Impact on Inclusive Development of Information and Communication Technologies in Turkey
Authors: Diler Huriye Gonca
Published: May 2021

In this study, the impact on inclusive development of information and communication technologies in Turkey’s economy is analyzed. Information and communication technologies are represented by mobile phone penetration measured by mobile cellular subscriptions, and inclusive development is measured by the human development index (IHDI) adapted to inequality. The annual data used in this study covers the period 1990-2019. After examining the stationarity of the series of variables, the cointegration between variables was investigated using the ARDL approach. As a result of the ARDL test, a cointegration between inclusive development and information and communication technologies has been determined. Toda-Yamamoto causality test was conducted to find the direction of the relationship between variables. The findings obtained from the analysis of causality determined that it has an impact on inclusive development of information and communication technologies in Turkey.
Behavioural evolution of consumers of banking services in the COVID-19 pandemic situation
Authors: Mistrean Larisa
Published: May 2021

Managing customer relations is one of the main contemporary challenges facing banks, especially in terms of new social changes and major changes in human behaviour, generated by the COVID-19 crisis. The currently drifting economic climate affects all of the existing and potential customers and consumer behaviour, being much more demanding on the products and services purchased, their particularities, the conditions proposed by banks, prices and the bank-customer relationship.
The new segmentation generated by the pandemic puts additional pressure on banks, which have a difficult task: to better understand these new behaviours and to meet consumer requirements with relevant products and convenient services. Whatever the options, banks must be receptive to the current needs of consumers of financial products and services and to the behaviour they must adopt in order to remain relevant on the market.
The general objective of this study is to provide a practical perspective on the impact of the pandemic crisis on consumer behaviour of banking products and services.
Cómo hacer la historia de la homosexualidad masculina
Authors: Halperin David M.
Published: May 2021

La historia de la sexualidad constituye ahora una disciplina académica tan respetable o, al menos, tan bien establecida, que quienes la practican ya no sienten más la presión de tener que defender la empresa, o rescatarla de las sospechas de ser una palpable absurdidad. La propia frase “historia de la sexualidad” sonaba como una contradicción en sus términos: ¿cómo, después de todo, podría tener la sexualidad una historia? Hoy en día, por el contrario, estamos tan acostumbrados a la noción de que la sexualidad tiene ciertamente una historia que, a menudo, no nos preguntamos qué tipo de historia es la que tiene la sexualidad. Cuando tales cuestiones se presentan, se las trata super­fi­cialmente en el curso del carraspeo metodológico que los historiadores ritualmente performan en los párrafos iniciales de sus artículos académicos. Recientemente este ejercicio ha tendido a incluir referencias más o menos obligatorias a los problemas alguna vez causados a los historiadores, hace mucho mucho tiempo, en un país muy muy lejano, por teóricos que argumentaron que la sexualidad estaba socialmente construida, una idea interesante en su momento y lugar, pero que fue llevada a extremos delirantes y que ya no goza de demasiado crédito. Con el potencial disruptivo de estas cuestiones metahistóricas cuidadosamente relegadas al pasado, el historiador de la sexualidad puede regresar al trabajo que tiene entre manos.

Niezwykłą historię hrabiny Diny Almy de Paradedy, która ostatnie tygodnie życia spędziła w Breslau, jak nazywano wówczas leżący w obrębie Cesarstwa Niemieckiego Wrocław, świat niemieckojęzyczny poznał za sprawą Jensa Doblera, który w 2010 r. ponownie wydał i opatrzył posłowiem napisaną ponad 100 lat wcześniej powieść Waltera Homanna pt. „Tagebuch einer männlichen Braut” („Pa­mięt­nik męskiej narzeczonej”), inspirowaną losami de Paradedy. W tym to posłowiu można odnaleźć zestawienie nielicznych pewnych faktów, przeplatanych z niewyjaśnionymi tajemnicami i domysłami dotyczącymi życia samozwańczej komtesy. Nie wiadomo, czy urodzona jako Alfred (bądź Alfredo) H. (a może P.?) Dina faktycznie miała szlacheckie pochodzenie; kim był jej biologiczny ojciec i czy na­prawdę był hiszpańskim konsulem w Rio de Janeiro; jaka relacja łączyła ją z jej ojczymem, nie­mieckim lekarzem, który poślubił pewną owdowiałą Brazylijkę; czy ukochany Diny znał jej sekret, a zaręczyny zerwał tylko ze względu na reakcję i naciski ze strony jego rodziny; i wreszcie, kto i dlaczego złożył donos na hrabinę. Pewnym jest natomiast, że tragiczna historia jednej z pierwszych znanych z imienia i nazwiska osób trans* w Europie Środkowej poruszyła opinię publiczną nie tylko w Niemczech, ale i m.in. w Stanach Zjednoczonych czy Nowej Zelandii. Oprócz licznych artykułów pra­sowych, nierzadko podających sprzeczne informacje i przez to utrudniających dokładną rekonstrukcję tamtych wyda­rzeń, w druku pojawiły się też co najmniej dwie powieści inspirowane losami „męskiej narzeczonej” z Wrocławia, w tym właśnie utwór Homanna, i to już w parę miesięcy po skandalu wy­wołanym jej samobójczą śmiercią, co niewątpliwie świadczy o medialnej nośności i popularności tej historii. Ja sam natknąłem się na nią w trakcie badań do pracy doktorskiej na temat życia osób nie heteronor­matywnych na przełomie XIX i XX wieku oraz w okresie międzywojennym na byłych terenach nie­mieć­kich, obecnie należących do Polski.
Homografesis
Authors: Edelman Lee
Published: May 2021

