The daily log on board the whaling ship Catalpa begins with the typical recount of a crew intact and a spirit unfettered, but such quiet words deceive the truth of the audacious enterprise that came to be known as one of the most important rescues in Irish American history. John Devoy's men rescued six Irish political prisoners from the Australian coast, allowing millions of fellow Irishmen and American-Fenians, many of whom secretly financed the dangerouIrishAustraliaFremantle (W.A.)History19th centuryEscapesAustraliaFremantle (W.A.)History19th centuryPolitical prisonersAustraliaFremantle (W.A.)Penal coloniesAustraliaFremantle (W.A.)FeniansFremantle (W.A.)HistoryElectronic books.IrishHistoryEscapesHistoryPolitical prisonersPenal coloniesFenians.994.1/1Devoy John1842-1928.1030732Fennell Philip1030733King Marie1948-1030734MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451571603321John Devoy's Catalpa expedition2447789UNINA03402nam 2200721Ia 450 991045163730332120200520144314.094-012-0173-01-4237-8913-X(CKB)1000000000462539(EBL)556485(OCoLC)70792281(SSID)ssj0000096116(PQKBManifestationID)12033147(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000096116(PQKBWorkID)10097252(PQKB)11637084(MiAaPQ)EBC556485(Au-PeEL)EBL556485(CaPaEBR)ebr10380470(EXLCZ)99100000000046253920060302d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe abject object[electronic resource] avatars of the phallus in contemporary French theory, literature and film /Keith ReaderAmsterdam ;New York, N.Y.

Scrutiny of these concepts informs readings of a number of texts - literary (Bataille, Adamov, Doubrovsky, Houellebecq, Rochefort, Angot) and cinematic (Ferreri, Eustache, Godard, Noé, Bonello) - in which the abject phallus is a significant factor.
