Sommario/riassunto

"Making Culture provides an in-depth discussion of Australias relationship between the building of national cultural identity  or nationing  and the countrys cultural production and consumption. With the 1994 national cultural policy Creative Nation as a starting point for many of the essays included in this collection, the book investigates transformations within Australias various cultural fields, exploring the implications of nationing and the gradual movement away from it. Underlying these analyses are the key questions and contradictions confronting any modern nation-state that seeks to develop and defend a national culture while embracing the transnational and the global.Including topics such as Australias publishing industry, rugby, the music industry, tourism, Indigeneity and the influence of digital technology and output, Making Culture is an essential volume for students and scholars within Australian and Cultural studies."--Provided by publisher.
