National Fictions is a study of Australian literature and film. It
is also a study of Australian culture, viewing the novels and films
as products of a specific culture - as narratives with similar
structures, functions, forms and meanings. It covers a wide range
of texts, offering both close analysis and an account of their
place within the system of meanings the book proposes as dominant
in Australian culture. The second edition of this influential work
includes a new Afterword which traces recent changes in Australian
literature and film, examining the growth of women's writing and
popular fiction, as well as current trends in Australian cinema.
Turner asks whether these developments really mark a shift in the
Australian narrative, and whether it is still possible to speak in
terms of a national culture. '.a ground-clearing book. a seminal
work, setting an agenda for cultural studies beyond the stockyards
and croquet lawns of literary criticism.' - David Carter,
Australian Literary Studies 'As a global syncretist, Turner is
without peer.' - Stuart Cunningham, Media Information Australia
