'Introductory comment, Editor

In 1993, Allen and Unwin published a second edition of Diane Bell's Daughters of the Dreaming. In the important Epilogue to the book, Bell comments: 'In explicating the critical perspective from which I write in 1992, I am writing reflexively of my earlier reflexivity!' (1993, 273). In undertaking this project, she makes the point (277): 'It is obvious to me now that building a case for the merits of an ethnography that begins with the experience of women entails methodological and epistemological considerations'. Her discussion of epistemological considerations is informed by standpoint theories, the attraction of which, she suggests (282), is 'that they balance the feminist intuition that women have something real to say about their lives with the anthropological injunction to transcend individual experience in our ethnographic accounts'.'

    'In the 1994/2 issue of Australian Aboriginal Studies, Dr Stephen Wild stated that that would be his last as general editor. In fact, in the midst of many other heavy demands, he undertook most of the responsibility for the 1995/1 issue, which we therefore regard as a transitional and co-edited one. In taking over the general editorship from Stephen, I would like to acknowledge the major contribution that he has made, not only in producing seven issues of the journal but also in addressing some of the difficulties arising from rapidly expanding workloads in the Institute and consequent backlogs and delays in publication. The fact that the publication schedule is now again being met, while the quality of the material has been maintained, is very much owing to his work.' (Editorial introduction)
