The sense of a beginning : Bakhtinian dialogic criticism on 'the gospel' in Mark.
Full text linkContemporary literary approaches have caused paradigm shifts in Biblical Studies in the last two decades as it appears in a great deal of Markan studies using narrative, reader-response, deconstructive, feminist, and new historicist approaches. However, literary studies on the Gospel of Mark have not taken into account theoretical questions underlying those approaches. As a result biblical critics are driven by new trends without ever having a chance to examine the critical baggage of the approaches. Consequently, there is a gap of communication between the old and the new one. Therefore this thesis is an attempt to meet the need of enhancing the quality of critical endeavour in biblical studies. In the light of most recent competing critical theories of literature, the first contribution of this thesis is the methodological finding that Bakhtinian dialogic criticism contains the most profound philosophical and practical foundations for solving some crucial theoretical problems in contemporary literary theories. It is a critique to a Saussurian linguistic system of language which becomes the very foundation of modern and postmodern literary criticism. Bakhtinian literary theory shifts the foundation of literary criticism on linguistic signs into the creative activity of the socio-cultural production of human communication. The shift into socio-cultural reality of language communication makes the notion of 'genre' very important to unlock the problem of text and context in literary studies. Since the Gospel of Mark has fascinated most literary critics in Biblical Studies, the problem of 'genre' of this gospel is chosen as the focus of this study. Secondly, as no agreement is reached as to what 'genre' the Gospel of Mark belongs, this thesis makes its contribution to the discussion by locating the problem of 'genre' of Mark in the context of genre theories and argues that the Bakhtinian suggestion to find genre in the socio-cultural sphere by analysing artistic intercourse between narrative agents in Mark has freed the competing analysis from the unresolved problem between the kerygmatic (content oriented) approach and the analogical (form oriented) approach. To achieve finding 'genre' in the socio-cultural sphere, this thesis focuses on Bakhtinian analysis of the process of artistic intercourse between narrative agents. The narrative communicative interrelationships between narrative agents is constructed in this thesis as a 'stereophonic' Bakhtinian model of dialogic communication. This model is an original contribution of this thesis for revising the traditional two dimensional model of narrative communication. Based on this dialogical model of communication, a special role is given to the Bakhtinian 'author-creator' in the realization process of genre through the interaction of polyphonic voices. Through the interaction of voices of the author-artist and the hero we are led to discover a relatively stable type of portraying and controlling reality in Mark, known as the genre of Roman 'satire'. The closest literary affinity is Satyrica by Petronius. This narrative strategy of 'satire' in Mark has its root in the prophetic discourse of the Old Testament which is saturating the speech of the narrator, John the Immerser, the centurion, the people, and even Jesus. Finally, the whole search for Markan 'genre' culminates in the analysis of the realization of genre through the analysis of Bakhtinian chronotope. The reality of the genre of Mark is its social reality that is in its role as dpxrj/ 'beginning'. As the Gospel of Mark proclaims itself as 'a beginning', it defines its claim of socio-cultural 'authority' in early Christianity. It is this 'sense of beginning' which enables the narrating and the narrated world of Mark to interact dialogically

Hinterland: The Rainforest Works of William Robinson: 5 September 2010 to 3 April 2011
Full text linkForeword
Housed in the graceful setting of Old Government House on
QUT’s Gardens Point city campus, the William Robinson Gallery
opened to the public on 27 August 2009. During its first twelve
months of operation, the Gallery has attracted almost 75,000
visitors. Audiences have included local, national and international
visitors including many QUT students, secondary school groups
—one of the Gallery’s target audiences—and various special
interest groups.
The Gallery’s inaugural exhibition Realms of Vision: The Art of
William Robinson provided a fascinating overview of the artist’s
work through the genres that have dominated his mature output:
the interior, farmyard, landscape, seascape and portraiture.
Comprising work primarily from the QUT Art Collection as well
as from William Robinson’s personal collection, the exhibition
spanned the period from the early 1970s to 2008 and was
enthusiastically received by visitors.
The second exhibition Hinterland: The Rainforest Works of William
Robinson focuses on work produced by the artist between 1984
and 2005 whilst living at Beechmont and, subsequently, whilst
maintaining a studio at Springbrook in Queensland’s Gold Coast
hinterland. During this twenty-one year period Robinson painted
some of his most original and compelling compositions,
including the celebrated Creation and Mountain series.
For Robinson, the verdant rainforest afforded a unique
opportunity to explore a subject that had been previously
overlooked by Australian artists. Amid the lush, precipitous
terrain and fertile valleys of the Beechmont landscape, he found
a metaphoric Garden of Eden that captured his imagination
and became the inspirational focus for his art. The ensuing work is a powerful celebration of Robinson’s awe-inspiring response
to the rainforest, which increasingly assumed spiritual and divine
significance for him.
Many of the forty-one works comprising Hinterland have seldom
before been shown publicly. Visitors to the Gallery will be
delighted with the selection, which includes paintings, drawings,
lithographs and ceramics. Works range in scope from the early
puddle pictures, to images of William and Shirley Robinson
cavorting in the rainforest, to the sublime landscape devoid
of figures. The latter group contains several works that helped
secure for Robinson a unique place within Australia’s
distinguished landscape painting tradition.
In April next year William Robinson will celebrate his 75th
birthday. To mark this significant event, the University will curate
a major exhibition of his work, to be shown jointly in the QUT
Art Museum and the William Robinson Gallery. A monograph
on the artist will also be published. Hinterland is an important
precursor to these celebratory events.
