The September 2000 edition
of Australian Humanities Review
is now uploaded at:
http://www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/AHR/

This issue of AHR features a target article
by Libby Robin:

    In "Paradox on the Queensland Frontier", Libby Robin
    uses the famous 'discovery' of the egg-laying habits of
    platypus to look at some cross-cultural dimensions of
    science in nineteenth century Australia.

Plus,

    Beth Spencer ponders John Howard's reluctance to say
    "Those two little words";

    for those bitten by Olympics fever, have a look at:

    Suzanne Kiernan's 1997 essay: "Animadversions: On the Cultural
    Olympics" which explores the origins of cultural olympics,
    contrasting their impetus with that of Sydney's proposed
    [in 1997] Olympic Arts Festival"

    and

    Philip Batty's "Saluting the dot-spangled banner: Aboriginal
    Culture, National Identity and the Australian Republic" which
    looks at the appropriation of Aboriginal tropes in representations
    of Australian identity, particularly in the promotion of the
    Sydney 2000 Olympics. This essay was published by AHR in 1998;

    and also,

    there's AHR's new section, "Hard Currency" which takes a look
    at what's happening in other journals around the country.
    This issue features: Voiceworks, among others.
    See http://spider.lib.latrobe.edu.au/AHR/currency/

As always, our Good Oil section has the latest
in conferences both locally and internationally.
Please email AHR if you'd like your event advertised
free of charge.

Good reading,
Elizabeth McMahon, editor
