Replacement of Cakile edentula with Cakile maritima in New South Wales and on Lord Howe Island
No full textTwo species of Cakile (Brassicaceae) have been introduced to Australia and the genus has been a common feature on the beaches of NSW for over 130 years; Cakile edentula has been present for at least 148 years (in NSW since about 1870), while Cakile maritima arrived approximately 114 years ago, (in NSW since about 1969). Collections at CANB and NSW confirm that since around 1970 plants more like Cakile maritima have almost entirely replaced Cakile edentula along the NSW coast. A similar phenomenon is reported for Lord Howe Island
'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Within the Context of Comparative, International and Development Education
No full textCurriculum, teaching and learning should include a component of Comparative, International and Development Education. It is increasingly important for teachers to foster global citizenship, international cooperation and cross-cultural understanding, within the dialectic of the global and the local. By reaching beyond the four walls of classrooms, teachers can gain broader, international perspectives and a deeper sociocultural understanding of curriculum, teaching and learning. Thus, enriching student experience and substantially improving teacher professional development. While there are many potentially significant cross-cultural lessons in teaching pedagogy, teachers have few opportunities. However, through educational exchanges and shared experience, teachers can become introduced to alternative forms of schooling and can learn to think more critically about traditional approaches to education. In this paper, I propose using Comparative, International and Development Education to enhance teacher education and situate my own cross-cultural experiences in curriculum, teaching and learning in Canada and Japan within this context.Not peer reviewedThe published version in the this article is available: Howe, E.

A Poetics of Scholarly Inquiry: Susan Howe, Charles Bernstein, and Rachel Blau DuPlessis
No full textThis dissertation examines the poetic works of three Language-oriented poet-critics with particular emphasis on the question of the co-optation of Language School poetry by the American academy. Performing a close analysis of their discursive engagement with institutional structures and scholarly practice, I argue that Susan Howe, Charles Bernstein, and Rachel Blau DuPlessis write a poetics of scholarly inquiry that not only challenges current and historical models of literary scholarship, but also submits a revised literary-critical practice based on principles of subjectivity, sophistry, and provisionality.
Chapter One sets the theoretical groundwork for my investigation of these poets\u27 scholarly interventions, arguing that their tactical poetic resistance to academic practices is best carried out by their locations within academe as experimentalist poet-critics. The chapter on Susan Howe\u27s The Nonconformist\u27s Memorial examines her revision of the field of textual studies in order to critique the scientific objectivity of the New Critical school of literary interpretation and to emphasize the value of personal insight in scholarly readings of texts. Chapter Three looks at Bernstein\u27s volume, The Sophist, as a critique of the official verse culture that he believes is sustained by the academy, specifically examining his rhetorical engagement of the I or first-person speaker integral to mainstream verse. My final chapter on Rachel Blau DuPlessis\u27 Drafts 1-38 Toll, focuses on her use of citation as a means to both de-lyricize her poetry and to examine the ways in which women and other minorities are positioned within discourses. I end with a brief conclusion suggesting that these poets\u27 interventionist emphases on collaboration, rhetorical awareness, and self-implication function to suggest newer models of poetry pedagogy
