On the tabling of the report, Watts told the parliament that: ‘The natives must be taught to feel the mastery of the whites.

There were no Aboriginal or Strait Islander peoples invited to give evidence to this inquiry, neither native police troopers nor members of the broader community.

We are drawn to experiencing art, because doing so lights up the pleasure centers of our brains, creating a warm feeling that encourages us to want more of the same-much the way our brains respond to fulfilling basic needs, like food and sex. This means art is central to our survival somehow, perhaps helping us to make new intuitive leaps and innovate and to help bind us to one another.Īs the authors explain, appreciating or making art involves using many parts of our brain-from those that process our senses to those involved in emotion, memory, and cognition. But art has been part of every culture on the planet, for tens of thousands of years. ![]() It may seem a mystery that we make or enjoy art at all.

Woods's vigorous translation works brilliantly on two counts: It catches both the logic and the music of Mann's intricate mandarin sentences (if one reads closely, the rewards are great) and it gives the novel's narrator (``Adrian's intimate from his hometown'') a truly distinctive voice, making him more of an involved character than a rhetorical device. ![]() A work written in old age and suffused with Mann's moral despair over his country's complacent embrace of Nazism, Doctor Faustus unrelentingly details the rise and fall of Adrian LeverkÅhn, a gifted musician (modeled, as Mann admitted, on modernist innovator Arnold Schoenberg) who effectively sells his soul to the devil for a generation of renown as the greatest living composer. The modest Thomas Mann boom, begun with the recent publication (by New Directions) of his early stories, continues with this fine new English translation of the author's last great novel, first published in 1948. ![]() ![]() And the dark deeds and dealings stay dark in a few more stories also included in this anthology.
