Abstract:
As the schooner Toroa carried its only passenger, Conrad Martens, up the Brisbane River on 7 November 1851, he would have seen many places subsequently depicted in his art works, including the then recently erected large residences Newstead and Bulimba (both extant). Approaching the main settlement further upstream, the ship passed New Farm and North Brisbane on the right, and Bulimba and Kangaroo Point on the left, before finally berthing at South Brisbane. The most prominent landmark in Brisbane was a derelict windmill (extant) on a hill at North Brisbane overlooking the settlement. Martens' illustrations show us, through the artist's eye, Brisbane's appearance in late 1851. This, combined with other documentary evidence, enables us to paint our own mental picture of Brisbane at the time.

Abstract:
The Brisbane Powerhouse was reopened in 2000, an election year for the Brisbane City Council, by then Lord Mayor Councillor Jim Soorley. Built in a decommissioned power station, the ‘Centre for the Arts’ was one of the culminations of Soorley's $4 billion Urban Renewal Program (‘About Urban Renewal’). It was also a major — $22 million worth, to be precise — addition to the Brisbane arts scene (Buzacott: 11). It is of particular interest, then, that one of the highest profile events of the Brisbane Powerhouse's inaugural program was the first screening of the Brisbane Queer Film and Video Weekend (now the Brisbane Queer Film Festival or ‘BQFF’). Now in its eighth year, and still screened at the Brisbane Powerhouse, the BQFF continues to be Queensland's only regular public film festival dedicated to explicitly queer films. But at a time when queer film festivals around the world are under increasing pressure to disband, given claims that ‘queer’ is supposedly such an accepted part of mainstream media that separate events are superfluous, what role — if any — does the BQFF have in Brisbane's and Queensland's queer culture (see Rich 2006)?

Abstract:
Dr Gertrude Langer arrived quite by chance in Brisbane in 1939 as a refugee from Hitler's Europe. She was a young, elegant Austrian refugee with a PhD in art history from the University of Vienna. After arriving in Australia, Gertrude and her husband, Dr Karl Langer, had hoped to settle in Sydney, but Karl's work as an architect moved them on to Brisbane. Gertrude Langer would become an important figure in Brisbane's post-war art scene through her salon-style lectures, art criticism and work with the Australia Council. She strongly believed that the arts were an important part of a community, and for this reason became a champion for the cause of contemporary art in Brisbane.

Abstract:
Entering Brisbane's South Bank from the Victoria Bridge, we walk past the concrete 1980s Queensland Performing Arts Complex, the brick Queensland Conservatorium and the modern, glass-fronted ABC Broadcasting buildings, then past assorted cafes and pseudo-beaches until reaching the Ship Inn. Here, we enter an enclave of mid- to late-nineteenth-century architectural gems, surrounding and focusing on the small but tranquil South Brisbane Memorial Park (1923). Opposite the Ship Inn (1865), Cumbooquepa (1891) and South Brisbane Town Hall (1891–92), and adjoining the Maritime Museum (1881), at the eastern edge of South Bank Parklands stands a magnificent old building now known as the Griffith Film School. This building has been the cultural hub of South Brisbane for 130 years, and provides a stylish, heritage ‘bookend’ to today's South Bank Cultural and Educational Precinct.

Abstract:
Brisbane author Nick Earls holds a position of exceptional significance for a writer in his home town. After some 10 years in the literary limelight, Earls was chosen as the face of the city in a television and print media campaign for Brisbane tourism (the ‘It's happening’ campaign), suggesting that he and his work would be widely recognised, and his opinions respected — key reasons for choosing a celebrity to promote any product. Earls represents a new type of public role for writers, who often must cross boundaries of intellectual respectability and popular cultural or ‘celebrity’ appeal to succeed in the current media climate. Leading up to the Brisbane promotional campaign, Earls had a long association with the local press, which enabled him to work simultaneously as a serious author, comedian, boy-next-door and social commentator. His decision, in his early published novels, to make maximal, unapologetic use of Brisbane as a setting earned him the title of ‘Brisbane's favourite son’ (MacColl 1998). At times he has used this title to his advantage; at other times the press has made him work in an ambassadorial role for Brisbane even as the themes and scenes of his writing were changing. Earls has also had considerable international success, particularly with his first novel for adults, Zigzag Street. Using theories about the production of celebrities and close analysis of Earls' press coverage, this article examines the author as a text, looking at the interaction between Earls, his novels and the broader condition of the contemporary publishing and media industries for clues as to how Earls, over other Brisbane writers, found himself with the keys to the city.

