Dudu Marduda (the ‘circling’ plane) is a balga/junba dance-song created by Worrorra composer Wati Ngerdu following the extensive search for a Royal Flying Doctor Service aeroplane that disappeared and crashed after leaving Tablelands Station in the Kimberley in 1956. The dance was revived in 2013 by the performers and the Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre for the annual Mowanjum Festival, after their recovery and circulation of an archival photo of the dance taken in the Mowanjum Community in the late 1950s. Thanks to Sally Treloyn for sourcing and describing the image. Back cover image: Recording session at Oenpelli (now Gunbalanya).

He spent two years carrying out fieldwork in the communities of Gunbalanya and Warruwi in western Arnhem Land of the Northern Territory. He is enthusiastic about documenting and sustaining the tradition of kun-borrk in this region, and has worked with a number of singers and dancers to record and promote their music at festivals, academic conferences, funeral ceremonies and other community events. Reuben has a background in musicology and experience as an actor and singer. Genevieve Campbell has worked for twenty years as a professional French Horn player. In 2007 she instigated Ngarukuruwala: We sing songs, a collaborative music project between a group of Tiwi strong women and jazz musicians from Sydney. Her professional interest in Tiwi music in the context of contemporary performance and the desire to be part of the rediscovery and preservation of old Tiwi songs led her to complete a PhD at the University of Sydney in 2014. Amanda Harris is Research Associate on the ARC Discovery Project Intercultural Inquiry in a Trans-National Context: Exploring the legacy of the 1948 American- Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land, headed by The Australian National University’s Martin Thomas and University of Sydney’s Linda Barwick and Allan Marett. In 2011, she organised a research forum at the University of Sydney which brought together the researchers whose work appears in this book. She obtained a PhD from the University of NSW in 2009 with a historical thesis on women composers and feminism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her publications have appeared in Women & Music, Life Writing, Women’s History Review, History and Anthropology, and Lilith: A feminist history journal as well as several book volumes. Victoria Haskins is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia.

As a curator at the National Museum of Australia in 1999, Victoria first encountered the choreography of Beth Dean’s Aboriginal-inspired ballet. In 2006 she held a Council of Australian State Libraries Fellowship to research Dean’s archives, held at the Mitchell Library in Sydney. She has published several articles and book chapters on Aboriginal cultural appropriation, including two focusing on Beth Dean’s Corroboree (‘Dancing in the Dust,’ in Allen and Dhawan, Intersections, 2005; and ‘To Touch the Infinity of a Far Horizon,’Australasian Drama Studies, 2011). vii Circulating Cultures: Exchanges of Australian Indigenous Music, Dance and Media Anthony Linden Jones is a candidate for a PhD in Musicology at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. His research area is the representation of Aboriginality in Australian Film Music. He holds a B.Mus (Hons) in Composition from Sydney Conservatorium, as well as a B.Eng (Elec.) from the University of New South Wales. In past lives he has performed in a wide range of musical genres, on violin and electric bass. He is active as a composer of concert and film music, a performer on violin, and directs Chorella—an a cappella community choir based in Richmond, NSW. He also teaches music in TAFE, and regularly contributes reviews and articles for Music Forum, the journal of the Music Council of Australia. John Mansfield researches language and culture at Wadeye in Northern Australia. He recently completed his PhD at The Australian National University, focusing on youth subculture and language change. He is now working on the Language Acquisition of Murrinhpatha Project at the University of Melbourne. Martin Thomas teaches in the School of History at The Australian National University. He has held research fellowships at the University of Technology, Sydney, and at the University of Sydney, where he now holds an adjunct position in the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures. His current work is in the field of Australian and trans-national cultural history, as revealed through perceptions of place, representations of landscape and narratives of cross-cultural encounter. A book-in-progress takes up the story of the 1948 American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land, led by Charles Mountford. His recent publications include The Many Worlds of R. H. Mathews: In search of an Australian anthropologist (Allen & Unwin, 2011) and, as editor, Expedition into Empire: Exploratory journeys and the making of the modern world (Routledge, 2014). Sally Treloyn is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne, having received her PhD in Ethnomusicology from the University of Sydney in 2007. Her current research is focused on developing strategies to support Indigenous stakeholders and organisations in their efforts to sustain musical practices and associated knowledge systems into the future. She currently leads two Linkage projects funded by the Australian Research Council in partnership with peak Aboriginal organisations in the Kimberley. She is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Sydney (PARADISEC: the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) and is Secretary to the Steering Committee of the National Recording Project for Indigenous Performance in Australia: http:// www.aboriginalartists.com.au/NRP.htm. viii 1.

