For History Week 2021, join in on this insight talk with Amanda Laugesen as she explores how swearing and attitudes to swearing have developed historically, contributing to the emergence of Australian identities.
From the earthy language of convicts, bad language has flourished exuberantly in the Australian soil. Australians have often regarded their capacity to swear as revealing something about their 'Australianness'.
As director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre, Amanda Laugesen's repertoire of bad language is more extensive than most bullockies or rugby players.
She will also explore and raises questions about the power of bad language, about offensiveness and taking offence and about the uses of language in shaping gendered, racialised and class-based identities. Bad language both stigmatises and liberates.
This is a free and online event. Registrations are essential. REGISTER NOW
This event is a part of History Week 2021 #fromthegroundup, organised by the History Council NSW.
Hosted by Blackheath History Forum.