Abstract:
Brisbane's World Expo '88 changed people's lives, and the memories of Expo '88 are revered more than 20 years on from the event itself. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the anniversary of this very special event with the people of Brisbane, and recreating the unique atmosphere and sense of wonder that Expo '88 created in Brisbane. (Malcolm Snow, South Bank Corporation CEO, in Hoey 2008a)World Expo ‘88, also widely known as ‘Expo '88’ and locally simply as ‘Expo’, was held in Brisbane from April to October 1988, as a key event of the national Bicentennial celebrations commemorating the 200 years of European settlement of Australia. Other major components of the Bicentennial year – such as the symbolic re-enactment of the voyage of the First Fleet that culminated in the Parade of Tall Ships sailing into Sydney Harbour on Australia Day – together with other significant national events such as the 1956 and 2000 Olympic Games, have generated historically focused interest, which has been manifested and disseminated in the usual way in articles, books and museum exhibitions. Brisbane's World Expo '88, however, appears to be one of the few Australian so-called ‘signature’ events that has also generated its own long-lived series of commemorative memorials and festivals.

These tendencies are precursors to an environmental, ‘anti-political’ consciousness that continues to play a role in the city and that contributes to the perception that Brisbane is ‘different.’

Abstract:
My interest in The Oasis developed from research I have been pursuing into cultural icons in Brisbane: how they are defined and how they develop. I would suggest the development of ‘iconic’ status for any site is a construction of shared memory and is very much tied to place and identity. Over the fifty years of its existence, The Oasis, in the suburb of Sunnybank, was intimately integrated into the social fabric of Brisbane. It held its place in the affections of Brisbanites and of the many southern visitors who came to enjoy our winter sun. In these terms The Oasis and its tropical gardens became one of Brisbane's icons and, within the terms of our conference theme, an exemplar of ‘Tropical pleasures’.

Abstract:
This thesis considers and critically analyses literary representations of what I have called “alternative masculinities” within a selection of texts by male writers from the turn of the millennium. The novels chosen for this analysis are Last Drinks by Andrew McGahan (2000), World of Chickens (2001) by Nick Earls and Sushi Central by Alasdair Duncan (2003). The work of R.W. Connell, Doreen Massey and Bruce Bennett will inform a framework blending theories of masculinities, spatiality theories and critical regionalism, providing the tools to conduct a reading of the spaces fictional representations of alternative masculinities engage with. Applying Connell’s hierarchy of masculinities (1995) I examine the emerging textual constructions of alternative masculinities that correspond with the changing cityscape of Brisbane. Within the above texts I argue there is a strong emphasis on the connections between identity and place. This is expressed through references to Brisbane’s social and historical identity and the gendered alignment of Brisbane spaces with particular masculinities.

Abstract:
This study asks ‘what is the Brisbane Sound, and what does it sound like?’ The Brisbane Sound refers to music made by a small group of post-punk bands hailing from Brisbane between 1978-1983, most notably The Go-Betweens. This research by Creative Works is the first scholarly account of the Brisbane Sound. It examines how the term has been constructed in the media over time. Then, the music of these bands is analysed to verify these claims. Finally, this data informs the production of five original songs that aim to sound like the Brisbane Sound.

