Publishers Description: Foreword by Meaghan Morris (leading cultural studies expert)In the Vernacularbrings together important writing over a twenty year period from one of Australias leading scholars of media, culture and policy. This insightful book engages with the notion of Australias lack of a sense of cultural history, and the ways in which critical engagement with it do not complement or reinforce each other. It reflects upon Australias still-neglected film heritage, the achievements of Australian television in recent decades and engages with the global debate on multi-ethnic societies. In the Vernacularpresents this history to the present, exploring the ideas that industrial and social trends in media, communications and culture are outstripping the frameworks that were erected to deal with them.
