Abstract
This short account of Yolŋu Indigenous diplomacy has been collaboratively crafted by four Yolŋu Aboriginal Elders of Northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, Australia. Gawura Waṉambi, a leader of his clan nation, Marraŋu of the Raymaŋgirr homeland, shares his philosophy of Warraw’ (shade) in describing how Yolŋu ways of diplomacy have been ancestrally placed and are currently practised by Yolŋu people. Joy Bulkanhawuy, a senior Elder of Djambarrpuyŋu of the Ŋurruyurrtjurr homeland, helps the reader to understand how Riŋgitj (ancestral assemblages) brings human, other-than-human and more-than-human together in the act of performing Yolŋu diplomacy. Ian Mongunu Gumbula, a senior Elder of the Gupapuyŋu clan nation of Djiliwirri, discusses the concept of Mulka’ (comfort place) which underlies both the everyday and ceremonial practice of Yolŋu keeping people-places safe and comfortable. Brenda Muthamuluwuy, an Elder of the Birrkili Gupapuyŋu clan nation of Ḻuŋgutja, translates the voices of these Elders speaking in their own languages into English.
期刊介绍:
AJIA is the journal of the Australian Institute of International Affairs. The Institute was established in 1933 as an independent and non-political body and its purpose is to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs among its members and the general public. The aim of the Australian Journal of International Affairs is to publish high quality scholarly research on international political, social, economic and legal issues, especially (but not exclusively) within the Asia-Pacific region. The journal publishes research articles, refereed review essays and commentary and provocation pieces. ''Articles'' are traditional scholarly articles. ‘Review essays’ use newly published books as the basis to thematically examine current events in International Relations. The journal also publishes commentaries and provocations which are high quality and engaging pieces of commentary, opinion and provocation in a variety of styles. The Australian Journal of International Affairs aims to analyse international issues for an Australian readership and to present Australian perspectives to readers in other countries. While seeking to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs, the journal does not seek to promote any particular policies or approaches. All suitable manuscripts submitted are sent to two referees in a full ''double blind'' refereeing process.
