Dislocating the Self: Anthropological Field Work in the Kimberley, Western Australia, 1934-1936

Abstract The phonologies of Australia can now be investigated with new tools for large-scale phonological typology. Here we draw on an empirical dataset covering three hundred thousand lexical entries from over two hundred and fifty language varieties, which enables us to understand continent-level phonological variation in significantly more detail than previously. Variation is observed in terms of major genealogical groupings of languages, comparing the variation among them and within them. Three topics are selected based on their importance to our understanding of continental phonological diversity in Australia, and their potential to shed new light within the space available. They are: the principle characteristics and parameters of variation in consonant phonotactics; vowel phonotactics, specifically statistical harmony between vowels in adjacent syllables; and issues of analysis at the intersection of segment inventories and phonotactics, namely contour segments such as prestopped nasals.

Abstract The Oxford Guide to Australian languages is a wide-ranging reference work that provides information about the more than 550 traditional and new Indigenous languages of Australia. There are chapters covering phonology, morphology, and syntax; language change, typology, and language classification, and language in the social sphere, including sociolinguistics and language variation, child-directed speech, and multilingualism. It describes the contemporary linguistic landscape, including language endangerment and reclamation. It is an up-to-date compendium of knowledge on traditional and contemporary languages, with a particular focus on material which is not covered in the handbooks from the past.

Connecting the Dots: Case Studies into the ‘Invisible Presence’ of Aboriginal People Living in Victoria

A review of the relationship between anthropology and the Aboriginal people of the South-East of Australia since 1926 when the chair of anthropology at the University of Sydney was created is presented. The Aboriginal people of South-East were subjected to the destructive force of colonization and the history of dispossession and removal has affected the way in which anthropology has dealt with Aboriginal life in the South-East.

Ronald and Catherine Berndt were Australian anthropology's most well-known and prolific practitioners in the period after AP Elkin - a period from about 1950 until their respective deaths in 1990 and 1994. The two met in Elkin's rooms in April 1940 and married the following year. Their intellectual and personal debt to Elkin was enormous, which they recognised. But it was also a burden, one that they attempted to shake off for the rest of their professional lives. This paper, by focusing on Ronald and Catherine Berndt, examines the role of patronage in the academy as a way of elucidating the formation and shaping of the discipline of anthropology in Australian universities in the period 1940 to 1956, the year when Ronald Berndt obtained a position as senior lecturer in anthropology in the University of Western Australia. During this period Elkin, Professor of anthropology, managed to obtain research funding for the Berndts, occasional employment in the Sydney Department of Anthropology as well as sending them to the London School of Economics to do their PhDs, and finally obtaining a position for Ronald as lecturer in the University of Sydney. HD Skinner at Otago (New Zealand) promoted Catherine and it was he who encouraged her to attend Sydney. Due to University regulations she was unable to obtain a tenured position. Professional anthropology in Australia had such a small base that a patron like Elkin was critical to success. The Berndts were not the brightest and best of Elkin's students - a fact acknowledged by Elkin - yet they went on to accept his mantle as the authorities on all matters to do with Aboriginal Australia and Aboriginal Studies. Academic brilliance does not necessarily secure a position and/or success in the academy, a fact Elkin had observed earlier: 'anthropological field work in Australia does not demand brilliance in examinations'.

The Chifley Labor government announced on 19 November 1946 that they had agreed to the British government's request that a guided projectile range be established in the 'largely' uninhabited spaces of Central Australia: 'except for a few pastoral leases at the firing point end in South Australia, the Central Australian Aboriginal Reserves and a few more pastoral leases adjacent to the Ninety Mile Beach in Western Australia, the area of the range and that which it is proposed to reserve for eventual extensions, is largely uninhabited'.' There was some concern over the effect this development would have on Aborigines living in the area and the encroachment on the nearby Central Australian Aboriginal Reserve.

Aborigines, Elkin and the Guided Projectiles Project

A study describing Chief Protector of Aborigines in Western Australia, AO Neville's successful attempt to discredit Ralph Piddington by scrutinising his personal behaviour, to avert the veracity of the allegations made by Piddington, and the inadequacies of Neville's department. By this strategy the seriousness of the allegations made by Piddington about the ill-treatment and conditions of Aborigines at La Grange Bay in Northwest Western Australia are expunged. It is my contention that there was a deliberate effort by Neville to mislead the Australian National Research Council (ANRC), his Minister (W.H. Kitson) and the Royal Commissioner (H.D. Moseley), with regard to the substance of Piddington's allegations, and with regard to the recommendations made by a departmental inquiry and police reports. The consequences for Piddington were considerable.