Introduction -- Founding a colonial settler society with 'the blessing of nobleman and parson' -- Exporting gentry values: Brisbane's first Anglican bishop -- A clerical caste? A different kind of gentleman? Clergy and their wives -- In their place: being English and being Anglican in early Queensland -- Brisbane Anglicans: a socio-economic profile -- Women's business: domesticity and upholding the faith -- Men's business: the public face of the Church -- Beyond one man's power: Anglican parish life -- Establishing a synod for the diocese -- Conclusion.
The mid-nineteenth century was marked by a rapid expansion of the Church of England throughout the British Empire, much of the impetus coming from missionary societies and ecclesiastical and political elites in England. In particular, High Churchmen promoted the extension of the episcopate to provide the colonies with a complete Anglican polity, and in an effort to transmit to the colony something of the Anglican/English culture they valued. The means used were the Colonial Bishoprics Fund (CBF) and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG), both of which were supported by a Tory paternalist elite in England. This study concerns the foundation of the Diocese of Brisbane in 1859, which was a part of this expansion, and which was effected during the brief Tory administration of Lord Derby. It is unsurprising then, that the first Bishop of Brisbane, the Right Reverend E.W. Tufnell, came from the Tory High Church tradition. The clergy he took to the diocese were of a similar theological and social outlook.--The period from the proclamation of free settlement in the Moreton Bay District in 1842 to the departure of the bishop for retirement in England in 1874, was a period of rapid population growth, immigrants arriving mainly from Britain and Ireland. The policy of the imperial government was to try to balance the emigration from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales in proportion to their population and religious denomination. This meant that Anglicans were not as strongly represented in the colonial population as in England; emigrants from the other three countries being much less likely to be Anglicans. The bulk of those arriving in Queensland were working class or petit bourgeois, so consequently the socio-economic structure of Anglicanism in Queensland did not reflect that in England. Moreover, by the time the first Anglican bishop arrived in Brisbane, all state support for religious purposes was withdrawn. The Church of England in Queensland had to adapt to these significant differences of context.--Drawing on parish and diocesan records, the records of SPG, CBF and other organisations in England, personal documents (diaries and letters) and newspapers, this survey of Anglicanism in Brisbane diocese in the early colonial period, charts some of the ways Anglicans devised to create a distinctively Anglican community. The gendered roles of Anglican men and women; the various ways in which parishes came into being, were administered and financed; and the creation of a diocesan synod all bear testimony to the adaptability of Anglicans to their colonial context. Though the framework of this study is provided by the institutional church, diocesan records are sparse, and much of the content concerns the Anglican laity. This has provided an opportunity to explore heretofore neglected aspects of Anglicanism. It is a small beginning in the writing of a 'bottom-up' history of the Anglican Church in Australia.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse, in the broadest light, the very specific subject matter of the Brisbane Protests of 1965 to 1972. Additionally the thesis reflects on the limitations of the relevant social movement theorists in regard to understanding these Brisbane events in the light of general theory and historical analyses. The question that the thesis seeks to answer is how to provide a coherent account of the myriad of groups and protests that flourished in Brisbane in the period 1965 to 1972. These protesters’ relationship to global events, yet specificity within a context and diversity in their internal differences and their outcomes, both short- and long- term, prevent ready categorisation within theoretical understandings or inclusive historical analyses. The thesis finds important new historical detail set in contexts infrequently analysed in literature about protest activities. Using this deficit to assess the various strengths and weaknesses of several major social movement theorists, it articulates not only their separate and collective value but also the need for their supplementation by other general theory, as well as general historical and more localised geo-political perspectives. Analytically the thesis relies firstly on three social movement theorists, Tarrow, Melucci and Habermas, the further application of some general theory in Global Systems Theory and feminism. These other general insights prove of specific analytical relevance while they also point to necessarily more universal critiques of the social movement theories. The first analytical frame of the thesis comprises of these theories. Secondly through using the historical concept of post-totalitarianism, a second analytical frame contains an hypothesis about a re-awakened Romanticism tangential but related to this post-totalitarian influence. This historical explanation of post-totalitarianism operates as a ‘catch-all’ explanation of the important directions of social and political change affecting the international community in the Cold War era prior to and contemporaneous with the protests. While the new left’s contemporaneous links to the Brisbane protests appear important, these are far from exclusive given that several other, ultimately more historically important in hindsight movements such as the women’s movement have roots in the times, as do a plethora of other activities of the Brisbane Protests. These protests cannot readily fit the description of that of a local chapter of the new left. Instead the wider and more diverse incorporation of these events under radical Romantic post-totalitarianism proves valuable analytically. In addition, this Romantic form of post-totalitarianism captures the considerable ambiguity in the literature about the new left. Amenable to the understanding of both radical humanist practices and to degeneration from such ideals, of which the latter, in particular, is now pervasively represented in the