![]() | Boundary Writing: An Exploration of Race, Culture, and Gender Binaries in Contemporary Australia Subjects: Ethnology -- Australia; Ethnic groups -- Australia; Minorities -- Australia; Group identity -- Australia; Pluralism (Social sciences) -- Australia; Australia -- Race relations; Australia -- Ethnic relations; Have globalization and the emergence of virtual cultures reduced cultural diversity? Will the world become homogenized or Americanized? Boundary Writing sets out to demonstrate that this oversimplification denies the reality that today there is greater space for cultural diversity than ever before. It explores the desire to categorize individuals and collectivities into racial, ethnic, gender, and sexuality categories (black and white, men and women, gay and straight), which is a feature of most Western societies. More specifically, it analyzes the boundaries and edges of these categories and concepts.
