| Summary: | Over the past two decades, Indigenous archives have been created in several isolated communities in central and northern Australia. The use of digital technology has enabled members of these communities to rediscover their ancestors’ traces, which since the 1920s have been dispersed into ethnographic archives and museums in Australia and abroad. Benefiting from an institutional policy conducive to the digital repatriation of sources, this Indigenous archival turn was accompanied by epistemological reflection by local experts on legitimate processes of transmitting this returned knowledge. From initial controversies surrounding the centralisation of clan knowledge on one single server, to the development of complex policies on the access and use of this data, modelled on the kinship system (gurrutu), the digitisation of Aboriginal knowledge reflects social issues that are far from virtual. In Arnhem Land, it has generated formidable creativity and new artistic practices, a few examples of which will be presented here. |
