AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Through applying an Indigenous paradigmatic approach to reading Australian Indigenous literature, a new conceptualisation of Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria emerges, one that argues the novel is a practice in Indigenous epistemologies (ways of knowing). The form of the novel is considered, conceptualising Carpentaria’s Indigenous grand narrative voice as a praxis in Indigenous knowledge production, maintenance, and dissemination. This argument is supported by the configuration of Carpentaria’s content – the stories told within the text – as Indigenous knowledges.'
