The MAJOR PUBLIC EVENT at the John Curtin Gallery that launched Permeable Boundaries: a field of possibilities
No full textResearch Background :: This event served to bring the industry, profession, educators and students together to reflect on the nature of Interior Architecture (IA), to challenge preconceptions, and to choreograph a number of significant aspects of Interior Architecture into the evening. The design and production of the event took on a dynamic and experiential form involving the manipulation of space through a projected evolving over-scaled graphic-image installation and the integration of formalities including international guest speaker Patrick Chong, 3Design+Asia Group and the Minister for the Arts. This culminated with a moving mime-performance by disguised senior students through the audience to depict their understandings of Interior Architecture. The qualities of fluidity and impermanence that characterise interior architecture within research and practice were thereby experienced first hand to complement the exhibition held in the individual gallery space at the John Curtin Gallery.Research Contribution :: The event was conceived as a conduit, which on the night served to reinforce and demonstrate the emerging concepts of Interior Architecture as ‘a field’ that offers permeability yet definition. As did the exhibition, its creation evolved as the researchers understandings of the Interior was solidified over the project. The major research contribution was the redefinition of the profession of IA in the contemporary in the University education arena as well as complementing the abstract concepts that define what Interior Architecture is; and, how the design of an event is the core business of IA Practice and thereby modelling through the creative practice.Research Significance :: The action research model produced an event that positioned Interior Architecture within a contemporary way of considering education and practice. It included a Catalogue, with significant contributors, which was distributed through the CU bookstore and John Curtin Gallery as well as by mail order. The catalogue relates the analysis of the data collected and the conceptualisation of the Discipline. It included furniture piece by Penelope Forlano demonstrating cutting edge detailing and making as well as design. It integrated the work of 20 practitioners spanning a breadth of destinations and career paths. It also engaged the audience, with immediacy through interactive dimensions, in the concepts.PROOF OF PRESTIGIOUS QUALITY :: Held in prestigious gallery, John Curtin Gallery - Supported by the Vice Chancellor of Curtin University - Won a Pro Vice Chancellor’s 2010 award for Excellence - Attracted 300 members of the profession, industry and educators - Received publicity through local media and nationally through InDesign e-magazin
Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
A mixed methods study exploring fatigue in advanced cancer care
No full textBackground: Many people are living for longer with advanced cancer because of
improvements in cancer treatments. Fatigue is the most prevalent and burdensome
symptom in this cohort of patients. Thus, many could benefit from any improvements in the
assessment and management of fatigue in advanced cancer care. This PhD explored how
fatigue was talked about in advanced cancer care, how oncologists approached it and how
patients dealt with it.
Methods: A mixed methods design combining video-recordings, questionnaires and
interviews was used. The study was divided into three parts: Part A, video-recorded
observations of palliative oncology visits; Part B, interviews with patients with fatigue; and
Part C, interviews with oncologists. Data from observations were analysed using content
analysis and some of the concepts and tools of conversation analysis. Data from semistructured
interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. The data were integrated, with
the CA findings the primary component of this study and a summary of findings was
produced. Results: In Part A, 60 visits were recorded, and 37 patient participants reported clinically
relevant fatigue. Talk connected with fatigue occurred in 82% of consultations and was often
sequentially linked with discussions around goals of care and end of life issues. Resistance to
treatment recommendations and advice giving for fatigue was recurrently observed. In Part
B, 22 patients with fatigue were interviewed. The overarching theme ‘interconnectedness’
demonstrated how participants coped with fatigue through an array of interrelated
strategies and influences. In Part C, nine oncologists were interviewed. The overarching
theme ‘fatigue is perceived as different’ described how fatigue was challenging to assess and
challenged the role of the cancer doctor.
Conclusions: The findings showed how fatigue is a complex phenomenon in advanced
cancer care and how it can be integral to the decision-making surrounding palliative cancer
treatments. For patients, fatigue is seen as an acceptable trade-off for the prolongation of
life, and this was acutely observed when resistance to proposals to reduce or withdraw
cancer treatments occurred. Cancer clinicians may need to consistently reassure patients
that alterations to palliative cancer treatments to lessen the burden of fatigue would not
reduce survival
Patrick Chamoiseau Recovering Memory

The investigation in "Dora Bruder" of Patrick Modiano
No full textreservedIl presente lavoro si propone di affrontare il tema dell’indagine, dell’inchiesta investigativa nel romanzo “Dora Bruder” dello scrittore francese Patrick Modiano, pubblicato nel 1997. Si tratta del più noto successo editoriale dell’autore, il quale, in una narrazione al contempo biografica ed autobiografica, si mette sulle tracce di Dora Bruder, una giovane ragazza ebrea scomparsa nel 1941, di cui si sono perse definitivamente le tracce. La presente tesi si compone di tre capitoli. Nel primo, si analizzeranno i motivi che spingono l’autore ad occuparsi della vicenda della giovane ragazza scomparsa proprio durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Successivamente, nel secondo capitolo, si passerà ad affrontare come l’autore compie la propria indagine per comprendere che cosa le sia accaduto, diventando una sorta di investigatore su un vecchio caso di scomparsa. Ed infine, nell’ultimo capitolo, si analizzerà quale sarà l’esito della sua indagine.This work proposes to deal with the subject of investigation in the novel "Dora Bruder" by French writer Patrick Modiano, published in 1997. It’s the most known publishing success of the author, which, in a narrative in the meantime biographical and autobiographical, goes on the trail of Dora Bruder, a young Jewish girl disappeared in 1941, of whom all traces have been definitively lost. This thesis is composed by three chapters. In the first, we will analyse the reasons why the author deal with the story of the young girl vanished during the Second World War. Then, in the second chapter, we will approach how the author does his own investigation to understand what happened to her, becoming sort of a detective on an old case of disappearence. Finally, in the last chapter, we focus on which it’ll be the outcome of his investigation
