| contents | THE PROPOSITION: IMAGINING RACE, FAMILY AND VIOLENCE ON THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY AUSTRALIAN FRONTIER Catriona Elder Lengua y Literatura Australian Cinema Frontier Violence National Belonging Settler Colonialism he Western in Cinema his article analyses John Hillcoat’s 2005 ilm he Proposition in relation to a spate of Australian ilms about violence and the (post)colonial encounter released in the early twenty-irst century. Extending on Felicity Collins and herese Davis argument that these ilms can be read in terms of the ways they capture or refract aspects of contemporary race relations in Australia in a post-Mabo, this article analyses how he Proposition reconstructs the trauma of the Australian frontier; how from the perspective of the twenty-irst century it worries over the meaning of violence on the Australian frontier. It also explores what has become speakable (and remains unspeakable) in the public sphere about the history of the frontier encounter, especially in terms of family and race. he article argues that he Proposition and other early twenty-irst century race relations ilms can be understood as post-reconciliation ilms, emerging in a period when Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians were rethinking ideas of belonging through a prism of post-enmity and forgiveness. Drawing on the theme of violence and intimate relations in the ilm, this article argues that the challenges to the everyday formulation of Australian history profered in he Proposition reveal painful and powerful diferences amongst Australian citizens’ understanding of who belongs and how they came to belong to the nation. I suggest that by focusing on violence in terms of intimacy, relationships, family and kin, it is possible to see this ilm presented an opportunity to begin to reigure ideas of belonging. 2016 artículo científico 2175-8026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=478355263003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4783 Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.69 |