  • Corroboree Moderne
    Corrected draft May 2004 CORROBOREE MODERNE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dressed in a brown wool bodystocking specially made by Jantzen and brown face paint, an American dancer, Beth Dean played the young boy initiate in the ballet CORROBOREE at a Gala performance before Queen Elizabeth 11 and Prince Phillip on Feb 4 1954 . “On stage she seems to exude some of the primitive passion of the savage whose rites she presents” (1a) “If appropriations do have a general character, it is surely that of unstable duality. In some proportion, they always combine taking and acknowledgment, appropriation and homage, a critique of colonial exclusions, and collusion in imbalanced exchange. What the problem demands is therefore not an endorsement or rejection of primitivism in principle, but an exploration of how particular works were motivated and assessed.” (1) CORROBOREE "announced its modernity as loudly as its Australian origins…all around the world" (2) 1: (BE ABORIGINAL !) (3) - DANCE A CORROBOREE! The 1950s in the Northern Territory represents simultaneously the high point of corroboree and its vanishing point. At the very moment one of the most significant cultural exchanges of the decade was registered in Australian Society at large, the term corroboree became increasingly so associated with kitsch and the inauthentic it was erased as a useful descriptor, only to be reclaimed almost fifty years later. Corroboree became the bastard notion par excellence imbued with “in- authenticity.” It was such a popularly known term, that it stood as a generic brand for anything dinky-di Australian. (4) Corroboree came to be read as code for tourist trash culture corrupted by white man influence.

  • The Founding of Aboriginal History and the Forming of Aboriginal History
    The founding of Aboriginal History and the forming of Aboriginal history Bain Attwood Nearly 40 years ago an important historical project was launched at The Australian National University (ANU). It came to be called Aboriginal history. It was the name of both a periodical and a historiographical movement. In this article I seek to provide a comprehensive account of the founding of the former and to trace something of the formation of the latter.1 Aboriginal history first began to be formed in the closing months of 1975 when a small group of historically-minded white scholars at ANU agreed to found what they described as a journal of Aboriginal History. At that time, the term, let alone the concept of Aboriginal history, was a novel one. The planners of this academic journal seem to have been among the first to use the phrase in its discursive sense when they suggested that it ‘should serve as a publications outlet in the field of Aboriginal history’.2 Significantly, the term was adopted in the public realm at much the same time. The reports of the Committee of Inquiry on Museums and National Collections (the Pigott Report) and the Planning Committee on the Gallery of Aboriginal Australia, which were the outcome of an inquiry commissioned by the Whitlam Labor Government in order to articulate and give expression to a new Australian nationalism by championing a past that was indigenous to the Australian continent, both used the term.3 As 1 I wish to thank Niel Gunson, Bob Reece and James Urry for allowing me to view some of their personal

