- EXERCISING DOMINION: LANDSCAPE, CIVILISATION AND RACIAL POLITICS IN CAPRICORNIA Michael Ellis Lengua y Literatura Settler Colonial Landscape Indigenous Colonisation he Land in Xavier Herbert’s 1937 novel Capricornia acts as a “medium” (38), according to Lydia Wevers, mediating all experiences and developments. In particular, the land is a site of contention between Indigenous and settler groups each vying for an existence very diferent from the other’s. he phrase “exercising dominion” (Fitzmaurice 56) was developed by European thinkers in the Middle Ages, who were tasked with inding justiication for the colonisation of the Holy Lands of the Middle East and the mineral-rich lands of the Americas. his article will analyse the settlement and colonisation of the Northern Territory as depicted in Capricornia with consideration of the above statement, particularly as it explores the opposing groups’ attitudes towards and interactions with the Land and each other. 2016 artículo científico 2175-8026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=478355263010 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
