About the Authors
  • Culture in Australia offers an incisive and up-to-date examination of the forces that are reshaping Australian cultural priorities, policies and practices at the start of the twenty-first century. Drawing on the work of some of Australia's leading cultural analysts, its concerns range broadly across the cultural sector encompassing art and heritage institutions, publishing, broadcasting, tourism, museums, the music industry, film and youth cultures.

    •  A tight editorial structure makes this book an ideal survey of the topic
    • Very best contributors, with some major contributions from Bennett (Open University), Frow (Edinburgh), Thomas (London) and Miller (New York)
