ABSTRACT This article reads contemporary Australian Indigenous poetics to substantiate the argument that nuclear threats inherently reproduce the same colonial tendencies of ontologic-epistemic categorisation and social hierarchisation through which terra nullius was claimed. Given the legacy of family destruction, forced assimilation and genocide advanced by colonial powers, and the incursion of nuclear industries on sovereign land, it is unsurprising that Indigenous people have yoked nuclear industry with a history of bio-political efforts to control life and land. In analysing nuclear threats in the poetry of Ali Cobby Eckermann and Lionel Fogarty this article will contextualise and historicise Indigenous Australian relations to the nuclear imaginary. Highlighting the risk to Indigenous communities at each iteration of the nuclear cycle, this essay will contextualise the threats to Country through which Indigenous spiritual lives are unified. It will be argued that Indigenous-led representations of nuclear weaponry can only be properly critiqued when framed through the constructs of race, nationhood and the history of colonisation in Australia.

炸弹的白度：澳大利亚本土诗学中的核武器，种族与民族

摘要本文阅读了当代澳大利亚土著诗学，以证实以下观点：核威胁固有地再现了本体论，流行病分类和社会等级制的相同殖民倾向，并以此来宣称土地无效。鉴于家庭破坏的遗产，殖民大国的强行同化和种族灭绝以及核工业在主权土地上的入侵，土著人民拥有控制生命和土地的生物政治努力历史的核工业，这一点不足为奇。在分析阿里·科比·埃克曼和莱昂内尔·福加蒂的诗歌中的核威胁时，本文将把澳大利亚原住民与核假想的关系进行情境化和历史化。强调在每次核循环中土著社区面临的风险，本文将结合本土精神生活对国家的威胁进行背景介绍。有人认为，只有通过种族，民族和澳大利亚殖民历史的构架，才能适当地批判以原住民为首的核武器代表制。
