摘要：In this collection of essays Stuart Cunningham, a public intellectual who has been active
from the early 1980s as a researcher, cultural critic and policy worker, provides valuable
snapshots of central debates about Australian culture, its economy, its aesthetic value and
the politics of its support. Cunningham¡¯s ability to recognise unproductive conflicts
between different intellectual and political camps and to chart a viable course between
them has helped him succeed, as Meaghan Morris points out in her foreword, in the
careful work of institution-building realised in Queensland University of Technology¡¯s
¡®Creative Industries Precinct¡¯. In the Vernacular demonstrates the intellectual
groundwork both inside and outside academic cultural studies that underpins this
institutional accomplishment.
