Nation, Culture, Text: Australian Cultural and Media Studies

"Nation, Culture, Text" is the first collection of work in cultural studies from Australia, selected and introduced for an international readership. Participating in the de-centering' of cultural studies--considering what perspectives non-Europeans or Americans have to offer--the contributors raise important issues about the role of a national tradition of critical theory, and about the cultural specificity of theory itself. Contributors: Tony Bennett, Stuart Cunningham, Ross Gibson, Pam Gilbert, Helen Grace, Ian Hunter, Elizabeth Jacka, Eric Michaels, Meaghan Morris, Virginia Nightingale, Tom O'Regan, Noel Sanders, John and Marian Tulloch.
