[Review Essay] Yuendumu Everyday : Contemporary Life in Remote Aboriginal Australia, Elizabeth A. Povinelli , single work essay

'Yuendumu Everyday by Yasmine Musharbash is a subtle yet moving ethnography of how Warlpiri living at Yuendumu, and more particularly, how Warlpiri unmarried women living in jilimis, dwell in their contemporary houses. Inspired by the philosophical reflections of Martin Heidegger and Gaston Bachelard, but working deep within local Warlpiri ways of being, Musharbash seeks to demonstrate that the built environment does not determine life, but ways of being determine how the built environment is used and interpreted.'  (Introduction)

[Review Essay] Painting the Song : Kaltjiti Artists of the Sand Dune Country, Chrischona Schmidt , single work essay

'Painting the Song: Kaltjiti artists of the sand dune country describes a development reaching as far back as the beginning of the 20th century. At the heart of this social and cultural history by anthropologist Diana James is the emergence of a local art movement in Kaltjiti, previously Fregon, in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, South Australia.
