Chingaipe, Santilla. (2024). Black Convicts: How Slavery Shaped Australia. Manhattan: Scribner. Read: Introduction As for a creative work, if possible, I would prefer to pair it with an exhibition which was displayed at Footscray Community Arts Centre as part of this year’s Asiatopa: Chronotopia by Sim Chi Yin. Here is a link to the page of the artist, which includes the bulk of the booklet accompanying the exhibition and beautiful photographs which show the layout of the space and displays. I believe it is a good pairing for this text: both attempt to excavate the stories of those who came before us, and both do this work as a means to find their way through inherited trauma while seeking a future which may transcend it.  Chronotopia Sim Yi Chin“Chronotopia”, solo exhibition in Melbourne – sim chi yin.  Kav Peterson 
Mika, C., Andreotti, V., Cooper, G., Cash, A., & Silva, D. (2020). The ontological differences between wording and worlding the world. Language, Discourse & Society, 8(1), 17-32. The article can be accessed outside the firewall here: https://www.language-and-society.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Mika-et-al._Language-Discourse-Society_Vol81_June2020-21-36.pdf As a creative pairing, you could consider the humorous/alarming introduction to the character of Ricky Baker in Hunt for the Wilderpeople, where the social worker introduces Ricky’s character to his new foster parents. I love the contrast of worlds in this scene… and how the social worker uses words to keep Ricky in his place as a Māori boy who is presumably destined for Juvenile detention.   Hunt for the Wilderpeople- A Real Bad Egg  Michelle Tourbier

STOLER, A. L. (1995). Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault’s History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things. Duke University Press. https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv11319d6   Race and the Education of Desire https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/346/Race-and-the-Education-of-DesireFoucault-s-History   Recommended reading is –   Chapter 1: Colonial studies and the history of sexuality.  You will find that text in the Deakin library through Proquest ebook Central:    https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/deakin/detail.action?docID=3008016   Also found is a copy of the site outside the Deakin firewall for those who cannot access the materials through the Deakin library: https://patriciolepe.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ann-laura-stoler-race-and-the-education-of-desire-foucault_s-history-of-sexuality-and-the-colonial-order-of-things-1995.pdf  Further reading:  Chapter IV: Cultivating Bourgeois Bodies and Racial Selves. As an artistic pairing, I recommend the TED talk by Sasha Sarago on Decolonising Beauty, which shows many of the practices Stoler identifies in the colonial context can be extended to the modern western/Australian conceptions of beauty. You can access Sasha’s talk here:  https://www.ted.com/talks/sasha_sarago_the_de_colonizing_of_beauty?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare  Michelle Tourbier 
Piller, I., Butorac, D., Farrell, E., Lising, L., Motaghi-Tabari, S., & Tetteh, V. W. (2024). Life in a New Language. Oxford University Press Academic US.  You can find that in the Deakin library at: https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/deakin/detail.action?docID=31508967  There are many great chapters, but I recommend   Chapter 2: Arriving in a New Language which shows how English as a global colonising force operates differently in different contexts, and how that is encountered by many new migrants to Australia.     As an artistic pairing, I recommend viewing the following video which lists indigenous languages which were rendered extinct or marginalised through language colonisation in Australia:  Australia’s Lost Languages  https://youtu.be/niQ1du2kJGM?si=WxOIdB5YyNRTY3uy  Also, for an evocative exhibition which brings back to life an ‘extinct language’, I recommend viewing the following video from the NGV Exhibition Belonging Stories of Australian Art  (6 Dec 2019 – 1 Aug 2021) which you will find at the bottom of the page under the Wesfarmers Arts logo: https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/belonging/  When viewing the suggested material, I recommend considering the absent presence of the indigenous languages which were rendered extinct or irrelevant through the colonisation process in combination with how new immigrants bring with them and encounter colonising experiences of English to Australia.  Michelle Tourbier
