| Περίληψη: | Memory in Place brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous
scholars and practitioners grappling with the continued potency of memories and
experiences of colonialism. While many of these conversations have taken place
on a national stage, this collection returns to the rich intimacy of the local.
From Queensland's sweeping Gulf Country, along the shelly beaches of south
Sydney, Melbourne’s city gardens and the rugged hills of South Australia,
through Central Australia’s dusty heart and up to the majestic Kimberley, the
collection charts how interactions between Indigenous people, settlers and their
descendants are both remembered and forgotten in social, political, and cultural
spaces. It offers uniquely diverse perspectives from a range of disciplines
including history, anthropology, memory studies, archaeology, and linguistics
from both established and emerging scholars; from Indigenous and non-Indigenous
contributors; and from academics as well as museum and cultural heritage
practitioners. The collection locates some of the nation’s most pressing
political issues with attention to the local, and the ethics of commemoration
and relationships needed at this scale. It will be of interest to those who see
the past as intimately connected to the future.
