Tales still to be told: Indigenous Australian theatre practice and the archive

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Australia, like other societies based on colonisation throughout the world, has a problematic history in terms of how it represents and narrates stories about its indigenous people. These practices continue to complicate the ways in which the contemporary and past indigenous presence is negotiated and framed. An important part of the ongoing negotiation within Australia has been through what is kept in formal archives and the relationship between those archives and other sources of information, such as oral histories.
