This unit has a cross-disciplinary perspective and suits the interests of students undertaking major sequences in Literary Studies, Australian Studies and Cultural Studies. In its focus on a range of textual modes and genres (visual and verbal; popular and literary; children’s and mainstream) it aims to foreground the diverse and contradictory perspectives which inform representations of Australia. It will draw on theories of representation to illuminate cultural differences as they manifest in contemporary texts.
