1 Their Body Politics Stuart Glover , 2016 single work essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , July no. 53 2016; (p. 28-38)

'In late September 2015, Malcolm Turnbull made his first sporting appearance as Prime Minister at the Dally M Awards, the black-tie night for the working-class game. It should have been home turf. Turnbull is a long-time supporter of the Sydney Roosters – the closest to a silvertail club in the code, but really just the local rugby league team in the Eastern Suburbs where he grew up. But something went wrong for the Prime Minister; and News Ltd, Fairfax and SBS all settled on the word ‘awkward’ to describe his performance at the event.' (Introduction)

'Tony Abbott’s decision last December to invite Richard Flanagan up to the dais to jointly receive the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for fiction alongside the judges’ choice of Steven Carroll made for great comedy. Les Murray, one of the over-ruled judges, and some other literary folk, didn’t find much humour in it. But it was Flanagan, who has refused prizes before, who capped the evening by giving away his half-share of the $80,000 prize money to support asylum seekers. There were laughs all round as Flanagan poked Abbott right in his admiring eye.' (Author's introduction)

1 The Rise of Global Publishing and the Fall of the Dream of the Global Book : The Editing of Peter Carey Stuart Glover , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Publishing Research Quarterly , vol. 27 no. 1 2011; (p. 54-61) 'The article documents the editorial relationship between Peter Carey and his New York based editor for Knopf, Gary Fisketjon, who worked with Carey on his True History of the Kelly Gang. This account provides the basis for a discussion of how globalised publishing, while promising unity—a single text across all territories—has instead introduced a tension into the previously cohesive triad of author, editor, and the single authorized text. As Fisketjon's experience lays bare, major contemporary texts that are published in multiple editions in different global centers may well proceed through competing or at least parallel editing processes with different presses, different editors, and in different publishing territories. The authorized single edition, even of major literary texts, has been replaced by competing editions. The single edit and editor have been replaced by competing "servant[s] of the writer" (to use Fisketjon's phrase). Cohesion, while not quite giving way to disunity, gives way to multiplicity and plurality. The experience of the Kelly Gang book is cast against a longer narrative of Carey's interactions with editors including the University of Queensland Press (UQP) from the 1970s and Faber from the 1980s.

1 Queensland Literary Culture in the Long Decade After Joh : Institutional Development and Narratives of Change Stuart Glover , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Queensland Review , vol. 17 no. 2 2010; (p. 61-73) 'The apparent resuscitation of Queensland print and literary culture in the decade after the fall of Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen in 1987 and the National Party in 1989 can be seen to be the product of three factors: an over-statement of the dereliction of literary life in Queensland under Bjelke-Petersen, and perhaps a corresponding overstated case for its contemporary recovery; the effectiveness of government and institutional mechanisms of support; and the professional development and networking of writers and other print culture agents. Together, these factors have contributed to a transformation of the profile and scale of literary activity in Queensland and to a renegotiation of the place of Queensland literature in the national context.'

1 y separately published work icon Literature and Cultural Policy Studies Stuart Glover , Brisbane : 2006 Z1407652 2006 single work thesis This thesis revisits the historical relations of literary studies and cultural studies and the effect of these relations on the intersections of Australian cultural policy studies, cultural policy itself, and the institutions of literary production and circulation in Australia over the past fifteen years [since 1990]. Australian cultural policy studies' trajectory out of British cultural studies has contributed to the development of an Australian cultural policy studies that has a number of exclusions or biases which are examined in two stages. Firstly, the thesis examines the effects of cultural studies' constitution in the patricidal rejection of literary studies and, in some instances, the rejection of an interest in literary production itself. ... Secondly the thesis argues that there is an unmet case for a cultural policy studies which attends, not to policy texts, but to the processes of policy formation. ... In a case study of a failed attempt to develop a new Queensland cultural policy statement in 2000, the thesis examines how policy work or policy "churn" is productive in its own right, contributing to the organisation of government cultural resources and the governing role of culture, particularly cultural policy.

1 Case-study : Literature and the State Stuart Glover , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Paper Empires : A History of the Book in Australia 1946-2005 2006; (p. 165-173) ‘Australian governments in the period since 1946 have significantly sup-ported and shaped publishing and literary culture. By the end of the century, federal support included Public Lending Right, Book Bounty, book marketing programs, school library acquisition programs and marketing campaigns for books and book exporters.This was complemented by state government funding for literary organisations, publishing grants, and writers' grants and prizes. Motivated by a mix of social, economic, cultural and education policy goals, these direct and indirect measures helped shape the output, circulation and status of Australian literature.’(Introduction 165)
