1 Linking Digital Wayfaring and Creative Writing: True Fictions from Ethnographic Fieldwork Marsha Berry , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: New Writing , vol. 18 no. 2 2021; (p. 239-250)

'In this article, I explore how creative writing links to mobile media ethnographic practices. Through my digital ethnographies, I have found empirical evidence that socialising, art-making, and wayfaring can and do occur simultaneously in online and offline worlds. The more than textual, more than representational, material and corporeal experiences, and everyday processes are important to how we imagine and theorise art-making practices with mobile media. In this article, I pose the question: How can fiction techniques be used as a method to expose links between digital wayfaring and the creative writing practices? I explore this question through three fictionalised vignettes based on material from my ethnographies. These are grounded in a discussion of non-representational theory as a theoretical perspective to situate the everyday creative practices that go into mobile media art projects involving creative writing.' (Publication abstract)
1 Being There : Poetic Landscapes Marsha Berry , 2013 single work criticism
— Appears in: Coolabah , no. 11 2013; (p. 85-96) 'In early 2012, I was invited by Pilbara Writers group in Karratha to make a poetry map for the Pilbara region when they saw the Poetry 4 U website (http://poetry4U.org ) where poems are pinned to geographic locations. I visited the Pilbara June 17 - 23, 2012 to commence the poetry mapping project with members of the Pilbara Writers group. By walking with video when writers took me to their favourite places I was able to document visceral intersubjective experiences of these places, of being there together, so that I could empathically share the writers' sense of landscape. This paper discusses what happens when a hodological approach is taken to explore connections and flows between poetic expressions, places and landscapes.' (Author's abstract)

1 History and Postmemory in Contemporary Vietnamese Writing Catherine Cole , Marsha Berry , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: TEXT : Special Issue Website Series , April no. 10 2011; 'In this paper we argue that there are many ways in which history is embedded in a country's fiction—many of them offering questions rather than answers about a country's creative practices. In Vietnam it seems inevitable that the war against America and her allies would shape the nation's creative writing. But is this the case? And what of the ways in which later generations have reacted to the war? In Vietnam and Australia this shared history has played out differently, not least in a postmemory dialogue between a generation who remembers too much and a generation who remembers too little.'
