Australia

release date: Jan 01, 2009
Australia
On many criteria, Australia has been a pioneering democracy. As one of the oldest continuing democracies, however, a health check has long been overdue. Since 2002 the Democratic Audit of Australia, a major democracy assessment project, has been applying an internationally tested set of indicators to Australian political institutions and practices.The indicators derive from four basic principles--political equality, popular control of government, civil liberties and human rights and the quality of public deliberation. Comparative data are taken from Australia''s nine jurisdictions, as well as from three comparator democracies, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for reform.Some of the findings are disturbing. For example, Australia has fallen well behind in the regulation of private money in elections and in controlling the use of government or parliamentary resources for partisan benefit. Transparency and accountability have suffered from relatively weak FOI regimes and from executive dominance of parliaments.For those studying democracy or wanting to reform Australian politics, The State of Democracy provides a wealth of evidence in a well-illustrated and highly accessible format. Internationally, it is an important contribution to the democracy assessment literature and pushes into new areas such as the intergovernmental decision-making of federalism.

Una chica en invierno
Katherine es una joven refugiada que trabaja como bibliotecaria en una gris ciudad inglesa. Hastiada de su trabajo y de la vida en general, lo único que le hace mantener la esperanza es la perspectiva de un reencuentro con el que fue su primer amor. Así, en las horas previas a su cita, Katherine revivirá las idílicas vacaciones que supusieron para ella la pérdida de la inocencia y el paso a la edad adulta. Ahora Robin, el protagonista de aquel crucial verano, tan glorioso como mortificante, tan radiante como precozmente crepuscular, podría poner fin a su monótona vida y arrancarla para siempre de las garras de la frustración.

Enredo en Willow Gables
A partir de los documentos depositados tras su muerte en la Biblioteca Brynmor Jones, de Hull, este volumen recopila parte de la ficción juvenil e inédita de Larkin, escrita bajo el seudónimo de Brunnette Coleman. Creadas básicamente para deleitar a Kingsley Amis y Edmund Crispin, los irreverentes amigos de Larkin en Oxford, estas nouvelles nos trasladan a un internado femenino, remedando las populares novelas sobre colegialas tan de moda en su época. He aquí los primeros balbuceos literarios de Larkin, textos pseudoautobiográficos en los que, usando una voz prestada, da rienda suelta a sus tendencias, explicita su confusa sexualidad y desata sus críticas al sistema escolar femenino, lo que liberó su creatividad y le llevo convertirse en el aclamado escritor y poeta que es hoy en día.

Une fille en hiver
Réfugiée en Angleterre, lors de la seconde guerre mondiale, Katherine Lind y survit solitaire, confrontée à la vie étriquée d’une bibliothèque de province. L’exil l’a coupée de tout. Ne subsiste, au milieu d’un hiver impitoyable, que le souvenir d’un mois d’été dans la campagne anglaise lorsque, six ans plus tôt, écolière encore, elle était venue rendre visite à son correspondant, Robin Fennel. Pourtant, il s’est passé peu de choses entre elle et ce garçon, si peu qu’elle ne sait comment l’accueillir, face à l’intimité qu’il quémande à la veille de partir pour le débarquement. « Odyssée à l’intérieur d’un rêve », où une existence affronte ses propres limites dans l’engrenage des ratages quotidiens, ce deuxième et dernier roman d’un jeune poète est devenu un classique des lettres anglaises. Philip Larkin a été désigné comme "le plus grand écrivain anglais depuis 1945" par The Times, en 2008.

Una ragazza d'inverno
Sono gli anni del secondo conflitto mondiale; Katherine Lind è una ragazza straniera che ha trovato lavoro nella biblioteca di una piccola città della provincia inglese, diretta dall''insopportabile signor Anstey. Un giorno riceve una lettera: è di Robin Fennel, il suo vecchio amico di penna, una delle poche persone che conosce nel paese. Il pensiero di Katherine corre subito alla leggendaria estate dei suoi sedici anni, passata nella casa dei Fennel, e all''attrazione nata tra lei e Robin. Non si sono mai più sentiti da allora, ma lui - che è sotto le armi - le annuncia una visita. Cosa può essere rimasto in un gelido inverno di guerra di quel lontano, innocente amore adolescenziale? Il secondo romanzo di Philip Larkin è un intenso racconto che parla di guerra e di pace, di esilio e di vacanza, di inverni e di estati; è il «racconto di un poeta» - ha scritto Joyce Carol Oates - «che sa evocare, con poche nude immagini, un senso di spreco, disillusione e vuoto profondo degno del più desolato Beckett», una storia «di grande sensibilità, meditativa, commovente, di proporzioni volutamente modeste che ricorda l''opera di Virginia Woolf».

La Vie avec un trou dedans
La poésie peut s’insinuer en vous sans crier gare. Wordsworth a failli me coûter la vie, une fois. Je descendais l’autoroute M1, un samedi matin ; il y avait cette émission de poésie à la radio, « L’heure des poèmes » ; c’était une belle matinée d’été, soudain quelqu’un s’est mis à lire l’Ode à l’Immortalité, j’en ai eu les yeux brouillés de larmes. Et quand vous conduisez dans la file du milieu à cent kilomètres-heure... J’aime à croire que je suis plutôt drôle, et j’espère que ça passe dans mon écriture. Mais c’est le malheur qui suscite un poème. Et je pense que la source de ma popularité, si j’en ai une, vient sans doute de ces choses que j’ai écrites sur le malheur – après tout la plupart des gens sont malheureux, non ? Je me suis demandé si les auteurs du nouveau dictionnaire Oxford des citations allaient m’accoler « Ils te niquent, tes père et mère ». Je tenais de bonne source qu’on leur avait assuré que c’était mon vers le plus connu, et je ne voudrais pas donner à croire que je n’aimais pas mes parents. En tout cas, ils n’ont pas pris ce vers. La frousse je suppose. P.L. Poèmes choisis et traduits de l’anglais par Guy Le Gaufey, avec la collaboration de Denis Hirson. Édition précédée de « Le principe de plaisir » et suivie d’un entretien à l’Observer. Format numérique en VF uniquement. Philip Larkin (1922-1985) poète, romancier et critique de jazz, est considéré comme l’un des plus grands écrivains anglais du XXe siècle. Son deuxième et dernier roman, Une fille en hiver, est publié aux mêmes éditions.
