Their invaluable and generous contribution is both tangible and intangible and, in both forms, remains germane to my success and experience. They have provided me with inspiration and challenge or practical day-to-day support and technical expertise. Some have shared their beautiful homes generously, opening up creative spaces where I have been able to reflect, feel safe and just ‘be’. Some have forced me past the edge of my own perceived limitations, while others have brought me back from the brink, encouraging me in times of despair. They believed in me when I had lost faith in myself. Some have engaged me in conversations that have expanded my knowledge and beliefs; and then, there are those whose calm brought stillness to a world spinning out of control. To all of these people – Thank You. Believing as I do, that there is no such thing as an ‘original’ thought, I want to acknowledge all those who have contributed to my learning through their work, creativity, knowledge and interaction with me. Critical to my success has been the input and encouragement of my supervisor/friends Adele Flood, Colleen Lindner and Kwanmena Kwansah-Aidoo (Aspa).

It examines how a person with a fractured geography, dislocated and re-located in a foreign landscape, can structure a personal narrative and maintain an authentic voice. The thesis investigates the role of memory and narrative in unraveling a sense of identity and in doing so reveals how individuals bring a sense of linearity to the fragments of their existence by authoring a unifying narrative. In turn, this narrative (life-story) embodies a sense of identity that is actualised through narrative discourse (articulation of life-story). Commencing with a model for Constructing Personal Narratives (Flood 2003), A Journey Around Myself explores the complex and stratified fragments of memoried experience to extend the Flood model. Using the metaphor of archaeology, the thesis introduces a new approach to narrative inquiry. The model of ‘archaeological narrative inquiry’© uses the concepts, tools, and modes of archaeology to explore the building blocks in the authoring of self. This method embraces the creative potential of an individual and shows how creativity can be used as an essential element to investigate and interrogate the multifarious elements of personal narrative. The use of archaeological narrative inquiry reveals a unique way by which interrogation and reflection are used to tap into the creative self to generate data in the form of creative artefacts for examination and consideration. Through this process, data was generated and a number of artefacts were created. These include: (1) A Book of Photographic Collages: The Hall of Mirrors; (2) A Digital Story: Argumentum e Silencio; (3) A Digital Story: A Journey Through Lost Time… (4) A Digital Story: Lost in Translation (5) An Archive of Family Photographs: Happy Memories; (6) A Fable: Satatantra: The Elephant and the Mirror and (7) A Narrative Account of the Research Journey: Charting the Journey. These artefacts are an integral part of the thesis and can be read or viewed in any order. This method of archaeological narrative inquiry demonstrates the significance of, and the possibilities created by drawing on an individual’s creativity as part of an exploration of self. This distinctive data mechanism manifests in a PhD thesis that falls outside the traditional ‘research’ PhD or a ‘PhD by artefact and exegesis’. The thesis also demonstrates how various components interact to articulate a sense of self and preserve the authentic voice in a forum where the researcher and the researched are one and the same. vi A Journey Around Myself: an archaeological exploration of identity is a thesis of seven chapters. It is constructed in narrative form with relevant literature from transdisciplinary sources that are interwoven throughout the text. The seven creative artefacts listed above emerge from data generated through the process of excavation, interrogation and reflection and are essential to the project as a whole. The research methodology of archaeological narrative inquiry presents data in a re-current and sometimes repetitious manner thus revealing how often the same memory can occur in different forms and narrative. This method demonstrates how triangulation of data enables the validity of the research occurs. The structure, language and creative compilation of the thesis reflect the cultural duality that resides within author. A Journey Around Myself reveals the significance of memory, the self, and the value of story and narrative discourse in relation to how they work to unravel a sense of identity. Through a novel approach to narrative inquiry, this thesis contributes new understandings about the idea of the dislocated self and an individuals’ search to arrive at a sense of identity and place of belonging. This new archaeological approach adds to the body of knowledge in qualitative research. Furthermore, it establishes a unique method of data construction in narrative form for interrogation and analysis that results in a new and innovative model for PhD research. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION BY CANDIDATE I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS III ABSTRACT V TABLE OF FIGURES X TABLE OF ARTEFACTS XI GLOSSARY OF TERMS XII CHAPTER ONE: PROLOGUE 1 Background and Context of the Study 5 Research Methodology 8 Significance of the Study 10 Form 11 CHAPTER TWO: NON-LINEAR PATH OF EXCAVATION 15 Introduction 19 Landscape of Self 21 Constructs and Context 32 Journals 33 Family Narratives 35 Photographs 35 Interrogations 36 Artefacts 41 The Use of Metaphor 42 The Cyclical Nature of the Methodology 48 New Approach 50 Methodological Roots 51 Phenomenology 51 Auto/Ethnography 52 viii Narrative Inquiry 52 Observation 1: Archaeological Narrative Inquiry 54 Summary 60 Observation 2: Constructed Data for Interrogation 61 Dissertation 61 Artefact and Exegesis 62 CHAPTER THREE: THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE 67 Introduction 71 Artefact 1: The Hall of Mirrors 135 Artefact 2: Argumentum e Silencio 137 Artefact 3: A Journey through Lost Time … 138 Artefact 4: Lost in Translation 140 Artefact 5: Happy Memories – Visual Memories of a Happy Childhood 142 Artefact 6: Satatantra: The Elephant and the Mirror 143 Background 143 Title and Synopsis 143 Structure 144 Characters 145 Language and Symbolism 145 Narrative 145 Artefact 7: Charting the Journey 148 CHAPTER FOUR: EXCAVATION A - MEMORY 151 Introduction 153 Visual Memory 189 Memory and Place 202 Memory and Belonging 205 CHAPTER FIVE: EXCAVATION B – THE SELF 211 Introduction 215 The Mirror 216 Maps 217 The Self 218 The Hall of Mirrors 233 ix CHAPTER SIX: STORY -THE MAKING OF IDENTITY 263 Introduction 265 Narrative 266 Masterplots 270 Micro-Narratives 276 Memory 278 Story and Storytelling 282 Identity 287 CHAPTER SEVEN: PUNAR - A HOMECOMING 291 Introduction 295 Beyond the Autobiographical ‘I’ 297 Memory 298 Self 300 Story 302 Archaeological Narrative Inquiry 305 New Model for PhD 308 New Knowledge: Key Findings 309 Memory 309 The Self 309 Story – The Making of Identity 310 Archaeological Narrative Inquiry 310 Bibliography 316 x TABLE OF FIGURES Figure 1.

