Australia and the Great War: Identity, Memory and Mythology is a multi-disciplinary collection of essays exploring the complex relationship that existed, and exists, between the Great War, the British Empire, and Australia. These thematically diverse studies have been selected to help the modern reader come to terms with what that three-way relationship was, and has subsequently become, in the ten decades since August 1914. Interconnections in scholarship between war, identity, history, gender, propaganda, economics and nationalism are teased out, then presented alongside more oblique perspectives that escort the reader from the Australian wheat farm of a century ago to the exhibition of contemporary art in today’s troubled Middle East. Necessarily, the book also engages in the debate concerning the creation and subsequent [mis]use of histories, while touching upon the necessity and nature of both remembering and forgetting war.

“Remembering with advantages”: The memory of the Great War in Australia2015 •
Academic interest in Australia's heritage field has developed primarily around the ways its subject has been used to support dominant – national – interests. Understandings of heritage, however, are increasingly shaped by developments occurring in other nation-states, as well as those occurring at the international level. This paper thus considers the changing nature of Australian notions of heritage within the context of the 'transnational turn'. It does so in two ways. First, the paper traces talk of transnationalism within heritage studies at a general level, considering especially theorizations around a materialist understanding of memory. Second, it considers what new representations of the past such a theorization might call forth in the Australian context. As a point of illustration, the paper focuses on the specific case of Australian war memories and their articulation within the heritage field.

Lest You Forget: memory and Australian nationalism in a global era2014 •
How can we can explain the popularity of Anzac in contemporary Australia? In this chapter I argue that the resurgence of Anzac, commonly held to have occurred in the past twenty years, is related to the need to find a new national narrative in an Australia transitioning from the post-Federation Australian settlement' to a new, global era.
My aim here is to suggest connections between war and masculinity in the elaboration of Australian civic identity. The linkage between the violence of war and masculinity is almost too obvious to belabour. Men fight (or have fought) wars. Or so it appears. From here, it seems a short step to conjecturing a love of violence in men, a lust for destruction that finds one of its most important expressions in armed combat. In this chapter, however, I want to challenge this notion that a male love of violence and destruction lies at the basis of war. I argue that war is indeed a romance, but a civic romance conducted among men, one which constitutes women as audience or chorus to its drama. I shall argue this in relation to the formation of Australian civic identity.
