  • Narelle Gee Thesis
    MAINTAINING OUR RAGE: INSIDE AUSTRALIA’S LONGEST-RUNNING MUSIC VIDEO PROGRAM. By Narelle Gee BA/DipEd (University of NSW) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries) School of Media, Entertainment, Creative Arts, Film, Screen and Animation Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Key Words ABC Music Television Alternative Music Music Videos Australian Broadcasting Corporation Popular Music Australian Cultural Industries Production Cultures Australian Television Public Service Broadcasting Creative Labour rage Cultural Production Television Broadcasting Media Culture Television Production Music Industry TV Programs 2 Abstract The thesis, “Maintaining our rage: inside Australia’s longest-running music video program”, takes a reflective and reflexive narrative journey across the decades of rage, from its 1987 creation through to the program’s current incarnation, providing unique insider perspectives and affordances. Australia’s longest-running music video program is also, arguably, the most sustained such program globally (Bodey, 2012; Helper, 2012). Despite its longevity, there has been scarce scholarly analysis of rage, and of what has underpinned its unusual endurance; many music video programs have come and gone during the program’s long-held tenure. How has rage survived the vicissitudes of network programming – particularly within the capricious space of music video programming - and maintained its cultural place and role, for more than a quarter of a century? The significance of this research is that it explores rage’s unusual durability, examines the program’s unique elements, and answers three key research questions: What has been the history of rage as a program and a cultural entity? What has been the cultural significance of rage? How did rage create a shift within the music industry ecology of Australia? This thesis presents an insider’s account of rage, exploring it within its ABC TV and public broadcasting context.

  • ONE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS Go to to View the Drive
    DRIVE PRESS KIT ONE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS The biggest killer of young people aged 10 – 24, worldwide is car crashes. The southern most state of Tasmania lays claim to Australia’s highest rate of road fatality. Young men are dying in high speed, single vehicle crashes, on lonely rural roads. Drive is a film about the darker side of emerging Australian culture; about every young man's quest and struggle to understand his insides. Turn seventeen and gain your license. Turn eighteen and gain the legal right to drink alcohol. Drive is about more than manhood, it is about a cultural addiction to destruction. Go to www.drive.org.au to view the Drive trailer ONE PAGE SYNOPSIS Young men are dying in high speed, single vehicle crashes, crumpled in metal coffins, on lonely rural roads. Why do the die? Why do they live? Speed is hypnotic. Risk is freedom. Cars can become weapons. The biggest killer of young men in Australia is car crashes. The state with the highest rate of road fatalities is the island of Tasmania. DRIVE is a film about Australian cultural identity. It is about the rites of passage young men face on their journey to adulthood - gaining a driver’s license and the legal right to drink alcohol. Scattered across the picturesque North West Coast of Tasmania are memorials to those who have died on the roads. These sites are often well maintained over many years by those who can’t forget. Shrouded in the grief that’s tearing communities apart are the young men’s peers, still grappling with their own future and identity.
