Barriers to Truth and Justice in Settler-Colonial Australia
Foreclosure
This article appraises debates about modernism in 1930s and 1940s Australia in relation to the cultural and political traditions of settler colonialism. We theorise settler modernist and anti-modernist engagements as conditioned by a succession of negations constituting 'Australia' as what we have previously termed 'the negative Commonwealth'. Both rejections and affirmations of European modernist traditions considered the imminent arrival in Aus…
Australia' as competing projects of settler nationalism
The negative Commonwealth
Federated Australia was seen for a long time as a significant social 'laboratory'. The Commonwealth itself was seen as an 'experiment'. This widespread metaphor relied on a particular pattern of perception: the country was 'new' (it was not), and the country was allegedly isolated (it was not, at least not completely). Many believed that its social environment could be controlled, like that of a scientific laboratory. A laboratory is designed to …
Dreaming of an Indigenised Australia
This article offers a critical engagement with Billy Griffiths's awardwinning book Deep Time Dreaming: Uncovering Ancient Australia as a departure point towards uncovering and examining a significant tradition of Australian cultural reflection and interpretation it terms, following Anthony Moran, indigenising settler nationalism. Tracing the genealogy of the indigenising settler-nationalist tendencies that shape Deep Time Dreaming, and to which t…
Not Invisible, Not Silent, Not Nameless
This article seeks to contribute to the emerging literature highlighting Indigenous peoples’ significant involvement in and contributions to goldfields society, in Australia and internationally. It does so by way of conversations with Dja Dja Wurrung voices and a careful examination and interpretation of written colonial records relating to the Dja Dja Wurrung, the Aboriginal people whose Country encompasses what is now called central Victoria in…
Aboriginal Use of Fire as a Weapon in Colonial Victoria
The use of fire as an offensive and defensive weapon on the colonial frontier in Australia has received little scholarly attention. This article aims to build on insights from current historiography about the customary use of fire by Aboriginal peoples within the borders of Victoria, Australia. Specifically, our aim is to highlight the historically significant role Aboriginal peoples’ use of fire played in resisting the colonists in Victoria duri…
Aboriginal fire-management practices in colonial Victoria
Through a close reading of particular episodes and a focus on the minutiae of action and context, this article adds to the literature on the customary use of fire by Aboriginal people in south-eastern Australia by highlighting the historically significant role Aboriginal people played in toiling alongside colonists and fighting fires during the colonial period. By scrutinising the written colonial records it is possible to reveal some of the meas…
Rex Ingamells and Ted Strehlow
The standard story of Australian national cultural development revolves around a fundamental conflict between the forces of empire loyalism or universalism on the one hand and Australian nationalism on the other. Yet this narrative structure neglects the complexities of the settler-colonial, as distinct from the colonial, situation. This article is premised on the proposition that the settler-colonial situation is conditioned by a triangular syst…
“All that appears possible now is to mitigate as much as possible the trials of their closing years”1
This article examines Alfred Deakin's attitudes towards, and impacts upon, Aboriginal people during the period 1880–1910, drawing on newspaper articles and parliamentary debates as principal source materials. The discussion begins by charting the long, influential and often positive relationships Deakin had with several Aboriginal communities during a period as a Victorian MLA between 1881 and 1884. It then proceeds to document Deakin's extraordi…
Encountering Indigeneity
The 1930s in Australia was a period marked by rising awareness of and attention to Australia's 'half-caste problem'. Released and promoted in tandem with the 1938 sesquicentenary of Australia's settler colonisation, Xavier Herbert's novel Capricornia appeared as a searing protest against the exclusion of so-called 'half-castes' from white Australia. The novel itself was published by the Publicist Publishing Company, platform for rationalist and b…
Reframing ‘Inky’ Stephensen's place in Australian cultural history
This article examines the existing literature surrounding Percy Reginald Stephensen (1901–1965). 'Inky' to his friends, Stephensen was a prominent yet complex and ostensibly contradictory figure of the Australian literary, cultural and political landscape of the 1930s and early 1940s. In an attempt to overcome what this article presents as the persistent sense of analytical obscurity and uncertainty surrounding both Stephensen and his most famous…
Only Planet
s infamous flooding rains were absent from the Victorian environment for over a decade, long enough to facilitate the gradual but grudging acceptance amongst the state's inhabitants of their seemingly interminable counterpart: drought. By 2010, we had not personally experienced 'proper' rain since childhood. In absence, even our memories of rain had dimmed; the very idea had been rendered mythological, as abstract as God. We had come to consider …
