Welsh-born author and playwright John Naish worked and wrote on the North Queensland canefields between 1950 and 1963. Assisted by unpublished works, letters and diaries shared by the Naish family, this study outlines the full contents of Naish’s known oeuvre for the first time. It focuses on the depiction of canefield labour and society in two novels, an autobiographical piece and five plays – some newly discovered. Attitudes in his writings to sugar country class divisions, to workers and their rights, to canefield labour and labourers, to gender divisions and conflicts in the towns and fields, to race, Indigenous Australians and to British and Italian immigrants are exemplified and examined. Extensive evidence supports the conclusion that Naish was a liberal and compassionate thinker. Always competent and sometimes powerful as literature, together his works comprise an authentic socio-historical document.

In this memoir, Antonella Riem reflects on her long career in Australian literary studies in Italy and internationally, and the scholars who have inspired her. She then outlines the principles of the partnership model of literary studies that she has developed over many years, and how she applies her approach to Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘Kubla Khan’ and David Malouf’s An Imaginary Life.

The figure of Costante Danesi (1884–1969) stands out as an unrelenting defender of the rights of Italian migrants in Queensland’s history between the two world wars. Although his activism as an anti-fascist is documented in archival records and mainstream and Italian-migrant newspapers of the time, his role has received little more than cursory attention by scholars to date. This has led not only to confusion about his politics but also neglect of an opportunity for a deeper appreciation of the intercultural dimensions of resilience during the interwar years. Arriving in Australia in 1921, Danesi was not alone in speaking up to defend Italian migrants’ contributions to society or in aiding their wellbeing, and his activism in protecting their rights aligned with the principles of democracy. Yet an examination of those struggles reveals how the experiences of Italian sugarcane workers in North Queensland exposed overt and covert racism alongside Australia’s democratic ideals of the time. Drawing from the works of Joan Beaumont and Arjun Appadurai, this discussion repositions an Italian-born British subject as significant not only within the history of Queensland but also, more generally, in the demonstration of a minority community’s resilience over this tumultuous era.

This article explores themes of place, literature and friendship through an engagement with David Malouf’s novel Johhno. Set in Brisbane and Italy, the article takes the form of a creative non-fiction essay, in six sections. The narrator reflects on her wanderings, bent on renunciation of everything except writing, yet hoping for revelation or union. Whereas for Malouf’s characters, Dante and Johnno, Brisbane offers a canvas to hurl themselves against, the narrator of ‘All You See’ takes the city as a point of arrival and departure. She veers towards and away from family, friends and lovers, crossing cities and continents, eventually returning home, yet still at odds with what she knows and what she has lived.

The Introduction to this special issue explains the rationale for its publication. It is intended to further the exploration of both sides of the Queensland–Italy connection, extending the already considerable body of work on Italians in Queensland and contributing to the heretofore less-examined field of Queenslanders’ experiences of Italy. In particular, the influences exerted on Queenslanders by Italian culture and history, and the many ‘views from Queensland’ of Italy and Italians, warrant further attention. The contributions to this issue therefore fall into two categories: those concerned with Italians in Queensland, which relate to migrants and their descendants; and those concerned with movement in the opposite direction, but mainly for purposes other than migration, such as study and work, personal exploration, and acculturation. They include an interview, a memoir, a creative non-fiction piece and two book reviews, alongside five research articles.

Sir Samuel Walker Griffith (1845–1920) is distinguished as the first Australian translator of Italy’s ‘Supreme Poet’, Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). This article considers how Griffith’s entanglement with Dante casts light on the Queensland–Italian connection. First, it sketches the concept of entangled history and entanglement, an evolving transcultural historiographic approach. Second, it canvasses how entangled history can assist in appraising implications of Griffith’s recently contested legacy as Premier of Queensland. Third, it outlines points of convergence between Griffith and Dante, beginning with Griffith’s translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Fourth, it extends this lens on convergence to Griffith’s and Dante’s common dimensions that include Griffith’s Italophilia, and the experience of divisive, factional and fractious politics. Fifth, it narrows to consider the limited justice of contrapasso in Dante’s treatment of crime and punishment. Finally, it traverses codified justice that features in Griffith’s entanglement with Dante and the Italian Penal Code – Griffith translated Dante when drafting Queensland’s ground-breaking Criminal Code and when referencing the Italian Penal Code as a source therein. This article proposes that Griffith’s translational project was not simply a vehicle for sharpening his Italian or pursuing fame or status per se, but was a lifelong creative pursuit that offered imaginative, intellectual applications resonating with his public service values. Whatever impelled Griffith’s translations, his appreciation of Dante clearly instances Queensland–Italian interconnectedness.
塞缪尔-沃克-格里菲斯爵士（Sir Samuel Walker Griffith，1845-1920 年）是意大利 "至尊诗人 "但丁-阿利吉耶里（Dante Alighieri，1265-1321 年）在澳大利亚的首位译者。本文探讨了格里菲斯与但丁的纠葛如何揭示了昆士兰与意大利的联系。首先，文章概述了纠缠历史和纠缠的概念，这是一种不断发展的跨文化史学方法。其次，它探讨了纠缠不清的历史如何有助于评估格里菲斯作为昆士兰州州长最近受到争议的遗产的影响。第三，从格里菲斯翻译但丁的《神曲》开始，概述了格里菲斯与但丁之间的契合点。第四，它将这一交汇点的视角扩展到格里菲斯和但丁的共同层面，包括格里菲斯的意大利情结，以及分裂、派系和纷争政治的经历。第五，它缩小了范围，以考虑但丁在处理犯罪和惩罚时对contrapasso的有限正义。最后，文章探讨了格里菲斯与但丁和《意大利刑法典》之间纠缠不清的成文法正义--格里菲斯在起草昆士兰开创性的《刑法典》时翻译了但丁，并在其中引用《意大利刑法典》作为资料来源。本文认为，格里菲斯的翻译项目并不仅仅是为了提高他的意大利语水平或追求名利或地位，而是他毕生的创造性追求，它提供了富有想象力的知识应用，与他的公共服务价值观产生了共鸣。无论格里菲斯翻译的动力是什么，他对但丁的欣赏显然体现了昆士兰与意大利之间的相互联系。

This article presents some of the main dynamics of the social reproduction of an Italian community through an ethnographic study of the Feast of the Three Saints in Silkwood, North Queensland. It has been celebrated annually there since being imported from the Sicilian village of St Alfio in 1950. As a celebration of Italian sociality and the Italian way of life, the Feast offers a particular opportunity to study the relationship between popular religion, food production and consumption, the senses, memory and materiality. From this perspective, I argue that the Feast as ‘lived religion’ should be understood not only as an expression of Catholic devotion, but also in terms of the construction of a ‘domus’, defined as a social unit and a community based on shared values and practices enacted and continually renewed by the preparation of food and the sensorial aspects of commensality. In the ‘sacred street theatre’ of the Feast, it is by means of these food practices that a community comes into being by sharing knowledge, memories and feelings. [A religious feast in Sicily] is, above all, an existential explosion. (Sciascia 1965: 30)1 This completely irreligious way of understanding and professing a religion … has its roots in a profound materialism, a total rejection of all that entails mystery, invisible revelation, metaphysics.
