Alexis Wright’s fiction, Aboriginal Realism, and the Sovereignty of the Indigenous Mind
The Indigenous Australian author Alexis Wright has developed a novelistic oeuvre that experiments with written forms of fiction, and paints an Aboriginal universe that does not need European epistemology to sustain itself. Rather, it questions western values, certainties, and convictions and problematizes the western way of seeing and doing in the island-continent. Her latest novel, The Swan Book, in manifesting its spiritual and mystical connect…
Alexis Wright’s The Swan Book
The Swan Book (pub. 2013) by the Indigenous-Australian author Alexis Wright is an eco-dystopian epic about the Indigenous people’s tough struggle to regain the environmental balance of the Australian continent and recover their former habitat. The book envisions a dire future in which all Australian flora and fauna—humans included—are under threat, suffering, displaced, and dying out as the result of Western colonization and its exploitative trea…
Inside and Outside the Body Politic
Indigenous Australian artist Tracey Moffatt’s 3-minute short Vigil, part of her My Horizon show at the 2017 Art Biennale in Venice, captures the increasing fear, hysteria and obsession regarding the borders of Australian national identity in the new millennium. Moffatt’s interest in Asian asylum seekers and refugees ties her critique of immigrant control into Indigenous exclusion, both of which define what is known as Fortress Australia. Taking t…
Alexis Wright's The Swan Book
Indigenous-Australian fiction offers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices the opportunity to carve out an Indigenous space within as well as without Australian identity after more than two centuries of silencing and oppression. Since the 1990s Indigenous authors such as Alexis Wright have broken new ground by going beyond the typical Indigenous autobiography known as life-writing as a means to recover their Indigenous history and to be he…
The Politics of the Peninsular “Patrix
In Spain there are no political prisoners!" Rafael Catal, the Spanish Minister of Justice under PM Mariano Rajoy, exclaimed in reply to a Catalan separatists demand that he address the numerous arrests that had been carried out after the October 1, 2017 referendum on Catalan independence, on the unlikely charges of corruption, rebellion, sedition and terrorism. The minister was cited by numerous Spanish news media on his denial as well as its cor…

Reel Indigeneity
The awarded film Ten Canoes (2006) broke new ground in the cinematic representation of Indigenous Australia. Indigenous life in the remote area of Arnhem Land’s Arafura Swamp was both documented and fictionalized in collaboration between the independent Dutch-Australian filmmaker Rolf de Heer and the Yolngu community in Ramingining. This essay draws on Homi Bhabha’s work on the articulation of cultural difference in his essay ‘DissemiNation’, pub…
The Quiet Man and Angela’s Ashes
Ever since I was a kid living in a shack near the slag heaps, my mother's told me about Innisfree and White O'Morn. Innisfree has become another word for Heaven to me(Ford 1952:13'). Tis the beginning for Frankie McCourt. He'll come back in a few years with a new suit and fat on his bones
