Cross-Cultural Adaptation and the Transition toward Reconciliation in Australian Film and Literature, Samantha Fordham , single work essay criticism

'This chapter critically examines the challenges of cross-cultural narrative adaptation at a time of significant socio-political transition. The tragic story of the shooting deaths of two Indigenous youths in a remote South Australian fishing town in the 1970s became inspiration for Phillip Gwynne's debut novel Deadly Unna? (1998). The novel was a fictionalised account of his own experiences growing up in the area and was well received, winning a prestigious Children's Book Council of Australia award in 1999. It was later adapted for the screen by Paul Goldman, under the title Australian Rules (2002).' (Source: Introduction, Samantha Fordham 2011)

A Pocket of Change in Post-War Australia : Confectionery and the End of Childhood, Toni Risson , single work criticism essay

'...This chapter does not look specifically at textual adaptations, it uses two texts - Saturdee, a novel by Norman Lindsay published in 1934, and Anthony Kimmins's classic Australian film Smiley, released in 1956 - to examine shifts in children's status as consumers. Primarily, however, it concerns itself with the cultural transition that took place in Australia after World War Two.' (Source: Introduction, Toni Risson, 2011)
