This unit exposes students to a range of 'global voices' that have been largely excluded from the cultural mainstream, and examines questions about the interaction of culture and power. The unit crosses literary borders by engaging with dynamic texts in the form of spoken word, moving image, and recorded sound, to explore questions of colonisation and decolonisation; cultural identity and cultural change; migration and diaspora; belonging and exclusion. Students will be introduced to some key theoretical approaches for analysing these issues.
1. Critically analyse globally diverse texts (in various forms) in relation to questions of power and cultural identity;
2. Apply key theoretical frameworks to the analysis of diverse texts; and
3. Articulate a reflective understanding of some of the key cultural impacts of colonisation, decolonisation, and migration.
2. UC graduates are global citizens - think globally about issues in their profession
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - be self-aware
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - reflect on their own practice, updating and adapting their knowledge and skills for continual professional and academic development
2. UC graduates are global citizens - understand issues in their profession from the perspective of other cultures
2. UC graduates are global citizens - adopt an informed and balanced approach across professional and international boundaries
1. UC graduates are professional - communicate effectively
4. UC graduates are able to demonstrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing - communicate and engage with Indigenous Australians in ethical and culturally respectful ways
4. UC graduates are able to demonstrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing - use Indigenous histories and traditional ecological knowledge to develop and augment understanding of their discipline
