A selection of the late Indigenous Australian artist's jubilantly colorful abstractions The Indigenous Australian artist Sally Gabori (c. 1924-2015) began painting late in life, at about the age of 80. Over the course of her 10-year career, she produced around 3,000 paintings, a volume that speaks to the unfettered passion with which she embarked upon her art. Published in conjunction with the artist's first retrospective in France, this monograph features 96 artworks, including the selection of 30 paintings in the exhibition. The book invites further discovery of Gabori's colorful, abstract oeuvre--which is keenly informed by the history of her people, the Kaiadilt--with contributions from Nicolas Evans, a scholar of Kaiadilt culture and friend of Sally Gabori's family, as well as Judith Ryan and Bruce McLean, curators of Indigenous art. These contributors read her practice through the context of Indigenous traditions.

This volume presents detailed comparative studies on various non-Pama-Nyungan languages of Northern Australia, marking the first comprehensive examination of this linguistically diverse region, which encompasses around 90% of Australia's linguistic diversity within just an eighth of its land area. Originating from a workshop at the 1989 Australian Linguistics Society conference, many papers have been revised or newly written, reflecting significant developments in the field since the original discussions. The introduction provides an overview of key issues in comparative non-Pama-Nyungan studies, offering a current survey of language classification and subgrouping, as well as their relationship to Pama-Nyungan languages. Subsequent sections delve into subgrouping, reconstruction, and areal influences relevant to specific non-Pama-Nyungan families or regions. The final sections explore the possibility of reconstructing deeper ancestral levels for these languages, aiming to identify a common origin for most non-Pama-Nyungan families. Overall, the volume demonstrates that the comparative method remains applicable to Australian languages, featuring intricate studies of morphological reconstruction within complex paradigms.

« L'orignal émergea d'entre les arbres en feu et s'arrêta sur la corniche juste au-dessus de lui. Son poil était entièrement roussi et ses bois brûlaient comme des torches. Il le regarda, et Connor eut l'impression d'être un païen frappé de stupeur devant l'apparition d'un dieu ancien ou d'un esprit malfaisant surgi d'un autre monde. La seconde suivante, l'animal avait disparu comme s'il n'avait jamais existé. Connor savait cependant que c'était un pré-sage, mais il ignorait s'il était bon ou mauvais. » Après L'homme qui murmurait à l'oreille des chevaux et Le Cercle des loups , le nouveau grand roman de Nicholas Evans.
