BiographyHistory

Brenda Machosky is Professor of English at The University of Hawai`i, West O`ahu. Her work focuses on a new theory of allegory, which is elaborated in her book: Structures of Appearing: Allegory and the Work of Literature (Fordham University Press 2012). Brenda has published on the Gwion Gwion rock art of the Kimberley and recently she has been working on Indigenous health and wellbeing through Aboriginal and Maori literature.She is carefully working through a relation between allegory as a structure that supports two things in the same space at the same time (a violation of western logic) and an understanding of the law/dreaming of Aboriginal peoples.
