    Poetic Encounters
    Niaz, N (The Centre for Creative & Cultural Research, University of Canberra, 2019)
    Sound is essential to poetry and poetry is an essential element of human language. As a simultaneous trilingual engaged in the study of multilingual poetic expression, I will use the development of my own plurilingual poetic ‘instinct’ to map the location of poetry within and between languages. I argue that poetry does not grow out of language so much as inhabits the basic aural building blocks of language, the potential for it existing always just beneath the surface of speech. This is tested by examining multilingual poetry as well as translations of poetry across languages to see what is lost and what emerges.

    Is This How Participation Goes?
    Papastergiadis, N ; Wyatt, D (The Department of Visual Arts, University of California, 2019)
    If the neoliberal regime is a constitutive force in a decentered and globalizing world, then what is the starting point for determining its flows, and what is its impact on art and culture? Conversely, have we not also seen art swell and expand through new kinds of transnational collaborations that are giving aesthetic form to cosmopolitan ideals? Are artists at the vanguard of the resistance against the gaping inequalities threatening to rip apart the social fabric or are they, despite their democratising intentions, an extension of an invidious system? These contradictory forces are played out on many fronts and with divergent inflections. In this brief essay we sketch out the hydraulic tensions between the corporate global culture and mass cultural participation by focusing on recent events in Melbourne. As a second-tier global city, celebrated for its livability and cultural vitality, the development of Melbourne’s cultural scene over the last fifteen years exemplifies the various spatial formations around which aesthetic experience is being organized and redistributed.

    Dead Europe and the Coming of Age in Australian Literature: Globalisation, Cosmopolitanism and Perversity
    Ng, L (Australian National University, 2013)
    This essay uses Christos Tsiolkas’ 2005 novel, Dead Europe, to re-examine the traditional binary established between old Europe and new Australia. The definition of cosmopolitanism put forward by Tsiolkas takes into account charges of Eurocentricity laid against the concept itself, as well as reflecting on the ways in which cosmopolitanism changes given the accelerated processes of twenty-first century globalisation. In Dead Europe, Tsiolkas links Australia to a pan-European history, bringing national borders into question and broadening notions of Australian identity. I argue that Tsiolkas’ novel is a key example of a recent coming of age in Australian literature - the shift away from Australian national identity as inward-facing, naïve and rural-based, towards a more mature, urban, outward-facing understanding of Australians as culpable participants in global culture.

    Chandler, J (Digital Global Mail, 2013-06-12)
    The greatest infectious killer in human history is making a comeback, morphing into new drug-resistant forms. While it is largely forgotten in wealthy nations, millions of people a year get sick from tuberculosis. Jo Chandler, to her surprise, is one of them.

    Rodrigo Arteaga: El artista que vincula ciencia, ecología y astronomía.
    Escobar Duenas, C ; Barcelo, J (El Desconcierto, 2016)
    “El sentido de la ecología parte de la pregunta si acaso existe un real límite entre lo natural y la cultura, y cuáles son esos límites que nos llevan a malas prácticas como sociedad, creando una distancia entre nosotros y la naturaleza" – Rodrigo Arteaga

    Hitchcock’s Simulacra: Crystallizing the mental operations of Rear Window and Vertigo
    Escobar Duenas, C ; Grabbe, LC ; Rupert-Kruse, P ; Schmitz, NM (Buchner, 2017)
    By referring to Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of the cinema, and most notably to his commentaries on Hitchcock’s conception of the moving image, this article poses a film analysis that is no longer based on representational accounts. Drawing upon two of Hitchcock's films, Rear Window and Vertigo, I seek to demonstrate how the philosophical ideas set by Deleuze help to overcome the apparatus of film theory by triggering the simulacrum of a new mental image. In the case of Rear Window, by making the spectator aware of the act of perceiving images, I argue that the director introduces a mental operation that opens an interaction between characters and viewers that is both actual in space and virtual in time. This approach compares Hitchcock’s film with Deleuze’s theory of the simulacrum; a place of pure production without any referential point of departure. In a second moment, with Vertigo, the spectator’s virtual activity is analysed in terms of the ambiguous status of time and memory portrayed on screen. Focusing on Vertigo’s image temporality, and by employing Deleuze’s definition of the crystal image, I claim that the vision of which Scottie and the triad Madeleine, Carlotta and Judy are so badly prey mirrors the loop in temporality which marks the instability of the subject itself.
