Australia - making space meaningful

Australia: Making Space Meaningful presents a selection of papers dealing with the construction of meaning in relation to Australian space. The papers were originally given during the 9th biennial conference of the Gesellschaft für Australienstudien or Association for Australian Studies (GASt). Approaches to space from a historical, political and literary perspective, questions of the displaced and their spaces, of female appropriation of space, of colonising space, past and present, of differences between German and Australian spaces and the connection between landscape and works of art by black and white artists were given a platform for discussion during this conference.
