Abstract

Australia is built upon a foundation of colonial conquest, and it continues to implement government policies and systems of management based on a colonising logic and the denial of Indigenous sovereignty. This study employed qualitative methods and discourse analysis to draw on the experiences of six non-Indigenous Australians employed by the South Australian Government in Aboriginal partnerships and natural resource management. Drawing on critical Whiteness studies, the article reveals that participants in this cohort are largely critical of colonial structures of government and the inequalities that arise. Despite this critical awareness, there was often a difficulty in finding a language to describe the fog of Whiteness, along with the tendency to describe ecological knowledge at the expense of more complex issues of First Nations sovereignty.

制度、自我与主权:非原住民从业者在原住民伙伴关系中协商白人
澳大利亚建立在殖民征服的基础上,它继续执行基于殖民逻辑和否认土著主权的政府政策和管理制度。本研究采用了定性方法和话语分析,借鉴了南澳大利亚州政府雇用的六名非土著澳大利亚人在土著伙伴关系和自然资源管理方面的经验。根据批判性的白人研究,文章揭示了这一群体的参与者在很大程度上对殖民地政府结构和由此产生的不平等持批评态度。尽管有这种批判性的意识,但人们往往很难找到一种语言来描述白人的迷雾,同时也倾向于以牺牲更复杂的原住民主权问题为代价来描述生态知识。
