Project Details
Description
In both Australia and Canada, testimony has been used extensively in coming to terms with the histories, legacies and effects of settler colonialism. This project aims to develop an innovative transnational framework for analysing testimonial narratives produced and circulated in post-colonial contexts. Drawing on the expertise of Australian and Canadian researchers, this project will analyse Australian and Canadian materials in relation both to national contexts, and to transnational concepts such as reconciliation, human rights, and genocide. By highlighting the significance of Australian and Canadian materials, it will ensure these countries a place in the emerging international field of testimony, trauma and cultural memory studies.
