ABSTRACT Men’s magazines have formed a significant part of Australian illustrated magazine publishing since 1936. In this article, I broadly survey the field up until 1971, concentrating particularly on bikini and nude photography, which defined the category. I then focus on the period of the 1960s, when men’s magazines were most relevant to Australia’s rapidly changing sexual politics and its censorship debates. I reveal that, although they were by their nature visually repetitious, far from being a marginal or trivial category, they were deeply implicated in the development of broader Australian visual culture and its sexual politics, and fundamental to wider innovations in publishing, as well as the careers of several important Australian photographers.

ABSTRACT This article presents research from an ongoing collaborative project between two women—an Aboriginal woman and senior Wayilwan cultural knowledge holder, and an academic of European descent—that aims to closely and critically re-read Australian colonial and later historical sources for Wayilwan women’s knowledge of Country and community. In this article, we specifically focus on the journals of colonial explorers John Oxley, Charles Sturt and Thomas Mitchell, who travelled through Wayilwan Country in the early to mid-19th century. We begin by outlining our collaborative methodology, contextualising Wayilwan Country and introducing these journals. We then examine the journals in terms of four interlinked Wayilwan women’s knowledges: river knowledge, fire knowledge, grain and yam knowledge, and care of children and the elderly. In undertaking this research, we aim to contribute to decolonising methods and methodologies, address harmful disengagements with Aboriginal women’s practices, and respectfully carry forward Wayilwan women’s knowledge.

ABSTRACT Despite its reputation as a frivolous and licentious magazine, Pix (1938–1972) published a large number of documentary photo essays on work and the daily strife of the Australian labourer. More importantly, the popular magazine promoted a stern work ethic, presented as a sign of patriotism and moral virtue. Pix’s politics are hard to pin down insofar as the magazine never endorsed specific parties or social movements; instead, it adopted an apparently neutral stance in relation to political issues, giving equal coverage to the three mainstream parties of the time. If the national narrative of work that Pix glorified was, fundamentally, a bipartisan narrative, was Pix really apolitical and value-free? I say no: the locus of Pix’s politics has to be found in the way the magazine mobilised the discourse of the work ethic. By reducing work to a moral obligation, Pix tended to individualise and normalise waged work, concealing the unequal and coercive relations informing the social space of the factory. In so doing, the magazine conveyed and championed values such as independence and entrepreneurship that were central to the liberal ideology that found expression in Robert Menzies’s contemporary speeches.

As the Internet does today, the illustrated magazine significantly defined Australian readers’ knowledge of the nation and the world for much of the 20th century. Magazines graced domestic spaces and dentists’ surgeries; magazine stands filled busy city street corners and transport hubs; and publishers, government departments, and tourism bureaus sent magazines overseas to attract migrants, business investments and tourists. Up to 800,000 Australians read theAustralianWomen’s Weekly by 1961, with many other titles regularly achieving large circulation figures in a commercial market that in 1963 included 900 journals and magazines. The Weekly continues to provide new avenues for scholarly research, from education to art history to Cold War politics, as well as food and fashion histories. Our themed section for the Journal of Australian Studies forms part of a research project designed to diversify magazine studies in Australia, to broaden the sources and understanding of their significance in Australian cultural history, and to connect scholarship across disciplines and link it to new international developments. The best and brightest minds contributed to modern magazines (alongside newspapers and radio, and often across media platforms). Writers and travellers such as George Farwell, Ernestine Hill and Ion Idriess earnt a living that underwrote other creative projects, while anthropologists including Donald Thomson and Ursula McConnell used magazines to communicate their work with Indigenous communities to the public. First Nations communities themselves used newsletters to build connections, and magazine titles such as Identity emerged in the 1970s to forge a new Indigenous public sphere.

ABSTRACT In Central Australia throughout the early 20th century, many Aboriginal women gave birth to babies who had been fathered by white men. Between 1914 and 1929, these children were removed from their families and taken to live in the burgeoning town of Alice Springs, in a collection of tin sheds referred to as “the Bungalow”. Such removal of children from their families was in line with assimilation policies being enacted across the colonised world. During my research into the Bungalow, I came across a file in the National Archives entitled “Sarah Breaden (Half Caste) Education”. Sarah was born of an Aboriginal mother and white father, on a cattle station in Central Australia, in 1907. In some ways, her story, which I went on to explore, reflects that of so many children of dual Indigenous/white heritage born in that time and place. But in other ways, Sarah's circumstances and experiences differ markedly. A key aim of my project has been to research and write a creative history of the first Bungalow in Alice Springs 1914–1929, and the context in which it was situated. This article is adapted from a chapter of that literary work.

ABSTRACT This article presents and discusses an experiment with Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu as an inaugural case study of how we might apply the International Integrated Reporting () Framework to an Australian book title. It represents a novel approach to the question of how to be attentive to the problem of value in Australian culture, building on recent research by Meyrick, Phiddian and Barnett and complementing contemporary work on Australian book industry economics by Zwar, Throsby and others at Macquarie University. The results of this experiment indicate that integrated reporting, and in particular the framework—an established, rigorous and internationally recognised form of reporting—can be effectively applied to a single local book title, drawing exclusively on publicly available data in a manner that effectively and efficiently articulates types of value that exceed the economic. While the framework has its limitations, my overarching conclusion is that this form of value reporting has strong potential to contribute to timely and effective local book industry advocacy into the future.

ABSTRACT During R. G. Campbell’s 30-year tenure as editor of the Australian Journal (1926–1955), he drew on the work of many freelance writers and artists. This article identifies some of the major contributors of cover art and illustrations published during Campbell’s editorship of the Australian Journal to provide an expanded view of the cultural networks that converged in the pages of the magazine. Drawing on Campbell’s advice published in The Australian Writers and Artists' Market, along with his reflections in unpublished autobiographical notes, the article reveals the magazine’s intersections with the commercial and fine art world, particularly the networks of commercial artists who honed their skills in Melbourne’s art schools and artists’ studios during the early to middle decades of the 20th century. Combined with previous research on writers of the popular short story, this article demonstrates the significant position that R. G. Campbell and his Australian Journal claimed in mid-20th-century Australian print culture, and it encourages further research into the large network of freelance writers and artists that radiated from the magazine’s Swanston Street offices.
在r.g.坎贝尔担任《澳大利亚日报》编辑的30年间(1926-1955)，他借鉴了许多自由作家和艺术家的作品。本文确定了坎贝尔在《澳大利亚日报》担任编辑期间发表的封面艺术和插图的一些主要贡献者，以提供一个扩展的文化网络视图，这些网络汇集在杂志的页面上。根据坎贝尔发表在《澳大利亚作家和艺术家市场》(The Australian Writers and Artists’Market)上的建议，以及他在未发表的自传笔记中的反思，这篇文章揭示了该杂志与商业和美术世界的交集，特别是20世纪初至中期在墨尔本艺术学校和艺术家工作室磨练技能的商业艺术家网络。结合之前对流行短篇小说作家的研究，本文证明了r.g.坎贝尔和他的《澳大利亚日报》在20世纪中叶澳大利亚印刷文化中的重要地位，并鼓励进一步研究从该杂志的斯旺斯顿街办事处辐射出来的自由作家和艺术家的庞大网络。
