A Warm Meal and Kisses Too
In: Feminist media histories, Band 8, Heft 4, S. 55-84
ISSN: 2373-7492
Awareness of computers and computation rose considerably in the United States between 1939 and 1969. Press attention and public demonstrations showcased early robots and the push-button kitchen as two approachable yet fantastical examples of how computing processes might be applied to social life. Media coverage was hyperbolic and sensational, but also cautiously enthusiastic, skeptical, and sometimes dismissive. Public displays and print media consistently engaged signifiers of white, middle-class womanhood during the multidecade era when computers went from calculating machines to technologies families could begin to imagine in their homes. While much scholarship theorizes sensationalism as affective excess in opposition to the rational, the emergence of computing in this period necessitates a new consideration of sensationalistic media practices. The case of how publics were introduced to early ideas about computers is an opportunity to consider the complexity of sensationalism as a bundle of affects anchored in the iconography of white femininity, a mode I term sensible sensationalism.
The Radio Made Betty
In: Feminist Media Histories, Band 1, Heft 4, S. 46-70
ISSN: 2373-7492
Scholarly histories of Betty Crocker in the United States present the fictional General Mills character as a model home economist of the domestic science movement and the foremost illustration of midcentury "live trademark" consumer marketing. Yet it was the medium specificity of radio, and the sonic and nonsonic qualities of disembodiment required to sustain a live trademark, that solidified Betty's place in women's home service programming. Betty Crocker's on-air persona is underexplored and formative in the history of golden-age radio. How did radio make Betty, and how did Betty make radio? This article uses archival documents, listener mail, and surviving broadcasts to build a historiography of a distinctly sonic brand. While the on-air Betty Crocker was a cheerful purveyor of homemaking advice, backstage was a concentrated labor force of real women sustaining a radio-dependent brand identity through the aural, written, and physical personification of a beloved national figure.

It traces the unsuccessful referendum attempt in 1999 to convert Australia into a republic and outlines what would need to change for Australia's frozen constitutional status to thaw.

Reflections on the commemoration of the First World War: perspectives from the former British Empire
In: Routledge studies in First World War history
"The First World War's centenary generated a mass of commemorative activity worldwide. Officially and unofficially; individually, collectively and commercially; locally, nationally and internationally, efforts were made to respond to the legacies of this vast conflict. This book explores some of these responses from areas previously tied to the British Empire, including Australia, Britain, Canada, India and New Zealand. Showcasing insights from historians of commemoration and heritage professionals, it provides revealing insider and outsider perspectives of the centenary. How far did commemoration become celebration, and how merited were such responses? To what extent did the centenary serve wider social and political functions? Was it a time for new knowledge and understanding of the events of a century ago, for recovery of lost or marginalised voices, or for confirming existing clichés? And what can be learned from the experience of this centenary that might inform the approach to future commemorative activities? The contributors to this book grapple with these questions, coming to different answers and demonstrating the connections and disconnections between those involved in building public knowledge of the 'war to end all wars'"--

In: Pouvoirs: revue française d'études constitutionelles et politiques, Band 141, Heft 2, S. 91-101
Résumé Cet article présente les obstacles conceptuels, pratiques et sentimentaux qui expliquent que, depuis la création de la fédération, il y a plus de cent ans, l'Australie maintient ses liens avec la Grande-Bretagne. Il analyse l'échec du référendum de 1999 qui a tenté de transformer l'Australie en une république et suggère les changements nécessaires pour entraîner un dégel constitutionnel en Australie.
