Wild Australia: Meston’s Wild Australia Show, 1892-1893
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMichael Aird; Mandana Mapar; Paul Memmott
Brisbane: University of Queensland Anthropology Museum, 2015.“The ‘Wild Australia Show’ was conceived by Archibald Meston and was a travelling troupe of 27 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people conscripted from the Queensland frontier who performed in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne during 1892 and 1893 in preparation for departure on an international tour in the era of World Exhibitions. However the plans were curtailed by contractual disputes, scandals of financial incompetence and accusations of the capture of certain troupe members against their will in chains. The exhibition came out of a meticulous process of collection and research by Queensland Museum senior curators Michael Aird and Mandana Mapar, and University of Queensland academic, Professor Paul Memmott who place the previously unknown images in a visual and historic context. This exhibition catalogue uses the same title of Meston’s show of more than 120 years ago, Wild Australia, and gives human dignity to the names and faces of the people in the photographs, whose strength of spirit and determination are evident in the gazes of the portrait subjects.”

The Structural-Semantic Types of Lithuanian Folk Tales (2 Volumes)
AU$150.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBronislava Kerbelyte
Helskinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia, 2015.I: Genres and Tale Types. II: The Classification and Index of Elementary Plots and Their Types. The classification system of the types of folk tales published by Antti Aarne in 1910 was a much needed and courageous project. Bronislava Kerbelyte has classified more than 40,000 variants of Lithuanian folk tales according to the international catalogue by Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson (AT). She has concluded that it is necessary to improve the classification system. Kerbelyte has determined elementary plots (EP) as structural elements for narratives and created the structural-semantic method for analysis and description of texts on several levels. The classification of elementary plots and their types contains much information about folk tales and about people.

Sideshow Alley: Infamy, the Macabre & the Portrait
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJoanna Gilmour
Canberra: National Portrait Gallery, 2015.“Featuring a sometimes disquieting selection of portraits, Sideshow Alley combines history, biography and the art of portraiture with true crime, scandal and sensation. National Portrait Gallery Curator Joanna Gilmour introduces the relationship between death and portraiture via a focus on the various ways in which artists, photographers and entrepreneurs made use of portraits of Australian convicts and criminals: the canny or unscrupulous publishers trading in salacious prints and penny dreadfuls; the otherwise respectable people who put carte de visite of serial killers into their family albums; the photographic studios doing a brisk trade in portraits of heroes and villains; and the waxworks proprietors who, with their ‘Chambers of Horrors’, turned violence, misfortune and the macabre into a lucrative art form.” (publisher’s blurb)
