The multitude of creative texts, performance practices, and artworks produced by Indigenous writers and artists in contemporary Australia calls upon Anglo-European academic readers, viewers, and critics to respond to this critical question. Contributors address a plethora of creative works by Indigenous writers, poets, playwrights, filmmakers, and painters, including Richard Frankland, Lionel Fogarty, Lin Onus, Kim Scott, Sam Watson, and Alexis Wright, as well as Durrudiya song cycles and works by Western Desert artists. The complexity of these creative works transcends categorical boundaries of Western art, aesthetics, and literature, demanding new processes of reading and response. Other contributors address works by non-Indigenous writers and filmmakers such as Stephen Muecke, Katrina Schlunke, Margaret Somerville, and Jeni Thornley, all of whom actively engage in questioning their complicity with the past in order to challenge Western modes of knowledge and understanding and to enter into a more self-critical and authentically ethical dialogue with the Other. In probing the limitations of Anglo-European knowledge-systems, essays in this volume lay the groundwork for entering into a more authentic dialogue with Indigenous writers and critics.Cross/Cultures173.Aboriginal AustraliansSocial life and customsAboriginal AustraliansCivilizationArts, Aboriginal AustralianAboriginal AustraliansSocial life and customs.Aboriginal AustraliansCivilization.Arts, Aboriginal Australian.306.0899915Neumaier Beate1535342Kay Schaffer Kay1535343Althans Katrin1535344MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789007703321Decolonizing the landscape3783484UNINA
