Subject:

Description:

Indigenous Australia has been of immense importance in the history of Anthropology as well as in the sociology of religion and psychoanalysis (eg. Durkheim' s Elementary Form , and Freud's Totem and Taboo). Long an icon of radical Otherness in the Western imagination (see the movie Walkabout, for instance), indigenous Australians now contest the moods and tropes of that imagination with alternative modes of memory, film, visual art, and storytelling.
