The focus of this special issue of Australian - Canadian Studies
is writing that supports or is about Indigenous Media in Canada
and Australia. The editorial board for this issue will have
representation from indigenous and non-indigenous writers and
artists.

Indigenous media is broadly defined here to include diverse
modalities and genres of writing ( scripts, critique, musical
notation, poetry, narratives, photography). We invite interviews
with media practitioners, reviews of concerts, books, events,
accounts of collaborative work, prose (fiction and non-fiction),
journalistic writing, documentation of institutional and
political work of all kinds.

With the recent high profile given to Indigenous Issues during
the Year of Indigenous People (1993), this is an opportunity to
document and reiterate the vitality and diversity  of Indigenous
media - to track its contemporary intellectual and creative
currents.

Ironically as both Canada and Australia struggle with questions
of nationhood (the constitution and the Republic) the place of
their respective aboriginal populations is increasingly the key
to their self-understanding as nations. Indigenous cultural
practices redefine the collective identities intended for them
and therefore represent crucial documentation of a  politics of
identity.

Because Indigenous cultural practices have consistently
challenged European conceptions of medium and genre, the editors
encourage submissions that continue in this tradition.

In this spirit we open this issue of the journal to  your
contributions.

Hart.
