Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The lost-child trope in white Australia narrativeBlack displacements: the semiosis of indigeneity in the white-vanishing trope -- White presencing: contamination politics and the policing of white subjectivities in the white-vanishing trope -- Temporal trouble: sequential disturbance, ambivalence, and inscription of linear time in the white-vanishing trope -- Entering terra nullius: the white-vanishing trope and the contest for Australian space -- White vanishing in situ: the semiosis of replacement in five Australian white-vanishing texts. "The story of the vulnerable white person vanishing without trace into the harsh Australian landscape is a potent and compelling element in multiple genres of mainstream Australian culture. It has been sung in "Little Boy Lost, " brought to life on the big screen in Picnic at Hanging Rock, immortalized in Henry Lawson's poems of lost tramps, and preserved in the history books' tales of Leichhardt or Burke and Wills wandering in mad circles."--publisher website |
