While I knew I was raced, I didn't think much of it
International recognition of racial literacy is growing as a field of postcolonial scholarship but has yet to gain momentum in Australia. In this article, we argue for the need to develop a racial literacy approach for Australian contexts and draw on a qualitative study which engaged with university students who participated in the subject Racial Literacy: Indigeneity and Whiteness delivered at an Australian university. The experiences of these s…
Love is a battlefield
In Baz Luhrmann's Australia (2008), audiences encounter emotive scenes including depictions of an Indigenous child stolen from a white 'mother' in a time of war. Given that the film is framed with reference to the history of the Stolen Generations and the Apology, this paper explores the functions of such a narrative in constructions of the white imaginary. Inverting truths around the destruction of Indigenous families and policies of assimilatio…
The urban frontier and the abduction of the racialized body
Through a discussion of Nyungar artist Dianne Jones's photographic series Men's Business, this essay examines how Jones's images connect with themes of Aboriginality, occupation and place. Set in Perth, Kojunup and Northam, the series is a response by Jones as an Aboriginal woman to the representation of Aboriginal men in Australia around the Northern Territory Intervention. Drawing on Fanon's concept of racially marked bodies abducted from speci…
Histories of passion and indifference
Situating the Body
This paper aims to ask questions about how interculturalism might be informed by thinking through choreography. It examines the techniques and strategies of two Malaysian-Australian artists, Chandrabhanu and Yap, whose transmigration has constructed new forms of subjectivity from the memories and histories of dancing bodies. It asks how embodied experience, that includes dance knowledges, adapts before and after other social and political adjustm…
Dancing the Transcultural across the South
In ‘Dancing the transcultural across the South’, Fensham and Kelada argue for the importance of incorporating the contribution of Dance Studies when examining the complex ‘entanglements’ of migration, interculturalism and globalisation. The article locates dancing within current intercultural debates, in particular utilising the idea of transculturalism to inform a concept of ‘trans/dans’, and foreground movement as localised expression. Cultural…
Is the personal still political? Contemporary Australian women writers waltzing to a different tune
This article asks the question of whether the personal is still political in Australia. Through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, feminism was at the forefront of new ways of thinking and defining social and political relations. Making the political personal meant that women's experiences were deemed as worthy as men's of being translated into literature, politics and the public domain. Many contemporary Australian women writers produce writing encompassin…
