Transformations in Aboriginal central Australia: A study of Warlpiri social relations in a time of crisis

通过调查沃利皮里人目前在元杜姆定居点经历的社会关系恶化，该项目制定了一个范例案例研究，有助于更好地了解当代的土著澳大利亚。它探索实地的现实和历史材料，以确定社会关系转变的潜在模式。它通过一个创新的概念框架来分析这些及其影响，该框架将人类学方法与情感的跨学科研究相结合。这些成果将大大促进澳大利亚人类学目前的发展，并将对当前关于土著政策的公开辩论做出及时的质的贡献。

By investigating the deterioration of social relations currently experienced by Warlpiri people at the settlement of Yuendumu, this project develops a paradigmatic case study contributing towards better understanding contemporary Aboriginal Australia. It explores on-the-ground realities and historical material to identify patterns underlying the transformations of social relations. It analyses these and their effects through an innovative conceptual framework integrating anthropological approaches with the interdisciplinary study of the emotions. The outcomes will considerably further current developments in Australian anthropology and it will make a timely qualitative contribution to current public debates about Aboriginal policy.
