i Making Culture provides an in-depth discussion of Australia's relationship between the building of national cultural identity - or 'nationing' - and the country's cultural production and consumption. With the 1994 national cultural policy Creative Nation as a starting point for many of the essays included in this collection, the book investigates transformations within Australia's various cultural fields, exploring the implications of nationing and the gradual movement away from it. Underlying these analyses are the key questions and contradictions confronting any modern nation-state that seeks to develop and defend a national culture while embracing the transnational and the global. Including topics such as publishing, sport, music, tourism, art, Indigeneity, television, heritage and the influence of digital technology and output, Making Culture is an essential volume for students and scholars within Australian and Cultural Studies.

Cory Rawson isn't a big place. Some will insist it isn't even a place. But Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback [Ben Roethlisberger] says otherwise. It's listed as his hometown now, which I guess is a way for him to flip the middle digit at some folks in Findlay, his old hometown, who haven't been real supportive lately. ([Homer Dibley] explains that six people have died since the '94 election, when even Mrs. Dibley voted for [Irma Shelhorn]. He lists four natural deaths, one accidental, and one homicide, which was how Irma became the Widow Shelhorn, although nobody informed the county sheriff because old Ralph, Irma's husband, drank some and was just rotten to the core.) \"He's a jerk,\" the mayor said, pressing a cold glass of sweet tea against her forehead. \"I understand the drinkin', but that stuff with the girls, hell, even Ralph never did nothin' like that. And Ben 'purt near killed himself on that motorbike once too. And now, worst of all, he turned his back on his roots. I bet Findlay don't want him no more either. I know we don't, for dadgum sure.\"
