Cultural Studies Library Resources
What's New?
The Library holdings in Cultural Studies are steadily expanding, covering areas which may have been neglected by previous library purchasing policies.
Two years ago, we took out a subscription to Perfect Beat, a Sydney-based journal with a focus on Pacific Music, 'The Pacific Journal of Research into Contemporary Music and Popular Culture'.
In 2002, we worked with other programmes to take a subscription to a major new Cultural Studies journal, the Journal of Visual Culture.

Also, the University's Macmillan Brown Library is an international-quality research library with extensive holdings of Pacific material, much of it very relevant to Cultural Studies research.
On-line journals well worth checking out include
- Situation Analysis, published out of the Postgraduate School of Critical Theory and Cultural Studies, University of Nottingham .
The focus of the inaugural issue is September 11. - M/C - Media and Culture Issue one in volume six is edited by Jean Burgess, Joy McEntee, and Emma Nelms, and is on "fight":
Countless histories, films, novels, and song lyrics are built around the all-powerful narrative device of the fight - very often the "timeless" fight between good and evil. How is such conflict depicted in the media - in fantasy (The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Buffy, Xena, Star Wars), martial arts cinema (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) or in war films (Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan)? Just as this metaphor is used to urge us forward in the fight against terror, is the epic battle between good and evil beginning to dominate our screens (again)? And do our movie heroes still fight for love?
