Who belongs? Reading identity, ownership, and legitimacy

Tim Sherratt

Research output: Contribution to conference (non-published works)Paper

Abstract

In this talk I want to look at some changes in the language of belonging in Australia, focusing on two words, ‘aliens’ and ‘immigrants’.

I’m not going to present a detailed argument, nor am I going to offer a very sophisticated analysis. I’m mostly just counting words and pointing to interesting things. But I suppose even simple techniques can be pretty remarkable when they’re applied across large historical collections.
