John Henry Newman: Plumbing Some Hidden Depths in His Conversion to Catholicism

David Birch

Blood is Thicker than Water: family drama, self-representation, and the construction of authenticity

Jodi Gallagher
It was apparently once said that the only times the name of a woman should appear in a newspaper were when she was born, when she gave birth, and when she died. To appear at other times, and for other reasons was to make a spectacle of oneself.

Mark Oliphant’s Adventures in Atomic Wonderland

Kathryn Keeble
Deakin University
Australian physicist Mark Oliphant came to hold two oppositional views, both pro and anti nuclear weapons research. This, together with the dimensions of his ‘larger than life’ personality, impacted on his scientific reputation in the fall-out of Australia’s ‘McCarthyism’.

Melbourne’s Hidden Waterways: Revealing Williams Creek

Janet McGaw & Cliff Chang
University of Melbourne
The first century Roman scholar, Vitruvius, argued that the City is a material and spatial manifestation of the culture, politics and economics of its citizens.

Since the formation of the first national parks in the late nineteenth century, the governments of Australia have promoted the concept of stewardship as the State’s role in environmental management.

Migrants’ Untold Stories

Eric Tinsay Valles
National University of Singapore High School
Migrants are grotesque characters in the sense that they are caught in hybridity, cultural mixing or what Dirlik (1997 cited in Mendoza, 2002, p. 197) calls “in-betweenness.”

Kevin Todd
University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
A chance encounter led Irish artist, Kevin Todd to research and develop an acoustic sculpture project to commemorate transportation from Ireland to Australia and in particular the convict ship Neva, which sank off King Island in May 1835 while en-route from Cork to Sydney.

Sonic trickery in swarming play: Football’s dangerous fun

Dr Margaret Meran Trail
Victoria University
Inspired by a recent convergence in sound/art with debates in cultural studies about crowds, swarms and networks, this paper considers how sound works in the service of trickery, then how such sonic trickery flourishes in forms of swarming play.

A Tilted Tale: How the Sydney Opera House got its seats

Anne Watson
University of Sydney
Long considered irredeemably flawed, the post-Utzon history of the Sydney Opera House has been largely neglected by historians. Utzon’s successor, Peter Hall, inherited a magnificent shell but a huge dilemma – how to reconcile a changed brief for the uses of the building.

Fractured Identities: Superseding the Past with the Present

Samantha Young
Deakin University
Stories of the past, constructed by individuals, influence and shape an understanding of self in the present. This article deals with a fracture that can occur when new stories supplant traditional notions of identity, or when the immediate past does not relate or cohere to the present moment.

The essays in this issue of Double Dialogues deal with stories of public significance, revealing that what is not always self-evident.

Whether analysing audiences in theatre; the history of hidden waterways; the theatrical machinations behind the completion of the opera house; the unsavory facts about migrations; novel perspectives on environmental ethics, or biographical revelations about a scientist or religious leader, these essays alert us to the importance of exposing the whole story and remind us that frequently in the most unassuming there exists a novel tale to tell.
