Description

This subject looks at the ways Australia is understood and imagined both internally and on the world stage, and the forces that have influenced its development. Students engage in hands-on learning with a variety of media to critically analyse and creatively interpret the meanings of Australia, and how the country has arrived at contemporary issues and ideas. Through digitised historical sources, news reports, film, literature, television, music and the visual arts, students explore recurring tropes and motifs in Australian culture. A variety of concepts are investigated from how Australia deals with the legacies of its colonial past to the way the nation has been shaped by the land's environmental extremes. Students develop skills in the critical evaluation of different types of sources, and learn how to conduct case study research by tracing the histories of specific places, people and issues to explore what these reveal about broader patterns in Australian society and its sense of self across time.
