Celebrating the Nation offers the first major critical
retrospective on Australia's Bicentenary. The editors have
collected a series of essays focusing on the different ways in
which 1988 was celebrated. From the soccer Gold Cup to literary
commissions, from Expo 88 to the Travelling Exhibition and the
Stockman's Hall of Fame, it examines the cultural and ideological
frameworks which shaped the discourses and rhetoric of those
celebrations. The contributors also put the Australian Bicentenary
of 1988 in historical and international perspective, comparing the
celebrations of 1988 with earlier Australian anniversary
celebrations, and with recent national celebrations in France,
Canada and the United States. Drawing on the findings of a major
research project organised by the Institute for Cultural Policy
Studies at Griffith University, Celebrating the Nation provides a
provocative and insightful analysis of the cultural and political
processes through which modern nations organise and symbolise their
histories and identities.
