AUST 3001 - Art of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Studies: Belonging & Diversity in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2021

This is the capstone course in the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Studies major. Students will explore a range of works of art in various forms to gain an understanding of the ways in which contemporary authors of fiction, plays and makers of film art represent and express ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n indigeneity, negotiate cross-cultural tensions and offer questions about the nature of belonging and multi-cultural subjectivities in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. Students will examine a range of works of contemporary literature, theatre and cinema, including that of Tony Ayers, Tony Birch, Jack Davis, Wesley Enoch, Melissa Lucashenko, Nakkiah Lui, Leah Purcell, John Romeril, Christos Tsiolkas, Alexis Wright and others. Students will have the opportunity to devise and undertake a major research essay on a topic of their choosing under supervision and/ or to produce a work of creative practice upon approval of the convenor. This course consolidates and extends students? understanding of interdisciplinary enquiry in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Studies and facilitates students in pursuing their own independent research project and creative practice.
