The High Court of Australia is a seminal work of architecture, recognised nationally after twenty-five years by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects 'Enduring Architecture' award, and internationally, as one of only ten Australian buildings registered on the Union of International Architects 'Architectural Heritage of the 20th Century'. Since its construction in 1980, the design of the High Court has been consistently ascribed to the architect Colin Madigan – a director of the firm Edwards Madigan Torzillo and Briggs. It is said to embody a 'unity of concept' with Madigan's National G

Abstract:

This thesis explores the ways in which the art museum as a powerful cultural medium shapes the public understanding of artworks and how this work is affected by digital media when the museum displays art online. In an analysis of the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) I focus on how the artwork is encountered and understood in physical and digital contexts through the examination of three modes of museum practice: memory, information, and narrative. I compare each mode's manifestation in the physical museum space to its digital translation, revealing that the NGC largely reproduces its objective

This study provides the first comprehensive account of the institutional history of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (SNGMA) from the earliest calls for its foundation at the start of the twentieth century to the recent series of exhibitions marking its fiftieth anniversary in 2010. The SNGMA is both a unique case‐study and a useful illustrative example of the specific category of modern art museum: the account of its history sets the institution within its wider cultural context and explores the inevitable complexities facing a public gallery devoted to modern art.

Abstract:

The second half of the twentieth century was characterised by drastic changes in the nature of immigration and the growth of mass tourism, leading to the two forms of mobility to become increasingly interconnected. However, much of the work in this area has been concerned with the contemporary implications of these ‘new forms of mobility’. This thesis argues that there is a need to look backwards, and beyond simply a concern with these new forms of mobility, to examine the ways tourism and immigration have intersected and influenced each other historically, at least through the second half of

Abstract:

In 2006, Prime Minister John Howard’s call for the root and renewal of Australian history initiated an ideologically driven process of developing an Australian national history curriculum which was completed by the Labor Government in 2012. Rather than being focussed on pedagogy, the process was characterised by the use of the curriculum as an ideological tool. This thesis provides accounts of the some of the key events during this period and engages with the conceptual debates that underlie the history curriculum being invested with such potent cultural authority.

Abstract:

Learning in 'communities of practice' is a new way of describing and investigating how people learn and has not been applied extensively in research in early childhood or in art galleries. This thesis is a critical case study undertaken with preschool children as they prepared for, participated in and followed up a series of excursions to the National Gallery of Australia. The study explores and analyses children's induction into the practices of the art gallery and their negotiation of the meanings around these practices in the gallery and in their preschool.

Abstract:

In the aftermath of Indian students’ protest in Melbourne in 2009 a heated international debate between Indian and Australian media brought a question at the core of Australian national identity to the centre of national and international attention: is Australia racist? In Australia, public responses to this question have ranged from denial to acknowledgment of the continued existence of racial discrimination in Australia. This binary has been reflected and reproduced in public responses to the problems that international students have been seen to face during their stay in the country: emotio

Sculthorpe’s place in Australian music has subsequently been very prominent, beginning in the early 1960s during his Irkanda period.

This thesis set out to answer a deceptively simple question: why did the 1999 referendum to abolish the Australian Crowns fail? It focuses on the evolving civic personalities, communal identities and popular representations of the Crown in Australia, and how those representations and agents changed over 180 years. Capacities for the Crown’s continuing mutability, especially its divisibility, are at the heart of these imaginings. The answer to the question lies partly in emotions, in passion and the heart rather than in reason and the mind, along with a complex historical mix of other facto

In his book, Inventing Australia: Images and Identity 1688-1980, Richard White argues that: There is no 'real' Australia waiting to be uncovered. A national identity is an invention [. ..]. When we look at ideas about national identity, we need to ask, not whether they are true or false, but what their function is, whose creation they are, and what interests they serve. White's argument is a useful starting point when considering the “obsession” Australian intellectuals have always felt to uncover their national identity, which goes back to the very birth of Australia as a settler

However as the colonies grew and statehood loomed, the of the day sought to withdraw their aid from private schools and their funding on the growing non-denominational, public school systems.

This thesis is an exploration of ancestral narratives in the fiction of Thomas Keneally and Christopher Koch. Initially, ancestry in literature creates an historical relationship which articulates the link between the past and the present. In this sense ancestry functions as a type of cultural memory where various issues of inheritance can be negotiated. However, the real value of ancestral narratives lies in their power to aid in the construction of both personal and communal identities.

History curatorship, as such, lacks a tradition of critical writing about its professional practice.

Abstract:

The ordinary stories of ordinary Aboriginal people are a necessary part of Australian history. Yet museums throughout Australia, and in particular the National Museum of Australia, which are charged with the task of telling these stories, struggle to find appropriate material means to do so: the history which shaped Australian museum collections and the history which shaped contemporary Aboriginal communities do not neatly converge. This research reflects on both. The structure of this thesis is fashioned around three distinct voices. The first of these is my own where I give an account of m

Abstract:

Since the early 1990s, a large body of literature has studied high profile controversies in museums. These scholars have called on museums not to hide from controversy, but rather view controversy as a productive aspect of contemporary museology. Their case is founded on transforming the role of museums - by discarding their associations with tradition and, instead, taking a stand on politically contentious subject matter. But in reality, museums face many social and political pressures that prevent them from fully rallying behind this call. Moreover, to date scholars have overlooked investiga

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>This dissertation examines the development of a distinct Australian foreign policy over the years 1921–57. The period under study was one of immense upheaval for Australia as the nation navigated economic crises, the threat of aggressive Japanese expansion and the sifting power distributions underway in the Asia-Pacific region as the world transitioned from British leadership to that of United States of America. Successive Australian governments carefully observed these global and regional forces, searching for a policy in response. This disse

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Throughout the 1890s and early years of the twentieth century, the FitzGerald Brothers' Circus was the largest and most popular homegrown circus touring in Australasia. Their productions were at once fabulous and educational, parochial and cosmopolitan, political and sensual. The company's principals, Dan and Tom FitzGerald were astute showmen, sensitive to the shifting tastes of their public, and people of all ages and stations found something in their shows that appealed. Drawing on a diverse range of primary source material, this thesis exa
