Item A Broader Palate? The new and Exotic Food Experiences of the Australian Imperial Force 1914–1918(2021-05-01) Reynaud, Emanuela; Reynaud, DanielThis article explores the new food experiences of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the First World War, drawing evidence from scholarly works, archives and soldier accounts. Having come from a predominantly British food culture in Australia, the AIF encountered new tastes and eating habits in the Middle East and Europe, which they experienced in dual roles as soldiers and tourists. Some soldiers responded warmly while others reacted defensively to these new foodways such as self-catering, exotic ingredients and dishes, regular dining out and new food customs. The lack of long-term impact of these novel experiences on Australian foodways is also noted.
Item A Christian Aesthetic for the Arts(2013-01-01) Reynaud, DanielItem A Christian Aesthetic for the Arts(2013-01-01) Reynaud, DanielThe arts and modern Christianity, especially in its Evangelical Protestant forms, have often had an uneasy relationship. This chapter addresses a Christian aesthetic for the arts, proposing a biblical philosophical approach that helps give the arts their proper place in the Christian sphere.
Item 'A Kind of Useless man'? An Evaluation of AIF Cooks and Cookery, 1914-1918(2022-04-28) Reynaud, Emanuela; Reynaud, DanielWhile the Australian Imperial Force of 1914–1918 experienced a significant shift from amateurism to professionalism over the course of the war in most areas, one crucial role not yet examined in the literature on the Australian Imperial Force is that of army cooks. This article argues that their role was not taken sufficiently seriously during the Great War, leaving them effectively still amateurs at the end of the war. It explores the regulations for army cooks, the processes of selection, training and monitoring, as well as their performance in camps and in the field, and draws the conclusion that the army failed to professionalize the role.
Item A Pocket Biography of Each Contributing Soldier(2018-01-01) Forbes, Marcia; Reynaud, DanielThis chapter gives a brief outline of each soldier whose diaries and letters were referenced in the book, excluding those whose letters were accessed via contemporary newspapers.
Item A Professional Learning Program for Novice Online Teachers Using Threshold Concepts(2019-12-01) McLoughlin, Catherine E.; Reynaud, Daniel; Kilgour, Peter W.; Gosselin, Kevin P.; Northcote, Maria T.The professional development of online teachers is now commonplace in higher education. Alongside the relatively straightforward decision to provide professional learning support for novice and experienced online educators within universities, decisions about the nature and content of such support are not always as clear cut. The study aimed to gather evidence about the online teaching and learning experiences and views of current students and staff which, in turn, informed a set of pedagogical guidelines that could be used as the basis of professional learning programs for novice online teachers. Using a mixed methods research design, data were gathered using questionnaires, reflective journals, and focus groups to determine the threshold concepts about online teaching and perceptions of ideal online learning environments. As well as identifying threshold concepts about online teaching and perceptions of teachers’ and students’ ideal views of online learning contexts (reported elsewhere), the study produced curricular guidelines to inform the design of professional development outputs for online teachers in higher education. This article reports on an example of how these professional development guidelines, based on identified threshold concepts of online pedagogy, were implemented at one higher education institution to provide wide-scale implementation of a professional development program for academic staff engaged in online teaching.
Item A Salvation Army Commencement Narrative: An Investigation of Literature Focused on the Army in Queensland(2019-08-01) Jackson, Wendy; Reynaud, Daniel; Hentzschel, GarthMuch of the existing literature surrounding the broader Salvation Army Australian commencement narrative is Adelaide centric. While the Army adheres to June 1885 as the ‘official’ date for its beginning in Queensland, there are hints of earlier work; authors even stated that some earlier attempts were official. This paper will investigate the existing literature focused on The Salvation Army Queensland commencement narrative. The paper will begin by discussing the current wider narrative and then give a chronological discussion of the available literature focused on Queensland.
Entwined with the latter discussion, will be an investigation of the possible sources used. This investigation found that the existing narrative is not always clear, holds conflicting accounts, and is full of assumptions that are unsupported by sources. To conclude, the paper will discuss the weaknesses and gaps of the current Queensland commencement narrative. The literature was collected across three Salvation Army heritage centres1 for the confirmation process of the Doctor of Philosophy program within Avondale College, New South Wales, Australia.
