25.01.2022 We are very pleased to announce that our new website is now live. There are still a few wrinkles to iron out; however, we are thrilled to showcase the new design, brought to life by talented Sydney graphic and web designer Elle Williams. Although many articles remain available in pdf format only, we are busy making all articles, Excursions, and reviews available in both html and pdf formats. Along with the new website, we are pleased to announce the online publication of Ph...ilament 25: Revisions. We are grateful to volume editors Ella Collins-White, Jennifer Nicholson, and Samantha Poulos for all their hard work in producing this volume. We are equally grateful to all authors and contributors. Please explore the new issue and website at http://www.philamentjournal.com/issues/revisions/. We would finally like to thank the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association - SUPRA and the English Department, University of Sydney for their support of Philament's mission to develop and publish postgraduate and early-career academic scholarship.

24.01.2022 From Issue 21 of Philament: Phillipa Specker's article "Human Warehouses for Marginalised peoples: the Mundane Terror of Imprisonment in an Indigenous Australian Context" examines the thoroughly 19th-century attitude of the Australian government that has led to indigenous people being hyper-represented in prisons.

24.01.2022 Read Wendy Brown's lucid, crystallising definition of neoliberalism, a "governing rationality" that "generates and legitimates extreme inequalities of wealth and life conditions" and "leads to increasingly precarious and "disposable populations." #precarity

23.01.2022 "For anyone reading Australia’s lost race romances today, the out-and-out weirdness of their geography is likely to be the first thing that strikes them. Staging the discovery of a lost race in the middle of the desert, adventure-romance novels like The Lost Explorer (1890) and The Silver Queen (1908) describe a bizarrely incoherent Australian landscape, a cross between Virgil’s Eclogues and Indiana Jones." From Melissa Bellanta's Fabulating the Australian Desert: Australia’s Lost Race Romances, 18901908. Published in Philament 3 (2004). Read the full, open-access article here: http://www.philamentjournal.com/articles/03_04/.

22.01.2022 From Issue 21: Philippa Specker on the hyper-imprisonment of Indigenous Australians: "Some of the most insidious forms of terror in our historical moment are enacted and justified by government policy. And some of the most shocking examples of this terror appear in the form of the statistical and factual realities of imprisonment in the criminal justice systems of our time."

15.01.2022 Mareile Pfannebecker and J.A. Smith on the "age of precarity": "There is today a preoccupation with the idea of 'the end of work': whether in chronicling the decline of permanent careers in the age of precarity; dystopian warnings that digitisation is about to bring a new age of mass unemployment; or utopian demands that we seize the opportunity to radically redefine our relationship to work." #precarity

14.01.2022 Dear Postgrads/new-career academics, Philament would love your academic papers, literature reviews, your short stories, creative non-fiction, and poetry that relates to the theme of Precarity; that is, the precarious, between-jobs nature of modern life, which involves being stuck in the gap between one culture and another, experiences of the fear and prejudice of otherness, and, of course, Temporary Protection Visas and other tribulations of being a refugee. Here is the call... for papers. Submissions are due August 1. We're designed to give opportunities to new academics, so don't be afraid to turn in something you're not sure about - the eds. can work with you to bring out the best in your work if you lack confidence. http://www.philamentjournal.com/call-for-papers/

12.01.2022 The CFP for our issue 22, Precarity, is now circulating online, including on Penn English. Message or email us if you have any questions about your potential submission -- we're excited to produce an extensive issue. Submissions close 1 August.

04.01.2022 Read Aleksandr Andreas Wansbrough's essay on Lars von Triers Melancholia in our latest issue: "Another distinct feature of Melancholias prologue is its sublime and beautiful sequences. However, the hyperreality of many of these sequences also renders them kitsch, which in turn suggests the death or impossibility of the sublime in a contemporary context."
