© 2018 Oceania Publications In the 1970s, Aboriginal people in remote Australia took decisive steps to decentralize from government settlements and missions to live and make a living on their ancestral lands at places that have become known as homelands. Over time, this migration garnered some state support and saw the emergence of new facilitating institutions. But in the last decade homeland living has been discursively demeaned by politicians, and policies have been put in place to undermine the possibility of residing and making a livelihood in these smallest, most remote places mainly located on Indigenous-titled lands. As Indigenous territorial rights expand, the state looks to extinguish possibilities for current and future generations to utilize the land and its resources for livelihood. In this article, I draw on evidence from political discourse, policy documents and programme design and implementation to outline this state project to eliminate a contemporary lifeway. I provide ethnographic evidence from work with Kuninjku people in Arnhem Land that documents this destruction. I engage with the work of Raphael Lemkin to document and theorize the techniques being deployed in terms of the logic of cultural genocide. I end by asking what homelands people might do to push back and what role anthropologists might play in such a process.

偏远澳大利亚的拉斐尔·莱姆金:文化种族灭绝和家园的逻辑

© 2018 Oceania Publications 在 1970 年代,澳大利亚偏远地区的原住民采取了果断措施,将政府定居点和任务分散,在他们祖传的土地上生活和谋生,这些地方已被称为家园。随着时间的推移,这种迁移获得了一些国家的支持,并出现了新的便利机构。但在过去十年中,政客们对家乡的生活进行了漫无目的的贬低,并且制定了政策来破坏在这些最小、最偏远的地方(主要位于原住民土地上)居住和谋生的可能性。随着土著领土权利的扩大,国家希望消除当代和后代利用土地及其资源谋生的可能性。在本文中,我从政治话语、政策文件以及项目设计和实施中汲取证据,概述了这个消除当代生活方式的国家项目。我提供了与阿纳姆地的 Kuninjku 人一起工作的人种学证据,这些证据记录了这种破坏。我参与了 Raphael Lemkin 的工作,以记录和理论化根据文化种族灭绝逻辑部署的技术。最后,我会问人们可能会采取哪些行动来反击,以及人类学家在这一过程中可能会扮演什么角色。我参与了 Raphael Lemkin 的工作,以记录和理论化根据文化种族灭绝逻辑部署的技术。最后,我会问人们可能会采取哪些行动来反击,以及人类学家在这一过程中可能会扮演什么角色。我参与了 Raphael Lemkin 的工作,以记录和理论化根据文化种族灭绝逻辑部署的技术。最后,我会问人们可能会采取哪些行动来反击,以及人类学家在这一过程中可能会扮演什么角色。
