In Australia con la Grande Madre: Oodgeroo Noonuccal e la poesia dell’anima
Keywords:
civiltà dei bianchi, tradizione aborigena, sacralitàAbstract
Le poesie di Oodgeroo analizzate in questa sede, We are going, Understand Old One e Municipal Gum, nella loro apparente semplicità, evocano il rapporto con la ‘civiltà’ dei bianchi che ha creato una discontinuità rispetto alla ‘tradizione’ e una separazione dal profondo mistero della Natura, vissuta dagli aborigeni come entità sacra primordiale.
In Australia with the Great Mother: Oodgeroo Noonuccal and the poetry of the soul
In their apparent simplicity, the poems We are going, Understand Old One and Municipal Gum, by Oodgeroo Noonuccal focus on the relationship with the white ‘civilization’ that has created a discontinuity with ‘tradition’ and a separation from the profound mystery of Nature, which Aborigines consider a sacred primordial entity.
