"Even after thirty years the Mavromatis family cannot understand their life in Australia. Until Peter Mavromatis's first exhibition as an "ethnic" photographer clarifies everything. In this collection of stories we follow the family fortunes. Old YiaYia had already lived her life in the old country. Christois and Elli wage a private war as confused as the motives which brought them from Cyprus. For Peter, their Austalian born son and proud hope for the future, life is a contest of shallow cultural identities and allegiances. Ikons is a vivid and contentious portrayal of a family united only by society's view of them as outsiders" 198p. Remainder mark,else near fine. Book

ill., br. I miti della religione aborigena - nel presente lavoro Strehlow fa riferimento agli Aranda dell'Australia centrale - sono strettamente legati alla natura dei territori che le tribù semi-nomadi solevano attraversare nei loro percorsi rituali. Si tratta di percorsi segnati non solo dalle tracce del passaggio concreto dei membri di ciascuna tribù, ma anche dalle tracce degli antenati totemici, veri e propri archetipi di ciascun individuo, costruiti in modo tale da dar luogo a una religione monototemica individuale, con segnali, tabù e rituali specifici per ogni membro della tribù. Il testo unisce al fascino per le tradizioni culturali aborigene del "popolo dei canti" e dei loro miti la precisione di uno studioso con un approccio avulso da inutili accademismi.
