AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'When the annual symposium of the Popular Culture Research Centre (Auckland University of Technology) was held virtually in July 2020 – from which many of the articles in this issue came – we did not imagine that, when we were editing these pieces more than a year later, the world would not only still be in the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that the locations from which we were working as editors would again be in lockdown from new outbreaks. At a time of such unprecedented experiences, the consideration of popular culture has proven to be even more important in making sense of the world.'(Lorna Piatti-Farnell and Donna Lee Brian : Editorial introduction)

‘A Very Very Great Part of Our Life’ : Storytelling about the Richmond River,
single work
criticism
(p. 7-19)
'Acts of remembering a river may have a performative function in environmental history and debates around human impact and waterways. The process of remembering and search for meaning are shaped in the present moment when the Richmond is one of the most degraded river systems on the east coast of Australia. Imbued with sentimentality, however, residents speak to the fundamental importance of the river to their lives as they were growing up in and around Lismore. Such histories may provide context for understanding contemporary affective responses to rivers and how emotion shapes our relationships with nature more broadly.' (Publication abstract)
