Angela Giblin - musician and teacher
No full textAngela Ann Giblin was born in Sydney in 1948, to parents Barbara and Hugh (solicitor). Her brother David, born 18 months later, would go on to become a businessman. Angela began her schooling at Loquat Valley School, Bayview, near Pittwater, Sydney, then moved to Ascham School. Kenneth Robins was her music master at Ascham, and his choir, and score-reading classes, were inspirational for Angela. At age 14, Angela’s family moved to Bowral, where nearby at Mittagong Angela studied at Frensham School. There she studied piano with Ian Cooper, and clarinet with Ann Thompson; she also studied with Norma (Bobbie) Williams, teacher and accompanist. Angela was introduced by them to what would later become her instrument – her singing voice. She remained in touch with these mentors and teachers over many years.
In 1971 Angela completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree at Sydney University, and in 1972 she was introduced to performance, as Messagera in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, in a production by the Sydney University Musical Society, conducted by Peter Seymour. Receiving warm praise from Roger Covell, the doyen of Sydney music critics, a career in music became a firm possibility. In 1973 Angela enrolled for a Diploma of Opera at the NSW Conservatorium of Music, and in 1974 auditioned for and was invited to join the Opera Studio of the Australian Opera, as the company's first Trainee Principal. Putting her diploma studies on hold, Angela was soon promoted to Principal, singing a number of solo roles with the company, and working with conductors and directors such as Richard Bonynge, Edward Downes, John Cox, and John Copley. She also performed with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Willem van Otterloo

C21st RECENT HISTORY, 2016
No full textAn artist’s book comprising the artwork, documentation and conference papers of 5 collaborative projects and exhibitions by Milly Thompson and Alison Jones between 2012-16. The project rethinks the conditions of art through feminism, showing off, distinction*, luxury, glamour and ‘being hot’. It is a hand-assembled, riso and digital print book with fold-out inserts, posters ephemera etc.
C21st Recent History makes an original contribution to current understanding of gender and power in the field of art through its exploration of dialogical and opposing positions of the woman artist. It identifies and occupies a series of interrelated positions available to female artists at the start of the C21st, juggling feminism, neo-liberalism, individualism, gender power, hypocrisy, ambition, fashion and embodiment. The project acknowledges that there are many feminisms which range the political spectrum, and builds on current knowledge by opening up the terrain of feminist practice across
• A Marxist critique of commodity culture
• Institutional critique
• Individual desire
• critique of the neoliberal subject
• within the context of affective labour in the artworld
The research matters to art theorists and practitioners in the field of non-cis male art because it connects a number of previously distinct positions in relation to the creation, distribution and dissemination of art and ideas within the artworld.
The research collaborates with canonical feminist artists Rosler, Meckseper, Wermers whose works focus on a critique of commodity aesthetics. The artist book form is integral to the research being a desirable highly tactile and sexualised limited edition comprising all the documentation, polemical texts, posters, press releases as well as advertisements for the artists.
Through precise juxtapositions of artistic subjectivity with self promotion, affective labour and the art market, and the politics of feminism and the politics of post feminism, C21st Recent History interrogates the ideologies of the contemporary art world and its markets.
The various strands of the research/exhibition/projects included are:
• The exhibition Martha Rosler Reads Vogue (2010), setting feminism against post-feminism, worthiness intermingled with the guilty fandom of glamour in culture and the art world. Artists: Alison Jones, Martha Rosler, Milly Thompson
• The exhibition Evasion (2012) perfomed opposition nestling in co-dependency as a trope. Artists: Alison Jones, Josephine Meckseper, Martha Rosler, Milly Thompson, Nicole Wermers
• Thompson and Jones’ gallery performance Evasionista (2012) and public billboard C21st Art Worker (2013/16) enacted the feminine labour of the gallery assistant through which she activates the cultural context for the objects on display.
• The magazine Vuoto elides artisic integrity and self-promotion with an editorial by Nina Power. Artists: Alison Jones, Josephine Meckseper, Martha Rosler, Milly Thompson, Nicole Wermers
• An invited panel of academics addressed the ideas proposed in Evasion; the papers are reproduced in C21st RECENT HISTORY. Papers from Nicholas Cullinan, Mark Harris, Ian Hunt, Angela McRobbie and Monika Szewczyk
• Michael Archer did an introductory talk at the book launch.
C21st Recent History is held in many libraries, including the Feminist Art Library in Goldsmiths. It was included alongside 'VUOTO in the exhibition 'THE GEO POLITICS OF MONETIZED AIRSPACE — Come Fly with Me, I Meet You by the Airside Gucci Concession at 4, Fox Fur Hat', at Midway Contemporary, Minnesota, in 2017

Journey towards the mother : myth, origins and the daughter's desire in the fiction of Angela Carter
No full textThis study examines Angela Carter’s demythologising of origin myths and will
investigate the extent to which her fictions offer viable alternatives that allow for
productive representations of women and gender relations outside patriarchal paradigms.
In the first half of the thesis (Chapters 1-3), I will primarily focus on how several of
Carter’s earlier texts deconstruct existing mythical spaces, particularly the biblical
creation story in Genesis. The Genesis myth is central to socio-historical constructions of
gendered identities, and in itself, central to Carter’s imagination. She repeatedly returns
to this myth in her challenging of the ways in which patriarchal narratives construct
violent relations between self and other, specifically where ‘woman’ is situated as the
repressed other of male desires and fears. Alongside her demythologising of Genesis,
Carter deconstructs Freudian myths of sexual maturation, exposing where these also set
up a relationship of antagonism or enmity between the sexes. Although Chapter One will
explore how Carter attempts to revise these origin myths from a positive stance, Two and
Three will focus on the inherent difficulties faced by the female subject in her struggle
against patriarchal myths and their violent oppression of female autonomy. The second
half of the thesis (Chapters 4-6) will shift to an investigation of how Carter’s later texts
set up both possibilities and challenges for women when attempting to construct their
own narratives of origin. Through her problematising of matriarchal myths and feminist
fantasies of self-creation, Carter emphasises the need for confronting limitations rather
than celebrating transgressions as entirely liberating. The thesis will conclude, however,
with an examination of where Carter’s own attempts at remythologising opens up an
alternative space, or ‘elsewhere’, of feminine desires that allows for a refiguring of the
female subject as well as more reciprocal relations between the sexes

Cruzando olhares: estabelecendo diálogos entre E. P. Thompson e Angela Davis
No full textThe following paper intends to establish a dialogue between the works of the Marxist historian E.P. Thompson and the philosopher and black activist Angela Davis. It is a preliminary effort that, although it has some hardships in creating channels of communication between such different works, it can discusses some categories such as experience, social relations, exploitation, oppression and alienation, from debates based upon texts and works written by authors close to Davis and Thompson. In this way, we hope that this paper can contribute to a much broader debate around what the Social History of Labor may gain when we have a more sensitive way of looking to the different social relations of dominance and resistance in capitalism.O presente artigo propõe um diálogo entre a obra do historiador marxista E. P. Thompson e da filósofa e militante negra americana, Angela Davis. Trata-se de um esforço preliminar que, não obstante as dificuldades em criar canais de diálogos entre obras tão distintas, propõe discutir categorias como experiência, relações sociais, exploração, opressão e alienação a partir de debates fundamentados em textos de autores ligados tanto a Davis quanto a Thompson. Dessa forma, espera-se com isso contribuir para um debate mais amplo sobre os ganhos que a História Social do Trabalho pode ter a partir de um olhar mais sensível para as diferentes relações sociais de dominação e resistência no capitalismo

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship
