This book brings together long-obscured histories to discuss
Australia's cultural, social, and political diversity in depth. The
history of Australia's migrant and minority print media reveals
extensive evidence for the nation's global connectedness, from the
colonial era to today. A fascinating and complex picture of
Australia's long-term transnational ties emerges from the smaller
enterprises of individuals and communities in the distant and more
recent past. This book explores the authentic voices of minority
groups which challenged the dominant experiences, patterns, and
debates that have shaped Australia.
This edited collection invites the reader to enter the diverse
worlds of Australia's migrant and minority communities through the
latest research on the contemporary printed press, spanning the
mid-nineteenth century to our current day. With a focus on the
rare, radical and foreign-language print culture of multiple and
frequently concurrent minority groups' newspaper ventures, this
volume has two overarching aims: firstly to demonstrate how the
local experiences and narratives of such communities are always
forged and negotiated within a context of globalising forces - the
global within the local; and secondly to enrich an understanding of
the complexity of Australian 'voices' through this medium not only
as a means for appreciating how the cultural heritage of such
communities were sustained, but also for exploring their
contributions to the wider society.
Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the
relationship between imperialism and political cartoons,
caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across
both fields (and with contributions from contexts as diverse as
Egypt, Australia, the United States, and China, as well as Europe)
the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and
illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire in
modern times. Some of the finest comic art of the period is
deployed as evidence, and examined seriously, in its own right, for
the first time. Accessible to students of history at all levels,
Comic empires is a major addition to the world-leading 'Studies in
Imperialism' series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and
significant contribution to the ever-growing international field of
comics studies. -- .

This edited volume focuses on the cultural production of knowledge
in the academy as mediated or presented through film and
television. This focus invites scrutiny of how the academy itself
is viewed in popular culture from The Chair to Terry Pratchett's
‘Unseen University’ and Doctor Who's Time Lord Academy
among others. Spanning a number of genres and key film and
television series, the volume is also inherently interdisciplinary
with perspectives from History, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies,
STEM, and more. This collection brings together leading
experts in different disciplines and from different national
backgrounds. It emphasises that even at a point of mass, global
participation in higher education, the academy is still largely
mediated by popular culture and understood through the tropes
perpetuated via a multimedia landscape.

Drawing the Line: Using Cartoons as Historical Evidence brings
together essays from international scholars working with cartoons
in their research and teaching. It is a showcase for some of the
best recent scholarship in this field, with articles exploring
racial and ethnic stereotypes, as well as representations of youth,
gender and class across a number of key historical epochs. Cartoons
are among the most vivid and familiar images of past politics and
opinion, but tend to be used merely as 'illustrations' for
historical works. Drawing the Line, however, provides a
comprehensive introduction to the study of cartoons as sources in
their own right. The British Regency Crisis, post-Civil War US
politics, Anglo-Iraqi interaction in the Second World War, and
Yugoslav Communist propaganda are just some of the themes through
which the effective use of cartoons in historical writing is
explored. Readers will also find guidance and suggestions for
further research on cartoons in the extensive introductory and
concluding sections. The book includes more than one hundred
examples of the most brilliant cartoon art of the past, from
eighteenth-century satirical prints, to the formalised satire of
Punch, to the new and ever-evolving medium of webcomics. It will be
an essential resource for students and teachers wanting to explore
visual representations of the past, and will appeal to all readers
interested in innovative ways of writing history.
