Description This 6 week short course is specifically designed for Study Abroad students. This course introduces students to the issues that have shaped Australian society and culture, both past and present, through a range of literary, cinematic, and cultural texts. It examines the histories of these cultural forms and the issues that are central to them, and provides students with an understanding of the relations between cultural texts and cultural and national identity. Australian film, media and literature are key sites through which questions of national and cultural identity are represented and debated in Australia, and they are also (though somewhat differently) the means through which international audiences formulate their conceptions of Australia and Australian culture.
