Spatial Linearity and Postcolonial Parody in Murray Bail's 'Holden's Performance', Marie Herbillon , single work criticism
In this essay, the author explores the European origins of the trope of linearity and on the role it plays in the imposition of cultural space upon geographic space, 'focusing all along on Bail's parody of the straight line and on the ontological implications thereof' (149).
(p. 149-164)
Rewriting Europe : Carey's 'Jack Maggs' and Malouf's 'Remembering Babylon', Cynthia Van Den Driesen , single work criticism
The article discusses Carey's Jack Maggs and David Malouf's Remembering Babylon 'as works that dismantle [the] traditional and hallowed image of the European Self and, in the process of that writing-back, to reverse the binaries constructed in the discourse of orientalism of the non-European world as the image of all that was dark and reprehensible' (p. 310).
(p. 307-322)
