Buch Details

«Legacies of Resistance is an exemplary book! Dutto explores how contemporary Indigenous Australian artists/filmmakers are retelling the lives of three key Indigenous Australians, famed for their resistance to British colonial violence, warriors for Indigenous rights during extreme frontier violence. This work will appeal to scholars of screen/media studies, Indigenous studies, anthropology and cultural studies, and historical studies.» (Faye Ginsburg, David B. Kriser Professor of Anthropology and Director, NYU Center for Media, Culture and History, New York University)

«Matteo Dutto combines meticulously well-researched knowledge and understanding of Australia's First Nation resistance fighters, expert moving image textual analysis and an inspired appropriation of the concept of «crosshatching» from China Mieville's novel The City & the City. In this highly original and significant contribution to scholarship, Dutto's love of storytelling and his own considerable storytelling skills are informed and enhanced by what proves to be an invaluable perspective: that of an outsider.» (Associate Professor Jane Mills, University of New South Wales, Sydney)

Matteo Dutto is Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics at Monash University. His current research explores how cultural producers collaborate with Indigenous, migrant and multiethnic communities to produce transmedia and transcultural counter-narratives of belonging and identity. His work has been published in Studies in Documentary Film and Fulgor and he recently collaborated on the production of the Australian Indigenous Film and Television (AIFTV) online knowledge sharing platform (aiftv-research.net).