En la primavera de 1987, cuando fui invitado a participar en la conferencia que inauguraba el Centro para Estudios Lesbianos y Gais de Yale, los organizadores me pidieron que me uniera a otros académicos gais en un panel cuyo título planteaba insistentemente para nosotros la cuestión de la identidad: “¿Qué es Gay en la Literatura Gay? ¿Qué es Lesbiana en la Literatura Lesbiana?”. Aunque la rúbrica para nuestra sesión fue sustancialmente diferente en el momento en que el programa de la conferencia apareció, el tono de su título se mantuvo explícito –y casi agresivamente– interro­ga­tivo; ahora, sin embargo, la cuestión que ponía de relieve era más incisiva y escéptica: “¿Puede haber una crítica gay?” Todas estas cuestiones presuponen que nuestro interés y energía como críticos gais es, o por lo menos debería ser, focalizarnos en determinar la especificidad de una metodología crítica gay y lesbiana. Parecían exigir a aquellos que trabajamos desde perspectivas lesbianas, gais, bisexu­ales, queer, no heterosexuales o antihomofóbicas, no solo confrontar las inscrip­ciones de la sexualidad dentro de los textos acerca de los cuales escribimos sino también hacer legible dentro de nuestra propia crítica algunas empresas teóricas distintivamente gais. Las pregun­tas, en breve, demandaban de nosotros una voluntad de afirmar y reafirmar una singular, reconocible y en consecuencia repro­ducible identidad crítica: mercantilizar la crítica gay y lesbiana presentándola como una tendencia distintiva de la teoría literaria que podría encontrar su apropiada cuota de mercado en la economía ascendente de la producción literaria. En el proceso, esas preguntas nos condujeron a localizar la “diferencia homosexual” como una entidad determinada más que como una inestable relación dife­rencial, y nos invitaron a proveer a nuestros auditores con algunas direc­trices por medio de las cuales definir el “homosexual” o la “homosexualidad” en sí mismos. ¿Cómo, parecían preguntarnos, puede la crítica literaria ver o reconocer al “homosexual” a fin de llevar la “homosexualidad” a una dimensión teórica? ¿Cómo, dicho de otro modo, puede la “homosexualidad” encontrar su lugar en el discurso de la crítica contemporánea de modo que ya no esté no-marcada, o invisible, o perceptible solo cuando se engalana con los disfraces más osten­siblemente temáticos o referenciales?
Wstęp: Co może być odmieńcze i czym może stać się odmieńczość?
Authors:   InterAlia Editorial Board
Published: May 2021

Tematycznie zróżnicowany 15. numer czasopisma InterAlia przyczynia się do poszerzenia znaczenia słowa „odmieńcze” na różne, nieoczekiwane sposoby. Z jednej strony zawiera on hiszpańskie tłuma­czenia przełomowych dla studiów queer esejów Lee Edelmana i Davida M. Halperina, z drugiej zaś nakłania nas również do zastanowienia się nad odmieńczością figury palacza, muzyki granej na kra­jalnicy do jajek, osoby dorosłej, która odmawia wyrzeczenia się dzieciństwa, gadającej sosny, która opowiada melodramatyczną baśń z czasów Republiki Weimarskiej, czy urodzonej w Montanie pisarki, która nauczyła się mówić językiem swego męża imigranta na tyle dobrze, by stać się poetką szano­waną w Ukrainie, a następnie „wyszła z szafy” jako lesbijka i opublikowała pierwszy amerykański best-seller o gejach. Ponadto, niniejszy numer wyraża zaniepokojenie kondycją i przyszłością studiów queer w różnych miejscach na świecie, a także zjawiskiem utowarowienia odmieńczych tożsamości za sprawą wprowadzania do globalnej gospodarki informacyjnej preferowanych zaimków płciowych i innych informacji osobistych. Wreszcie numer ten drąży odwieczny problem pozornego braku pod­staw dla wspólnoty osób identyfikujących się jako odmieńcy, którzy nie mają ze sobą nic wspól­nego poza swym jednostkowym pożądaniem. Czym może być odmieńczość – pytają autorzy tekstów, które tu publikujemy – i co może być odmieńcze w sensie politycznym, filozoficznym i estetycznym?
Sosna z sześcioma rękami
Authors: Piskorska Liliana
Published: May 2021

Na szerokim pasie nizin przetkanych błękitną nicią rzek, stało miasto całe złote. A w tym mieście było wzgórze całe z gruzów usypane, a na wzgórzu rosła sosna, a na sośnie sześć było rąk.

