SBS and the Politics of Language
Ien Ang

This talk will look at the way SBS has put multilingualism into 
practice, focusing on the divergent language practices of radio and 
television.  I describe the cultural impact of radio multilingualism 
in terms of the multicultural politics of recognition, while SBS 
television's multilingualism articulates a cosmopolitanising politics 
of translation.  In this way, SBS is represented as a crucial 
institution for the articulation of a 'cosmopolitan multiculturalism'.

The seminar will be introduced by Gay Hawkins, who will place the 
talk in the context of our ARC Linkage project SBS and Australian 
Cultural Democracy: Origins, Uses, Innovation (aka the "SBS Impacts" 
project).

Ien Ang is Professor of Cultural Studies and ARC Professorial Fellow 
at the Centre for Cultural Research, University of Western Sydney.
