This course focuses on recent Australian fiction/non-fiction/film and foregrounds the diversity of themes which present Australia as increasingly contested space of diverse histories, knowledges, ethnicities and cultural practices. In several units dedicated to multicultural and immigrant writing, Aboriginal counter-narratives, portraits of mythologized landscapes, history of colonization and nation-building, students will analyze narratives that critically explore Australian identities, and challenge the myth of a homogenous, white, gendered, Anglo-Saxon settler nation. Classes include mini-lectures, film clips, primary and secondary text analyses, and group and class discussions. Students will be expected to read assigned texts, contribute to seminar discussions, write regular response papers and a final essay, incorporating key theoretical concepts framing the course and critical analyses into their work.
