Unit Description

This unit explores the history of the Cold War from a cultural perspective, with especial emphasis on the Australian experience. It seeks to provide an understanding of the 'climate of fear' that pervaded the world for over forty years. This will be achieved through the study of literature, film, television, music and other cultural forms from the era. This unit is available at both 300 and 500 level and will have differing assessment requirements at each level. For higher-level students this will include more analytical depth and/or wide research responses.
