Australian Popular Culture by Ian Craven

Australian Popular Culture by Ian Craven

Australia's leisure culture is legendary, and as millions of British viewers of Neighbours, fans of Yothu Yindi or drinkers of Castlemaine XXXX would attest, Australian popular culture is popular outside of Australia. Australian Popular Culture is an exciting collection of essays bringing together new perspectives on the nature and meaning of a nation's changing life. The collection also explores the idea of popular culture at large. Leading authors represent a range of approaches, backgrounds and fields to explore subjects of wide interest within the categories of 'the everyday', 'the mass media' and 'critical theory'. Chapters are devoted to the Aussie Back Yard; Vegemite; postage stamps; Australian Rules football; the introduction of television; Crocodile Dundee; The Lindy Chamberlain Affair; Spycatcher; Domesticity, leisure and love and Postmodernism and Australian Culture.

Ian Craven teaches Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow. His research interests include Australian cinema and television, and film technology, as well as British amateur cinema. His edited publications include Australian Popular Culture (Cambridge University Press, 1994), and Australian Cinema in The 1990s (Frank Cass, 2001), and he has authored articles dealing with postcolonial screen culture, transnational television drama, and the theory and practice of area studies, which have appeared in journals including Australian Studies, Antipodes, Continuum and Studies in Australasian Cinema. Until 2002, he acted as editor of Australian Studies, the journal of the British Australian Studies Association. He is currently completing a study of the South Australian Film Corporation, and a forthcoming monograph on British amateur cinema in the 1930s.
