This book engages with the place of law and legality within
Australia's distinctive contribution to global televisual culture.
Australian popular culture has created a lasting legacy - for good
or bad - of representations of law, lawyers and justice 'down
under'. Within films and television of striking landscapes, peopled
with heroes, antiheroes, survivors and jokers, there is a fixation
on law, conflicts between legal orders, brutal violence and
survival. Deeply compromised by the ongoing violence against the
lives and laws of First Nation Australians, Australian film and
television has sharply illuminated what it means to live with a
'rule of law' that rules with a legacy, and a reality, of deep
injustice. This book is the first to bring together scholars to
reflect on, and critically engage with, the representations and
global implications of law, lawyers and justice captured through
the lenses of Australian film, television and social media.
Exploring how distinctively Australian lenses capture uniquely
Australian images and narratives, the book nevertheless engages
these in order to provide broader insights into the contemporary
translations and transmogrifications of law and justice.
