Anthropology of Indigenous Australia
Anthropology of Indigenous Australia Class code ANTH-UA 9037 Instructor Details Petronella Vaarzon-Morel [email protected] 0428633216 (mobile) Office Hour: Tuesday 5-6pm Class Details Anthropology of Indigenous Australia Tuesdays, 2-5pm September 3 to December 10 Room 3.04 NYU Sydney Academic Centre Science House: 157 Gloucester Street, The Rocks Prerequisites None Class Description This course offers an introduction to some of the classical and current issues in the 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, and archiving. 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 texts, historical accounts, films, live performances, and an autobiography, we will consider the ways in which Aboriginalities are being challenged and constructed in contemporary Australia. The course will consist of lectures interspersed with discussions, student presentations, and films/other media; we may also have guest presenters. -

Article by Maria Joseph ONE NIGHT the MOON Directed by Rachel
Area of Study 2 Article on One Night The Moon by Maria Joseph Context: The Imaginative Landscape Article by Maria Joseph ONE NIGHT THE MOON Directed by Rachel Perkins One Night the Moon is directed by Rachel Perkins and was released in 2001. Perkins is an Indigenous Australian, an Arrernte woman from the Central Desert region near Alice Springs. She grew up in Canberra, the daughter of renowned Aboriginal activist Charles Perkins, who died whilst the film was in production. One Night the Moon is dedicated to his memory. Like her father, Perkins is concerned with the social and political rights of Aboriginals in contemporary Australia. Her films Radiance (1998) and Bran Nue Dae (2010) centre on Aboriginal issues, and her television series The First Australians (2008) gives an Aboriginal viewpoint of Australian history. Paul Kelly is a principal actor and musician in One Night the Moon, playing the father, Jim. As a musician he is known for his insightful lyrics that comment on modern Australian life. At the time of making One Night the Moon, Kelly was married to Kaarin Fairfax, who plays Rose. Their actual daughter, Memphis, plays Emily. The Imaginative Landscape in One Night the Moon At one level ‘The Imaginative Landscape’ can be simply interpreted as having to do with representations of the land. Writers and directors create the settings of their narratives in order to convey meaning. We all know that a thunderstorm or wild wind suggests something dramatic or tragic is likely to happen in the story. A narrative with a negative outcome or a critical message may be set in a landscape that conveys pessimism, such as a grungy cityscape. -
