{"product_id":"its-a-power-von-susan-jenkins","title":"It''s a Power:","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis manuscript focuses on a major Australian work  of art: The Aboriginal Memorial. The installation  of 200 hollow log coffins was made by 43 artists  from Central Arnhem Land, in Australia''s  bicentennial year of 1988, to represent 200 years  of European settlement and commemorate all the  Indigenous Australians who died as a result of  conflict, but were denied burial rites. It proposes  that there are other ways to look at The Memorial,  both in form and content, than have previously been  investigated. These are therefore examined and  argued in this work, while attention is paid to  such issues as Yolngu mortuary practices, the  influence of European settlers on traditional  practices, the entry of such mortuary pieces into  the public and gallery domain, a clan-based  interpretation of the imagery on the hollow logs  and memorialisation (in western culture). The  Aboriginal Memorial is on permanent display at The  National Gallery of Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838324685\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Interpretation of The Aboriginal Memorial in its Ethnographic, Museological, Art Historical and  Political Contexts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838324685","offer_id":39469196116061,"sku":"9783838324685","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/2405e0b8-d143-4c08-bd8e-d9790ee98089.jpg?v=1747547039","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/its-a-power-von-susan-jenkins","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
