Description

Examines the way in which Australia's popular culture is filled with representations and misrepresentations of Indigenous Australians. Focuses on the role of media, film, photography, newspapers, and other written texts in creating, replicating, reproducing and manufacturing stereotypes which represent and misrepresent Aboriginal identity and culture. Also covers the contemporary expressions of Aboriginal art, music and literature.

Note: Includes a half-day excursion to examine a number of forms of Aboriginal popular culture.
