Title: | Indigenous Exotic: Cosmopolitan Dingoes and Brumbies | Contributor(s): | McDougall, Russell J (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | DOI: | 10.1163/9789004300668_011 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20066 | Abstract: | For historical reasons as well as strategic political purposes the deployment of indigeneity as a category of identity across the human world varies enormously. This has led to a number of confusions about what indigeneity is, and hence who its legitimate subscribers are. In some contexts indigeneity emerges as a competitive rather than a collaborative project. To complicate matters further, indigeneity is a category of identification that applies to animal and botanical subjects as well as human-animal. In this essay, a cosmopolitan and posthuman perspective is opened on the question of introduced and indigenous species. Working through two case studies of indigeneity and exoticism -the Australian dingo (wild dog) and the Australian brumby (wild horse)- the essay re-imagines indigeneity as a category of identity not restricted to but crucially enabling of what it means to be human. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Vernacular Worlds, Cosmopolitan Imagination, p. 183-217 | Publisher: | Brill | Place of Publication: | Leiden, Netherlands | ISBN: | 9789004300644 9789004300668 |
