Links to online resources
Anthropological associations in Australia
The Australian Anthropological Society represents the profession at the national level, but there is also the Anthropological Society of Western Australia and the Anthropological Society of South Australia.
Digital Archives:
In the Wiley Online site there is a lot of great material for researchers – tips on publishing for instance, but I draw your attention to the tab labelled ‘Researchers’ (where this portal opens a wealth of diverse material of interest).
In the Wiley digital archives of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, you will see two Collection Archives highlighted – material relating to the Aboriginal Protection Society, and an Ethnographic Photography Library.
Look and listen: online videos and public presentations
Native Title: implications for Australian senses of place
A presentation by Emeritus Professor David Trigger in the 2020 seminar series of the Anthropological Society of Western Australia Native Title: implications for Australian senses of place is now available on YouTube.
Future Forum 2020 – Visions on the future of Aboriginal heritage in Western Australia
This one-day forum was hosted by the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists (AACAI), the Anthropological Society of Western Australia (ASWA), and the Australia International Council on Monuments and Sites (A.ICOMOS) in Fremantle on Friday, 16 October 2020.
The forum brought together First Nations people, Traditional Owners and custodians, representative bodies, industry, consultants, researchers, politicians, Government representatives and other interested parties to explore and discuss what the future of Aboriginal heritage management could look like in Western Australia.
Video recordings for presentations from the Future Forum are available on a YouTube playlist.
New books and publications
Tim Pilbrow has published an article in The Australian Journal of Anthropology, crafted while he was a CNTA scholar and entitled The integrative value of conflict and dispute: Implications for defining community in the native title context. It can be downloaded from the Wiley site.
Michael Bennett, Mar 2020. The Pathfinders NSW — A History of NSW Aboriginal Trackers (Newsouth Publishing)
Geraldine Doogue interviewed historian Dr Michael Bennett, formerly of NTSCorp, on RN’s Saturday Extra (Saturday 7 March 2020) about this book. In New South Wales alone, more than a thousand Aboriginal men and a smaller number of women toiled for authorities across the state after 1862. Through his work on native title claims, historian Michael Bennett realised that the role of trackers – and how they moved between two worlds – has been largely unacknowledged. His important book reveals that their work grew out of traditional society and was sustained by the vast family networks that endure to this day. Pathfinders brings the skilled and diverse work of trackers not only to the forefront of law enforcement history but to the general shared histories of black and white Australia.
Georgia Curran, 2020. Sustaining Indigenous Songs: contemporary Warlpiri ceremonial life in central Australia (Berghahn)
From the back cover: ‘As an ethnography of Central Australian singing traditions and ceremonial contexts, this book asks questions about the vitality of the cultural knowledge and practices highly valued by Warlpiri people and fundamental to their cultural heritage. Set against a discussion of the contemporary vitality of Aboriginal musical traditions in Australia and embedded in the historical background of this region, the book lays out the features of Warlpiri songs and ceremonies, and centres on a focal case study of the Warlpiri Kurdiji ceremony to illustrate the modes in which core cultural themes are being passed on through song to future generations.’
