BATCC2001 Literary and Screen Genres
This course involves an in-depth examination of screen and literary genres which may include noir, fantasy, science fiction, melodrama, gothic, horror and/or comedy, as well as their derivatives and variations. Topics may include the thematic, stylistic and narrative conventions of a particular genre; its intended emotional effect; the historical development of the genre; and the wider social, cultura land economic contexts which have impacted on the production and reception of texts within the genre. Throughout the course we will engage with contemporary film and literary theory in order to explore how a range of social issues, such as gender, race, class, sexuality and violence, are represented and/or commented upon in selected texts.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