A to wzgórze niezmierne, że wierzchu za chmurami nie widać, dźwiga się stromo ku niebu, a na nim ze wszystkich stron las czarny. Ogromne dęby, sosny, buki, jodły – jedne na drugich wyrastają. Sterczy drzewo ponad drzewem, coraz wyżej, coraz wyżej. Pomiędzy nimi, na ziemi, gąszcz cierni, głogów i ziół jadowitych, rumowiska skał ogromnych, zielone całe od wilgotnych mchów, a wśród nich ona – sosna. Stoi i gałęzi ma sześć, niczym sześć rąk zielonych, a jedna z nich dziwna, magiczna.

Las ten niczym się nie różni od tysiąca innych, na innych wzgórzach świata, spotykanych lasów. A i sosna taka sama się wydaje, nie różna od tysiąca innych sosen.

Z czubku czubeczku wzgórza widać cały widnokrąg krainy – góry, pola, lasy, wody. Wioski, huty wielkie, domy, fabryki, miasteczka. Takie mnóstwo, że nie zliczyć. A leżą jakby obraz malowany, a tak cudny, że zda się patrzeć na niego sto lat, i nie napatrzyłby się nikt dosyć jeszcze.

Names and Naming Practices of the Telugu in Malaysia
Authors: Shanmuganathan Thilagavathi , Sinayah Malarvizhi , Ramalingam Selvajothi , Perumal Thanalachime
Published: May 2021

Names and naming practices reflect the socio-cultural background of a community. The giving of names is therefore not merely an act of labelling but represents constructs of identity that reflect the collective self-representation of a community and its worldviews. This study examines the naming practices of the Telugu in Malaysia and investigates the morphological structure and the semantic properties of Telugu names. To accomplish those research goals, survey interviews were conducted with 288 respondents in four different Malaysian states. Using descriptive statistics, a narrative analysis of the survey responses was used. Six experts in the Telugu culture were then invited for a focus group discussion. Before the results of this analysis are presented, detailed information about the Telugu and their naming traditions are provided. As will be shown here, among the Telugu, name-giving is a sacred act that is performed during a traditional naming ceremony called the Barasala. During this ancient oral onomastic tradition, names are passed on from one generation to the next and ancestral blessings are bestowed. As this study reveals, the structure of the patronymic names given during this ceremony reflect the religious beliefs and cultural identity of the Telugu.
The PhD by prior publications in the Creative Arts at Deakin University: Advancing industry engagement and social justice outcomes in the doctoral degree (research)
Authors: West Patrick
Published: May 2021

In late 2016 Deakin University’s School of Communication and Creative Arts (SCCA) added the PhD by Prior Publications in the Creative Arts (Portfolio Creative Product plus Exegesis) to Deakin’s existing complement of PhD by Publication offerings. Candidates from several Creative Arts disciplines, pre-eminently Creative Writing, have enrolled in the PhDPriorPubs. Commencements have included nationally and internationally based artists, including some current Deakin staff members. This article contextualizes the PhDPriorPubs’ origins, describes its inner workings, and provides data on candidate enrolments, graduations and thesis outcomes as of November 2019. It also elaborates on the planning and thinking stages behind the degree’s development, its relationship to the cognate Practice-Led Research methodology, and future prospects and threats. The present-day relevance of PhDs by prior publication is sometimes disputed. This article argues for the ongoing value of degrees like the PhDPriorPubs in pollinating ‘PhD of the Future’ debates and in advancing industry engagement and social justice outcomes in the doctoral degree (research).
Avoiding it: Writing fiction about place without writing about it
Authors: Davis Rhett
Published: May 2021

