Making Culture provides an in-depth discussion of Australia’s
relationship between the building of national cultural identity – or
‘nationing’ – and the country’s 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 Australia’s 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 publishing,
sport, music, tourism, art, Indigeneity, television, heritage and the
influence of digital technology and output, Making Culture is an
essential volume for students and scholars within Australian and
Cultural studies.
