?Topos of Journeying across Australian Outback : Re-reading Robyn Davidson's Tracks as a Master Narrative?
Original language description
In the presentation I propose to revisit Robyn Davidson's cult travel narrative Tracks (1980) and to reflect on the ways in which the account of this journey, popularly framed as a "1700-mile trek of a camel lady across Australian desert", contributed tosetting up paradigmatic tropes for later narratives of women travelling to the Outback. Relating theories of gender and space, the tropes include journey as healing and spiritual re-birth; appropriating the space as feminine and outlining feminist cartography; engaging with (female) Indigeneity and confronting one's whiteness; conflation of autobiography/memoir and biography of a place.