Writing about place is not always writing what is ‘real’. Writers often avoid specific, named and recognisable places in fiction – using literary devices and forms to write around them – and yet still manage to evoke a sense of place. In an exegetical reflection on my PhD novel, Hovering, this article explores my own journey in writing about my home town of Geelong by avoiding it. It discusses writing around place by employing an absurdist approach and explores how physical space intersects with virtual space in ways that invite formal modification and polyphony. The methodology I adopt is autoethnographic and mirrors my creative approach, but I also intersperse case studies of writers who have been central to my creative thesis, and who have represented place through defamiliarising strategies such as absurdism and disguise, multiplicity of individual perspectives and the voice of the crowd. Ultimately this article reflects on how we might write fiction about our places – our homes, towns, cities, streets; places that deserve to be seen; places that are tangible or virtual or a strange mixture of both – when we want to avoid reducing them.
When your practice is the research: A symposia-led model for the creative writing PhD
Authors: Aung Thin Michelle , Carlin David , Pang Alvin , Rendle-Short Francesca , Wilkinson Jessica
Published: May 2021

With PhDs in creative writing becoming more valued and valuable in both local and international contexts, the question of models that are fit for purpose has never been more pressing. This paper discusses a case study of an approach to PhD pedagogy underway with writers from across the Asia-Pacific. It is a model of advanced practice-led research in creative writing, which helps established and mid-career writers to deepen their oeuvres and careers. The model poses the question: What if a PhD in creative writing focused its site of research on a practitioner’s ongoing practice as a writer? How might this deepen the practitioner’s engagement with the processes of and contexts for writing, and enable shifts in and for their future writing practice? This paper invites educators and writers to reconsider how a PhD by practice in creative writing contributes new knowledge – on literary approaches, forms, genres and cultures – to the discipline, at the same time as it provides a writer with insights to transform their practice. Faculty and student perspectives of a trans-cultural, multidisciplinary, low-residency program, based in Vietnam and Australia, reveal how this unconventional approach is making a difference to PhD pedagogy and creative practice research.
Writing together: Conjunctive collaboration, scholarship and prose poetry
Authors: Hetherington Paul , Atherton Cassandra
Published: May 2021

While there is a good deal of literature about collaboration and teamwork it is often in disciplines other than literary studies and creative writing. Relatively few writers have reflected explicitly on their collaborative work – and, indeed, writers are frequently characterised as sole creators, valued for their individuality and originality. However, in an environment where collaborative work is being given increased emphasis in the academy, and where there is broad recognition that claims to autonomy by creative artists are doubtful, this paper reflects on its authors’ experience of a writerly collaborative partnership that grew out of a mutual interest in prose poetry and creative practice, and which resulted in a co-authored monograph on prose poetry for Princeton University Press. This collaborative relationship, which began with modest aims, has been characterised by inventiveness and trust and has developed in unexpected ways. It may be understood as an example of what Donna Lee Brien and Tess Brady (2003) call Joint Collaboration, or what Vera John-Steiner (2000) characterises as Integrative Collaboration. However, the authors propose the alternative term, Conjunctive Collaboration, as a way of characterising the new connections and combinations that their collaborative relationship has brought.
A flare of light or ‘the great clomping foot of nerdism?’: M John Harrison’s radical poetics of worldbuilding
Authors: Marshall Helen
Published: May 2021

Over the last forty years, as Mark JP Wolf argues, worldbuilding has become central to the art of writing science fiction and fantasy books, as market conditions prioritise fictional worlds that are encyclopaedic, extendible, franchisable, consumable and which generate new forms of cultural pleasure. Following early fantasists George MacDonald and JRR Tolkien, much advice focuses on invention, completeness and internal consistency. This paper provides a counterpoint, arguing for the importance of M John Harrison in developing a poetics of scepticism toward worldbuilding, which he calls ‘the great clomping foot of nerdism’ (Harrison 2007b). The deliberate shifting depiction of his most famous fantasy world Viriconium – the Pastel City – across a sequence of novels and short stories exemplifies how he translates his radical poetics into practice. Focusing on blog posts, articles and internet comment threads in addition to literary works and my own exercises, I explore how Harrison developed a politically oriented approach to ‘the world’ in relation to the New Wave of the 60s and 70s and the New Weird of the last fifteen years, and I contrast it with contemporary approaches from China Miéville, Jeff VanderMeer and Timothy Morton.

Kurangk/Coorong atmospheres: Postcolonial stories and regional futures
Authors: Potter Emily , Magner Brigid
Published: May 2021

This paper proposes an atmospheric understanding of regional writing, and considers a critical methodology for assembling a literary history of the Kurangk/Coorong region of South Australia. In opposition to literary history guided by national forms, this methodology works from within the shifting entanglements of postcolonial place and its many stories, recognising the material impacts of poetic practice on more-than-human environments. The future of the Kurangk/Coorong is caught up in how this place has, and continues to be, imagined and narrated.
Introduction
Authors: Lee McGowan , Alex Philp , Jeffery Ella
Published: May 2021

