Reconfiguring Australia's Literary Canon : Antipodean Cultural Tectonics
2011
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Commonwealth , Autumn vol. 34 no. 1 2011; (p. 77-91) 'This paper shows how an Australian community imagined by the European continent has evolved to become more inclusive of otherness, be it in the form of non-Anglo-Australian cultures, Australian regional cultures, or a significant Indigenous culture intimately linked to the land. In this process, which is comparable to tectonic shifts, some Australian authors have attempted, within a 21st-century global village, to map intercultural spaces that reveal a pervasive sense of emptiness and the uncanny.'
