Abstract

This chapter examines the notion of reading in relation to space and place, and develops an ethics of reading from engagement with Krim Benterrak, Stephen Muecke and Paddy Roe's Reading the Country: Introduction to Nomadology. In the context of settler colonial Australia, ongoing practices of what Aileen Moreton-Robinson calls the 'logics of white possession' shape the ways that everyday social practices become readable in relation to Indigenous and non-Indigenous histories and communities. Settler colonial society teaches non-Indigenous Australians to treat Australian spaces as incapable of sustaining Indigenous bodies and meanings. Among these spaces, public beaches and memorial statues have become particularly charged sites of investment for non-Indigenous communities, 3 but our focus in the latter part of this chapter will be the 'booing' of Australian Rules Football player Adam Geodes, an Andyamathanha and N arungga man, on the racialised space of the football field. We begin this investigation through an encounter with Reading the Country. If we had spotted its spine in a library, we would have guessed that Reading the Country offered some comments on the poetics of pastoral landscapes. But then the subtitle, Introduction to Nomadology, contained a strong whiff of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Maybe this was a primer on A Thousand Plateaus (1980)

空间阅读,领土标志和占领的喧嚣
本章考察了与空间和地点相关的阅读概念,并通过阅读克里姆·本特拉克、斯蒂芬·穆克和帕迪·罗伊的《阅读国家:游牧学导论》,发展了一种阅读伦理。在殖民者殖民澳大利亚的背景下,艾琳·莫顿-罗宾逊称之为“白人占有的逻辑”的持续实践塑造了日常社会实践的方式,使其与土著和非土著的历史和社区相关。移民殖民社会教导非土著澳大利亚人把澳大利亚的空间视为无法维持土著身体和意义的地方。在这些空间中,公共海滩和纪念雕像已成为非土著社区特别负责的投资场所3,但我们在本章后半部分的重点将是澳大利亚规则足球运动员Adam Geodes的“嘘声”,他是一名Andyamathanha和N arungga男子,在足球场上的种族化空间。我们通过阅读国家的遭遇开始了这次调查。如果我们在图书馆里看到它的书脊,我们就会猜到,《乡村阅读》对田园风景的诗学提出了一些评论。但副标题《游牧学导论》却带有强烈的法国哲学家吉尔·德勒兹(Gilles Deleuze)和菲利克斯·瓜塔里(Felix Guattari)的味道。也许这是《千高原》(1980)的入门
