CUL301: Unassimilable Bodies: UnAustralian Cultural Studies |
In this unit, we discuss a range of embodied subjects that stand in a relation of crisis and dissent to dominant Australian culture. We examine: Australia's refugee crisis; the moral and cultural panic generated by the ethnic descriptor 'of Middle Eastern appearance'; the power of whiteness; the racialisation of criminality and the prison industry; the politics and poetics of unassimilable bodies;
queer ethnic bodies and intercultural desire; buried histories of internment; Indigenous life-writing and the cultural politics of counter-histories; and diaspora and the poetics of anger. These topics are examined in the context of film, documentaries and literary culture.
