Australia is a country that captures the imagination of many in the western world, with a visibility that belies its small population and limited impact in world affairs. In this program, we ask why this is, focusing on both the myths Australians hold dear and the stories others tell about them. In particular, classes will be examining what invoking an “authentic” Australia might mean, both to Australians and others, and focusing on particular incarnations of Australian identity: members of the commonwealth; the legacy of post WWII European immigration; Australia as an Asian country; and Aboriginal Australia (with a focus on the issues raised by the report on the Stolen Generations and responses to it).