  • Submission to the Enquiry of the House Of
    SUBMISSION TO THE INQUIRY OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STANDING COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THE ARTS INTO COMMUNITY BROADCASTING Submission 80 FROM THE NATIONAL INDIGENOUS TELEVISION (NITV) COMMITTEE Executive Summary In September 2005 the Australian Government announced that from 1 July 2006 it will fund the establishment of an Indigenous television service. The National Indigenous Television (NITV) Committee1 is charged with the implementation of the new service; provisionally named National Indigenous Television (NITV). The NITV Committee proposes that NITV, as a fully fledged, government licenced broadcast service, should be provided with the same digital spectrum access as the other mainstream broadcasters. Such an allocation would provide an opportunity for NITV to act as a “channel multiplexer” to provide digital carriage of local community broadcasters. This would allow the community services to continue to be provided with spectrum “free of charge”, without the need for them to provide their own expensive technical infrastructure for digital services. 1 See Appendix 1 for NITV Committee members. The NITV Committee is a voluntary, industry representative group which was formed by the Australian Indigenous Communications Association (AICA) to develop an effective strategy for the establishment of a national Indigenous television service. The group comprises representatives from AICA, Indigenous Remote Communications Association Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Corporation (IRCA), Indigenous Screen Australia (ISA), IMPARJA Television and those with specific contributing industry expertise. Submission The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications Information Technology and The Arts is conducting an enquiry into community broadcasting and seeks input from involved organisations on:- • The scope and role of community broadcasting • Content and programming requirements • Technological opportunities • Opportunities and threats to achieving a diverse and robust network of community broadcasters 1.

The event of dancing is witnessed to by a watercolour by Lieutenant William Bradley, ‘View in Broken Bay New South Wales March 1788’, which is reproduced by Clendinnen as both a plate and a dustcover.4 By ‘The Australians’ Clendinnen means the Aboriginal pop- ulation. But, of course, Aboriginality is not an Aboriginal concept but an Imperial one. As Sonja Kurtzer writes: ‘The concept of Aboriginality did not even exist before the coming of the European’.5 And as for the terra nullius to which the British came, it was always a legal fiction. All this taken in, one sees why Clendinnen calls the First People ‘The Australians’, leaving most of those with the current passport very much Second People. But: winner has taken, almost, all. The Eddie Mabo case6 exploded terra nullius, but most of the ‘nobody’s land’ now still belongs to the Second People.

(There are two reasons why we do our art: the first is to maintain our culture, the second is to earn money). Injalak Arts and Crafts Corporate Plan INTRODUCTION In the last chapter, the example of bark paintings was used to test Western categories for indigenous art. Reference was also made to Aboriginal systems of classification, in particular the ways Yolngu people classify painting, including bark painting. Morphy's concept, that Aboriginal art exists in two 'frames', was briefly introduced, and his view was cited that Yolngu artists increasingly operate within both 'frames', the Aboriginal frame and the European frame (Morphy 1991:26). This chapter develops the theme of how indigenous art objects are valued, both within the creator society and when they enter the Western art-culture system. When aesthetic objects move between cultures the values attached to them may change.

  • Noun Phrase Constituency in Australian Languages: a Typological Study
    Linguistic Typology 2016; 20(1): 25–80 Dana Louagie and Jean-Christophe Verstraete Noun phrase constituency in Australian languages: A typological study DOI 10.1515/lingty-2016-0002 Received July 14, 2015; revised December 17, 2015 Abstract: This article examines whether Australian languages generally lack clear noun phrase structures, as has sometimes been argued in the literature. We break up the notion of NP constituency into a set of concrete typological parameters, and analyse these across a sample of 100 languages, representing a significant portion of diversity on the Australian continent. We show that there is little evidence to support general ideas about the absence of NP structures, and we argue that it makes more sense to typologize languages on the basis of where and how they allow “classic” NP construal, and how this fits into the broader range of construals in the nominal domain. Keywords: Australian languages, constituency, discontinuous constituents, non- configurationality, noun phrase, phrase-marking, phrasehood, syntax, word- marking, word order 1 Introduction It has often been argued that Australian languages show unusual syntactic flexibility in the nominal domain, and may even lack clear noun phrase struc- tures altogether – e. g., in Blake (1983), Heath (1986), Harvey (2001: 112), Evans (2003a: 227–233), Campbell (2006: 57); see also McGregor (1997: 84), Cutfield (2011: 46–50), Nordlinger (2014: 237–241) for overviews and more general dis- cussion of claims to this effect. This idea is based mainly on features
