See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject introduces students to Australian literature as a field of study connected to and intersecting with questions of Australian national history, culture, and identity. It draws from a diverse roster of Australian texts, including graphic narratives/webcomics, novels, short stories, personal essays, and literary criticism, that capture the current 'pulse' of Australian writing and publishing, generally. Students will practice transferrable skills such as critical reading, literary comprehension, and interpretation to understand the role Australian literature can and should play in examining political, social, ecological, and cultural issues. Through this process of engagement, inquiry, and reflection, students will consider how this literature operates within the specificity of the Australian national context and connects to broader international concerns.
