Tending to Stories in Feminist Theologies
Tending to Stories in Feminist Theologies is interested in the place of story-tellers in communities of hope. Where some theologies wrestle for clarity of definition, feminist and other theologies of liberation begin from experience and tend towards story as a vehicle for speaking of the Divine. Ambiguity and precision both find their place. This collection embraces different materials to explore the place of stories and narrative within feminist theology, to explore how meaning ‘happens’, to seek justice, and to forge compassion. As for theology, so too with form. This volume does not just discuss but actively demonstrates a variety of ways in which stories can be heard and held. Between and within chapters, the authors weave together artwork, literature, creative non-fiction, and poetic form with critically informed and academic exposition to invite reflection on the place of story in creating solidarity and enabling community. The book contributes to scholarly conversations on feminist theological method, on the relationship between the arts and theology, and on the dialogue between secular and sacred in Australasia and elsewhere.
Representing Poverty and Precarity in a Postcolonial World
Poverty and precarity are among the most pressing social issues of today and have become a significant thematic focus and analytical tool in the humanities in the last two decades. This volume brings together an international group of scholars who investigate conceptualisations of poverty and precarity from the perspective of literary and cultural studies as well as linguistics. Analysing literature, visual arts and news media from across the postcolonial world, they aim at exploring the frameworks of representation that impact affective and ethical responses to disenfranchised groups and precarious subjects. Case studies focus on intersections between precarity and race, class, and gender, institutional frameworks of publishing, environmental precarity, and the framing of refugees and migrants as precarious subjects. Contributors: Clelia Clini, Geoffrey V. Davis, Dorothee Klein, Sue Kossew, Maryam Mirza, Anna Lienen, Julia Hoydis, Susan Nalugwa Kiguli, Sule Emmanuel Egya, Malcolm Sen, Jan Rupp, J.U. Jacobs, Julian Wacker, Andreas Musolff, Janet M. Wilson

Mabos Cultural Legacy
More than any other event in Australia’s legal, political and cultural history, the High Court of Australia’s 1992 Mabo decision challenged previous ways of thinking about land, identity, belonging, the nation and history. Now, more than a quarter of a century after Mabo, this book examines the broader impacts of this landmark legal decision on various forms of Australian culture and cultural practice. How is Australia’s post-Mabo imaginary being reflected, refracted and articulated in contemporary film, fiction, poetry, biography and other forms of cultural expression? To what extent has the discussion and practice of history, linguistics, anthropology and other branches of the humani...
Race, Nation and Cultural Power in Film Adaptation
In Race, Nation and Cultural Power in Film Adaptation, Roberts undertakes the first full-length study of postcolonial, settler-colonial and Indigenous film adaptation, encompassing literary and cinematic texts from Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, Indian, British, and US cultures. A necessary rethinking of adaptation in the context of race and nation, this book interrogates adaptation studies' rejection of 'fidelity criticism' to consider the ethics and aesthetics of translating narratives from literature to cinema and across national borders for circulation in the global cultural marketplace. In this way, Roberts also traces the circulation of cultural power through these adaptations as they move into new contexts and find new audiences, often at a considerable geographical remove from the production of the source material. Further, this book assesses the impact of national and transnational industrial contexts of cultural production on the film adaptations themselves.
