SUMMARY:Place Representation and Music Geography: Australia and Midnight Oil
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThis session explores the lyrical content of the music of Midnight Oil\, an Australian rock band active for more than 40 years\, as a strategy to illuminate the varied political\, social\, and environmental landscapes of Australia. The band’s lyrics use place names\, evocative place description\, and Australian vernacular terms to create for the listener an understanding of Australia\, that though still limited to the experience of the band themselves\, is fuller and more complete than portrayed in much popular culture. A simple mapping exercise of Aboriginal population is included as part of the inquiry. The content of this session follows from a recent paper published in the Journal of Cultural Geography. \nSession Focus\nMiddle School/Junior High | World/International| Music Geography\, Australia \nConference Room\nClark \nMeet the Presenter\nJerry T.
