Rex Patterson: A Voice for the North
No full textThis is the first biography of Rex Patterson, Federal Labor Member for Dawson in northern Queensland, a seat which he won unexpectedly in 1966 from the Country Party. In some ways his win marked the rise and rise of Gough Whitlam who a year later became federal Labor leader and eventually took Labor to victory in December 1972. Rex was a different sort of Labor member for that time – university educated and interested in rural and regional issues. He was a good choice by Whitlam in being made the first Minister for Northern Development. He also served as Minister for the Northern Territory; for a brief period in 1975, Patterson’s two portfolios were amalgamated and he became the first Minister for Northern Australia.
With the Whitlam Government falling apart in the last few months of 1975 with ministerial sackings and resignations, Patterson took over in the senior portfolio of Agriculture, but it was short-lived. A month later the Whitlam Government was sacked and lost at the subsequent December election. Rex lost his seat at that time and never returned to federal politics. Despite his brief time in office, Rex Patterson left a mark not just for his policy achievements and ideas, but for his dexterity and all round decency which this volume highlights so well

Cutting'aesthetic teeth' : Flannery O'Connor's habit of art
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEste trabalho foi sugerido pela afirmação de Flannery O'Connor que sua "dedicação estética" nasceu através do contato com Art and Scholasticism de Jacques Maritain. O propósito foi chegar a uma interpretação do sentido da frase. Uma investigação detalhada foi feita do conteúdo de Art and Scholasticism, posteriormente contrastada com os resultados de uma pesquisa feita em seus ensaios e suas cartas, o que revelou numerosos ecos de diversos trechos constando no texto de Maritain. Três pontos principais foram escolhidos como critérios na análise do hábito artístico de O'Connor: 1) a prática de arte implica uma luta; 2) a arte somente pode ser percebida pelos sentidos; e 3) a prática de arte exige do artista a dedicação indivisa à obra nascente. O estudo conclui que, para O'Connor, o brotar da dentição estética, através da leitura de Art and Scholasticism, significou que, ao perceber na análise da natureza da arte algo com que podia concordar, ela reconheceu tanto sua própria capacidade de tornar-se uma artista literária, quanto sua vontade de assumir a tarefa de desenvolver em sua pessoa o hábito de arte
Walker Connor
No full textI met Walker Connor in 1972 at the Glazer and Moynihan conference on ethnicity held at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (Glazer and Moynihan 1975). We thought we would be intimidated by the company at the conference: Talcott Parsons, Daniel Bell, Andy Greeley, Orlando Patterson, Bill Petersen, and Lucian Pye – a good sample of the elders of social theory. By then Walker had published three articles in World Politics in five years – perhaps a record – including one containing his splendid deconstruction of the theories of Karl Deutsch. But I think we acquitted ourselves well enough – especially Walker did. He was the star of the show, with numerous observations on boiling or incipient conflicts across the globe that many of the elders did not know about (or did not know existed). Unfortunately, he did not submit an essay for the volume that came out of the conference (Glazer and Moynihan 1975).</jats:p
