Postcolonial Justice in Australia
Die Reihe KOALAS thematisiert und dokumentiert den Wandel europäischer Australien-Perspektiven vom populären Klischee zur wissenschaftlich fundierten Kenntnis. Sie wird getragen von der Gesellschaft für Australienstudien e.V., der interdisziplinären wissenschaftlichen Organisation, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, Australienstudien in den deutschsprachigen Ländern auf breiter Basis zu fördern und ihre Entwicklung in Forschung und Lehre zum allgemeinen Nutzen voranzutreiben. This volume presents a collection of ten selected and expanded papers of the 2014 conference of the Association for Australian Studies (GASt) in Potsdam and Berlin. They are supplemented by a comprehensive introduction to the complex ways in which the universal notion of justice is continuously renegotiated against the local and cultural particularities of the Australian context. Often – though not exclusively – concerned with the legacy of Australia’s colonial past, the contributions address questions of access and redistribution, obligation and recognition, reparation and restitution, reimagination, reconciliation and forgiveness. The concept of the ‘fair go’, often posited as a key truth of Australian identity, promises a unique take on these issues. Together, the contributions combine historical depth and a breadth of disciplinary backgrounds with an ethical commitment to the possibility of a ‘fair go’ for all.