The idea for a TEXT Special Issue centred on collaboration emerged when we, as three creative writing academics in different stages of our careers, began discussing not only how we collaborated, but why we did (or did not) do it. Our discussions ranged from the collaborative process as a means to build capacity, academic employability, and a research profile; to produce a sense of belonging in HDR communities; and to the deeply rewarding though at times challenging nuances of working with colleagues who are also friends. Collaborative endeavours raise questions of opportunity and innovation, and of power shifts and hierarchies, as well as of what we value as practitioners. The increasing pressure to publish placed on academics in all stages of their careers by both our institutions and the broader research environment demands further considerations. Questions raised in our early discussions are centred in this Special Issue. We ask: How does collaboration in our patch of the academy work? What are the possible benefits and challenges of collaborative practice? How do we build creative writing communities in the academy, and why should we?
Asking writers to choose: Clive James and the tensions of multimodal authorship
Authors: Gíslason Kári
Published: May 2021

Over the past decades, there has been a marked change in the expectations on writers to maintain public profiles and to participate in the marketing and dissemination of their work in a wide range of contexts. In contrast to an enduring myth of authors as solitary in their lives and singular in their writing, many writers today engage with readers and audiences across a number of media platforms. At the same time, the critical reception of varied writing practices does not necessarily support writers as they attempt to do so. This article discusses the career of Australian author Clive James (1939–2019), whose practice was particularly varied in nature, and an example of a writer adapting their writing to different and emerging forms and genres. While James was commonly praised for the range of his artistic pursuits and the quantity of his publications, the conflicted critical reception of his writing reveals the enduring nature of concepts of authorship that privilege authors’ separation and specialisation ahead of social engagement and multimodality. I argue that a more sympathetic approach is one that analyses and supports multimodal practice in terms that reflect its aims and unique contributions, and so acknowledges the ways in which a multimodal practice can benefit writers, both artistically and practically.
Writing and rewriting Australia: ECR collaboration in designing and delivering an Australian literary studies unit
Authors: Jeffery Ella , Piccini Mark
Published: May 2021

Collaboration plays an increasingly important role in the academy, and for early career researchers (ECRs) is seen as a particularly central practice for developing community, increasing productivity and building a research profile. Collaborative practices are most frequently adopted in the research space, but we contend that there is also significant value in collaboration between ECRs in unit design and development, teaching-based areas that are traditionally the domain of a single academic. In this paper, we discuss our collaborative approach to the design of an Australian literary studies unit named Writing Australia, in which the Unit Coordinator, a full-time lecturer and ECR, shared the space of unit design and development with the ECR contracted to deliver the unit’s tutorials, a final-year PhD candidate. This approach enabled the unit’s tutor to acquire crucial skills that are required for academics roles, but the collaborative approach also resulted in the development of a unit that was itself far more focused on collaborative, multi-vocal delivery that asked students to engage with Australian literature not as a static body of texts, but as varied, diverse, and ever-evolving discussion about what it means to be Australian, as well as the ways in which Australia as an ideological edifice is endlessly constructed and reconstructed in our national literature
Three women, one touchstone: writing through crises from the ‘girls’ desk
Authors: McGinn Heather Briony
Published: May 2021

A humble desk, handmade by my grandmother, is my current place of work, as I have been recently uprooted from an academic office space. It is talisman and anchor, witness to three generations of mastering craft, private grief and quiet resilience. Taking this unassuming object as a prompt, I conducted a creative interrogation into the impact of objects on writing practice. Simply moving my practice from an institutional space to a private one has teased matrilineal embodied narratives out of hiding. Stories of poverty and subversion suddenly speak through me, as if there are spectres in the timber of this so-called ‘Girls’ Desk’ that intersect with flesh-memory. This piece will reflect on the process of writing through my grandmother’s desk and include examples of the resulting prose and poetry.
The key of knowledge
Authors: Barnett Claudia R.
Published: May 2021

Keys are used to gain access, knowledge, and power but what happens when these everyday items are transformed into supernatural objects? Do they, in turn, become a source of knowledge and power? Charles Perrault played with this concept by portraying a key as a magical lie detector in his infamous ‘Bluebeard’ fairy tale (1695). In this story, the husband is portrayed as a serial killer who uses the lure of forbidden knowledge to manipulate his wife and instigate a series of events to justify her murder. This structuring of crime and punishment within the framework of marriage makes this fairy tale unique.

The scholarship attached to Bluebeard’s key includes an examination of this object as a metaphor for female sexual curiosity and infidelity (Bettelheim 1991: 301), and a means of accessing feminine consciousness (Estes 2017: 40). In his 1796 English translation of the French text, R.S. Gent writes that the ‘key was a Fairy’ (28). Gent’s words stirred my imagination; What if the key had been a woman, magically entrapped as a key? Would she tell a different story? This creative interrogation explores the gendered violence and power structures in Perrault’s ‘Bluebeard’ narrative.