    2 SEPTEMBER 2013 3 At time of writing, the footy season was approaching its climax as the finals began. On the ladder, the Geelong Cats had closed back to second behind the Hawks. Familiar territory for such a successful club – no change there. Written by John Boley ut for Geelong itself, change is very much in the air. Forever – and perhaps unfairly – associated solely Bwith the Ford auto plant there, the city, the surround- ing area and the local authorities are preparing for the jolt that Ford’s departure will bring and planning a variety of means to improve the lives of the local people. There is a considerable body of opinion to suggest that the ending of such a tight relationship between the city and the carmaker could be a springboard for Geelong to better things rather than a disaster and the City Council is certainly working hard in that direction. It owns and operates the stadium that is home to the Cats, and a major push is underway to extend the reach of this valuable facility and enhance its value to the community. In 1877, Geelong joined the Victorian Association as a Foun- dation Member. The team was known as ‘The Seagulls’ for years, then ‘The Pivotonians’ because Geelong was the pivot point for all railway and shipping for Ballarat and western district merchandise. Years of domination followed as from 1878 Geelong won seven VFA premierships in nine years. Corio Oval was the headquarters until 1940 when the ground was taken over for military training – so they moved again, this time to Kardinia Park in Moorabool Street.

  • Geelong & the Bellarine
    acedon Ranges Geelong & The Bellarine Geelong, Victoria’s second largest city, pulses to its own distinctive beat. The lively waterfront has prime position on a north-facing bay, rare in the Southern Hemisphere. Across Geelong, old industrial spaces have been reinvented as new galleries and on-trend cafés. Just 20 minutes from the Geelong city centre, the Bellarine Peninsula offers golden-sand beaches, al fresco dining, just- caught seafood and local boutique wineries with some of the most striking views across the bay back to Melbourne. Geelong and The Bellarine is part of the GSTR (Great Southern Touring Route) and Go Beyond Melbourne. Kardinia Park Kardinia Park is a sporting and entertainment venue located in South Geelong. The stadium, which is owned and operated by the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, is the home ground of the Geelong Football Club. TOP ATTRACTIONS Little Malop Street Precinct The Little Malop Street precinct is emerging as Geelong’s coolest spot to eat, drink and enjoy the good things about the city. It’s culture central with an edge. The new Geelong Library and Heritage Centre is the most striking piece of architecture in town. Tech meets tradition in a library evolving beyond its books. Next door is the Geelong Gallery, while across the road the Geelong Performing Arts Centre is a hub of theatre, music and drama for the region. The next block of Little Malop Street then shifts from eyes and ears to bellies, with a bunch of great places to eat and drink within a few hundred Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre metres.
