1 1 y separately published work icon Success Story - International Rights Sales of Australian-Authored Books : Main Report Jan Zwar , Paul Crosby , Airlie Lawson , Sunny Y. Shin , North Ryde : Macquarie University , 2021 23330464 2021 multi chapter work criticism essay 'Over many years Australian book publishers, literary agents and authors have reported rights sales success in major English language territories such as the USA, UK and Canada and translation markets including Germany, France, China and Taiwan to the industry’s Books+Publishing’s ‘Think Australian’ e-newsletter and to the Visiting International Publishers (VIPs) program run by the Australia Council for the Arts. Anecdotally, the international success of Australian-authored books has been acknowledged and celebrated within the industry. Despite the important commercial and cultural contribution of these rights sales and other forms of export, there has been and remains a lack of unified research that examines the patterns of growth and nature of rights sales in a systematic way.'

The Media Archives Project database, created by the Centre for Media History at Macquarie University, is a register of archives pertaining to the Australian media, including newspapers, magazines, radio, television, film and advertising. The MAP database focuses on private and lesser-known archives, held by companies, peak bodies, community groups and individuals.

The MAP database was transferred to the AustLit database in late 2016. Each archive record contains descriptive information of the archive, plus links to related online material. This is a limited dataset that does not claim to be comprehensive.

1 y separately published work icon Engaging With Liminal Spaces : Historiographic Metafiction in Young Adult Literature Amy Cross , Sydney : 2009 Z1774173 2009 single work thesis The study takes as its focus four recent young adult texts that incorporate the mode of historiographic metafiction both implicitly and explicitly through a variety of narrative strategies. The historiographic metafictive texts selected for this study problematise history and fiction in a range of ways. The mode functions as a device for examining the ideologies and tropes of young adult fiction, and specifically the discursive representation of history within this genre. Further, it allows an exploration of the fluidity of meaning by incorporating and problematising discourses of history and fiction, truth and reality, adolescence and adulthood. The analysis demonstrates that historiographic metafiction in young adult literature both strengthens and destabilises tenets of humanism, which results in an emphasis on liminal spaces.

1 y separately published work icon Loaded Hearts : Women Writing from the Margins in the 1970s, An Analysis and a Novel Adrienne Sallay , Australia : 2008 Z1907369 2008 single work thesis 'This project explores how Australian creative writing of the 1970s changed the way women's lives were represented, reflecting the shift in societal attitudes of the late twentieth century, leading to the emergence of the modern Australian feminist novel. Australian women's fiction of the 1970s also provides inspiration for the novel component of this project, Loaded Hearts, which explores women's subjectivity, their sexuality, notions of marriage and family, independence and agency.'

1 y separately published work icon The Aboriginal Language of Sydney: A Partial Reconstruction of the Indigenous Language of Sydney Based on the Notebooks of William Dawes of 1790-91, Informed by Other Records of the Sydney and Surrounding Languages to c.1905 Jeremy Macdonald Steele , Z1602140 2005 single work thesis 'Wara wara!' - 'go away' - the first indigenous words heard by Europeans at the time of the social upheaval that began in 1788, were part of the language spoken by the inhabitants around the shores of Port Jackson from time immemorial. Traces of this language, funtionally lost in two generations, remain in words such as 'dingo' and 'woomera' that entered the English language, and in placenames such as 'Cammeray' and 'Parramatta'. Various First Fleeters, and others, compiled limited wordlists in the vicinity of the harbour and further afield, and in the early 1900s the surveyor R.H. Mathews documented the remnants of the Dharug language. Only as recently as 1972 were the language notebooks of William Dawes, who was noted by Watkin Tench as having advanced his studies 'beyond the reach of competition', uncovered in a London university library. The jottings made by Dawes, who was learning as he went along, are incomplete and parts defy analysis. Nevertheless much of his work has been confirmed, clarified and corrected by reference to records of the surrounding languages, which have similar grammatical forms and substantial cognate vocabulary, and his verbatim sentences and model verbs have permitted a limited attempt at reconstructing the grammar.