‘The key of knowledge’ uses a socio-historical, Foucauldian framework and creative writing research methodology to examine Perrault’s ‘Bluebeard’ as a discourse of disciplinary punishment.
Letters from Adelaide and Prayagraj
Authors: Silvia Arnis , Sharma Susheel Kumar
Published: May 2021

The collaborative work consisting of corresponding poems between an Adelaide-based poet Arnis Silvia and a Prayagraj-based poet Susheel Sharma deals with anthropological phenomena like identity, ecological awareness and social justice. Taking the geographical background in both resident cities, the six pairs of poems reflect on how both the poets understand the world around them along with its impact on them personally and socially. The poets have employed some principles of duoethnography in their poetic conversations by dialoguing themselves with another self, with another context of culture, tradition, values, histories and meaning-making (Sawyer & Norris 2012). The authors have attempted to put themselves in someone else’s shoes and have tried to see the world through their and others’ eyes to better understand the reality(ies) that were portrayed in the poems. The authors have discovered that despite their geographical and cultural differences, they share many similarities in terms of the issues they deal with daily; they struggle with their selves to make sense of the world and they reflect on realities in their surroundings to understand them better.
The Les Murray of our imaginations: Darwin to Mumbai
Authors: Sefton-Rowston Adelle , Sharma Sunil
Published: May 2021

This article sees paired Australian and Indian poets, Adelle Sefton-Rowston and Sunil Sharma, come together to compare their home cities from different locations and sensibilities. Adelle writes of Darwin – a small tropical city in Northern Australia – while Sunil captures the cultural context of developing Mumbai. The authors offer a discursive exchange, trying to locate similar struggles and concerns about the cities they each live in, and contrasting their different demographics and lifestyles as a common poetical province. Both Australia and India share a legacy of colonisation and its associated violences. Yet the experiences of coloniser and colonised are very different. How do two different poets from either country and positions of racial power find an interconnected space to openly share their contemporary experiences of place and belonging?What are the more nuanced survival tactics associated with belonging to each place? Darwin and Mumbai converge in this duoethnography, as poets explore the symmetries of life in this unique literary project pinned together through a global poet. Serendipitously the pair share a common transnational bond through Les Murray’s work, as Adelle creates a conceptual mosaic from the late author’s words, describing her home, while Sunil reflects on his own personal encounter with Murray some years ago.
Sites and citations
Authors: Symes Dominic , Ray Bishnupada
Published: May 2021

This collection of poems is a gesture of cross-cultural response that seeks to explore the relationship between place and displacement in the work of two poets, Bishnupada Ray from North Bengal, India and Dominic Symes from Adelaide, Australia. Ray’s poetry examines topography as the evidence of scarring, a demonstration of the pain of displacement. Pilgrimage is a strong link between the work of Ray and Symes, with both poets documenting their experience of travel to sites of cultural significance. Symes’ poetry shows the possibility for sites to represent a literary inheritance, tracing how poetry is able to be written into and respond to the surface of painting through ekphrasis. Irony is an important tool for both poets in approaching the spectre of colonialism and its ongoing legacy. Ray’s poetry examines the full force and significance of geography as an insight into the nature of human domination and oppression, an insight that uncovers the politics of difference in the conventional binaries like mind and body, the spiritual and the physical, and this notion of contrast (a concept held up in the light of its opposite) returns in Symes’ poetry through the image of a ‘Black Mirror’. The dark truths uncovered in these poems speak to the urgency experienced by the citizens of two countries dealing ineffectively with the climate crisis, to suggest that the suffering inflicted upon the earth is felt equally by the people who inhabit it.
Anticipation, encounter, engagement

This paper traces in three movements the experience of an imaginary and symbolic encounter with poet Bashabi Fraser: anticipation, encounter, engagement. The paper incorporates three poems by Fraser together with my poetic responses and reflections on that dialogic process. The paper documents how, taking into account the editors’ brief, I approached the task of responding poetically to three of Fraser’s poems: ‘Teesta and the Transforming Flood of 1968’, ‘Goa’, and ‘Himalayan Secrets’, and how and why I wrote ‘Apology to Kavia’, ‘Gomanchala’, and the ‘mourner’s riposte’ to ‘Himalayan Secrets’. The paper has a real catch
Land and links: Poetic connections between Kolkata/Jhargram and Canberra
Authors: Sarangi Jaydeep , Strange Shane
Published: May 2021

This collaborative engagement is corresponding poems between a Canberra-based poet, Shane Strange, and a Kolkata-based poet, Jaydeep Sarangi, which explores themes like local awareness, links with the land and natural resources, and reflections on thoughts and cultural aspects of life. Taking the social and linguistic background in both poets, these poems reflect on how we both communicate with the world poetically. We maintained some principles like dialoguing ourselves with another self, with another context of life, customs, values, histories and forces and functions of the society. We wanted to imagine each other as paired and partnered, one reflecting the other. Together, we unearthed many similarities in terms of the issues we deal with to make sense of the immediate and beyond. Even though we are way apart in geography, terra firma, culture and language our engagements with words unite us within a rare fabric of proximity of thought and tuning. Expressions and images link, and bind us together

