Keynote speakers and presenters on the program:
Prof Alan McKee Saturday 26 May:
“Satan is a cute, gym-fit brunette with a rakish Scottish accent and way too much education.
His name is Alan McKee and he’s one of those evil intellectuals who reckon soap operas should be studied alongside Shakespeare in schools.
The 35-year-old Brisbane associate professor also gets government grants to study dirty movies and reckons banning children from watching television is child abuse.
Like I said, Satan.
He’d be ripe for smiting if only: (a) he wasn’t quite so charming and (b) he didn’t make quite so much sense.
McKee is the editor of Beautiful Things in Popular Culture, an excellent new collection of academic essays that risks the Australian version of a fatwa by suggesting that so-called trash culture is worthy of serious study.”
