| Description | The first issue of JEASA in 2017 presents the following content: In her article “Matriduxy?: Tracing Colonial Adumbration in Australian Womanhood via a Psychoanalytical Reading of Christina Stead’s The Man Who Loved Children,” Theresa Holtby investigates the notion of matriduxy (the alleged dominance of women in Australian families), including its mixed reception by Australian feminist critics, in relation to expressions of imperialist masochistic ideology in fiction, namely in Stead’s novel. Rebecca Johinke, in “Nick Cave’s The Death of Bunny Munro: Misogynistic Trash, Scatological Rhetoric, or an Ode to Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto?”, examines the self-proclaimed (and seemingly unlikely) inspiration of Cave’s text in American radical feminist Valerie Solanas’ manifesto. Éva Forintos provides an analysis of written mixed-language discourse in her article “The Communicative Aspect of New Linguistic Discourse—a Case Study of Language Alternation in Multilingual Written Texts”. In “Heading South: An Embodied Literary History of the Cape to Cape Track and the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Region of South-west Australia”, John Charles Ryan provides a creative as well as theoretical rendering of his trekking experience in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste region. Finally, Karen Lamb reviews for JEASA the latest scholarly book-length study of Thea Astley’s oeuvre in The Fiction of Thea Astley published by Susan Sheridan in 2016 in Cambria Press. |