Peripheral knowledge and feeling: the Perimeters poems
Authors: Hetherington Paul , Atherton Cassandra
Published: May 2021

A great deal of what any of us know and feel is elusive, and much of what we ‘know’ is at the periphery of consciousness. Sometimes this (often subversive) knowledge or feeling iscomposed of nearly inaccessiblememory material; sometimes it consists of bodily knowledge still being formed into mental conceptsandsearchingfor the language in which it may be expressed. This knowledge is often situated on the outskirts of our usual modes of apprehensionand–to the extent that we access it at all–is experienced as an intuition, intimation, mood, hint, inkling, suggestionor glimpse. In the right circumstances, writers are able to bring such knowledge into their creative compositions–and, indeed, there is occasionally a sense that art isthe medium that finally permits itsfull expression. As a way of exploringsome of our ’peripheral’knowledge through an intuitive creative process, in early 2018 we embarked on a collaborative project to write prose poems (which we exchanged as textmessages) exploring the idea of perimeters. To date we have produced a series of prose poems for this ongoing collaborative project
Writing on common ground: the lyric essay as a decolonising form
Authors: Howe Christine
Published: May 2021

Is it possible for Australian settler writers to decolonise their writing, and if so, what form might this writing take? This paper explores the challenges facing settler writers

who wish to respectfully acknowledge the sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to participate in the movement towards a ’fair and truthful

relationship’ (‘Uluru statement from the heart’ 2017). The value of the lyric essay as a poetic form that resists straightforward answers – but rather allows for links to be drawn between the past and the present, complicity and healing, and the land and our experience of it – is explored.

Affectionate love: an autoethnographic investigation into a dark inheritance
Authors: Taylor Josephine
Published: May 2021

This paper investigates an enigmatic past through autoethnographic research and writing devoted to nineteenth-century London surgeon Isaac Baker Brown and his family, with reference to the medical condition vulvodynia. The most obvious absence the article seeks to address is the identity of the dedicatee to whom Isaac made out, in 1866, with ‘affectionate love’, a copy of his book, On the curability of certain forms of insanity, epilepsy, catalepsy, and hysteria in females. Forms of disruption the paper explicitly investigates are twofold: ‘unintentional’ erasure as a consequence of information lost over time, with a focus on Isaac’s actions, and the fate of family members in Australia; and medical violation of English women through Victorian-era clitoridectomy. The article demonstrates how research on the peripheries of medical history might implicate the researcher and generate creative conjecture and writing, accounting for historical gaps and erasures, and interrogating the gendered wielding of power. It employs fictional interludes as an example of attempts to make sense of emotional and ethical ambivalence and to find appropriate creative form for research dilemmas. The paper illustrates the capacity of research and writing to draw attention to what remains unsaid about the historical perception and medical treatment of ‘disordered’ female bodies. Finally, the article reinforces the reflexive capacity of research by centralising the positioning of the author in relation to what is discovered and gestures towards writing as responsibility and reparation.
Disrupting leaps of experience: digital storyworlds, transformative poiesis/praxis and narrative agency
Authors: Le Rossignol Karen
Published: May 2021

Entering the digital storyworld of Deakinopolis (a narrative-based world of interrelated

settings, characters and situations) is about imaginatively entering an alternative

fictional storyworld that largely presents as factual, an experience that mirrors tertiary

learners’ realities. Malouf talks of experience of story as ’… being taken out of

ourselves into the skin of another; having adventures there that are both our own and

not our own … Release … into a dimension where reality is not limited’ (2008: 19).

The digital storyworld of Deakinopolis contains alternative or imagined realities, where

learners project their own experience in making this world coherent through their

engagement with potentially unsettling perspectives. To encourage agency in active

learner exploration, the storyworld is suspended out of time and sequence so that

participants can imagine themselves through lapsed borders into that seemingly

peripheral world. The learners activate their immersive engagement in this digital

storyworld through praxical experience of unsettling perspectives, with potential for

disrupting singular perspectives into transformative immersion of imagination as

poiesis.
Out of sight: the censoring of family diversity in picture books
Authors: Mokrzycki Sarah
Published: May 2021

Family diversity has long been censored, silenced, and ignored in Australian picture

books. Despite its long running representation in books for older readers, the concept

of exploring family diversity at picture book level remains nothing short of radical. Of

the little available, much comes in the form of issue-driven books and from specialist

presses overseas, presenting a distinct gap in Australian children’s literature. The

contentious history of diversity in children’s books creates added issues in the struggle

for representation, and diverse stories (and diverse authors) face ongoing challenges.

