Un livre, Un lecteur, émission présentée par Florence Berthout. Elle reçoit Sophie Malick Prunier pour parler du livre « Une rançon » de David Malouf Une rançon marque le retour au roman de l'immense écrivain qu'est l'Australien David Malouf, prix Femina étranger pour Ce vaste monde. Il réinterprète ici magistralement l'une des scènes les plus célèbres de L'Iliade. Celle où Priam, du haut des murs de Troie, assiste à la profanation du corps d'Hector, traîné derrière le char d'un Achille rendu fou de douleur par la mort de son ami Patrocle. Prêt à tout pour récupérer le cadavre de son fils, le vieillard, dépouillé des attributs de la royauté, se dirige alors vers le camp des Grecs dans une simple charrette tirée par des mules. Achille et Priam: deux hommes face à leur souffrance, au chagrin, en quête de rédemption. Incandescent et crépusculaire, ce livre au lyrisme puissant et délicat, à l'instar de l'épopée légendaire qu'il restitue, résonne singulièrement dans le monde d'aujourd'hui.

La démarche DesignOps émerge en 2017, à travers plusieurs articles publiés sur internet. Adrian Cleave - chez Airbnb - fait naitre la démarche d'un besoin d'aligner les équipes dans une organisation à l'échelle à la suite de la conception de DLS ; leur Design Language System. David Malouf - expert américain du sujet - participe en novembre 2017 au DesignOps Summit. Un événement qui ambitionne “d'aider à définir le terme de Design Opérations”. Enfin, en 2018, Invision publie son DesignOps Handbook. Ces 3 moments racontent la naissance de cette démarche, avec une seule ambition : aider les équipes Design à grandir et à gagner en maturité. Airbnb déclare aujourd'hui s'appuyer sur 5 équipes différentes. Ces équipes sont spécialisées : management, outils, localisation internationale, production, coordinations… Ce sont sur ces spécialités que reposent leur vision et leur démarche. Design + Opérations = DesignOps ? Afin de comprendre cette équation nous avons invité : Emilie Larose, Head of DesignOps et Recherche chez e.Voyageurs SNCF Johanna Rowe Calvi, Head of Design chez Blizzard Entertainment Valentin Serry, DesignOps Lead chez Monsieur Guiz, actuellement en mission chez ENGIE Digital Au sommaire de cet épisode : 02:00 • Chapitre 1 : Qu'est-ce que DesignOps ? Nous avons posé cette question à nos invité•es afin de mieux comprendre cette pratique encore récente. 13:11 • Chapitre 2 : Design et Opérations. L'équation à l'épreuve de la pratique. Avec nos 3 invité•es nous explorons des projets concrets autours de la pratique DesignOps. 47:13 • Chapitre 3 : Regards vers le futur Avant de regarder vers le futur nous avons demandés à nos invité•es leur avis sur la maturité actuelle de cette pratique.

Our Managing Director Mark Rubbo talks with David Malouf about his new book of poetry, An Open Book. This is a live recording from our event.

As one of Australia’s greatest living poets, Malouf continues to meditate and reflect on themes of mortality and memory.

Australian writers Hannah Kent and Zana Fraillon have spoken out against the detention of children on the island of Nauru, Arts News, David Malouf and his latest collection of poetry An Open Book, crime novelists Emma Viskic and Chris Hammer on growth of rural crime fiction.

As our next guest tells The Colour Cycle, the great Australian author David Malouf is never referred to as the Great-Lebanese-Gay-Australian author. So do non-Anglo artists always have to represent the cultural identity of their parents or their birthplace? Why aren't they simply referred to as Australian artists? How does the colour of your skin or the language you speak at home inform your creative work? Does it have to?  In this episode, Author and TV and radio host Sunil Badami talks to Lena Nahlous about identity politics, and asks, what is the Australian voice and who does it belong to.