Item A Second Front: Canon Garland, Chaplain Maitland Woods and Anglo-Catholicism in the Australian Imperial Force During the First World War(2021-01-01) Reynaud, DanielThis article explores the work and influence of Anglo-Catholicism in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the Great War, based on reading the wartime correspondence of key AIF Anglo-Catholics, especially that of Canon David Garland and Chaplain William Maitland Woods. Anglo-Catholics were enthusiastic in support of the war, but simultaneously used it to promote Anglo-Catholicism, and combat what they perceived to be the errors of non Anglo-Catholic Anglicanism and the various Protestant groups, opening what might be considered a second front against these religions.
Item A Wider Angle: Australia's War Films of the New Millennium(2021-04-01) Reynaud, DanielAbstract
Australian war films have rarely been studied as a genre, though there is an implicit study of the Anzac war movie subgenre, which until the 21st Century has represented the bulk of Australian war film-making. This chapter first offers an overview of Australian war film genres from 1914-2000 and a summary of attempts at war film genre definitions, largely drawn from American studies. It then explores the ways in which post-2000 Australian war films fit, expand, modify and rupture existing war genre descriptions, creating a space which Australian war film productions can inhabit and can intermix both with other Australian genres and with international war film genres. Australian war cinema is part of a wider intertextual representation, and many of these characteristics and trends are shared with Australian television productions on war themes. The subgenre of Anzac movies continues, but with a shift from the relatively simplistic themes of the 1980s to more nuanced representations of Anzac encompassing more than just the First World War. An expanded palette of themes, settings, tropes, iconography and industrial conditions also emerges from other war films. Recent war films frequently cross genre boundaries, are more likely to participate in international collaborations and offer representations of war beyond the purely Australian.
Item Alfred Rolfe: Forgotten Pioneer Australian Film Director(2016-06-07) Reynaud, Daniel; Vagg, StephenAlfred Rolfe was arguably the most prolific silent era Australian director, responsible for more than 25 feature films encompassing the bushranger genres, early Australian war cinema, and various melodramas. Many of his films were both critical and commercial successes. The only surviving footage are scenes from two of his 1915 war films. This important director has been overshadowed by his contemporaries, particularly Raymond Longford. This paper argues that Rolfe’s contribution to early Australian cinema was significant not just in volume, but in artistic terms, in subject matter, and in popular appeal. The centenary of Anzac is also the centenary of Australia’s first Gallipoli movie, Rolfe’s The Hero of the Dardanelles (1915), which was one of the most successful films at the box office for its time.
Item “All was not well with the Soldiers’ Diet”: An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Official Australian Imperial Force Food Provisions, 1914–18(2021-09-10) Reynaud, DanielOfficial army rations were calculated to maintain the soldiers of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) of 1914-1918 in good fighting trim. This article systematically investigates for the first time this provisioning, evaluating its effectiveness in sustaining the soldiers as fighting men. Three key unresolved areas of research are explored: the debate over whether army provisioning was more diverse and balanced than popular impressions, the degree to which conclusions drawn about provisioning at Gallipoli can be applied across all the campaigns of the AIF, and comparisons with British army provisioning. It concludes that AIF rations were physiologically and emotionally inadequate throughout the war.
Item An Ideological Reading of Uncle Arthur’s Bedtime Stories Using Critical Literacy(Avondale Academic Press, 2010-01-01) Reynaud, Daniel; Nicholls, RhysUncle Arthur’s bedtime stories stands as the principal and archetypal Seventh-day Adventist children’s literature text. It is heavily inscribed with distinct ideologies, which are specifically referential to Seventh-day Adventist dogma and faith. As children read these texts, they are exposed to, and affected by, these ideologies. This thesis seeks to expose the overt and covert ideologies of the text so that their power can be recognised and their value evaluated. This is accomplished through a brief investigation of the author and the publishing institution that conceived the texts, then through an explanation of the development and aims of critical literacy reading processes. These reading processes are then applied to the text in order to render explicit the belief structures constructed into the text which sustain the stories’ proposed ‘truths’ and ‘meanings’.
