Provocations: Arguing about History
The Friends of the National Library of Australia present an opportunity to hear from two of Australia’s most eminent and most productive historians: Professor Frank Bongiorno and Professor Peter Stanley.
The session was moderated by Dr Anne-Marie Schwirtlich, a former Director-General of the National Library.
To pigeon-hole the two historians is impossible. Frank’s 'Sex Lives of Australians' (ACT Book of the Year 2013) and Peter’s 'Bad Characters' (recipient of the Prime Minister’s History Award 2011) take us into the private lives of Australians. Do these two historians have anything else in common? One a social/political historian, the other a military historian. You can explore with them how they see and write history.
About the speakers
Frank Bongiorno is Professor of History at the Australian National University. His books include 'The Sex Lives of Australians: A History' (2012), 'The Eighties: The Decade That Transformed Australia' (2015) and 'Dreamers and Schemers: a Political History of Australia' (2022), which recently won the Australian Political Studies Association Henry Mayer Book Prize and ACT Book of the Year. Frank is President of the Australian Historical Association and the Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
Dr Anne-Marie Schwirtlich has led the National Library of Australia, the State Library of Victoria and the National Archives of Australia. She is a member of the Council of the ANU.
Peter Stanley is one of Australia’s most prolific military-social historians and the author of over 40 books. He was formerly Principal Historian at the Australian War Memorial and recently retired as Research Professor at UNSW Canberra. He has just delivered to NewSouth Publishers what will be his 45th book, 'Beyond the Broken Years: Australian Military History in a Thousand Books'. He also writes fiction and ‘his novel of sport and war in the islands’, The Sherrin will be published by Big Sky in 2025.

    Jeni Haynes, her courage, her beauty, her story, they now live in my heart and give courage, beauty and hope to my own story. I thank God that she survived to give us this hope, this awesome revelation of pure humanity. Jeni Haynes demonstrates that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.” “… the specifically human capacity to detach oneself not only from the world but from oneself … the realm of the spiritual…” Viktor Frankl (Page 153 Psychoanalysis and Existentialism) Page 153

    Goodna is never going to able to get rid of that stigma of the "mental asylum" of Queensland even though it's located in Wacol and has been for many, many decades. Either way, Wolston Park at Wacol was and still is a very sad place. As a child I often saw the police at Gailes railway station cleaning up the bodies from the tracks due to suicides. I also knew upstanding staff (not doctors) that worked there and heard some unreal stories, often about what the patients would get up to, not the staff. I know of people who were lobotomized at this hospital back in the 1960's. I wish this lady all the best in her search for justice for all of those wronged by the mismanagement of this facility, but I believe it would be like drawing blood from a stone.

    Thank you for sharing your research. I worked on the Ford Enquiring and what you hear on the news and get told of our history is so different to the facts and the truth. So much of our history gets destroyed because our stories are not told as they truly happened. Governments try so hard to change our history by forgetting our past that our policies tried to correct. I am so relieved that some of our history has remained and not corrected.

    I just read this book. I am close with someone with DID, who I have known since childhood, and while I understood it before and have been able to upkeep relationships with this person and his alters, every aspect of this gave me a deeper understanding of the workings of DID/MPD and the mechanics behind it. Thank you for telling your story - it was an extremely hard read but invaluable to me.

    Great that Trove has been able to record Alice Garner - sharing her processes of researching archival audio; and, of her own methods of interviewing related accounts of her central interest - Mavis Robertson. Looking forward to hearing/ seeing Alice Garner update us on her progress in collaboration with the National Archives. Wellwishes.

    That was wonderful!!!! I studied the Aboriginal people at Newcastle Uni in the mid 90's and believe in truth and facts. It is so crucial that history is as accurate and true as possible, whether people like it or not. Especially at a time when we have to listen to peoples delusions ans fantasies like Lydia Thorpe and Bruce Pascoe. Thank you so much for your integrity, historical accuracy and honesty Professor!!! Keep history TRUE!

    Rod Barton basically confirms that we didn't go to war on a lie. We went to war on the mistaken belief that Iraq wouldn't have disposed of its WMDs without documenting their disposal and therefore without being able to force the world to end the policy of sanctions and containment. Andrew Wilkie, on the night of his resignation, told the ABC's Kerry O'Brien that Iraq definitely had WMD, definitely needed to be disarmed, but that sanctions, containment and diplomatic efforts were working so war was unnecessary. The war was the culmination of a narrative which started really after Iraq committed the Halabja massacre. Along the way we had the Gulf War, which could possibly have been averted if US ambassador April Glaspie hadn't told Saddam that the US saw his argument with Kuwait as an inter-Arab dispute and wouldn't intervene. Then we had the 9/11 attacks, which Osama bin Laden said was provoked partly by the suffering caused by the sanctions regime against Iraq and partly by the presence of US military personnel on Saudi soil, there to enforce the containment of Iraq. The main thing that surprises me is that the US and its allies didn't mount a covert operation to plant evidence of WMDs in Iraq. Their "discovery" would have discredited the opponents of the Iraq War and made it harder for al-Qa'ida and later Islamic State to present the US as the main oppressor of Arabs.

      @autisticzuko2750 Před 24 dny

      It has not been called Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)since the 1970s, but movies have always used MPD as the label. Thus, it became a "layman's" term. The disorder now is called "Dissociative Identity Disorder" and is more conducive and better descriptor of the disorder. The alters are not just facets of personalities, but their own people that share the body.
