ABSTRACT In 1968, the Australian anthropologist W. E. H. Stanner famously articulated that the nation’s history had been wracked by a ‘great Australian silence’ with regard to the recognition of Indigenous experience. Australia’s sense of its past, he argued, its very collective memory, had been built on a state of forgetting. Beyond that disciplinary silence, however, important historical ‘noise’ was being made about Indigenous history. Popular historical fiction and poetry, Indigenous family histories and forms of popular protest all offered important counter-narratives to that formal silence from the History discipline. Scholarship in the fields of anthropology and archaeology further pressed against the silences and silencing of Australian History. This paper uses the idea of silence to complicate historiographical space in Australia. By contemplating formal History texts, vernacular historical accounts and history-making beyond the discipline, it seeks to extend our understandings of national historiographies and historical knowledge.

澳大利亚集体记忆和流行的反叙事中的寂静之声（Los sonidos del silencio en la memoria colectiva australiana y en los relatos alternativos Populares）

摘要1968年，澳大利亚人类学家WEH斯坦纳（WEH Stanner）著名地指出，在承认土著经验方面，澳大利亚的“巨大沉默”破坏了澳大利亚的历史。他认为，澳大利亚的过去感是其集体记忆，是建立在一种忘记的状态上的。然而，除了纪律沉默之外，有关土著历史的重要历史“噪音”正在形成。流行的历史小说和诗歌，土著家庭的历史和流行的抗议形式都为历史学学科的正式沉默提供了重要的反叙述。人类学和考古学领域的奖学金进一步压制了澳大利亚历史的沉默和沉默。本文使用沉默的思想使澳大利亚的史学空间复杂化。
