Meanjin Vol 73, No 2
The June issue of Meanjin is one for taking stock and taking risks. Liam Pieper argues that we've well and truly lost the war on drugs, Suzy Freeman-Greene takes a look at our obsession with the weather, Fatima Measham welcomes us to Werribee and shows us a whole new side of a much-maligned suburb and Zora Sanders talks to Booker-winner Eleanor Catton about fate, history and the writing in the stars.
Meanjin Vol 73, No 1
The March 2014 issue of Meanjin is full of outsiders, revolutionaries and dissenters. We discover a lost archive of photographs of Charmian Clift on and George Johnson on Hydra in an essay by Paul Genoni and Tanya Dalziell, while James Douglas take a look at the unique powers of persuasion employed by journalist and writer Anna Krien. In the Meanjin Papers essay, Paul Daley brings us the shocking history of Australia's unidentified Indigenous remains and we have a rich mix of memoir, fiction and poetry in this special bumper issue.
Essays that Changed Australia
Since the 1940s, Meanjin essays have set the national cultural agenda. Arthur Phillips' idea of 'cultural cringe' has become a household word, instantly conveying Australians' sense of place in the world while expressing our frustrations and our ambitions - yet very few of us know it came from an essay first published in Meanjin. Over half a century later, Chelsea Watego's 2021 'Always bet on Black (power)' roars with the fire of a manifesto; Hilary Charlesworth's 1992 'A law of one's own?' challenges Australia's legal system with a formidable feminist ethic; Tim Rowse's 1978 'Heaven and a Hills Hoist' passionately defends suburbia; David Yencken's 1988 'Creative City' sparks a global urban planning movement with artists at the centre. This anthology brings togethers twenty impactful Meanjin essays for the first time. An introduction by editor Esther Anatolitis offers critical context and scrutiny, illustrating how profoundly Meanjin essays have changed Australia.
Conservation of Books
Conservation of Books is the highly anticipated reference work on global book structures and their conservation, offering the first modern, comprehensive overview on this subject. The volume takes an international approach to its subject. Written by over 70 specialists in conservation and conservation science based in 19 countries, its 26 chapters cover traditional book structures from around the world, the materials from which they are made and how they degrade, and how to preserve and conserve them. It also examines the theoretical underpinnings of conservation: what and how to treat, and the ethical, cultural, and economic implications of treatment. Technical drawings and photographs illu...
Meanjin Vol 72, No 4
Helen O'Neil takes us inside the development of Labor's long-awaited Cultural Policy, and the future of the policy under a new government. Rebecca Harkins-Cross brings us the first in a series on new media art in Australia with an essay looking at the revolutionary ways Indigenous Australian artists are using video. Jennifer Mills quits poetry and ponders the peculiar life of the self-declared poet while Rebecca Giggs takes us into the wide blue yonder in pursuit of a mysterious giant eyeball. Lesley Harding and artist Rebecca Mayo walk the Merri Creek wearing some very special garments and Hilary McPhee undertakes the fraught process of archiving the past. Journalist Jill Jolliffe contemplates her eventful visits to war-torn Angola in the early 1990s and Ellena Savage takes us to Bougainville and an uneasy adjustment to tropical living. There's new fiction from Briohny Doyle, Mireille Juchau and Anika Quayle and sparkling poetry from Eileen Chong, Elizabeth Lawso, Chris Mansell, Kate Middleton and many more.
The Sistrunk Families
Family origins are traced to Heinrich Süsstrunk (ca. 1601-ca. 1660) who married Anna Stücki in 1630. They lived in Hümlicken, Canton Zürich, Switzerland. One descendant, Heinrich Süsstrünk (1716-1762), and his wife, Ürsüla Ülry, came to South Carolina in 1744. Another cousin, also Heinrich, came to South Carolina in 1746. Descendants lived in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and elsewhere.
The Dunkelberger Family
In 1728, Clemens, Peter and Fredrick Dunkelberg/Dunckelnberg arrived at Philadelphia, went to Germantown, Pennsylvania and later settled in Windsor township. Descendants and relatives have scattered into almost every state in the United States and some have immigrated to Canada.
