Six Theses on Contemporary Australia, David Carter , single work criticism
'My six theses - hypotheses rather - are designed to open up these perspectives and map the uneven distribution of the characteristics described across different cultural domains. None can be taken as a general or unique attribute of Australian culture but each reveals something of the particular disposition or dynamics of culture in Australia (its sameness as well as its difference)' (59). The theses are: Britain is irrelevant to contemporary Australian culture; Indigeous cultures are central; multiculturalism is central; modern forms of popular culture have been as significant as high culture; the influence of American culture has been beneficial; Australia's originality is an effect of its 'unoriginality'.
