1 Dark Heart of the Island : The Kettering Incident's Tasmanian Gothic Fairytale Emily Bullock , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Metro Magazine , Summer vol. 191 no. 2017; (p. 42-47) Set against the lush, mountainous landscapes of Australia's island state, and with a narrative that highlights how a menacing past can inexorably intrude on the present, Foxtel's The Kettering Incident has all the hallmarks of the Tasmanian gothic genre. Beyond this, the series appropriates science fiction elements to convey a powerful message about the struggle between commercial self-interest and environmental preservation, writes Emily Bullock.

1 Rumblings from Australia's Deep South : Tasmanian Gothic On-Screen Emily Bullock , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Studies in Australasian Cinema , 6 April vol. 5 no. 1 2011; (p. 71-80) 'This article examines the current cinematic attention to Tasmania and its stories, with particular attention paid to the Gothic mode. 'Tasmanian Gothic' has become a by-word for the unsettling combination of Tasmania's colonial histories and its harsh landscapes in literature, but its cinematic counterpart has virtually been ignored. It is suggested that Tasmania is experiencing a renaissance on the big screen and it is the Gothic that appears to be the most dominant mode through which it is pictured. The article then charts a history of local Tasmanian Gothic cinematic production, a hybrid vision that tends towards a combination of stylistic, thematic, historical and geographic elements. Tasmanian Gothic cinema refers not simply to productions by Tasmanian film-makers, but to the broader on-screen representation of the island, its culture and histories by a range of local, interstate and international crews. As this article suggests, Gothic cinematic representations of Tasmania are yoked by a number of persistent concerns that act in dialogue with the unique cultural and geographic positioning of Australia's only island state.' (Author's abstract)
1 A Trip to New Norfolk (In Memoriam) Emily Bullock , 2011 single work essay
— Appears in: Island , Spring no. 126 2011; (p. 119-125)
1 Re-Writing Suburbia Emily Bullock , 2002 single work criticism
— Appears in: M/C Journal , May vol. 5 no. 2 2002; 'In Re-writing Suburbia, Emily Bullock brings that often rejected space to bear on considerations of the urban. Tying the suburban to dreams of home ownership and to dreams of nationness, Bullock finds in Suneeta Peres da Costa's recent novel Homework a textual space that subverts the suburban Australian dream without re-invigorating the urban-suburban binary.' [From 'Editorial: The Issue of the Urban,' by Laurie Johnson and Shelley Kulperger, which opens this issue of M/C Journal]
