ABSTRACT Within the long history of Australian crime fiction, Jane Harper’s The Dry marks a significant moment in the emergence of what has been characterised as “outback” or “rural” noir. With its focus on the small regional community of Kiewarra, Harper’s narrative addresses a number of issues that impact rural communities, including climate change, domestic abuse and gambling. Weaving together a story set in the past and a story set in the present, Harper offers a compelling portrait of the moral and social impact of these issues on rural communities in ways that challenge simplistic assumptions about the limitations of genre fiction to engender empathy. While some have argued that only literary fiction can evoke the kind of empathy that enhances our experiences of the world, this article suggests this is not the case and that The Dry is a powerful and moving portrayal speaking to the effects of environmental catastrophe and domestic abuse within a genre that may appeal to a broad and receptive audience.

ABSTRACT Discussions of Australian art in the run-up to Federation have long focused on the iconic works of Melbourne’s leading impressionist painters. However, it was the wood-engraved pictures of settler-colonial Australia’s illustrated press, especially in Sydney, that dominated its visual culture in the second half of the 19th century. Between 1885 and 1900, the influence of Sydney’s artist-illustrators reached new heights, thanks to the appearance of the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia. This extravagantly illustrated publication was widely hailed as marking “the birth of art beneath the Southern Cross”. The artists of the Atlas succeeded not only in consolidating a settler-colonial iconography of Australia’s history, achievements and prospects but also in disseminating it through their later work for the Sydney Mail, the London Graphic and the Bulletin. Led by Julian Ashton, they transformed Sydney into the epicentre of Australian settler art, drawing Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton into their orbit by the 1890s. Following the illustrated press’s abandonment of wood engraving, these artists continued to influence Australia’s visual culture via other media up to and including the First World War. Revisiting Sydney’s golden age of illustration offers a new window onto the art most Australians saw.

ABSTRACT Recent free speech controversies in Australia have given rise to deep-seated disagreement between protagonists. These protagonists seek to advance rival and conflicting imperatives in such controversies that are centred, respectively, on the defence of “free speech” and the need to limit such speech for the sake of competing ideals. This article seeks to investigate these competing imperatives and their relative priority by focusing on four recent speech controversies in Australia centred upon ANZACs, Anzac Day, same-sex marriage and “eternal damnation”. The article seeks to distinguish the four speech controversies along a number of dimensions, and to determine in which circumstances, and on what grounds, it is possible to prioritise one of these imperatives relative to the other, with the result that conclusions might be reached as to whether free speech, or limits on speech, ought to prevail.

ABSTRACT The photographs that fill the pages of the Australian illustrated magazines The Home and Decoration and Glass offer new insights into the connections between urban development and citizenship in 1930s Sydney. This article focuses on two sites in which urban citizenship was represented and contested in these magazines: symbolic images of white Australian construction workers as builders of the nation, and debates about the lived experience of urban citizenship associated with the rise in flat construction. The multivocal quality of these illustrated magazines provides a means of addressing the complex interconnections between the built environment and cultural conceptions of citizenship. Examining work in and for these illustrated magazines shows that citizenship was neither understood nor lived as a fixed status defined and conferred by the state, but a contested series of values, obligations and modes of social participation.

ABSTRACT This article analyses coverage of the visual arts in the Australian “barbershop” magazine Australasian Post. It traces the function and position of art history and the visual arts in the magazine, exploring how they were communicated to audiences by a publication that self-consciously negotiated a delicate balance between “highbrow” and “lowbrow” content and style. The article focuses on the contributions of the magazine’s most significant art critics, including Alan McCulloch in the mid-1940s and, in most detail, Arnold Shore in the early 1950s. It considers how the visual arts articles changed in style over this period and the multiple ways the magazine addressed its audiences. By analysing other features of the magazine, especially its letters from readers, I make clear that not only were audiences engaged with the arts content, but they also sought to influence its approach. In this way, Australasian Post provides a case study for how the arts have been presented to broad audiences and how art-historical knowledge can be communicated to increase audiences’ understanding and visual literacy. With recent sector research showing that the arts are still perceived as elitist for significant portions of Australian society, understanding accessible communication strategies is more important than ever.

Party days whom Davidson presents in a rather unflattering light, was a favourite. Curtin famously quoted from O’Dowd’s “Dawnward?” in the New Year’s message published in the Melbourne Herald late in 1941, an article that would be inflated into his famous appeal to America. He read Zora Cross and was a friend and correspondent of Mary Gilmore, who wrote verse in praise of Curtin when he was prime minister. It was not all high-minded. While Curtin told the press in 1941 that he had for 20 years maintained a Sunday night ritual of at least an hour of reading poetry, Davidson also records that he read westerns, detective thrillers, romance novels and other light fiction to relax. Davidson writes with verve and only rare and trivial factual slips. He has been meticulous in reconstructing Curtin’s reading—not only what he read, but what he did with it in his private and public life. He has also had to engage in some serious detective work and stylistic analysis in tying pseudonymous literary commentary to Curtin, even while uncertainties of identification remain in some instances. This most interesting and innovative study will be indispensable to anyone serious about understanding Curtin, and the milieux, culture and society that produced him.