This investigation has revealed that Uncle Arthur’s bedtime stories assumes levels of authority over truth, interpretation and the reader, which it does not intrinsically command. This assumption of authority allows the text to propose and defend one-sided ‘truths’, spurious arguments and potentially unethical behaviour.Item ANZAC Chaplains (Brothers in Arms)(Hope Channel, 2010-04-12) Portbury, Kyle; Livingston, Daniel; Hamilton, Mal; Reynaud, DanielThis is the story of truly courageous men who never carried a gun or fired a shot in anger. Through their selfless deeds and heroic ministering as they stood shoulder to shoulder beside the Anzac fighting men through the endless horror and misery of the battlefield, the Anzac Chaplains gained the respect and admiration of the soldiers - not by taking life, but by saving it.
Item Anzac Spirituality: The First AIF Soldiers Speak(2018-01-01) Reynaud, DanielWe have made Anzac into the spiritual core of what it means to be Australian without ever examining the spiritual core of the Anzacs themselves. This study explores the Anzacs’ spiritual beliefs and experiences largely through their own words, taken from the diaries and letters of over 1,000 soldiers of the First AIF. Far from being indifferent to spiritual matters, their writings reveal an interest in matters of the soul more widespread than previously imagined, with significant numbers demonstrating a deep engagement with God, religion and the human spirit. In the pages of this book, we can hear the voices of the original Anzacs speaking directly to us on institutional religion, personal beliefs and spiritual practices, and morality and ethics that go to the core of our humanity as spiritual beings.
Publication Anzac's Long Shadow: The Cost of Our National Obsession(Avondale Academic Press, 2014-01-01) Reynaud, DanielPublication Anzacs were Secular but . . . Soldiers Steeped in Biblically-informed Worldview had Passive Belief in “diffusive Christianity”(Avondale Academic Press, 2020-07-01) Reynaud, DanielIt’s always tempting to see the past in terms of the present, to deny the past its difference. In Australia, perhaps that temptation has been hardest to resist when it comes to Anzac history. In popular imagination and representation, the Anzacs are routinely invested with the attitudes and beliefs of late 20th century and early 21st century Australia. We explain the motivations of people 100 years ago according to today’s values and norms.
Item 'At the Edge of Time': War Letters from an Australian Private Soldier, 1915-1916(2018-06-01) Reynaud, DanielThis article reviews the book At the Edge of Time, the edited war letters of William Salter, along with reflections on his life and the impact of his work as a Baptist minister.
Item Australia and the Bible(2019-03-01) Reynaud, DanielThis article is a review of Meredith Lake’s book The Bible in Australia: A cultural history.
Item Australian Chaplains at Gallipoli: Role, Impact and Influence(2017-01-01) Miler, Larisa; Reynaud, DanielThis study of the role, impact and influence of Australian chaplains during the Gallipoli campaign identifies the formal and informal roles played by chaplains, and how their work was perceived and received by the men they served. It challenges a popular view, sometimes articulated in publications, that the Australian soldier was indifferent to spiritual things and to the work of the chaplains. Instead it shows how chaplains played a vital role in providing a host of support services which could greatly impact soldier morale and emotional well-being. The myth that Australian soldiers were not particularly religious is nuanced by a demonstration that many soldiers took their faith seriously, and the ministrations of the chaplains benefited the troops. It also demonstrates that the calibre of the individual chaplain was key to ensuring the success or otherwise of their role in maintaining the spiritual mission and morale of the troops, and shows in what specific ways chaplains could most impact the soldiers under their care.
Item Australian Cinema and the War Effort 1914-1918(1998-01-01) Reynaud, DanielWith every element of Australian society co-opted for the war effort, it is no surprise that cinema was also used to enhance the government’s war aims. This study looks at the Australian film industry, specifically at its production of war dramas and documentaries, and its distributions and screening, exploring the interaction of official needs and pressures and the responses of the domestic film industry.
