AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The development of the presence of translated Indigenous Australian and New Zealand literature in continental European-markets exhibits striking similarities: they both emerged at roughly the same time and have often been published by the same European presses. Drawing on bibliographical data, this study seeks to explore a vital aspect of the translation histories of both types of literature - the ways publishers have promoted the respective translations. The present analysis focuses on the most immediate marketing point – dustcovers - and encompasses German- and Dutchspeaking countries.' Source: Oliver Haag.

‘Bumping Some Bloody Heads Together’ : A Qualitative Study of German-Speaking Readers of Ruby Langford Ginibi’s Texts Oliver Haag , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia , vol. 3 no. 1 2012; (p. 114-125) 'The writing of Ruby Langford Ginibi has been read, not only within Australia, but also overseas. Often, Indigenous literature is regarded as a primarily national literature, addressed to first and foremost white Australian readers. This article places Ginibi's writing in an overseas context and examines the reactions that Germanspeaking readers have shown to her texts. Drawing on qualitative interviews with readers in Germany and Austria, this study explores the individual techniques of German-speaking readers to connect to the cultural foreign contexts of Ginibi's texts and make sense of them. It also reflects on the author's personal connections to Ginibi's texts and how her writing relates to his own racial contexts in Central Europe.' (Author's abstract)
