Nation; Culture; Text: Australian Cultural and Media Studies is the first collection of cultural studies from Australia; selected and introduced for an international readership.Participating in the `de-centring of cultural studies - considering what perspectives other than the European and the American have to offer - the contributors raise important issues about the role of a national tradition of critical theory; and about the cultural specificity of theory itself.A key theme is the place of the postcolonial nation within contemporary cultural theory - particularly those aspects of contemporary theory which see the category of contemporary theory which see the category of the nation as either outdated or suspect. The writers tackle subjects ranging from the televising of the Bicentennial to the role of policy in film; television and the heritage industry; from the use of video technologies with remote Aboriginal communities to the role of ethnography in cultural studies.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is some of the bestBy Thadius LambertThis is some the best work that describes what bohm was about within his own words; and how his personality and kindness could make anyone describe him as a friend. If you are able to pick this book up for under fifty dollars it would be well worth it.
