| Description: |
In this survey of Australian cultural life in the 1990s, McKenzie Wark asks if the various fronts of the culture wars might be connected to each other, and connected also to a wider question of what it means to talk about a possible Australian republic. |
| Synopsis: |
Culture has become a contested zone. Media attention has thrust into the limelight a host of cultural issues, ranging from political correctness to multiculturalism, postmodernism and a range of Australian writers, such as David Williamson, Helen Garner, Helen Demidenko/Darville, Les Murray and Manning Clark. In this wide-ranging survey of Australian cultural life in the 1990s, McKenzie Wark asks if the various fronts of the culture wars, in literature, higher education and the media, might be connected to each other, and connected also to a wider question of what it means to talk about a possible Australian republic. |
