- Student Learning Outcomes By the end of the class, students should be able to critically analyse narratives of representation of aboriginal life in Australia. Overview We open the semester with the early history of human existence in the Pacific, and the “Oceanisation” perspectives on human distribution. We begin by examining the history of anthropological concerns with populations, critically exploring the origins of the distinction between the Anthropology of Australia and the Anthropology of Native Australia. We will then examine the relationship between anthropological research in Australia and broader disciplinary concerns with difference, authenticity, reflexivity, and the possibilities of “native ethnography.”
- Tantárgy tartalma
- Introduction In the nineteenth century, Australian Aborigines were used by European scholars as an exemplar of early human forms, and have consequently featured as the crucial case study for generations of social theorists and anthropologists. Arguments about Aborigines examines controversial subjects such as family life, religion and ritual, and land rights through the prism of Aboriginal studies. The course will provide a valuable introduction to Aboriginal ethnography, and is a shrewd and stimulating history of the central questions in Aboriginal studies.
