Consider the Clothesline - Australian Photographic Gallery

release date: Apr 01, 2016
Consider the Clothesline - Australian Photographic Gallery
Photographer Frances Andrijich''s unusual fascination with the clothesline has made the world just a little brighter. Paired with Susan Maushart''s witty and illuminating text, these images are by turns whimsical, meditative and transgressive, and have all the intoxicating freshness of a basket of sun-dried sheets.# Inspired by the obsession of one of Australia''s finest photographers and teamed with an internationally acclaimed author who has finally come to terms with our passion for the clothesline. This book not only notices clotheslines. It showcases them. Contemplates them.Celebrates them.Drags them from the back blocks to centre stage, to take their rightful place in the sun. Retro-kitschy-cult-classic crossed with post-feminist whimsy wedded to an unimpeachable aesthetic.

Pause
Une famille, trois ados, zéro média électronique Vous avez trois cents amis sur Facebook et quatre cent cinquante followers sur Twitter, mais à quand remonte le dernier dîner en famille où vous avez eu une vraie conversation avec vos enfants ? Le monde va-t-il vraiment s''arrêter de tourner si vous éteignez votre smartphone ? Voilà le genre de questions que se pose Susan Maushart quand elle embarque ses trois adolescents de quatorze, quinze et dix-huit ans dans une cure de déconnexion de tous les médias électroniques pendant six mois. Peu à peu les enfants, "natifs numériques" qui ne se contentent pas d''utiliser les médias mais vivent dans les médias, sont amenés à réfléchir sur leur comportement. Et Susan ne ressort pas non plus indemne de cette expérience qui l''amènera quelques mois plus tard à bouleverser totalement sa vie. Édifiant et drôle, son carnet de bord retrace les différentes étapes de cette aventure gratifiante où la famille reconquiert toutes les bonnes choses dont la technologie numérique peut nous priver si nous n''y prenons pas garde.

Nedkopplad : En familj. Ett experiment. Ett liv utan teknik.

release date: Sep 12, 2011
Nedkopplad : En familj. Ett experiment. Ett liv utan teknik.
Under ett halvår ska den iPhone-beroende mamman och journalisten Susan Maushart och hennes tre teknikknarkande tonårsbarn leva nedkopplade. Hon kallar det för ett experiment. Barnen kallar det för tortyr. NEDKOPPLAD är en underhållande familjeskildring (många LOL!) men också en seriös undersökning av hur vi använder teknik och hur den påverkar våra liv: Är den yngre generationen verkligen bättre på att göra flera saker samtidigt? Förenklar ny teknik alltid våra liv? Hur påverkas våra relationer av att vi tittar mer på skärmar än på varandra? Att vara nedkopplad medför problem, både praktiskt och känslomässigt. Men när bitarna väl börjar falla på plats så sker något oväntat familjen som tidigare brukade sitta framför varsin skärm och skicka snabbmeddelande till varandra via nätet börjar plötsligt att prata med varandra, spela spel och äta gemensamma middagar, något som var helt otänkbart före Experimentet. Susan Maushart har haft Henry David Thoreaus "Walden" som inspirationskälla innan och under Experimentet, och precis som Thoreaus resa handlar "Nedkopplad" inte om att fly från verkligheten tvärtom handlar den om att komma närmare en verklighet som ständigt verkar glida längre ifrån oss. "Nedkopplad" skildrar med lika stor del humor som allvar vad det faktiskt innebär att vi idag nästa alltid är uppkopplade. Missa inte berättelsen om hur sex månaders digital avgiftning förändrar fyra personer för alltid.

The Mask of Motherhood
When a woman becomes a mother, her relationships, her professional identity and her sense of self will never be the same again. The presence of children does not simply add to the lives of parents, it transforms those lives completely. The precise nature of this transformation remains once of the best kept secrets of contemporary adult life, shrouded in a conspiracy of silence. For expectant mothers - whether that expectation is imminent or distant - The Mask of Motherhood provides a backstage look at the realities of contemporary mothering, from pregnancy and childbirth to the juggling act we all call ''working motherhood''.
