Form is essential to capturing an author’s unique cultural experiences. In turn, this allows the reader to better understanding the society that the text comes from. This is explored in Rob Sitch’s the Castle, and it’s representation of gender, class and racial perspectives.

Form is essential to capturing an author’s unique cultural experience. In turn, this allows the reader to better understand the society that the text comes from. This is explored in Henry Lawson's Penguin Short Stories, and it’s representation of stoicism, nihilism, and alcoholism.

[Teagan Ayre]

Through the author’s stylistic form of writing and the time in which ‘The Drover’s Wife’ was written, Henry Lawson captures his unique cultural perspective in relation to the Australian culture of gender. This further allows the audience to understand the stereotypes of gender in society which this text was composed compared to modern society.

The specific form and features of a text contribute greatly to the way in which unique cultural experiences are explored. As a result, the audience is often able to gain a deeper insight into the way texts pervade and influence society.

Text’s form explore cultural perspectives by affirming and challenging the unique cultural identity through language techniques. This is evident through the play Summer of the Seventeenth Doll which captures the unique cultural perspectives of Australia in the 1950's. The cultural perspectives where women were expected to get married and men were expected to work are explored through looking at women in the workplace, mateship and masculinity. Thus, the form of play is used to communicate cultural perspectives of Australia in the 1950’s.

Rob sitch's seminal film The Castle utilizes its unique film standpoint to capture and inform audiences on the unique Australian cultural identity to which includes the laid back nature of the stereotypical Australians, the stereotypical Aussie Battler and the conflict of the Australian batter and the government identity.

Unique Cultural perspectives are highly influential by the text Summer of the Seventeenth Doll (SOSD). The text conveys values of individuality and collectiveness capturing the unique cultural values of working-class individuals in Australians in the 1950s. Lawler utilises the context in order to reveal the roles of both men and women in a working-class society. This is challenged as the ageing group of members must come to term with their changing circumstances, re-evaluating their goals, expectations and relationships.

The form is essential to capturing an author’s unique cultural experiences in One Night the Moon to convey a deeper understanding of how people can change their attitudes towards people and place. The film techniques are utilized to highlight the blatant racism towards the Aboriginal Culture and how much it varies from person to person. Rachel Perkins helps the audience observe the environment of outback Australia in the 1800’s thereby allowing them to empathize better with the discriminated and appreciate how much Australia has changed since then

Form proves to have a significant effect upon capturing unique cultural perspectives. Through Ali Cobby Eckermann’s “Inside My Mother”, various elements of identity is explored through elaborating the surrounding ideas of Aboriginal identity.

The musical, One Night the Moon written by Racheal Perkins explores a unique culture perspective through gender, race and age. The form of this text emphasises the perspective of both the Aboriginal people and the post- colonial Europeans. This also allows the viewer to become a part of the text as they can relate to one or more of the cultures in the musical.

The humorous and ironic way in which the play Pygmalion is written, denotes the contextual background of England in the 1700's. Through the use of political satire, dramatic irony and characterisation Bernard Shaw, creates a play which delves into his personal perspectives of the culture of the era and innocently mocks the etiquette, characteristics and desirability of the social classes at the time.

Form and diction are critical when capturing an author’s cultural experience. Consequently, it allows the reader to better understand the struggles and idiosyncrasies of individuals in a society, despite belonging to a cultural group. This is explored throughout Maureen Ten’s poem ‘Translucent Jade’ and Merlinda Bobis’ poem ‘This is Where it begins’ as the reader is able to understand the complexities of identity as the personal struggle or find comfort in a cultural group and the connection to ancestors.

Form is important in capturing an author’s unique cultural experience, this therefore helps us gain a better understanding of the society around us. Within Adam Aitken, Kim Cheng Boey, Michelle Cahill Asian Australian Contemporary Poetry, there is a clear representation of the collective and the individual identity.
