Book Exploring Place in the Australian Landscape

Download or read book Exploring Place in the Australian Landscape written by David S. Jones and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original framework on how to investigate, understand and translate sense of place at a regional scale. The book explores contemporary sense of place theory and practice, drawing upon the Western District of Victoria, in Australia, being the "Country of the White Cockatoo". It offers a unique multi-temporal and thematical analytical approach towards comprehending and mapping the values that underpin and determine strengths of human relationships and nuances to this landscape. Included is a deep ethno-ecological and cross-cultural translation, that takes the reader through both the Western understanding of sense of place as well as the Australian Aboriginal understanding of Country. Both are different intellectual constructions of thoughts, values and ideologies, but which share numerous commonalities due to their archetypal meanings, feelings and values transmitted to humans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The papers in this collection reflect on the various social effects of native title. In particular, the authors consider the ways in which the implementation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth), and the native title process for which this Act legislates, allow for the recognition and translation of Aboriginal law and custom, and facilitate particular kinds of coexistence between Aboriginal title holders and other Australians. In so doing, the authors seek to extend the debate on native title beyond questions of practice and towards an improved understanding of the effects of native title on the social lives of Indigenous Australians and on Australian society more generally"--Publisher's description.

Book Edward M  Curr and the Tide of History

Download or read book Edward M Curr and the Tide of History written by Samuel Furphy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward M. Curr (1820-89) was a pastoralist, horse trader, stock inspector, Aboriginal administrator, author and ethnologist. A prominent figure in the history of the Colony of Victoria, he rose to a senior position in the public service and authored several influential books and essays. He is best remembered for his nostalgic memoir, Recollections of Squatting in Victoria (1883), which has become a standard historical source. This book is the first comprehensive biography of Curr and explores both his life and legacy. In particular, it considers his posthumous influence on the Yorta Yorta native title case (1994-2001), when his written account of the Yorta Yorta ancestors played a key role in the failure of the claim. By exploring Curr's interactions with Aboriginal people" as a pastoralist and Aboriginal administrator"this book advocates a more nuanced, critical, and historically informed interpretation of Curr's ethnological writings than was evident in the Yorta Yorta case.
