Item 30 Years of Pilgrimage: Australians at the Kodály Institute, Hungary(2010-01-01) King, AletaAs an Australian musician and educator I consider it a privilege to have been given the opportunity to study choral conducting and music pedagogy in Hungary at the International Kodály Institute for two academic years (2002-04). What began simply as reflective diary entries during this time eventually evolved into a Master of Music Studies thesis entitled Australians at the Kodály Institute: Reflections on the Journey held at the ARMUS library, School of Music, University of Queensland. This paper is based on an excerpt of the thesis.
Item 45s Sleeves/Labels(2014-12-01) Collis, AndyThe small works art prize at the Gosford Art Studios stipulates works must be
200mm x 200mm. The size of the canvas suggested to me that of old vinyl 45
rpm. Records. I recollected with nostalgia and detail, the aesthetic and
emotion associated with such discs of my youth. I produced two gouache on
canvas images. One which shows snippets of the cheap paper sleeves in
which 45s were packages – the logos and colours of the labels,; the second
shows snippets of the actual labels themselves. To anyone who lived through
the period (50s,60s in particular) and remembers these things with great
affection, the snippets are clues and triggers, a cue to the true ‘fan’, the tip-of the
iceberg of many fond stories from youth.
The two images trigger these emotions.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 Christian Worldview of the Geographer's World(1990-01-01) Lockton, Harwood A.The purpose of this paper is to provide a Christian perspective on the nature of geography and is primarily intended for fellow geographers at both the secondary and tertiary levels. However as geography is only offered in a few Seventh-day Adventist Colleges, it is hoped that this paper will be accessible to non-specialists especially in the social sciences. From this examination it will be shown that the secular paradigms offer a limited view of geographic reality and that a Christian perspective brings an added and necessary dimension.
Item A Critical Analysis of Duruflé Requiem Op.9(Australian National Choral Association, 2022-03-01) King, AletaMaurice Duruflé's Requiem is one of the most beloved of all requiems. Much scholarly discussion centres on Duruflé's supposed source(s) of inspiration for this work. The debate gravitates around his treatment of existing Gregorian chant melodies with one author even suggesting 'elegant theft'. This critical commentary makes a thorough analysis of this work and examines the role of Gregorian chant as the basis for composition.
Item A Girl and the Beats(2017-01-01) Lounsbury, LynnetteAustralian author Lynnette Lounsbury discusses her love of the Beat authors and the tension that surrounds the interactions between a woman an a generation of writers that were disconnected and disinterested in woman as equals and artists. As a writer she finds her own way to interact as an equal by writing herself into the beat narrative.
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 Method for Investigating Photographic Visualisation Practices(2013-01-01) Bellette, AaronThis paper will explore the possibilities afforded by the utilization of a head mounted GoPro video camera and subsequent screen capture software in the analysis and subsequent understanding of reflective processes in the creation of photographic imagery.
The method is contextualized within an understanding of the work experience; affect and memory play in a photographer's intentionality. It is also framed by Ansel Adam's ideas on pre-visualization and Jerry Uelsmann's work in post-visualization or 're-visualizing'.
It seeks to understand the extent recall of the environment and experiences impact on the pre-reflective stage and the later editing process with pedagogical implications for teaching photography.
Item A Mile in My Shoes(2016-06-01) Morris, Richard; Watson-Trudgett, Maria; Collis, AndyCollaborations amongst artists have a rich International history in the Visual Arts. Collaboration amongst Indigenous, and non-Indigenous artists in Australia is a notion with a much smaller history. Such collaborations have become a special annual focus of the Gosford Regional Art Gallery as a means of showcasing artworks about Reconciliation, as it has impacted Australian culture and politics from the historic 1967 Referendum, and later, in the High Court Mabo decision. This group of three collaborators were successful in having work hung in last year’s Reconciliation, and continue to explore the collaborative exercise again here.
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 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 Time to Hope(Little Axe Publishing, 2023) Watson, BradNew South Wales, 1850. A colony of soldiers, settlers and convicts. A time of conquest and sometimes, of love and redemptionItem A Type of Vertigo(Amazon Publishing, 2022-09-01) Costigan, Bianka; Lounsbury, LynnettePoetry and Short stories from the edge: A work of collaborative storytelling and thematic genre examination by the creative writing students of Avondale University College. The theme was 'A type of Vertigo", an analysis of life post Covid-lockdown.
Item A Typology of Child Sponsorship Activity(2014-01-01) Watson, BradFraming the debate over child sponsorship in terms of legitimacy and changing perceptions of credible international humanitarian interventions, this chapter takes exception to the tendency of child sponsorship critics to assume that sponsorship funded activity is much the same everywhere and similar today when compared to sponsorship practice in the past. Mindful of ongoing critique of child sponsorship, this chapter seeks to position those international non-governmental organisations that utilise child sponsorship to fund interventions, in a landscape of contested ideas. It argues that informed critique of child sponsorship is best achieved through a typology of funded interventions. Four key types of sponsorship funded activity are identified as emerging over time, some of which are currently deemed to be less legitimate in terms of poverty reduction and are best seen as welfare measures aimed at individual children rather than community development or advocacy activities.
Item A Way of Happening(2014-01-01) Rickett, Carolyn; Beveridge, JudithAn anthology of Australian poetry including student writers alongside established Australian poets.
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.
