Syllabus: Theories on ways of knowing Indigenous Australian culture currently available to non-Indigenous Australian people. The three main available discourses, according to Muecke, are racist, anthropological and romantic, and are seen as normal, natural and universal. A fourth discourse, one that is primarily framed and articulated by Indigenous Australian people, offers a critique of, or counter discourse to, these 'naturalised' ways of knowing.
