Cate Blanchett, like most Australians, thinks she’s middle class. An expert on class explains why that matters

Cate Blanchett, whose net worth is estimated at A$140 million, has described herself as “middle class” – unwittingly unleashing a furore.

Key Points: 
  • Cate Blanchett, whose net worth is estimated at A$140 million, has described herself as “middle class” – unwittingly unleashing a furore.
  • Studies have long shown that Australians tend to overly claim to be middle class when ranked by income, regardless of whether they fall below or above “the middle”.
  • Some have suggested this is because identifying as middle class sits comfortably with being “average” or “ordinary”.

What is ‘middle class’ anyway?

  • In everyday life, however, more established ways of thinking and feeling about class continue to carry weight.
  • Some people continue to claim the class identity of their childhood, despite inhabiting a differently classed world as an adult.
  • Blanchett’s class origin may have been middle class, but her class destination – the one she currently inhabits within the 1% – is certainly not.

Why does it matter?

  • This shifts attention from the unequal distribution of resources in society, which contributes significantly to who gets ahead.
  • People on either side of the divide become unable to perceive the extent of the gulf that separates their lives from others.
  • This perception gap is one reason why some advocate for more opportunities to enable people to study, live and work alongside others from different class backgrounds.

Confronting class

  • Blanchett’s claim to being middle class is not unique.
  • British people often downplay or selectively obscure their class background, too.
  • However, they are more likely to misidentify as working class, rather than middle class.

What doesn’t kill you makes for a great story – two new memoirs examine the risky side of life

She questions whether women like herself – that is, the well-educated, sexually liberated beneficiaries of second-wave feminism – are really better off than their 1940s counterparts.

Key Points: 
  • She questions whether women like herself – that is, the well-educated, sexually liberated beneficiaries of second-wave feminism – are really better off than their 1940s counterparts.
  • But it isn’t quite the avant-garde art crowd looking for anonymous vaginas to cast in their latest 16mm masterpieces either.
  • Reconstructed from the travel diary the author kept at the time, the adventure is everything you could possibly hope for in a road trip – provided you (or your daughter) aren’t the one taking it.
  • Datsun Angel proves the old adage about time and tragedy making for champagne comedy.
  • It self-consciously situates itself as a cross between the substance-induced exuberance of Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, and the provincially impassioned politics of Australian novelist Xavier Herbert.
  • For all her progressivism, there is a note of nostalgia ringing through Broinowski’s recollections.
  • Datsun Angel harks back to a looser – dare I say, more enjoyable – university experience.
  • The narrative promises, against well-intentioned assurances to the contrary, that what doesn’t kill you will, at the very least, make for a good story later on.
  • Broinowski goes part way towards acknowledging as much when she ends her postscript with: “If you’re male and reading this, kudos.

Detachment

  • Let me borrow one instead from the middle-aged Elmore Leonard fan whom Gordon encounters in the State Library Victoria early in the book: “dickhead”.
  • Yes, that about captures it: the protagonist of Excitable Boy is an unequivocal, grade-A dickhead.
  • Fortunately for Gordon (and dickheads more generally), the affliction may be chronic, but it need not be terminal.
  • This denotes an overriding structure or cohesion that I felt somewhat lacking from the work as a whole.
  • Detachment characterises much of Gordon’s storytelling as he kicks his younger self around the back alleys of Melbourne like a half-squashed can of Monster Energy Drink.
  • To be honest, I still haven’t made my mind up if Gordon’s aversion to Aristotelian catharsis is one of the book’s virtues or vices.
  • Detail has to be controlled by some overall purpose, and every detail has to be put to work for you.
