Koorie literature

This subject will provide students with an analytical insight into the role of Koorie literature to the maintenance of Koorie culture. This subject will allow students to study the works of Australian Indigenous playwrights, authors, poets and film-makers. Further it will provide an historical comparison of the Indigenous Australian as portrayed by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The literature that students examine will provide a focus for students into the culture and lifestyle of Indigenous Australians. The subject should attract students interested in Indigenous Australian issues from journalism, history, politics, and also students interested in the study of literature.
