'This article deals with the politics of observing and commenting on "elsewhere"
in John Mateer's "Portuguese collection" of poetry, Southern Barbarians (2011), with
particular recourse to Marc Augé's anthropological theories of places and non-places. It
also attempts to establish connections between Mateer's perceptions of Portugal and
questions related to a Portuguese national identity as formulated by contemporary cultural
commentators (Eduardo Lourenço, José Gil, Boaventura de Sousa Santos). In doing so, an
exploration of the relationship between Portugal and Australia becomes inevitable.' (Author's abstract)
