“…Likewise, scholars from various disciplines have considered the role of photography, literature and performance as sites of memory and history (Aird et al, 2021;Edmonds, 2016;Lydon, 2014;Schlunke, 2013), and work has been done to question whose memories and perspectives are included in remembrance (Curthoys, 2004;Nugent, 2013). Readers can already find detailed histories of Indigenous-settler relations in specific locales, sometimes drawing particularly on Indigenous oral history (Blake, 2001;Davis & Heath, 2021;Haebich, 1992;Schlunke, 2010;Shellam, 2020).…”

“…More importantly, however, we argue that the deep structural and historical interconnections between the southern settler colonies can be illuminated by texts that bear "the traces of a different [colonial] history" to North American, Indian, and Caribbean histories (Boer, 2016: 33). We point also to the cultural importance of other, less visible mobilities and transnationalisms, including those that took place within and across Indigenous communities and diasporas (Shellam, 2020;Wanhalla, 2018).…”

Rethinking nineteenth-century literary culture: British worlds, southern latitudes and hemispheric methods

Drawing on hemispheric, oceanic, and southern theory approaches, this article argues for the value of considering the nineteenth-century literary cultures of the southern settler colonies of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa from within an interconnected frame of analysis. First, because of their distinctive historical and structural conditions; second, because of the density of their interregional networks and relations across intersecting oceanic spaces; and third, because of the long history of racialized imperialist imaginaries of the south. This methodological position rethinks current approaches to “British world” studies in two important ways: first, by decoupling the southern settler colonies from studies of settler colonialism in North America; and second, by rebalancing its metropolitan and northern locus by considering south-south networks and relations across a complex of southern islands, oceans, and continents. Without suggesting either that imperial intercultural exchanges with Britain are unimportant or that there is a culturally homogenous body of pan-southern writing, we argue that nineteenth-century literary culture from colonial Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa — what we call a “southern archive” — can provide a counterbalance to northern biases and provide new purchase on nation-centred literary paradigms — one that reveals not just south-south transnational exchanges and structural homologies between southern genres, themes, and forms, but also allows us to acknowledge the important challenges to foundational accounts of national literary canons initiated by southern theory and Indigenous studies scholars.
