| Abstract: | The Greeks and the Indigenous people of Australia represent two cultures of ancient
origins within the dominant Australian society. Opposing discrimination on the basis
of ethnic and minority distinctions, both support the oneness of all people.
This is the first paper, to my knowledge, which attempts to provide a comprehensive
picture of the two cultures in contact. It examines both direct and indirect influences
and the impact of Aboriginal Australian cultural aspects on a variety of first generation
Greek Australians’ artistic expression, including literature (poetry, prose, drama),
music and visual arts (painting and sculpture). |
