Nature's Place As A Cultural Chameleon: The Case Of Uluru
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Richard Michael Head Common Ground Research Networks (12 Mar. 2021) Uluru (Ayers Rock) is an extraordinary phenomenon--a distinctive and unique place of Nature, constructed from different layers of nature. The infrastructure layer is the Rock itself as imagined independently of cultural gaze, a place in and of itself created over timeless age through geological movement and weathering to what it is today (First-layered Nature). It is a 'natural' place so noticeable that one's imagination is assaulted with images, resulting in multiple natural constructions influenced by cultural and societal background of diverse reactions to the 'naturalness' (Second-layered Nature). From the Indigenous Australian perspective for thousands of years up to contact with non-Aboriginal Australians, the Rock was a lived space and not just as a representational space, whereas non-Aboriginal Australians with their eye for capitalist advancement regard the Rock in terms of nature as commodity. The result of this capitalist 'advancement', has seen the non-Aboriginal Australian nature as commodity of the Rock translate it into a promoted place and space of natural tourist landscape (Third-layered Nature). a very good copy
