Popular Cultures and Social Change: Case Studies from Rural Queensland

两名APAI学生将根据选定的案例研究昆士兰农村/地区流行文化参与和表演的模式。这项研究将与昆士兰博物馆和昆士兰国家图书馆合作进行。两个独立但互补的博士课题将分析流行文化的不同形式，以及20世纪60年代至70年代和90年代至今的重大社会变革时期农村/地区的对比。这项研究将审查影响昆士兰农村/地区新旧流行文化形式的主要动态，以及流行文化在特性和社区建设中的作用。

Two APAI students will study patterns of popular cultural participation and performance in rural/regional Queensland based on selected case studies. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the Queensland Museum and the State Library of Queensland. Two independent but complementary PhD topics will analyse contrasting forms of popular culture and contrasting rural/regional places across periods of major social change in the 1960s-70s and 1990s-present. The research will examine the major dynamics affecting old and new forms of popular culture in rural/regional Queensland and the role of popular cultures in identity and community building.