Peter Porter is considered one of the greatest later twentieth century poets. Expatriate in London since 1951, his reputation was established by his inclusion in the 1961 second volume of the Penguin Modern Poets anthology series. His elegiac poetry following the sudden death in 1974 of his wife Jannice, has been compared to Hardy. Porter was awarded many honours, including the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry and the Gold Medal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature. In Britain he was considered an Australian poet, in Australia he was sometimes considered British, although he often returned for visits, and the series of radio dialogues with his fellow expatriate poet Clive James, was broadcast regularly on ABC radio. The National Library first acquired papers from Peter Porter in 1982, with some small, later additions, also mainly of drafts and notebooks for his writing. The bulk of the papers of Peter Porter were acquired after his death in 2010, and are an astonishing record of Australian cultural and artistic life from the 1970s. Peter was a prolific correspondent and the more than 69 boxes of letters within the papers are ‘who’s who’ of distinguished literary, artistic and cultural figures, with letters from significant artists such as John Olsen and Arthur Boyd, musical figures like Roger Covell and Don Banks, and many other writers, including Les Murray, Shirley Hazzard, Tom Shapcott, David Malouf. The correspondence reveals Peter’s great encouragement and generosity towards many Australian poets - including Chris Wallace-Crabbe, Gig Ryan, Peter Goldsworthy, Craig Sherborne and Adrian Caesar, who speak at the symposium. Peter’s widow Christine, and his daughters Katherine and Jane, were present at the symposium, which concluded with a moving tribute by his friend Clive James.

Australian poet, Judith Rodriguez, has been teaching poetry at universities internationally and at the Council of Adult Education for fifty years. She brings to this program a global knowledge of poetic forms and history. This is Part 3 of a three part series. Rodriguez taught English at La Trobe University from 1969 until 1985. In 1986 she was  writer-in-residence at Rollins College, Florida, an experience commemorated in her ninth collection Floridian Poems (1986). In 1989 she took up a lectureship in writing at Victoria College, which in 1993 became part of Deakin University, where she continued to teach until her retirement in 2003. Rodriguez's first poetry collection was published in 1962 as part of Four Poets, the others being fellow Brisbane poets David Malouf, Rodney Hall and Don Maynard. The title poem of her first solo collection, Nu-Plastik Fanfare Red: and other poems (1973), has remained an anthology favourite; it demonstrates her highly effective use of direct and forthright language and striking imagery.Water Life (1976) won the inaugural South Australian Biennial Literature Prize in 1978, while one of Rodriguez's most highly-regarded collections, Mudcrab at Gambaro's (1980) received both the Sydney PEN Golden Jubilee Award for Poetry and the Artlook/Shell Literary Award in 1981. The title sequence of poems celebrates life and sensuality through the eating of Queensland mud crab. Rodriguez is also known for her poems about women's experiences; the title poem of Witch Heart (1982), published by the feminist press Sisters, records a visit to Robyn Archer's play about the often disastrous lives of famous women performers, A Star is Torn.

Internationally acclaimed author David Malouf joins Gerard Vaughan AM in conversation for a discussion featuring art, literature and music. After exploring the idea of home, where and what it is in A First Place, what does it mean to be a writer and where writing begins in The Writing Life, David Malouf moves on to words, music, art and performance in Being There. With pieces on the Sydney Opera House - then and now - responses to art, artists and architects, and including Malouf’s previously unpublished libretti for Voss and a translation of Hippolytus, this is an unmissable and stimulating collection of one man’s connection to the world of art, ideas and culture. David Malouf’s Collected Stories won the 2008 Australia-Asia Literary Award and his most recent books are A First Place and The Writing Life. Dr Gerard Vaughan AM is the Director of the National Gallery of Australia, a position he has held since November 2014.

Harriett Gilbert is joined by the Scottish crime writer Val McDermid and comedian and neologist Alex Horne in the first of a new series of the paperback discussion show. Among the books under discussion are Andre Agassi's revealing autobiography of life lived centre stage at Centre Court, Jeanette Winterson's acclaimed memoir of her childhood, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal, and Remembering Babylon, David Malouf's prizewinning 1993 outsider novel set in Australia. Producer: Mark Smalley

In this presentation, David Malouf moves beyond the usual story of patterns, code, and tips and tricks, and talk more about aesthetics, experience design, brand, and total environmental context of use. He layers those elements over a discussion around trying to define “richness” in the context of general application design and then try to apply it to a continuum of various types of computer and network based solutions.

In this interview, UIE's Joshua Porter and Jared Spool talk with David Malouf, Senior User Experience Designer at Symbol Technologies, and Bill Scott, Ajax Evangelist and Design Manager for Yahoo's recently released Design Pattern Library. They discuss Rich Internet Application development, Ajax, and other important issues surrounding the creation of sophisticated web apps.