scholarship as description of the fate of the new left, radical Romantic post-totalitarianism conceptually defines the range and complexity of the influences on the Brisbane Protests more adequately than the literature focused upon the international new left. The contradictory associations with on one hand, ideological rigidity and terrorism described in this thesis as the ‘official’ new left and on the other hand post-totalitarianism and other aspects of Romanticism (other than terrorist or just insurrectionary association) alone suggest the new left’s problematic status as a general explanation of the Brisbane Protests. Radical post-totalitarian Romanticism incorporates an international influence linked to post-war and Cold War consciousness and new emerging critiques of the global status quo as well as the ambiguity of manifestations of movements connected to this Western based but also third-world influenced consciousness. These influences and their potentials will be explored within the post-war world although these are also derivative of early streams of reflection about, particularly, industrial societies. At the same time the connection of the women’s and the Indigenous movements to the new left has an analytic framework in which differences and similarities can benefit from new perspectives. The thesis holds that the immediate context and movement-relevant clashes over the understanding of and changes in the dynamics of the Cold War period rest on the notional division of protagonists for change into post-totalitarians and radical Romantic post-totalitarians. The former view represents supporters and sometime-allies; the latter that of the often newer in formation, very loosely organised protesters. This clash provides a schematic overview, however social movement analyses, while of critical value, must then be further related to the idiosyncratic national formation of countries like Australia. Thirdly, the analysis includes reconstructions of various interpretations of the specifically fragile character of the Australian nation identity beyond its core-peripherality in its subsumption of culture and politics in orientations to national survival through alliance and the absence of ideological discourse and division. Its general culture rests on a patriarchal, materialistic utilitarianism. Queensland’s partly idiosyncratic position within this national context is the final focus of this third frame. Beyond the Janus-face of coreperipherality represented by these national and state jurisdictions the thesis is examines further specificity at the State level also. While the thesis concludes that these three frames are necessary components of the explanation of the civil liberties, anti-war, anti-suburban including cultural production, Romantic university, gender and race movements, it finds that these social movements of the Brisbane Protests must be described, beyond their relationship, which is partial and complex, to theories of Western social movement formation, as discrete historical formations of radical Romantic post-totalitarianism. Yet this perspective also requires supplementation by framing based upon recognition of Australia’s semi-peripheral status and materialistic utilitarianism, which contribute to a protester-initiated cultural and political national identity crisis rather than just a political crisis. As well this frame relies on the assertion that Queensland’s debilitated public sphere, in the light of movements elsewhere, proved conducive to a dominant role for university-based people in initiating and broadening the disputes with the use of immanent critique, and culturally rich and inclusive outlooks in theoretical and organisational practices. In various alliances including between university groups, few workers, and the deeply culturally stratified Indigenous and women, both of whose movements eventually proved the most efficacious while fracturing the illusion that this was a united effort without deep differences the radical Romantic posttotalitarians made use of resources, including pre-formed and somewhat idiosyncratic domestic and urban spaces. All these factors coalesced to produce partly generation reliant changes in oppressive conditions. Therefore the thesis argues that general theory and historical analyses are both critical to the explanation and provide a sufficiently rich tapestry of generality and exception to provide an analytic model. Despite the insights gained from Tarrow’s view of political processes, Melucci’s view of experimental spaces, identity and sites of conflict in new types of training and Habermas’ sense of the breadth of rationalising processes, operating in the background yet influential on the outcomes of social movements, the theoretical conclusion points to problems with some of their terminology like that of ‘democracy’, ‘solidarity’, ‘post-industrial’, ‘new’ or ‘and offensive’ and ‘lifeworld and system’. It finds, rather, that semi-peripheral countries require different understandings pitched variously at formations of national identity, and that there are analytical problems, when using their insights, in understanding ‘democracies’ exhibiting very truncated and deformed public spheres. The thesis argues for a concept of cultural stratification to deal with the particular features, status and character of movements of the racial and gender colonies. It finds that movements are gendered in regard to solidarity as well as ‘interests’. Further it argues the Indigenous have a distinct location within the process of modernisation due to their experiences of both sporadic inclusion and cultural and physical genocide. It indicates that there are significant potentials for protest in circumstances where there is a contradictory duality within a single nation, of general modernising rationalisations and, within this, oppressive ‘pockets’ of legal frameworks, political systems and cultural norms. Social movements have discrete places in historical and sociological processes. The analysis of these requires further recognition of the complexity of social change happening through and within them than is afforded by Tarrow, Melucci and Habermas. Much as their contributions are of great value, Global Systems Theory, and feminism suggest the limitations of these social movement theories at the general level, while historical analyses suggest more specific limitations in understanding the case of the Brisbane Protests as part of, particularly, Western post -war movements.

