Imagining the Antipodes: Culture, Theory and the Visual in the Work of Bernard S

Description: Imagining the Antipodes by Peter Beilharz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book analyses Bernard Smiths work and is the result of careful and systematic research into Smiths published works and his private papers. Publisher Description Bernard Smith is widely recognised as one of Australias leading intellectuals. Yet the recognition of his work has been partial, focused on art history and anthropology. Peter Beilharz argues that Smiths 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 is the first book-length analysis of Bernard Smiths work and is the result of careful and systematic research into Smiths published works and his private papers. It is both an introduction to Smiths thinking and an important interpretive argument about imperialism and the antipodes.
