Levels:
Undergraduate A focus on exciting and innovative developments in Australian fiction, poetry and drama since is a feature of this unit. A
study is made of the movement away from the intense nationalism and the realism characteristic of Australian literature
in the early years of the twentieth century. Students consider the ways in which the spiritual and cultural uncertainties of
contemporary Australian life are reflected in the literature and film of the period and explore contemporary attitudes to
history, myth, memory, imagination and a changing awareness of 'place' in the national consciousness. Films include Mad
Max, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Castle.
