    Another important scene illustrates the notion of egalitarianism when Laurie, Darryl and Danny appear outside the High Court. The humour in the language is used by Darryl which typifies the Aussie accent and idiomatic style, which enhances the audience’s understanding of the voice of egalitarianism and mate ship. This is shown when Darryl says “suffer in your…

    The ‘Australian Voice’ is a distinct concept which incorporates the ideas, values and perspectives that are unique to Australian individuals. A ‘voice’ is a representation of one’s experiences which shape their identity, culture, history and beliefs. Carmel Bird’s non-fiction text Stolen Generation: Their Stories effectively portrays the members of the Stolen Generation whose experiences are illustrated through personal narratives as well as objective reports. The stories about racial discrimination, forced separation, indignity and humiliation, and the loss of cultural identity are emotionally revealed by the Aboriginal people whose ‘voices’ are upheld by the composer of the text. The text upholds a range of Australian values which include compassion, understanding, forgiveness, egalitarianism, and ultimately, the desire for reconciliation, which is the main message voiced by the text.…

    Jack Davis has used dialogue between the characters in this extract to privilege a postcolonial reading of the text. Davis uses dialogue in order to construct a world in which the aboriginal people can be identified to the audience as an ill-treated, oppressed race. Davis uses dialogue to represent how the colonized react to the social situations in which they were subjugated to, on a regular basis in the early times of colonization. “CISSIE: Aw mum, Old Tony the ding always sells us little shriveled ones and them wetjala kids big fat one.” Through this dialogue the audience identifies that society at the time did not allow the colonized to be classed as the same standard as the colonizer. Davis lends this text to a postcolonial reading through the use of characterization.…

    The unbalanced superiority that white males in authority exert over the Aboriginal community is distressingly evident in this realist play. Davis has succeeded in revealing to the viewer the way in which marginalised groups are forced to collude with the individuals in dominance. Those characters that consent to this collusion, such as Sam Millimurra and Billy, survive; yet lose something else that is of equal importance – their voice and their cultural identity. The character of Jimmy Millimurra, in contrast, shows how those who refuse to conform and risk losing their freedom and way of life, pay the ultimate price; a downfall which is brought about because of the world of unequal power relations in which they…

    It is about the brutal story of 15-year-old May Gibson, an indigenous girl from the Top End who, after her mother commits suicide, is taken in by her aunty and finds herself swamped by feckless violence. When May's brother disappears into his own hell, she begins wandering into the world to find herself and her father, searching from Waterloo and Redfern's Block, to Lake Cowal and the Lachlan River in central NSW, and a mission in Eubalong. In the chapter ‘Wantok’ May and Johnny travel around having fun and escaping ‘with each other’. He tells her about life on the islands and they imagine they are there. She in turn takes him to her mum’s country, ‘the lake’, and they imagine the tribal life. She realises the important thing is family. She is ‘wantok’, his ‘black girl ally’. She says she is like her brother and replies he is her brother. In this chapter, there are techniques that show May’s acceptance for who she is and suggests that she belongs to Johnny, demonstrating his acceptance of her identity. “…We scramble up the palms…We run down to the rocky beaches…We fish all day…We read the ocean…We beachcomb for turtle…We visit other islands… We dance with palm branches… We rest…” The repetition of “We” demonstrates May’s sense of belonging to Johnny – through their imaginations and attachment to the natural world they are connected. This makes the responder feel a sense of happiness as May is going through a violent childhood and finally has someone to have fun with, bringing back her innocence. The mixture of dialects in “Johnny says I am his wantok, his black girl ally” portrays May’s sense of being between two worlds. She still holds on to the culture of her ancestors, but is displaced and lives in a different world. Emphasises her Aboriginality and reminds the responder that she is searching for a connection to land and her own people. This mix of…

    The Castle

    Australia has the terrible condition of having an essentially pointless and prefabricated idea of "Aussiness" that really has no relation to our real culture or the way in which we really see ourselves. We, however subscribe to these stereotypes when trying to find some expression of our Australian identity. The feature film, The Castle, deals with issues about Australian identity in the 1990's. The film uses techniques like camera shots, language and the use of narration to develop conflict between a decent, old fashioned suburban family, the Kerrigans and an unscrupulous corporation called Airlink. Feature films like The Castle are cultural products because they use attitudes, values and stereotypes about what it means to be Australian.…

    Australian Identity

    • 1628 Words

    Australian identity refers to how a country is depicted as a whole whilst encompassing its culture, traditions, language and politics. Australia is the smallest, youngest continent with the lowest population density, which often struggles to define its national identity. As Australia originates from British descent, it lacks originality in culture and heritage. One aspect as portrayed by Tim Winton in his narrative style article Tide of Joy is an Australian identity revolving around summer by the sea with family. Danny Katz emphasises the difference between those considered ‘worthy’ of celebrating Australia Day and those that do not meet the criteria in his editorial Aussie, Aussie, Aussie? No, No, No. These two texts help to define the open-ended question of, ‘How do we define Australian identity?’ However, the texts both represent a narrow range of individuals in Australian society and therefore by reading these two texts alone, it is a rather biased view of the Australian stereotype.…

    Many films based upon a historical event exhibits accuracy on ideas of cultural identity. Baz Luhrmann controversial film Australia is based on two historical moments in Australian history, the Darwin bombings and the Stolen Generation. Aimed at an international audience, the film incorporates both events in two different story lines. For decades, people have come to understand what Australia’s true notions of identity are. Australia reinforces these traditional concepts of a fighting spirit, mateship, upholding of beliefs, the Indigenous heritage, Australian ‘outback/bush’ and their egotistic behaviour through the use of some of the many filmic codes and conventions including camera angles, audio and symbolism.…

    The Castle Film Analysis

    I think one of the main messages about Australia conveyed in The castle is the fact that Australians are not terribly materialistic and in general are quite simplistic. They appreciate the simple positive things in life no matter how unimportant or visually unappealing they may be to others. Darryl Kerrigan views the world in a unique way. He looks at the humming…
