AbstractHistoryArchive Description

In this essay, Lunt's objective is to read spatiality in Aboriginal picture books through the representations of inhabitation and spatial phenomena. The analysis focuses on Bob Randall and Kunyi June-Anne McInerney's Tracker Tjugingji (2003) which Lunt argues, invites readers to share a journey in and through cultural constructions of spatiality. Elaine Russell's A is for Aunty (2000) creates a montage of performative spatiality that links space and time while in Russell's most recent picture book, The Shack That Dad Built (2004), representations of spatiality are personified by embodiment. All three texts offer new ways of understanding spatiality and says Lunt, invite further explorations of 'the spatialisation of Australian childhood' (67).
