Amsterdam; New York: Rodopi, 2013. 337 pp. US$102.00 ISBN: 9789042036482 (Hbk) http://www.rodopi.nl/senj.asp?BookId=CC+159Critical connections between Australian and Latin American literature are few and far between. Equally rare are readings which place Aboriginal literary production in Australia alongside that of Indigenous writing from Hispanic or Lusophone America. While a number of scholars have drawn comparisons between Australian Aboriginal writing and English-language Indigenous literature from North America, Indigenous writing from South and Central America has remained an almost terra incognita for Australian scholarship. Stuart Cooke's study Speaking the Earth's Languages: A Theory for Australian-Chilean Postcolonial Poetics reads Aboriginal poetic works by Paddy Roe, Butcher Joe Nangan and Lionel Fogarty along with poetry by Chilean Mapuche authors Leonel Lienlaf and Paulo Huirmilla to argue for reading strategies based on 'nomadic poetics' and 'poetic transnationalism.' The connections Cooke makes across such different cultures, geographies, histories and languages not only provide intriguing insights into Indigenous writing; they also suggest that the 'sustainable poetry' of his selected writers and the 'nomadism' of their poetic practices point towards an ecopoetics that is both relevant and urgent to broader postcolonial contexts.The book's title comes from the premise which Cooke claims is common to Aboriginal and Mapuche belief: that the origin of language is the earth itself. In Aboriginal Australia, Cooke argues, 'language is country'; knowledge through language is created and re-created in movement through country. For the Mapuche, whose traditional country comprises much of southern Chile, the word for their language, 'Mapuzugun,' literally means 'language of the earth' (18). Cooke returns to this underlying principle throughout his study: that language, and particularly poetic language, 'is necessary for the synthesis of human and world' (159). In Cooke's argument, poetry for these geographically separate Indigenous peoples emerges from and contributes to sustaining one's relationship with country.The significance of the relationship between language, poetry and country has long been recognised as crucial to an appreciation of Indigenous literatures. What is interesting and ultimately revealing and insightful in Cooke's work is his detailed application of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's concept of nomadology and Pierre Joris's understanding of nomadic poetics, to both the Australian and Mapuche contexts. In the opening chapter, Cooke insists that the philosophical and critical concepts he draws upon are not just francophone ideas and he illustrates their connections with Aboriginal Australia by recalling his experiences walking the Lurujarri Heritage Trail in Western Australia. This choice of focus is important because, as Cooke tells his readers, 'The Lurujarri Trail travels through country that we will return to frequently in this book' (8). Both Butcher Joe Nangan and Paddy Roe were important custodians of knowledge, narrative and song relating to this part of Western Australia and Cooke's opening here with a brief personal comment on his own experience of this country is useful. He describes his walking the trail with its custodians, accompanied by other students and academics, and learning in the process something of the principles of nomadology. Central to these are not only mobility and flow and a lightness of touch but also a lightness of seeing. As opposed to the all-seeing gaze of settler-colonialism, Cooke, drawing here on Stephen Muecke's work, argues for the glimpse-the partial, momentary, intensely local view-that with repeated visits to country invites one to consider patterns and connections that shift and change over extended time. The glimpse encourages one to re-consider these connections and alter one's approach, one's movement, one's dwelling when adaptation becomes crucial. …" @default.
