- Title
On being woken up: The dreamtime in anthropology and in Australian settler culture.
- Authors
Wolfe, Patrick
- Abstract
Traces the origin and historical development of the Dreamtime concept and shows how its affinity with the theoretical environment of late nineteenth-century anthropology followed from an ideological legacy linking the concept of themes that were fundamental to European colonial expansion. The concept's genealogy is traced through anthropological theorising to the local ideologies of a frontier culture; Historical and cultural registers; The Dreaming complex.
