ABSTRACT

The Great Court is the symbolic heart of the University of Queensland and denotes its membership as one of Australia's 'sandstone' universities. It hosts an annual footrace modelled on the event in Cambridge depicted in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire and the cloisters provide a picturesque backdrop for photos of gowned graduates and weekend bridal parties as well as at least one locally produced Karaoke DVD. More than this however, the Great Court is the place where the University's history and authority coalesces and is amplified. Architecture, space, and a myriad of visual signifiers combine to declare the institution's power at least in aspirational terms. Courting Blakness stands boldly within this hegemonic space and asks important questions of its culture.
