Luckman and Gibson pin Darwin’s developmental mimeticism this way: ‘Its cafes, noodle bars, yoga studios, its proliferation of high-rise apartments – all thick besa-block construction and glass enclosed balconies – signal an increasingly predictable script of faux urbanity and franchised consumption repeated across the country and beyond: in Townsville, Wollongong, Canberra, Auckland, Santiago. Readers everywhere will relate to this erasure of difficult but rich pasts in favour of packaged presents.’ Susan Luckman and Chris Gibson, ‘Creative encounters in the volatile north’, Postcolonial Studies 19(1), pp 88–93.9 Tess Lea, ‘On Dealing in Fragments’, HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory 5(1), 2015, pp 449–453.10 Sophie Cunningham, Warning: The Story of Cyclone Tracy, Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2014.11 Donna Haraway, ‘When Species Meet: Staying with the Trouble’, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 28(1), 2010, pp 53–55.12 Donna Haraway, ‘Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective’, Feminist Studies 14(3), 1998, pp 575–99.13 Donna Haraway, When Species Meet, Minneapolis and London: University of Minnesota Press, 2008.14 Haraway, ‘Situated Knowledges’, p 583
