Imagining the Antipodes - Culture, Theory and the Visual in the Work of Bernard Smith (Hardcover, New)

Bernard Smith is widely recognised as one of Australia's leading
intellectuals. Yet the recognition of his work has been partial,
focused on art history and anthropology. Peter Beilharz argues that
Smith's work also contains a social theory, or a way of thinking
about Australian culture and identity in the world system. Smith
enables us to think matters of place and cultural imperialism
through the image of being not Australian so much as antipodean.
Australian identities are constructed by the relationship between
core and periphery, making them both European and Other at the same
time. This 1997 work is a book-length analysis of Bernard Smith's
work and is the result of careful and systematic research into
Smith's published works and his private papers. It is both an
introduction to Smith's thinking and an important interpretive
argument about imperialism and the antipodes.
