Sie ist nicht einmal vergangen“ (Faulkner 1960: 44) beschreibt sehr treffend die Nachwirkungen der Ereignisse des Zweiten Weltkriegs, deren Schatten noch immer über uns liegen. Während dieser Zeit ereigneten sich viele Dinge, und manche von ihnen sind auch heute noch einem Großteil der Bevölkerung unbekannt. Eines dieser Ereignisse ist die Geschichte der Dunera Boys. Ein Jahr nach Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs befürchtete die britische Regierung eine Invasion der Nationalsozialisten. Nachdem sie jüdische männliche Flüchtlinge als mögliche deutsche Spione verdächtigte, wurden diese als feindliche Ausländer (enemy aliens) inhaftiert. Hierbei handelte es sich um 75 000 Juden, wovon mehr als 2 000 mit der Dunera nach Australien verschifft wurden und dort, in zwei Lagern interniert, 1,5 Jahre verbrachten.

At the heart of Klein’s study is the idea that “contemporary fiction by Australian Aborigi nal writers is one medium that raises awareness of the importance and impli-cations of being part of such networks of relations that span the human and non-human realm” (2). It is indeed this emphasis on the connections between the human and the non-human which guides Klein’s analysis throughout the book and which is the focus of her understanding of relationality. She identifies “ ‘a poetics of relationality’ ” (4), i.e., a particular way of storytelling that originates in Country, which is constitutive for Aboriginal narratives and can, according to Klein, best be understood by looking at form and narrative techniques. Due to her focus on form and narrative strategies, Klein uses the ideas of “New Formal-ism and contextualised narratologies” (7) as her point of departure but develops an innovative approach to relationality by combining and bringing into dialogue the ideas of Edouard Glissant and Jean-Luc Nancy with Aboriginal texts and onto-epistemologies (11).

As the progeny of a predominantly white, Victorian settlement on the far rim of the Asia-Pacific region, Australians have been acutely conscious of their belatedness, isolation and reliance on a transplanted culture. These factors, together with continued dependence on powerful allies, have produced Australians' notorious \"cultural cringe\". Australia, too, throughout its relatively brief history of Caucasian settlement, has usually been acted upon, rather than taken decisive steps to shape its own destiny. Like Holden Shadbolt, the main protagonist of Bail's second novel, Holden's Performance, who is at times \"unable to talk\", the country \"appeared to need a shove in the right direction. This was always his trouble, the problem\" (159). For the first hundred and twenty years it meekly followed the dictates of Whitehall, until granted independent status at Federation in 1901. Thereafter it prided itself on loyalty to the British flag, and remained dependent on London for investment capital, as well as markets for its primary produce. Only the \"shove\" provided by Japan's attempt to extend its empire during the Pacific War moved the loyal Commonwealth member-state from the side of an isolated and encircled Britain to embrace the burgeoning superpower on the other side of the Pacific, the United States. Bail, in his early novels, is concerned with the antipodean nation that emerged victorious after the Second World War, and with national traits and blindness that threatened to rob the Great South Land of the glittering destiny that might have awaited it as a developed Western nation positioned near the rising economic epicentres of the Asia-Pacific region.","PeriodicalId":331318,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Australienstudien / Australian Studies Journal","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127659595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
