SUMMARY:Up from the vaults: As the River Flows
DESCRIPTION:The changing shape of Birrarung (Yarra River) \nIn the first outing of our ‘Up from the Vaults’ series for 2020\, Dr Liz Dean from the School of Social and Political Sciences will explore the significance of Birrarung (the Yarra River). \nIn 2017 the Victorian Government implemented the landmark Yarra River Protection Wilip-gin Birrarung murron Act 2017; legislation which recognises the Yarra River as a living entity and acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as its traditional custodians\, while also protecting the river for future generations. \n‘Wilip-gin Birrarung murron’ translates as ‘keep the Birrarung alive’ in Woi-wurrung; and significantly\, the act was the first legislation in Australia to be co-titled in a Traditional Owner language. \nWhile largely overlooked\, this Act can promote public discussions about Sovereignty. In granting the rights of the river\, the boundaries of ownership are put into question. It also creates a focus on Indigenous representations of the Birrarung/Yarra River and on Indigenous knowledge of and care for the river\, how rivers shape themselves and how the settler state altered the Yarra River. The early representations of this river help us begin to explore the diverse layers of the river and the spaces it occupies. \nImage: George William Perry ‘Princes Bridge and the Yarra in flood\, December’ 1863 albumen photograph The University of Melbourne Art Collection.

SUMMARY:RHSV History Bookclub
DESCRIPTION:This will be the inaugural meeting of our History Bookclub. And the first book chosen is Chloe Hooper’s The Arsonist: A mind on fire.  \nThe bookclub will focus on Victorian history but there may be little deviations. It will be moderated at first but it is planned for it to be self-sufficient. We will organise occasional author visits and guest speakers. The group size will be capped. There will be monthly meetings – currently planned for the 2nd Tuesday of each month. A bookclub is\, of course\, focused on the book but the word ‘club’ in the title is there for a reason – we want these gatherings to be fun. \nIf you have queries\, please contact Rosemary / 9326 9288 / rosemary.cameron@historyvictoria.org.au \nThe Arsonist is available through the History Victoria Bookshop at the discounted price of $19 \nThe Arsonist was awarded a Judge’s Special Prize in the 2019 Victorian Community History Awards. The Judges’ citation is: \n“This powerful and suspenseful story of the 2009 bushfires in the Latrobe Valley is told from the perspectives of the police\, the victims\, the alleged perpetrator and his parents. The drama revolves around the accused\, Brendan Sokaluk from Churchill\, a social misfit with a cognitive disability. The author raises the issue as to what extent was he knowingly responsible for the inferno as she reflects on the nature of his disability and pyromania theories. \nThe backdrop is a disadvantaged community that experienced widespread unemployment after privatisation of the State’s energy grid and loss of community facilities at Yallourn and elsewhere owing to obeisance to coal mining. \nHooper uses a novelist’s skills to evoke the savage fury of the fire\, a monster unleashed on a hapless little community\, but her writing is anchored in fact; her sources are primarily the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission and court records. Her creative narrative represents a compelling way of telling the history of a catastrophe.”
