Material Representations
What we propose here today is a reconfiguration of western ways of representationalist thinking. The purpose is to provide an alternative way of thinking about ideology and ontology in relation to culture.
So what is this thinking based on representationalist world-views?
Through an examination and critique of western notions of ideology, particularly those based on Lois Althusser’s account of ideology grounded in imaginary conditions of existence, we aim to propose an alternative way of thinking about ideology and ontology. Our argument relates specifically to art and culture and is demonstrated through theoretical argument and practice, how Indigenous art and culture allow us to conceive of an alternative understanding of ideology. The purpose is to attempt to overturn the amnesia condition that persists in Australia with regards to culture.
