Westcott, Robyn2009-09-042010-12-202009-09-042010-12-20Humanities Research XIII.1 (2006): 5-151440-06691834-8491http://hdl.handle.net/10440/799http://digitalcollections.anu.edu.au/handle/10440/799The question that animates this paper is deceptively simple: what is brought into ‘play’ in the conjunction of the signifiers ‘Britishness’ and ‘Otherness’? Is the coupling of these two terms merely a taxonomic convenience, a way of marking out apparently fixed, mostly immutable categories such as ‘nation’, ‘cultural practice’, ‘ethnicity’ and ‘Empire’? Or, conversely, is the opposition of ‘Britain-as-subject’ and its panoply of archipelagic and colonial ‘objects’ essentially a tactical manoeuvre driven by ongoing investments in a particular kind of narrative economy?11 pageshttp://epress.anu.edu.au/faqs/faqs_copyright.html#1 "Authors are not permitted to publish works published by ANU E Press on any other web site except their personal sites or sites associated with their institutions, as long as these are non-commercial sites.
