Editor's note: 'This issue of Crossings is edited and compiled by staff from the National Centre for Australian Studies, Monash University.... we sourced this issue's papers largely from several conferences, including 'Colonialism and its aftermath' (Hobart), the Australian Historical Association (Newcastle) and the Asian Studies Association of Australia (Canberra). The chosen work offers a range of interdisciplinary projects which interrogate concepts of 'whiteness', Indigeneity, and Asian-ness.'

[T]hrough some of the examples given in this paper, it is possible to see how the exploration of popular culture might provide writers with alternative approaches to exploring identity.

Intimate Strangers : Contemporary Australian Travel Writing, the Semiotics of Empathy, and the Therapeutics of Race,
single work
criticism
'Increasingly, domestic white Australian travel narratives mobilise encounters with Aboriginality as contexts for political and ethical critiques of white hegemony that, in turn, reflect different manifestations of sympathetic white liberal discourses of reconciliation.... This paper focuses on how these narratives represent performances of a white Australian postcolonial sensibility towards Aboriginality that defines itself through a semiotics of empathy ... for Aboriginality, and how the co-ordinates of this semiotics shifted over the 1990s in response to movements in the Australian public sphere vis-à-vis the politics and ethics of reconciliation.'
