A Reflection on the Role of Tourism within Vulnerable Biodiverse Reef and Rainforest Regions: A Case-Study from Mission Beach and the Cassowary Coast
It is heartening to see that so many of the scholarly and personal contributions of our special issue should have addressed the complex collisions between culture and nature manifested today within Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest World Heritage Areas
Death by a thousand words: Mike Leigh’s Peterloo
The worst possible outcome for a historical filmmaker is to have one’s epic canned as ‘boring’, yet this is the opinion of many reviewers of Mike Leigh’s recent film Peterloo. Reluctantly, I have t

Linking the Local and the Global. What Today’s Environmental Humanities Movement Can Learn from Their Predecessor’s Successful Leadership of the 1965–1975 War to Save the Great Barrier Reef
For a decade from 1965–1975, an Australian poet, Judith Wright, and a Reef artist, John Busst, played a major role in helping to save the Great Barrier Reef. The Queensland State Government had declared its intention of mining up to eighty percent of the Reef’s corals for oil, gas, fertiliser and cement. The campaign of resistance led by these two humanists, in alliance with a forester, Dr. Len Webb, contributed substantively to the establishment…
Jill Roe: My boss, my mentor and my friend
[Extract] I arrived at Macquarie University in January 1972 in order to get some clear air by taking work as a tutor in history while struggling to finish a postgraduate thesis at the Australian National University. I knew nobody at Macquarie and, as a relatively recent migrant from Central Africa, next to nothing about the history department. I’d been hired to tutor there in a large compulsory first year history course called ‘The West in Early …
Humanities for the Environment—A Manifesto for Research and Action
Human preferences, practices and actions are the main drivers of global environmental change in the 21st century. It is crucial, therefore, to promote pro-environmental behavior. In order to accomplish this, we need to move beyond rational choice and behavioral decision theories, which do not capture the full range of commitments, assumptions, imaginaries, and belief systems that drive those preferences and actions. Humanities disciplines, such a…
Rethinking Invasion Ecologies from the Environmental Humanities
Research from a humanist perspective has much to offer in interrogating the social and cultural ramifications of invasion ecologies. The impossibility of securing national boundaries against accidental transfer and the unpredictable climatic changes of our time have introduced new dimensions and hazards to this old issue. Written by a team of international scholars, this book allows us to rethink the impact on national, regional or local ecologie…
Making Culture Bloom
On 16 June 1904, exactly one hundred years before the establishment of CHASS, an Irish Jew of Hungarian extraction called Leopold Bloom set off on a twenty-four hour perambulation around the streets and bars of Dublin. This fictional incident is the basis of James Joyce's Ulysses, the greatest novel of modern times. It has also given rise to Bloomsday, a kind of Irish literary holy day celebrated in cities all around the world. It was a specially…

Failing with Livingstone: A Voyage of Reenactment on Lake Nyassa
In early January 1980 I sailed up the West Coast of Lake Nyassa, Central Africa, in a somewhat down-at-heel steamer, the SS Ilala II . Malawi Railways runs the service for local transportation because large sections of the dirt roads bordering the Lake are impassable in the wet season. Though the Ilala was licensed to carry around 400 passengers, more than twice that number were crammed into the open lower-deck area, along with a mass of goats, c…

Spectres of Quackery: The Fragile Career of Philippe de Loutherbourg
During the 40-odd years that the Alsatian-born, French-trained artist Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg lived in Britain, he became a triple celebrity. A decade after his migration to Britain in 1771 his achievements as a picturesque landscape artist were celebrated in election to the Royal Academy. During the same period he also worked for David Garrick at Drury Lane theatre as the highest-paid scenographer in Britain. Critics hailed him as a gen…

Controlling the Riots: Dickens, Barnaby Rudge and Romantic Revolution
Barnaby Rudge (1841) remains one of Charles Dickens's most consistently underestimated and misunderstood novels. Though he thought of it with pride as his most ambitious early work and planned it longer and more meticulously than any other of his novels, its poor critical reception has persisted up to the present day. Early commentators believed that Dickens departed too far from the historical record in his sympathetic treatment of ‘mad’ Lord Ge…

Mad Lord George and Madame La Motte: Riot and Sexuality in the Genesis of Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France
Throughout the first year of the French Revolution The Times newspaper could not decide who was the madder, Lord George Gordon or Edmund Burke. The former as a violent incendiary and convicted libeler had fortunately been safely locked in Newgate the previous year, but Burke was still loose. The newspaper had no doubt that he belonged in Bedlam; there could be no other explanation for his obsessive campaign to impeach Warren Hastings long after e…

Females, Feminism and Free Love in an Early Nineteenth Century Radical Movement
Whilst labour historians have long acknowledged the presence of women in English popular radical movements during the seminal struggles of the early nineteenth century, surprisingly little is known about the nature of their involvement. Basic questions remain to be answered. How widespread was this involvement and what was its moti vation? To what extent did it reflect interest in explicitly female claims and rights, or more general aspirations f…
