Works about this Work

y separately published work icon Narrative Worlds and the Texture of Time : A Social-Semiotic Perspective Rosemary Huisman , London : Routledge , 2022 24954299 2022 multi chapter work criticism

'This book brings together a model of time and a model of language to generate a new model of narrative, where different stories with different temporalities and non-chronological modes of sequence can tell of different worlds of human – and non-human – experience, woven together (the ‘texture of time’) in the one narrative. The work of Gerald Edelman on consciousness, J.T. Fraser on time, and M.A.K. Halliday on language is introduced; the categories of systemic functional linguistics are used for detailed analysis of English narrative texts from different literary periods. A summary chapter gives an overview of previous narrative studies and theories, with extensive references. Chapters on ‘temporalization’ and ‘spatialization’ of language contrast the importance of time in narrative texts with the effect of ‘grammatical metaphor’, as described by M.A.K. Halliday, for scientific discourse. Chapters on prose fiction, poetry and the texts of digital culture chart changes in the ‘texture of time’ with changes in the social context: ‘narrative as social semiotic’.'

Who's Afraid of Poetic Invention? Anthologising Australian Poetry in the Twenty-First Century A. J. Carruthers , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , vol. 17 no. 2 2018;

'There has been a rich history of anthologising Australian poetry this far into the twenty-first century. This article claims that contemporary poetics, with a renewed focus on the recoprocal relation between cultural and linguistic inquiry, can rediscover alternative ways of reading the history of Australian avant-garde, inventive and experimental work. Considering several key anthologies published after the turn of last century, the article provides readings of both the frameworks the anthology-makers provide and the poems themselves, claiming that mark, trace and lexical segmentivities can already be read as social. It then proposes a new possibility for an experimental anthology that might bring these facets into lived praxis: the chrestomathy.' (Publication abstract)

— Review of Calyx : 30 Contemporary Australian Poets 2000 anthology poetry

'The subtitle of this anthology is slightly misleading in that it includes only poets who began to be published widely in the 1990s. One thing that Calyx obviously demonstrates, therefore, is the vibrancy of recent Australian poetry, the breadth and depth of recent talent and the considerable publishing opportunities which exist for new writers. The assurance and openness of much of the work reflects a sure sense of community and audience which it would be hard to find elsewhere. Calyx is further confirmation that Australian poetry has grown to worldwide prominence.' (Introduction)
