Interview with Fay Zwicky (1995), John Kinsella , single work interview

Author's note: This interview with Fay Zwicky was conducted at Fay's house in Calaremont in 1995. I would not ask Fay the same questions 'now' as I did 'then' - 1995 is indeed a long time ago, as much as 1981 was [] for Fay in 1995!

Literature, Resistance, and First Nations Futures : Storytelling from an Australian Indigenous Women’s Standpoint in the Twenty-first Century and Beyond, Ambelin Kwaymullina , single work criticism

'Narrative has long played a significant role in the rich First Nations
cultures of the earth, including the culture of my people, the Palyku. But in
the wake of colonialism, storytelling from an Indigenous standpoint can
be a complex task. This paper explores Indigenous standpoint theory and
examines the considerations and contexts that affect my work as a First
Nations storyteller who writes speculative fiction stories for young adults.'

Bilingualism and Cultural Translation : On the Dilemma of Migration in Ouyang Yu's 'The English Class', Beibei Chen , single work criticism

'This essay elaborates on Ouyang Yu's novel The English Class (2010) from the perspective of bilingualism, and demonstrates how this text tackles the dilemma of Chinese migrants as they face choices in language and identity. In the context of a mobilised world of migration, diaspora and globalisation, forms of memory and perceptions of language are dramatically changed. Both language and memory cross borders in the process of migration.' (Introduction)
