2017
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This interdisciplinary subject brings together history, literature, archaeology, mythology, sociology, journalism and cultural studies so that students can better understand the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. Students learn about the long history of the Gallipoli peninsula and surrounding landscape. The subject examines the peninsula as a locus of conflict for over three thousand years and positions the Anzac Campaign within the much greater mythical, historical, political and cultural context. Throughout the subject students will be asked to analyse, interpret and synthesise historical, literary, cultural and material evidence from ancient Greece, the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, France and other Allied nations.This subject will shed light on the lesser told stories about the Gallipoli Campaign so students have a better understanding of this very important event in Australia's history and why it has become part of the nation's collective imagination.
