    A JohnstonARTICLEJournal of Australian Studies2019

    The returned Australia-Japan Foundation Visiting Professor of Australian Studies at the University of Tokyo (2014–15), Anna Johnston, reflects on a 2014 exhibition held in Tokyo: The Bunkamura Museum of Art’s “Captain Cook’s Voyage and Banks’ Florilegium.” The Florilegium continues to have resonance as part of Australia’s complex colonial inheritance from the Enlightenment past.

  • Flora Annie Steel: A Critical Study of an Unconventional Memsahib

    Susmita Roye, Amrita Banerjee et al.BOOKFlora Annie Steel2017

    Flora Annie Steel (1847–1929) was a contemporary of Rudyard Kipling and rivaled his popularity as a writer during her lifetime, but her legacy faded due to gender-biased politics. She spent 22 years in India, mainly in the Punjab. This collection is the first to focus entirely on this “unconventional memsahib” and her contribution to turn-of-the-century Anglo-Indian literature. The eight essays draw attention to Steel’s multifaceted work—ranging …

  • Empire Calling: Administering Colonial Australasia and India

    A. J. B.

He escorts the reader through French and Br…

  • Ted Brader. Campaigning for Hearts and Minds: How Emotional Appeals in Political Ads Work

    A JohnstonARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly2006Cited by: 1

    If there is one common belief about political ads, it’s that they are filled with emotional appeals designed to make us feel certain ways about candidates, their campaigns, and the election. Ted Brader’s Campaigning for Hearts and Minds explores that belief through a systematic look at how the nonverbal dimensions (music and visual imagery) in political ads affect our reaction to candidates, politics, and ads. The main focus of the book is the ex…

  • Control and Order in French Colonial Louisbourg, 1713-1758

    Luca Codignola, A Johnston et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Traditionally depicted as a failure, since it was conquered each time it was attacked (1745, 1758), French Louisbourg is now regarded as an ancien régime success story. Indeed, as A. J. B. (John) Johnston explains, Louisbourg was not a fort, but a full-fledged fortified town, the largest urban center of present-day Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, established to safeguard the French cod fishery. All in all, the colony's cod fishery “returned th…
