Reflections on ANZAC Day: From One Millennium
to the Next
Edited by Anne-Marie Hede and Ruth Rentschler
Victoria University and Deakin University Melbourne, Australia
In 2006, the Academy of Social Sciences Australia, with Deakin
University and the Bowater Trust, funded the workshop entitled 'ANZAC
Day in the New Millennium'. In the years immediately prior to the
workshop, ANZAC Day events had attracted much attention in the media.
Increasingly large numbers of attendees at the commemorative services,
both in Australia and overseas, signified a new era for ANZAC Day-as a
cultural icon, as an event and as a day of national commemoration.
While 2015-the centenary of the Gallipoli landing-seemed like such a
long way into the future, it was thought that it was timely to
consider the future of ANZAC Day, and an intensive workshop bring
together many different perspectives was one way of doing this. As
such, the aim of the workshop was to bring together experts, from a
range of disciplines, to discuss and analyse ANZAC Day, and to
consider its future. While we were keen to gather insights into the
future of the day, we recognised that we also needed to look into its
past-to understand how its meaning developed and how it has been
experienced since its inauguration.
