University of Western Australia - Reading Texts, Mediating Culture

This unit is an introduction to the field known as cultural studies. Students are introduced to a range of issues and readings that come from different disciplines but are all involved in a broader attempt to 'read' culture. Most people are familiar with the idea of reading a book or poem and even of reading a film, but the unit considers whether it is legitimate to regard other cultural formations and practices as texts. Thematically the unit moves from an interest in the 'everyday' towards a sense in which this everyday is replaced by creative and sometimes subversive alternatives in the form of play, travel and celebrity culture.

University of Western Australia - Australian Literature: Fiction into Film

In recent years Australian films have had an exciting impact on the way Australians see themselves and on the image of Australia in the world at large. Many such films are based on Australian novels, a different form of narrative. This unit focuses on several Australian novels and the films which have been made from them. It examines the relationship between the two genres, both through the way in which each uses the narrative techniques available to it and through the differences that occur in the transmission of the book into the film. The unit also considers how both novels and films represent issues that are central to contemporary Australian society, for example, the significance of the landscape; gender and race relations; sex, money and work; and the beach, city and suburbs.
