Encounters Between Italian Migrants and Indigenous Australians in Far Away Is Home
Flinders University Languages Group Online Review Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2016 ISSN 1446–9219 Land, Culture and New Ways of Belonging: Encounters between Italian migrants and Indigenous Australians in Far Away is Home. La storia di Clely (Diego Cenetiempo, Australia/Italy, 2012) Matteo Dutto Monash University ABSTRACT Stories of encounters between Italian migrants and Indigenous Australians have rarely been portrayed in film and documentary form by either Italian or Australian filmmakers, reflecting a lack of interest that is not incidental but, as I propose in this paper, can be better understood as constitutive to how migrants’ sense of belonging and identity is negotiated in contemporary Australia. To do so, I consider Far Away is Home. La Storia di Clely, a 2012 short documentary by Italian filmmaker Diego Cenetiempo that retells the story of Clely Quaiat Yumbulul, a Triestine Italian migrant who, after moving to Galiwin’ku on Elcho Island, married Warramiri leader and artist Terry Yumbulul and now identifies herself as part Triestine and part Indigenous. Drawing on theories of diasporic and multicultural filmmaking and on scholarship on whiteness, migration and identity studies within the Australian context, this paper argues that Far Away is Home reframes Clely’s story of migration to Australia as an encounter with Warramiri country and culture, thus proposing alternative and decolonizing modes of belonging and identity. INTRODUCTION The true Clely, my true self, is the one that thinks both in Triestine and in Aboriginal language and lives those two parallel lives. – Clely Quaiat Yumbulul, Far Away is Home: La Storia di Clely (Diego Cenetiempo, 2012 – my translation) 1 Black and white pictures and footage of migrant ships entering the ports of Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney constitute an enduring reminder of the history of early Italian migration to Australia. -

Introduction Language, land and song are closely entwined for most pre-industrial societies, whether the fishing and farming economies of Homeric Greece, or the raiding, mercenary and farming economies of the Norse, or the hunter- gatherer economies of Australia. Documenting a language is now seen as incomplete unless documenting place, story and song forms part of it. This book presents language documentation in its broadest sense in the Australian context, also giving a view of the documentation of Australian Aboriginal languages over time.1 In doing so, we celebrate the achievements of a pioneer in this field, Luise Hercus, who has documented languages, land, song and story in Australia over more than fifty years. -

journal of language contact 11 (2018) 71-112 brill.com/jlc The Development of Phonological Stratification: Evidence from Stop Voicing Perception in Gurindji Kriol and Roper Kriol Jesse Stewart University of Saskatchewan [email protected] Felicity Meakins University of Queensland [email protected] Cassandra Algy Karungkarni Arts [email protected] Angelina Joshua Ngukurr Language Centre [email protected] Abstract This study tests the effect of multilingualism and language contact on consonant perception. Here, we explore the emergence of phonological stratification using two alternative forced-choice (2afc) identification task experiments to test listener perception of stop voicing with contrasting minimal pairs modified along a 10-step continuum. We examine a unique language ecology consisting of three languages spo- ken in Northern Territory, Australia: Roper Kriol (an English-lexifier creole language), Gurindji (Pama-Nyungan), and Gurindji Kriol (a mixed language derived from Gurindji and Kriol). In addition, this study focuses on three distinct age groups: children (group i, 8>), preteens to middle-aged adults (group ii, 10–58), and older adults (group iii, 65+). Results reveal that both Kriol and Gurindji Kriol listeners in group ii contrast the labial series [p] and [b]. Contrarily, while alveolar [t] and velar [k] were consis- tently identifiable by the majority of participants (74%), their voiced counterparts ([d] and [g]) showed random response patterns by 61% of the participants.

3501 Bar News May 2005
Vale His Honour Judge Bob Bellear (1944 – 2005) Earlier this year, the Australian legal community lost one of its finest heroes with the tragic and untimely death of his Honour Judge Bob Bellear of the District Court of New South Wales who, in 1996, was the first Indigenous Australian to be appointed a judge. As Mr Peter Manning wrote in his obituary published in the Sydney Morning Herald on 17 March 2005: Raised in the far north coast town of Billinudgel, near Mullumbimby, he was the grandson of a Vanuatu sugar- cutting slave and an Aboriginal woman from the Noonuccal People of Stradbroke Island. One of nine children, he knew poverty, hunger and widespread culture of alcoholism as he grew to manhood. He told an interviewer in 1978 ‘Drunkenness was our only refuge. But when you emerged from the haze of drunkenness, there was always the harsh reality of racism to face.’ Before his career in the law, Bob Bellear had served in the Royal Australian Navy, becoming the first Aboriginal to rise to the level of petty officer. In 1972, moved by events in Redfern, he resolved to study law and, to do so, returned to Sydney Technical College to finish high school studies. He graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1978 and was admitted to the Bar in 1979. As Peter Manning wrote in his obituary: He represented Aboriginal people (and whites) in a wide range of courts. The main emphasis of his practice, however, was criminal trials, instructed by the Aboriginal Legal Service, Legal Aid Commission or private practitioners. -

Class This course offers an introduction to some of the classical and current issues in the Description 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, art and writing. 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 and historical texts, films, archives and Indigenous life-writing accounts, we will consider the ways in which Aboriginalities are being challenged and constructed in contemporary Australia. -

But it has been extraordinarily diffcult to understand its evolution, diversifcation, and use: a vast array of incredibly different language systems are found across the planet, all representing different solutions to the problem of evolving a fexible, all-purpose communication system, and all in constant fux. The ARC Centre of Excellence for the To achieve this transformation of the Dynamics of Language (CoEDL) will shift language sciences and the fow-on the focus of the language sciences from the translational outcomes for the public and long-held dominant view that language is a end-users, we have assembled a team which static and genetically constrained system — makes surprising and bold connections to a dynamic model where diversity, variation, between areas of research that until now plasticity and evolution, along with complex have not been connected: linguistics, interactions between language-learning and speech pathology, psychology, anthropology, perceptual and cognitive processes, lie at the philosophy, bioinformatics and robotics. -
