Paperback. Condizione: New. Silently and inconspicuously, shorthand writers have been instrumental in recording, documenting and preserving oral history. Thoughts and spoken words can simply fly away without any hope of retrieval - the written word remains.' So begins this account of a skill that greatly enhanced media and business communications in the 20th century, and continues to do so. Shorthand writers in Australia date to the early years of colonisation. Users brought with them the method of their time and infectious curiosity prompted inventions and improvements through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Shorthand's popularity surged in the 1920s and beyond, coinciding with the new technology of the wireless, and what was once exclusively an occupation for men soon became one in which women excelled.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. First Edition. [CRITICISM]. Eds. Lorna Piatti-Farnell, Donna Lee Brien. Contributors: Emily Gray, Nik Taylor, Carmel Cedro, Tracy Fahey, et al. "New Directions in 21st Century Gothic: The Gothic Compass (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature)." Abingdon and New York: Routledge, 2015. English language. Hardcover. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. 17 oz. i-viii, 1-237. 237 pp. Text clean. Slight scratch on back cover. Like New. ISBN: 9781138810617."This book brings together a carefully selected range of contemporary disciplinary approaches to new areas of Gothic inquiry. Moving beyond the representational and historically based aspects of literature and film that have dominated Gothic studies, this volume both acknowledges the contemporary diversification of Gothic scholarship and maps its changing and mutating incarnations. Drawing strength from their fascinating diversity, and points of correlation, the varied perspectives and subject areas cohere around a number of core themes â?? of re-evaluation, discovery, and convergence â?? to reveal emerging trends and new directions in Gothic scholarship. Visiting fascinating areas including the Gothic and digital realities, uncanny food experiences, representations of death and the public media, Gothic creatures and their popular legacies, new approaches to contemporary Gothic literature, and re-evaluations of the Gothic mode through regional narratives, essays reveal many patterns and intersecting approaches, forcefully testifying to the multifaceted, although lucidly coherent, nature of Gothic studies in the 21st Century. The multiple disciplines represented â?? from digital inquiry to food studies, from fine art to dramaturgy â?? engage with the Gothic in order to offer new definitions and methodological approaches to Gothic scholarship. The interdisciplinary, transnational focus of this volume provides exciting new insights into, and expanded and revitalised definitions of, the Gothic and its related fields.".

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The compelling story of an entrepreneurial young woman whose shorthand skill takes her intoan untapped niche of forensic phonography. Post-war Melbourne, Australia 1950s Phillis Philpot challenges and rejects the roles prescribed for women in 1950s society. Her feminist views and desire for independence underpin her life choices, one of which was to become a top-notch shorthand court reporter for the Supreme Court of Victoria. Phillis's experience as a shorthand writer highlights a possibility when she believes untranscribed or undetected shorthand notes, which may contain vital evidence, are overlooked. With her intuitive and enquiring mind, Phillis launches her business. At times she simply stumbles across cases. Transcribing a diary of a deceased woman reveals information written about a murder, which upended the stability of a family. Meanwhile, Phillis volunteers to teach shorthand to a group of immigrant women. A missing student and a scratchy shorthand note received in the mail introduce Phillis to a web of deceit. An innocent visit to a secondhand bookshop combined with Phillis's insatiable curiosity launches her into an investigation which cements her reputation as "Phil Philpot, Forensic Phonographer". When the daily newspapers highlight her successful forays, her business in forensic phonography is propelled into the public awareness. Phillis is confident she has harnessed a previously neglected and potential-laden career opportunity. Phillis is excited that this is just the beginning. This item is printed on demand.
