In this lecture series we will be looking at transcultural self-/other-representation in general and at particular examples of this topic as found in literary and/or film texts in an Australian and New Zealand context. For one, we will be looking for answers to the question: what do these texts perhaps share in a manner that makes them unique to the Pan-Pacific region? And, following on from this: are there characteristics specific to texts produced in and for 'Australians' as against 'New Zealanders'?
These texts will form the focus of the lecture series:
The Legend of Ned Kelly (film)
The Whale Rider (print)
Rabbit-Proof-Fence (film)
An Angel at My Table (print)
My Place (print)
Samson and Delilah (film) |
