Abstract

In this chapter I will look briefly at interdisciplinarity in the context of cross-cultural communication. The communication I"m interested in is between Indigenous peoples and European settlers in contemporary Australia — specifically, the ways in which the settlers' voice represents the voice of the Indigenous "other".
