Wanjina: Notes on Some Iconic Ancestral Beings of the Northern Kimberley
AU$80.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKim Akerman
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2016.“Wanjina Beings — among the most distinctive of all the Aboriginal Ancestral Beings depicted in Australian rock art — have been a topic of conjecture among Western scholars since their discovery by the explorer George Grey in the northwest Kimberley Region of Australia, in 1838. Their origins have at various times been ascribed to travellers from other continents and even extraterrestrial sources. This essay presents a brief history of past research into the Wanjina cult of the Kimberley: and examines some of the core mythology that embraces the country of the Wanjina and which links people, from the coasts lapping the Timor Sea, to the fastness of the Kimberley Plateau. Drawing together a range of ethnographic data this essay shows that the Wanjinas have played an integral role in underpinning the identity of the Worrorra, Wunambal and Ngarinyin peoples. This cultural connection stretches back for many millenia and continues today, through both oral traditions and the visual arts, playing a major role in defining the bond that holds these three groups of Indigenous Australians together.” (publisher’s blurb)

Finding Heritage Through Fiction in Dracula Tourism
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartToumas Hovi
Helskinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia, 2016.Heritage and tourism have become inextricably linked. Depending on the view point, the effect of this link can be seen either negative or positive. Does tourism produce inauthentic and falsified tradition, threatening cultural heritage? Or does it, in fact, help to preserve heritage, culture and folklore in a changing and globalizing world? Tuomas Hovi investigates heritage in the context of Dracula tourism in Romania: tourists visiting places connected with either the fictional vampire Dracula or the historical Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, a 15th century Romanian ruler. How is Romanian heritage and culture presented and promoted through a seemingly superficial Dracula tourism based on Western popular fiction in Dracula tourism? Finding Heritage Through Fiction in Dracula Tourism offers new perspectives on the research literate concerning tourism and heritage, and a folkloristic view of tourism research. FF Communications No. 311 published by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.

Cabramatta: A Moment in Time
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarkus Andersen
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2016.“Cabramatta is not your typical Australian suburb. If you took a stroll through the streets of this south-western Sydney hub, you may feel like you are in Southeast Asia. However, the suburb of Cabramatta is emblematic of modern Australia — urban, busy and brimming with multicultural activity. Sydney photographer Markus Andersen has captured this melting pot of cultures in his distinctive, street photography style. His raw, sometimes playful images show the uniquely diverse and human side of Cabramatta, seizing little moments of beauty in everyday life. A year in the life of one of AustraliaÂ’s most vivid multicultural communities, suspended in the amber of Markus Andersen’s lens.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by Andersen.

Sex and Horror Volume 4
AU$55.00 Read MoreAdd to cartNicola D’Agostino; Y. El-Droubie
London: Korero Press, 2016.“This is the fourth title in our bestselling Sex and Horror series, which celebrates the 1960s and 1970s publishing phenomenon known as fumetti sexy–Italian adult comics with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history and fairy tales. The comics were hugely successful, due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humour, gory violence, and up-front eroticism; however, what makes them so sought-after today is their technicolour cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters. Here is a further collection of those superb covers–a visual feast of outrageous pulp art.” (publisher’s blurb)
