UniSA Justice & Society
To enable students to understand how critical, media and creative discourses shape our interpretation of historical moments in shaping national identity, through a focus on specific legal cases that have reached public attention.
Students will develop and build upon knowledge and understanding of theories of nationhood, mythology, trauma and historical memory, the role of discourse in shaping national identity, the role of public intellectuals and mainstream media, case studies on key moments in Australian society that fractured or enhanced ideas of nationhood, including Tampa, Cronulla Riots, Port Arthur Massacre, Chamberlain case, and Palm Island murder. Criminal cases (from Kelly to Underbelly), natural disasters (Ash Wednesday, Victorian bushfires, Queensland floods), national anxieties (children, land, and belonging).
