Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course explores the representation of Aboriginal people in Australian film and media against the background of Australia’s history as a colonial settler nation. Students will learn not only of Aboriginal people’s marginalisation in Australian popular culture but also of their own shaping and forming of the culture itself. Specific attention will be given to iconic Aboriginal films such as Ten Canoes (2006) – the first film to be filmed entirely in Australian Aboriginal languages, Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) – that tells of the stolen generation, and many others.

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be bi-weekly presentations on the films and cultural texts as well as feedback reports for the other students. Students will write a paper at the end of the semester. Class discussion will be an important factor.
