| Inhalt | 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook's first voyage aboard the 'Endeavour' to Australia and the Pacific. But as Australia's Indigenous Affairs Minister Ken Wyatt points out: "Cook's visit in 1770 is not viewed by all Australians in the same way. For some, it represents a unique and important scientific journey of discovery and, for some, the legacy of the voyage symbolises loss of country, language and culture. It is important that messages reflect both perspectives - the view from the ship and the view from the shore." In this research seminar, we will explore both views of the Australian cross-cultural encounter and what Maria Nugent has called "the messy history of settlement" especially through the study of recent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander literature, theatre and art and a focus on the so-called Australian 'history wars', indigeneity, land rights, landscape, memory and nationality. |
| Lernziele | This seminar acquaints students with the diversity of Australian literature and its multifaceted engagement with Indigenous and non-Indigenous interactions. |
