边缘之声 -- 当代澳大利亚土著文学与移民文学批评

In the 1970s, the advent of various Euro-American literary theories and the rise of numerous local anti-cultural initiatives combined to reshape the scene of Australian literary criticism. In less than two decades, aboriginal and migrant writing, among others, formed their own critical communities with their own spokespersons( Mudrooroo Narogin and Sneja Gunew). And in critiquing the establishment, aboriginal and migrant critics proposed their own views about what constitutes Australian literature. In the early 1990s, however, these critical voices were overwhelmed by a right-wing-led conservative backlash. It is argued that the sharp decline of these two fringe initiatives reflects the changes of Australia from a multicultural back to a conservative white-supremacist society.
