Yes, that’s what a theory is, exactly like a tool box ... A theory has to be used, it has to work. And not just for itself. If there is no one to use it, starting with the theorist himself who, as soon as he uses it ceases to be a theorist, then a theory is worthless, or its time has not yet arrived. You don’t go back to a theory, you make new ones, you have others to make. It is strange that Proust, who passes for a pure intellectual, should articulate it so clearly: use my book, he says, like a pair of glasses to view the outside, and if it isn’t to your liking, find another pair, or invent your own, and your device will necessarily be a device you can fight with.1

HE RECENT REPRINTING BY RE.PRESS OF STEPHEN MUECKE, KRIM BENTERRAK AND Paddy Roe’s Reading the Country: Introduction to Nomadology (1984) is a useful reminder, thirty years on, of just how contemporary this remarkable book still is.1 Although it isn’t ‘anthropological’ (and speaks in fact about the ‘death of anthropology’, a discipline from which it distances itself), Reading the Country nevertheless embarks on a journey with which anthropologists would be only too familiar: with Muecke getting into the car, driving out to a remote community in north-west Western Australia to encounter a Moroccan artist and a senior Aboriginal man, Paddy Roe, and talking and listening, transcribing, and then reflecting on what has been transcribed. The book is also an expression of male companionship—if we think of the meaning of ‘companion’, with bread—where three men (and, sometimes, others) come to know each other by sitting down together, and making spaces for each other, although in very different ways, with very different outcomes: stories and narratives, paintings, and various intellectual meditations on all this that drew extensively and specifically on Deleuze and Guattari’s use of the term nomadology.

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)
