INDSL3108 Myths and Massacres: The Historiography of Violence
This course explores the evidence relating to killings of Aborigines by Europeans and considers the interpretations which historians have placed on this evidence. The parts played by oral accounts, written records, demographic data and physical evidence in the reconstruction of past events will be examined. The relationship between historical accounts of past atrocities and the meaning and process of Reconciliation with Indigenous Australia is considered. The various positions presented in current debates concerning the meaning, purpose and accuracy of historical accounts of massacres will be reviewed.
