[abstract]. Authors: Stanley, Liz Abstract: In this keynote address, Professor Liz Stanley sketches out some ideas about how to theorise and use the heuristic of ‘the epistolarium’. She shall explore how, in what ways, and also with what limitations, thinking about the epistolarity in terms of economy and exchange and Mauss’s conceptualisation of ‘the system of the gift’ can throw useful light on different aspects of the epistolary form and its changes across time and also its sub-forms. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2328/3100 Title: Judith Wright and Barbara Blackman – correspondence 1950-1970. [abstract]. Authors: Sheridan, Susan Margaret Abstract: In 2007 a volume of letters, "Portrait of a Friendship", was published, encompassing many of the letters exchanged between these two writers over the period 1950 to 2000 (the year of Wright’s death). I would like to examine this volume as a correspondence, at least over the period 1950-1970, when both women were bringing up a family as well as pursuing their own ambitions, both as writers and as activists. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2328/3099 Title: The Postcard: The Fragment. [abstract]. Authors: Prosser, Rosslyn Abstract: The personal communication written or scrawled on the postcard constitutes fragments of a story. The fragment exists within the whole story of the personal and representations of places and people. This paper will be a creative response to the material of the postcard as a memory archive. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
