TY - BOOK TI - Songlines: the power and promise AU - Neale, Margo AU - Kelly, Lynne T2 - First knowledges. AB - Songlines are an archive for powerful knowledges that ensured Australia's many Indigenous cultures flourished for over 60,000 years. Much more than a navigational path in the cartographic sense, these vast and robust stores of information are encoded through song, story, dance, art and ceremony, rather than simply recorded in writing. Weaving deeply personal storytelling with extensive research on mnemonics, Songlines: The Power and Promise offers unique insights into Indigenous traditional knowledges, how they apply today and how they could help all peoples thrive into the future. This book invites readers to understand a remarkable way for storing knowledge in memory by adapting song, art, and most importantly, Country, into their lives CY - Port Melbourne, Victoria DA - 2020/// PY - 2020 DP - https://cat2.lib.unimelb.edu.au:443/record=b7618001~S30 LA - eng PB - Thames & Hudson Australia SN - 9781760761189 ST - First knowledges. 1, Songlines ER -
