AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This book is the fruit of Antonella Riem's thirty-year study of Australian literature and is inspired by the work of anthropologist and social scholar Riane Eisler that the international Partnership Studies Group (founded by Antonella Riem in Udine in 1998) applies to the study of world literatures in English, languages and education. The texts analysed in this book represent an interesting sample of how different Australian authors of diverse epochs share a desire to denounce the dangers of colonial/dominator/imperialism while representing another more human and caring possibility, a different, more partnership-oriented world-view.' (Publication summary)

'Antonella Riem is a professor of English Literature at the University of Udine, in the north-east of Italy close to its borders with Austria and Slovenia. She is an internationalist, interested in Anglophone literatures across the world, and the founder of the Partnership Studies Group at the University, an international network dedicated to promoting a more equitable and caring approach to human relations (partnership) in opposition to a hierarchical, authoritarian (dominator) model. The Group is inspired by the anthropological and cultural work of Riane Eisler, an American whose writings have been influential across a range of fields—law, economics, anthropology—around the world. Riem’s Group focuses on exploring the partnership/dominator dynamic in World Literatures in English, with Riem particularly interested in the literature of India, Canada and Australia. She studied at the University of Queensland in the 1980s and has visited Australia many times.'
