Intimacy, Trust, and Justice on The Greatest Menace, a Podcast Exposing a “Gay Prison”
In the tradition of narrative podcasts exposing historical injustices, The Greatest Menace (TGM) examines how a government-run prison in Australia used those imprisoned to study the causes and treatments of homosexuality. Hosted by gay Arab-Australian journalist Patrick Abboud, TGM interweaves Abboud’s struggle for acceptance in his homophobic community with his forensic documentation of lives ruined by a society where homosexuality was illegal t…
The Invisible Art of Audio Storytelling
Narrative podcasts and radio documentaries are a built form, as carefully crafted as a good film. They apply the grammar, logic, and aesthetics of the audio medium to storytelling technique, paying particular attention to tone, texture, and temporality. This chapter examines the poetics of sound by conceptualizing the craft behind the making of three accomplished audio stories to deepen the way that both creatives and their audiences can engage w…
Apace
Researching nonfiction writing about where you call home is one way of appreciating conservation challenges. Living at the edge of the Great North Woods in Maine, I have found this work to be enriched by daily dog walks that cumulatively mark changes across time. Structured as a seasonal cycle, this essay ponders an idiosyncratic collection of evidence of more-than-human comings and goings, witnessed on two feet, accompanied by four more, in the …

Bringing together podcasting, social work field education and learning about practice with Aboriginal peoples and communities
Social work content podcasting has increased exponentially in recent years, playing a new role in the emerging social work education debate surrounding online and remote delivery of social work content. Although podcasting itself is not now a new digital innovation, how and why social work educators and academics would embrace the use of podcasting is still debated and is often positioned as inferior to face-to-face classroom teaching. In the Aus…

Love in a Time of Slaughters
Mourning Humans and Other Animals through Fictional Taxidermy Collections
Lydia Millet’s Magnificence (2012) and Henrietta Rose-Innes’s The Green Lion (2015) stage various repurposings of taxidermy collections as acts of mourning that loft fragile alternatives to the melancholia, narcissism, and depression that haunt histories of mass killings. Set at the turn of the twenty-first century, a period marked by what affect theorist Lauren Berlant terms “cruel optimism,” or a perverse desire for the obstacles to flourishing…

Oral history and the radio documentary/feature
In an era when audio is increasingly associated with three-minute digital storytelling, the use of crafted oral history in long-form radio narratives deserves to be recognized as a specific genre: the 'COHRD' (Crafted Oral History Radio Documentary), a blend of oral history, art and radio journalism. The author, a long-term practitioner of both disciplines, compares the theory and practice of oral history interviewing and the narrative concerns o…
Remembering a Renaissance Elephant and His Mahout
Bitch, Bitch, Bitch
By the turn of the twenty‐first century, women writing about electing to share their lives with female canines directly confront a strange sort of backlash. Even as their extensions of the feminist forms of personal criticism contribute to significant developments in theories of sex, gender, and species, they become targets of criticism as “indulgent” for focusing on their dogs. Comparing these elements in and around popular memoirs like Caroline…
The Affective Power of Sound
Using illustrative audio clips, this article offers insights into the historical symbiosis between oral history and radio and the relationship between orality, aurality, and affect that makes radio such a powerful medium for the spoken word. It does so through a discussion of the concept of affect as it applies to oral history on radio and through a description and analysis of crafting oral history for the radio documentary form.

Queer (And) Animal Theories
Nonhuman nonheteronormativity presents a profound challenge not just to identity forms but more importantly to disciplinary habits of thinking of human subjectivity as the default form of social agency. To elaborate this point, this essay surveys how some recent books, including Roughgarden's Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, Donna Haraway's When Species Meet, Alice A. Kuzniar's Melancholy's Dog, and Jens…

Being Out of Time
Discusses representations of animal gods in popular and critically successful extinction fictions 'in order to demonstrate why their representations of animal gods deliberately connect specific and historically underrepresented acts of genocide to species extinctions. More precisely, I examine the ways in which nonhuman deities, in the form of animals, become involved in contemporary narratives of the historical demise of ecosystems and societies…
Real Artificial
Although touted by promoters as the cutting edge of food science, meat produced in vitro (rather than from a whole animal) is emerging more directly from developments in fine art-more specifically, from the aesthetic experiments of Australian-based artists Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, who ask: What language do we have to describe the agency of tissue-cultured life? This essay begins to answer this question by tracing a tradition whereby bioengineer…
Modern Animals
Advancing theories of literature and animality requires both recognizing the failures of traditional humanist models that separate and elevate people over all "things" animal as well as identifying and developing alternative forms. Along with providing fresh readings and important insights about representative texts in the literary canon, two new books—Carrie Rohman's Stalking the Subject: Modernism and the Animal (2009) and Philip Armstrong's Wh…

The Snowy - The People Behind The Power
The construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme between 1949 and 1974 still ranks as one of the world's greatest engineering feats. For Australia, it marked a passage from the Old World to the New and became a monument to multiculturalism along the way.\nWith over 300 photographs and based on interviews with hundreds of those who were part of the scheme The Snowy is the definitive account of this unique project which was, in the wor…

Video Dog Star
The canine photographs, videos, and photographic narratives of artist William Wegman frame questions of animal aesthetic agency. Over the past 30 years, Wegman's dog images shift in form and content in ways that reflect the artist's increasing anxiety over his control of the art-making process once he becomes identified, in his own words, as "the dog photographer". Wegman's dog images claim unique cultural prominence, appearing regularly in fine …

Primate Encounters
Primate Encounters proceeds from the assumption that sharing research commitments transforms what could be a polarized field of "science wars" into a generative space ripe for the more mutually beneficial, ongoing engagements that its editors term "science encounters." With this volume, anthropologists Shirley C. Strum and Linda Marie Fedigan pursue an ambitious plan of forming the basic unit of such encounters: new multidisciplinary models or "t…

Killing Animals (review)
Not in Front of the Altar
Birth, death and marriage traditionally evoke our most powerful expressions of intimacy and sentiment. Yet for numerous Australian families up to the 1970s, those occasions triggered the opposite sentiments: estrangement, conflict and hostility, which sometimes endured beyond the grave. The cause: ‘mixed marriage’ between Catholics and Protestants in a pre-multicultural Australia, where religion was still code for a social and political identity …