Abstract:
Recent statistical information suggests that the numbers of homeless women in Australia are growing. Due to the increase of female homelessness, the Department of Housing, Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (2008) published a White Paper where they emphasise two main aims: first, to halve homelessness by 2020, and second to offer supported accommodation to all rough sleepers who need it. For this to be achieved, the issues homeless women experience need to be explored and addressed. Little is known about the experiences of, and the meanings attached to, homelessness for women. While there has been an increase in the research undertaken in the field of homelessness in recent years, these examinations not only lack a qualitative dimension, they also tend to be ‘gender-blind’. This thesis, through the analysis of ethnographic data, explores the role of gender and space in the lives of homeless women in Brisbane, Australia. The research employed a grounded theory approach and was guided by the theoretical considerations of gender relations, gender identity and gendered spatiality. This thesis gives voice to the many homeless women of Brisbane. The research upon which the thesis is based involved over ten months of intensive fieldwork on the streets of Brisbane. Data were generated through life history interviews and observation and participation in the field. The findings suggest that, for homeless women (whose biographies include stories of previously abusive home lives and disadvantage) the notion of ‘being’ homeless encompasses much more than the risky reality of life on the street.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the fundamental social, cultural, demographic, economic and political changes that precipitated and encouraged the first significant wave of multiple-occupancy dwelling in Brisbane: the residential flats of the interwar period of the twentieth century. Brisbane’s earliest ‘flats’ had emerged by the 1910s, the product of converting large, obsolete nineteenth-century residences into multiple dwellings. Often not fully self-contained, they differed only marginally from the traditional rooming-house, and were widely considered as a short-term expedient in the face of a severe housing shortage. In the 1920s Brisbane residents were introduced to the purpose-designed, modern urban flat. Acceptance was gradual, but by the second half of the 1930s, new flat construction in Brisbane was booming. The emergence of the purpose-built flat represented, physically and culturally, the city’s introduction to a distinctively twentieth century, modern lifestyle. The shift to flat-living created: vigorous community debate over the fear of slum creation; formal responses to these concerns in the form of local ordinances controlling the construction and licensing of flat buildings; and substantial change to the character of inner-suburban Brisbane. Defining, accounting for, deriving meaning from, and exploring the significance of, the fashion for flat-dwelling in interwar Brisbane – in particular the popularity of the purpose-designed, purpose-built blocks of flats – are the objectives of this research. The fashion for living in flats in Brisbane is considered within three broad frameworks: the continuity of the urban experience across time and place; the democratisation of modernity and notions of what it meant to be ‘modern’ in Brisbane in the 1920s and 1930s; and the cultural legacy. In pursuing these objectives the study considers contemporary debates about the nature of urban living and the need for town planning initiatives in Queensland; the inter-relationship between the compact flat and the lifestyle it generated; generic profiles of those who occupied and invested in purpose-built flat developments; interwar controls (overt and covert) on new flat construction; and the resultant environmental impact in terms of location, form, scale, materials and neighbourhood character. In conclusion, the cultural value of Brisbane’s interwar flats as a distinctive built form is addressed.

Abstract:
Maximising cross ventilation is a low energy method of naturally ventilating and providing heating and cooling to deep plan spaces. Significant reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases can be achieved through minimising the use of mechanical systems in regions with climatic conditions that support the use of natural ventilation. Arup has provided input into the design of a louvered facade for the control of external noise for Brisbane Domestic Airport. A full scale prototype facade was constructed and noise transmission loss measurements were undertaken. The results indicate that significant noise reduction can be achieved to enable compliance with the internal noise limits for airport terminals, whilst using natural ventilation. The findings from this research will directly benefit building designers and innovators in the pursuit of achieving sustainable building design.
