  • Zfa | ASJ 26 2012
    Zeitschrift für Australienstudien / Australian Studies Journal ZfA 26/2012 Seite | 5 From the editors of the issue he editors invite readers to a new and exciting issue of the TZeitschrift für Australienstudien: Australian Studies are becoming increasingly transnational not merely in relation to the background of its scholars but also in terms of academic themes. Like other settler societies, Australia has never been an isolated island. Rather, it has been shaped by diversity and global discourses. This diversity has been of geopolitical, cultural as much as literary influence. Despite this highly heterogeneous background, Australian Studies have nonetheless often been practised within national frameworks. Comparisons, let alone transnational approaches, have been relatively rare - at least from the perspective of systematic research. Today, Australian Studies scholars are experiencing an innovative shift in their various fields of research: translation studies, comparative historical and literary studies and transnational Indigenous Studies are starting to appear, complementing established research. This volume of the Zeitschrift für Australienstudien clearly reflects this new and intellectually highly promising change. Adi Wimmer has transnational structures of analysis in mind as he pursues a comparative approach in his biographically orientated article on Elizabeth Jolley. In his essay “’Don’t Forget About Electra!’ Elizabeth Jolley’s Life and its Reflection in her Works” Wimmer retraces parts of Jolley’s family history and also elaborates on the impact this biographical research exerts on the understanding of Jolly’s writings. Aside from this innovative approach to literary studies, this article is of great transnational importance. Elizabeth Jolly was born in Austria: her writing reflected Australian contexts as much as Central European discourses.

  • Day Break Teachers Notes
    DAY BREAK TEACHERS NOTES Written by Amy McQuire Illustrated by Matt Chun Published in January 2021 by Little Hare, an imprint of Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing SYNOPSIS In this moving picture book a young Indigenous girl describes her family’s journey back to Country, on Australia Day. Theirs is not a day for picnics and celebration. It is a day for remembering and for visiting Country. In both text and image, readers observe this family sharing stories and drawing strength from each other. This story interrogates the various narratives about ‘Australia Day’ and presents the Indigenous view of this national day of celebration, which in their history represents not a celebration, but a day of mourning. Nevertheless, this is not a story which encourages sadness. It is a book which celebrates Indigenous survival and resistance. It honours the past, while looking forward to a brighter future. This is a quietly confronting, honest and important story. It is designed to engage young readers in a crucial conversation about the true history of our country. It will encourage them to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land and to begin to engage in a meaningful reconciliation process with them. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Amy McQuire is a Darumbal and South Sea Islander woman from Rockhampton in Central Queensland. Amy is a freelance writer and journalist, and is currently completing a PhD at the University of Queensland into media representations of violence against Aboriginal women. Amy began her career straight out of high school, completing a cadetship at the National Indigenous Times (NIT) newspaper.

  • NOTES for TEACHERS TELL ME WHY for YOUNG ADULTS By
    NOTES FOR TEACHERS TELL ME WHY FOR YOUNG ADULTS by ARCHIE ROACH SYNOPSIS Tell Me Why for Young Adults is an abridged version of Archie Roach AM’s highly acclaimed adult memoir, Tell Me Why, the Story of My Life and My Music, first published in 2019. Intimate, moving and utterly compelling, Archie’s life story traces the enormous odds he overcomes and his experiences of family and community, love and heartbreak, survival and renewal – and the healing power of music. The book also contains a playlist for young people curated by Archie, and the lyrics of many of his songs – in themselves powerful historical testimonies. Through a series of conversations, facilitated online during COVID-19, Archie connected with Elders and young people, enabling them to record their thoughts, memories and song lyrics. Some of their powerful words are included in the book. To view the conversations and to access an extensive suite of lesson plans and videos, please visit the Archie Roach Stolen Generations Resources, freely available on ABC Education. Created using song, books and stories to promote critical conversations across the country, the Resources are the result of a unique collaboration between the Archie Roach Foundation and Culture is Life. The focus was Archie’s iconic single ‘Took the Children Away’ from his multi-award-winning 1990 debut album Charcoal Lane, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. After the pandemic shut down what was to be his final Australian tour, Roach re-recorded the Songs of Charcoal Lane at his kitchen table, on his mother’s ancestral homelands, Gunditjmara country, in south-western Victoria.

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Programs
    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Programs A Literature Review Authors Jane McKendrick, Robert Brooks, Jeffrey Hudson, Marjorie Thorpe, Pamela Bennett Acknowledgements Kelleigh Ryan, Alma Thorpe, Britt Romani, Regina Jagiello page 1 Defining our healing: a literature review Executive Summary This review summarises existing research on healing internationally and nationally, highlighting what constitutes an effective Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healing process. This evidence enables the identification of what constitutes an effective healing program and the gaps in our knowledge that can inform future evaluation and research priorities. The literature revealed that to be successful, a healing program needs to be created within the local context; respond to needs identified by local community members and be supported by the local community. Sustainability needs to be multi-level and include development and transfer of knowledge and resources. This includes strong evaluation frameworks that are consistent with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander world view. The literature review has provided an inter-country context for healing that clearly demonstrates what constitutes an effective healing program; the interface between healing and health and the need for quality evaluations that incorporate Aboriginal knowledge systems. The depth of this material enables the Healing Foundation to identify a clear pathway to building and developing the evidence of healing into the future. Background Colonisation has had a profound impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples resulting in unresolved trauma, which continues to be passed down through the generations. This is seen in community through lives marked by poverty, lack of educational opportunity, unemployment, poor health, shorter life expectancy, lack of access to services, racial discrimination, and ongoing marginalisation.