Furthermore, public outrage at the ‘shunning’ of nuclear families, as well as society’s

distorted understanding of what constitutes diversity, present further complications in

the advocating for family-diverse stories. This essay will examine what it means to be

a family, the issues surrounding family diversity in picture books, and why such books

deserve to be championed.
A common space: translation, transcreation, and drama
Authors: Glance Vivienne , Jaccomard Hélène
Published: May 2021

Internationally renowned French playwright and novelist Yasmina Reza’s ten plays

have been translated into more than 35 languages, with the exception of Dans la luge

d’Arthur Schopenhauer, or On Arthur Schopenhauer’s Sledge (2005). This short play

is made up of eight monologues for stage but is resolutely non-dramatic. The translation

of such a hybrid text from French into English is a first-time collaboration between a

translator, Hélène Jaccomard, and a transcreator, Vivienne Glance.

Prior to this, Glance, the transcreator, has been working with limited-English speaking

authors to co-transcreate their works into English, doing so with no knowledge of their

mother tongue. In contrast, for On Arthur Schopenhauer’ Sledge, Glance worked on a

rough English translation, with some knowledge of the original French but no access

to the author. Professional experience of acting and directing plays allowed the

transcreator to ensure each character’s voice sounded natural, true, and distinctive in

English.

Jaccomard, the translator, translated the French text into English, a second language,

when literary translators typically work into their first language. Jaccomard’s command

of English was often challenged by transferring a source language that is both abstract

and precise, tackles philosophical ideas, and creates the characters’ moods and humour.

This paper analyses how co-transcreation practice between Jaccomard and Glance

operates in the space common to translation for the stage, close textual analysis, and

drama performance.
Hybridization as a biodiversity driver: The case of Veronica × gundisalvi

Published: May 2021

Hybridization is an important mechanism in plant evolution, which contributes to the adaptability and biological diversity of species in fundamental ways. Based on morphological data, Veronica × gundisalvi Sennen (Veronica orsiniana × V. tenuifolia subsp. tenuifolia) is an Iberian endemic taxon of presumably polytopic hybrid origin restricted to five localities in Catalonia, where the putative parental species grow in sympatry. In this study, species distribution models were developed for the putative parental species to seek potential new localities where active hybridization could be taking place. As a result, a new location of this nothotaxon in Zaragoza is provided, along with a chromosome count and ploidy level estimations. The data presented here further support Veronica × gundisalvi as a homoploid hybrid taxon that occurs in non-altered habitats. In contrast to the traditional view of hybridization as deleterious for the conservation of biodiversity, it does not always represent a problem in this regard. Hybridization is a complex evolutionary force that requires case-specific evaluation. Given that biodiversity loss is one of the main contemporary challenges, it is important to consider the creative nature of hybridization, a widespread evolutionary mechanism able to produce novel diversity.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on all levels of society, including the people of Bangka. Positive cases of Covid-19 in Riding Panjang Village are still relatively high and continue to grow. This results in a high transmission rate. Therefore, this problem needs to be considered so that it is handled as soon as possible to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. Public awareness of the importance of adhering to health protocols is still very minimal, this is what has become the main cause of transmission of the Covid-19 virus. Based on these problems, there is a need for public awareness to change behavior patterns to better comply with health protocols in tackling the spread of Covid-19. With that, it is important to make an effort that can make the public's mindset aware of the importance of complying with health protocols, namely by holding outreach activities in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This socialization was conducted in Bukit Tulang Hamlet, Riding Panjang Village, Belinyu District, Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. As for the activities achieved from this socialization, the community is more concerned with complying with health protocols such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands.
INFLUENCING PROACTIVE AND REACTIVE AGGRESSION: C-SELF THE SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING FORTIFICATION PROGRAM IN ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA.

There are no structured programs to respond to youth violence amongst students in the Caribbean. There has been little data collected and organized research conducted on the efficacy and impact of programs which may combat youth violence. Without rigorous impact evaluations, the region continues to lack effective and sustaining strategies for preventive programs. This manuscript shares outcomes from the implementation of the Children and Youth Social-Emotional Learning Fortification (C-SELF) strategy embedded into the curriculum in five schools in Antigua and Barbuda. In 2020, using data from 2017 to 2018, a mixed method study was conducted with 482 (intervention) and 152 (control) primary school students. Data was analyzed for the influence of the intervention on 16 factors. The findings suggest positive outcomes, without significance, in self-control and competence. It demonstrates the importance of social-emotional learning curriculum changes to increase children’s mastery of self-regulated behaviors, decision-making, self-management, and self-leadership skills.
