Пълно описание

The foundation of the Australian nation was §unspectacular: the Commonwealth of Australia came §into being with the stroke of a pen on a summer s §day in 1901. At the time of federation, the majority §of Australians was of British heritage and the §mother country was by many still considered home . §With no foundation myth or unique defining history §or culture to resort to, how could Australians forge §a national identity? Nadine Kavanagh presents strong §evidence that, surprising as it may be, §encyclopaedias played an important role in the §Australian nation building process. Contrary to §their objective appearance, encyclopaedias have the §power, along with other cultural, artistic and §educational products, to subtly control and, §paradoxically, to change the societies which §produced them. Like Prospero, encyclopaedists appear §to conjure new realities. Kavanagh argues that the §Australian Encyclopaedia, published in 1925/26 by §Angus & Robertson in Sydney, was a cultural product §with an agenda: to fill the conceptual void left by §the unspectacular foundation of the Australian §nation.
