Description

Sexuality, 'race', land and environment are investigated by examining the mythology of the Australian frontier which was largely a cultural creation heavily influenced by the myth of the West in United States historical writing, literature and film. To deconstruct this mythology, a more historically complex picture of the colonisation of the Australian continent will be explored. The themes of sexuality, race, gender and class inform this course throughout.
