamara & Lo Bianco, 2001 ), this article interrogates further the institutional and intellectual factors that led to the establishment of the Applied Linguistics Association of Australia (ALAA), which was officially constituted in 1976 at a conference organized at the University of Newcastle. It aims to show that, while both ALAA and the tradition of applied linguistics it foster…
Navigating Career
The historical account of the Baudin expedition, the Voyage de découvertes aux Terres Australes , has attracted considerable critical attention, notably for the way in which its lead author, the zoologist François Péron, positions himself as narrator and protagonist. In contrast, the companion volume devoted to the nautical work of the expedition, Navigation et Géographie , compiled by Péron’s collaborator Louis Freycinet, has aroused little by w…
The Culture of Commitment
Translating Friendship
Gérard de Nerval is well known for his translations of German poetry, and particularly for his 1848 publication of Die Nordsee by Heinrich Heine. What is less well known is that Nerval and Heine were both closely connected to an aspiring young poet, Cyprien-Marie Tessié du Motay, who also completed a French translation of Die Nordsee in the mid-1840s. Tessié’s literary career was not pursued beyond that period, which cast something of a veil over…
Matthew Flinders through French Eyes
The encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders off the south coast of New Holland in April 1802 has attracted considerable attention. For many, it has come to symbolise the triumph of the spirit of international scientific cooperation over national rivalries and personal ambitions. Scholarly analysis of the complexities of the encounter moment itself has, however, served to modify this idealised image. The injustice subsequently done t…
Discovery and Empire
Discovery and Empire is a collection of essays originating out of a symposium that was held at the State Library of South Australia on 8 July 2009. The symposium formed one of the strands of the XVIIth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Association of European Historians (6-9 July 2009), the overall theme for which was 'Europe’s Expansions and Contractions'.
The Practices of Translation
As commentators such as Brian Nelson have argued, literary translation is “a distinctive form of creative writing” that constitutes a “performance” of the source text. The fact that there can exist different translations of a given literary work, for example, is proof enough of the creative role played by the translator. It demonstrates that the translator has choices – choices that are far from trivial, especially when it comes to dealing with w…
Translating Nice Try into Bien joué
Notwithstanding its universal appeal, crime fiction frequently emerges as a vehicle for the expression of national identity. However, since the global readership of crime novels inevitably leads to their translation into other languages, the question arises as to what then happens to the national or cultural identity they project. Taking as a case study one of Shane Maloney's Murray Whelan novels, this article proposes a comparative analysis of t…
