Introduction
Introduction The subjects of ethnographies, it should never be forgotten, are always more interesting than their authors. —R.J. Smith (1990) In the autumn of 2016, I met with two Arrernte men, Shaun and Martin, who had flown from the remote township of Alice Springs, in the center of Australia, to meet with me at my office in the Melbourne Museum. The purpose of their visit was to discuss the potential return of sacred ritual objects to central Australia. I had known both of these men for a number of years, but Shaun and I had a particularly long association. We had worked together at an Aboriginal youth service in Alice Springs over a decade earlier, and as we struck up a friendship he had taken me on a hunting trip for kangaroo on his homelands at Arewengkwerte. Our paths had diverged over the years, but we had once again come together as professionals in the Indigenous museum and heritage sector. Shaun now worked as a researcher at the Strehlow Research Centre in Alice Springs, and I had returned to my home city of Melbourne where I worked in the museum’s Indigenous Cultures Department. Over a number of days, Shaun and I looked into the history of these sacred objects, with Shaun’s uncle Martin providing prudent counsel, pon- dering how they came to be in the possession of a museum 2,300 kilometers from their place of origin. Our research and discussions meandered along a path that eventually led us back to questions about the degree of agency exhibited by central Australian men in the production of collections such as this. -

Shane jeffereys Hersey ………………………………………………………………………… University of Western Sydney Abstract ENDANGERED BY DESIRE T.G.H. STREHLOW AND THE INEXPLICABLE VAGARIES OF PRIVATE PASSION By Shane Hersey Supervisor: Associate Professor Hart Cohen Co-supervisor Dr Maria Angel School of Communication Arts This thesis is about the depth of colonisation through translation. I develop an analytic framework that explores colonisation and translation using the trope of romantic love and an experimental textual construction incorporating translation and historical reconstruction. Utilising both the first and the final drafts of “Chapter X, Songs of Human Beauty and Love-charms” in Songs of Central Australia, by T. Strehlow, I show how that text, written over thirty years and comprised of nine drafts, can be described as a translation mediated by the colonising syntax and grammar. My interest lies in developing a novel textual technique to attempt to illustrate this problem so as to allow an insight into the perspective of a colonised person. This has involved a re-examination of translation as something other than a transtemporal structure predicated on direct equivalence, understanding it instead as something that fictionalises and reinvents the language that it purports to represent. -

Networked Knowledge Media Briefing Rupert Max Stuart Homepage This page setup by Dr Robert N Moles Black And White Review / Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton Comments by Margaret Pomeranz In 1959 an aboriginal man Max Stuart was arrested for the rape and murder of a young girl on the beach at Ceduna South Australia. His trial and subsequent appeals became a cause celebre... it was never a case of black and white... When lawyer David O'Sullivan (Robert Carlyle) is assigned to defend Max Stuart (David Ngoombujarra), he has no idea that his involvement will lead him on a collision course with the police and with the justice system. He learns that Max's confession has been beaten out of him, that his confession is one he could not possibly have made, this with the help of Father Tom Dixon (Colin Friels). But the entrenched racism of the times makes Max's conviction a foregone conclusion, particularly with that bastion of the establishment, Crown Solicitor Roderic Chamberlain (Charles Dance) leading the case for the prosecution. O'Sullivan's refusal to accept the verdict, his desperate search for a basis for appeal will not only involve his law partner Helen Devaney (Kerry Fox) and the young Rupert Murdoch (Ben Mendelsohn) and Rohan Rivett (John Gregg), the editor of the Adelaide Advertiser, but will take him on a journey to the highest court in the system – the Privy Council in England. Black and White explores this fascinating and seminal piece of Australian history in a rather old-fashioned way. Dialogue is delivered in a declamatory style that just seems clunky, giving scenes a distinct lack of credibility. -

Deborah Bird Rose1 Senior Fellow, North Australian Research Unit Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University PO Box 41321 Casuarina, NT 0811 Australia Fax: 618 8922 0055 Email: [email protected] Stream: Aboriginal Totemism, Regions, and Co-management in Aboriginal Australia DRAFT INTRODUCTION I aim to explore possibilities for dialogue that will enable Indigenous people's understandings of ecology to find ground in current world debate around environmental issues and in co- management relationships. Dialogue must take place on ethical ground if it is to produce ethical outcomes. I work with the two main principles articulated by Fackenheim (1994: 129): that dialogue begins where one is, and thus is always situated, and that dialogue is open, and thus that the outcome is not known in advance.2 The effect of openness is reflexivity, so that openness toward outcome destabilises one's own ground. In open dialogue one holds one's self available to be surprised, to be challenged, and to be changed. My broad purpose here is to lay out some of the ground on which ethical dialogue toward co- management may take place. At this time co-management is something to be worked toward rather than something that has been achieved, as Nonie Sharp contends. The ground of 'working toward' must be founded in ethical dialogue if co-management is to be mutual. Such a ground requires reflexivity and critique. Thus, an examination of western preoccupations explores some limits to western thought, limits which only become apparent by moving outside of them. Analysis of management of common property resources in Aboriginal Australia has been hindered by a number of western preoccupations: that hunter-gatherer peoples do not manage resources, but only make use of them; that totems stand for or symbolise something other than themselves; that the boundaries of local land-based groups are congruent with boundaries of responsibility; that a discourse of rights, and particularly of property rights, is capable of encapsulating an indigenous jurisprudence. -

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Hermannsburg Mission was established by German Lutheran missionaries in 1877 following an arduous 20 month journey from South Australia, at the forefront of pastoral expansion in central Australia. It was managed by Lutheran missionaries and the Lutheran Church from 1877-1982, and is the last surviving mission developed by missionaries from the Hermannsburg Missionary Society in Germany under the influence the German Lutheran community in South Australia. This community was established in 1838 supported by the South Australia Company, and in particular George Fife Angas. The mission functioned as a refuge for Aboriginal people during the violent frontier conflict that was a feature of early pastoral settlement in central Australia. The Lutheran missionaries were independent and outspoken, playing a key role in attempting to mediate conflict between pastoralists, the police and Aboriginal people, and speaking publicly about the violence, sparking heated national debate.
