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

通过调查在Yuendumu定居的Warlpiri人目前所经历的社会关系的恶化，该项目开发了一个范例案例研究，有助于更好地了解当代澳大利亚原住民。它探讨了实地的现实和历史材料，以确定潜在的社会关系的转变模式。它通过一个创新的概念框架，将人类学方法与情感的跨学科研究相结合，分析了这些因素及其影响。研究结果将大大促进澳大利亚人类学的当前发展，并将对当前有关土著政策的公开辩论做出及时的定性贡献。

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.
