This volume is woven around the idea that wholeness (the firm) and fragmentation (risking formlessness) alternate in human affairs. This theme is applied to the history and the present condition of Australian Aboriginals. Their religion is seen as a way to bolster a precarious identity and to affirm order in an existence which would otherwise become formless. It deals with totemism as a form of ordering a variety of often conflicting identities. The author describes the modern predicament of Aborigines in Australian society and concludes that their revitalization will occur only when they manage to make economic self-sufficiency subordinate to a viable and firm view of existence. He critically integrates into his analyses and interpretations the positions of such well-known scholars as Frazer, Durkheim, Freud, Lévi-Strauss, Radcliffe-Brown, Eliade, and Stanner. The volume will be of interest to students of sociology, anthropology, and religion.

Issues d'une culture ancrée dans l'oralité et dans laquelle le collectif dépasse l'individuel, les femmes aborigènes d'Australie présentent des autobiographies à caractère hybride mêlant tradition et modernité. A travers leurs récits, elles racontent l'histoire de leur vie, reflet de l'histoire d'un peuple. Enlevées à leurs familles étant enfants, arrachées à leur culture traditionnelle, la majorité des femmes aborigènes ont été élevées dans des missions dirigées par les Blancs. Autobiographies « prétextes » visant à présenter une version aborigène de l'histoire australienne, leurs récits sont-ils pour autant scientifiquement fiables ? Quelles limites la mémoire impose-t-elle au récit historique ? A partir d'un corpus de vingt autobiographies publiées entre 1972 (fin de la politique d'assimilation) et 2 000 (début officiel du processus de réconciliation), Fanny Duthil analyse comment deux générations d'auteurs ont traversé la politique d'assimilation. Oscillant désormais entre deux mondes aux valeurs différentes, les femmes aborigènes parlent avec nostalgie de leur culture ancestrale et offrent au lecteur une vision du monde « autre », plus spirituelle.
