Journal Article
Irruptions of the Dreamings in Post-Colonial Australia
2001
Overview
This essay is written round four 'funny stories' from Northern Australia. Metamorphosis instigated by a Dreaming is central to all four stories and this is why the stories are counted as 'funny,' and received with glee. The analysis illuminates a topic that has been attracting attention in recent contributions to Aboriginal ethnography: how Dreamings irrupt into contemporary histories and act in ways that have political significance, contesting whitefella paradigms and re-asserting the world-view of the original Australians.
