ENGL361: Writing Colonial Culture in Australia |
This unit explores some questions about how literature functions as the social memory of a nation. How does it register the making of place and identity in a newly encountered world? How was the conflicted terrain and violence of the colonial enterprise negotiated textually? This unit looks closely at a range of different kinds of writing by different writers: English officers, convict men and women, bushmen, upperclass women suffragists, Aboriginal petitioners and contemporary rewritings.
