Visions of the Island. The mimetic and the ludic in Australian postcolonialism

This thesis offers a unique perspective on Australian postcolonialism, focusing on the mimetic and ludic dimensions of 'the island' metaphor. It explores how this metaphor shapes cultural narratives and identities in Australia, drawing from literary analysis and interdisciplinary insights. The study highlights the significance of silence and cultural encounters at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park as critical elements in understanding postcolonial identity. By integrating historical orientation with diplomatic vision, the research provides a nuanced approach to interpreting Australian literature and culture through the lens of postcolonial theory.
