What Falls from View? On Re-Reading Alexis Wright's Plains of Promise,
single work
criticism
(p. 70-84)'Reading is a visual practice. It always involves a scene. What scenes do white readers of Plains of Promise gaze upon as they hold its pages in their hands? If the visual field is always structured by desire - in the words of Parveen Adams, 'I enjoy what I see and I see what I enjoy' (111) - then a question insists: what scenes can white readers see when we read an Indigenous-signed text such as this one? What scene will our desires produce, and what might fall from view.' (Introduction, p. 70)
- Indigenous Sovereignty and the Crisis of Whiteness in Alexis Wright's Carpentaria, single work criticism (p. 85-100)
