Maharajan Vol. 6 Special Issue 1 February 2018 ISSN: 2320-2645 CHANGING TALES OF A CONTINENT A REVIEW OF RACIAL NARRATIVES IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY Dr. Oliver Haag Senior Research Fellow, Austrian Centre for Transcultural Studies, Vienna Narratives of the past tend to establish ideas of society. Societies are invented communities that, through means of language and literature, are being re-narrated over time. History is thus closely entwined with language and, in this essay, regarded as a form of literature that should not be confused with the past but be understood as a mechanism of relating the past to the present. History is central to culture and identity. It tells us who we are, where we come from and where we belong. It helps us recognise ourselves as being unique and distinct from others. History makes ‗us‘ as much as ‗we‘ make history. More precisely, in its recording of collective experiences, history inevitably (re)imagines the social entity whose experiences it intends to tell – be it that of a family or that of a nation. Put another way, the historical narrative of the community it describes reflects the self-perception and given identity of that community, as well as whom exactly is to be considered a ‗true-blue‘ member of the described community. Much of the history writing process, therefore, concerns the merging of different experiences into a story of a shared past. This article addresses these issues in an Australian context. Its theme is the re- imagining of Australia through re-writing Australian history. History and the Re-Imagination of Community Essential to the writing of national histories is the question of how individual persons and their various experiences become a part of the respective national unity. Since nations are abstract, imagined communities whose members do not know each other in any literal sense, they are only able to integrate individual members and groups by developing a common consciousness of ‗who we are‘. This first requires an imagination of the essential characteristics that constitute the community. It is beyond question that such a process is historical at its core, for it cannot but seize upon the past or, to use Halbwachs‘ term, upon a collective memory, suggesting ‗we have always been like that‘, ‗we have always had a special role in history‘, ‗we have always had that particular kind of mentality and way of life‘. The pattern underlying this collective memory, therefore, often follows a specific set of recurrent rules: (a) it fashions the idea of there being a common origin; (b) it establishes a foundation story; (c) it emphasizes the importance of particular persons and events; (d) it inscribes only decisive deeds (or rather those deemed decisive) into the biography of the respective nation; (e) it draws a picture of the ‗good‘ land in which the respective community resides; and (f) it devises a canon of outstanding merits characterising the particular nation. Shanlax International Journal of English 1 | P a g e A Two Day International Conference on – Language Literature & Society Such narratives show three characteristics. Firstly, they tend to homogenise an array of fundamentally heterogeneous experiences. Secondly, they are inclined to focus upon positive accounts such as heroic achievements or past glories, rather than upon moral failings. Thirdly, the history they convey is presented in so passionate a style that it is difficult to jeopardise it without evoking fiercely emotional reactions. In Australia, both academic and non-academic history helped to invent the national community. Particularly in the course of the growing nationalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, popular genres of music and literature--like the poetries issued in the Bulletin magazine--regularly invoked history, and thus propelled the ‗birth‘ of the nation. This is also the case with the first twentieth century mainstream tradition of Australian historiography, dubbed conventional history. Writing History, Imagining Australia – The Conventional History The conventional school of thought originated in the early 1900s, remained eminently influential until the 60s and was closely intertwined with the development of Australian history as a distinct academic sub-discipline. Equally illuminating for gaining a sound understanding is the socio-historical context in which this history flourished.
