  • Anthropology of Indigenous Australia
    Anthropology of Indigenous Australia Class code ANTH-UA 9037 Instructor Details Petronella Vaarzon-Morel [email protected] 0428633216 (mobile) Office Hour: Tuesday 5-6pm Class Details Anthropology of Indigenous Australia Tuesdays, 2-5pm September 3 to December 10 Room 3.04 NYU Sydney Academic Centre Science House: 157 Gloucester Street, The Rocks Prerequisites None Class Description This course offers an introduction to some of the classical and current issues in the anthropology of Indigenous Australia. The role of anthropology in the representation and governance of Indigenous life is itself an important subject for anthropological inquiry, considering that Indigenous people of Australia have long been the objects of interest and imagination by outsiders for their cultural formulations of kinship, ritual, art, gender, and politics. These representations—in feature films about them (such as Rabbit-Proof Fence and Australia), New Age Literature (such as Mutant Message Down Under), or museum exhibitions (such as in the Museum of Sydney or the Australian Museum)—are now also in dialogue with Indigenous forms of cultural production, in genres as diverse as film, television, drama, dance, and archiving. The course will explore how Aboriginal people have struggled to reproduce themselves and their traditions on their own terms, asserting their right to forms of cultural autonomy and self-determination. Through the examination of ethnographic texts, historical accounts, films, live performances, and an autobiography, we will consider the ways in which Aboriginalities are being challenged and constructed in contemporary Australia. The course will consist of lectures interspersed with discussions, student presentations, and films/other media; we may also have guest presenters.
