Funded Activity Summary

Transformations in Aboriginal central Australia: A study of Warlpiri social relations in a time of crisis. By investigating the deterioration of social relations currently experienced by Warlpiri people at the settlement of Yuendumu, this project develops a paradigmatic case study contributing towards better understanding contemporary Aboriginal Australia. It explores on-the-ground realities and historical material to identify patterns underlying the transformations of social relations. It analyses these and their effects through an innovative conceptual framework integrating anthropological approaches with the interdisciplinary study of the emotions. The outcomes will considerably further current developments in Australian anthropology and it will make a timely qualitative contribution to current public debates about Aboriginal policy.
