Recent\nevents in Australia remind us that Australia is still caught in discourses on\n\u201cnation\u201d, \u201cbelonging\u201d and \u201cidentity\u201d in an environment that fails to produce\nnew alternatives in this so-called \u201cpostcolonial\u201d, \u201cmulticultural\u201d\ncountry. By proposing Alter\/Native Spaces<\/em>\nthe 2019 EASA conference intends to go beyond the postcolonial to examine how\nthe prefix \u201calter\u201d is thus linked both to the notion of an alternative and to\nthe notion of multiplicity, and how Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledges\nmay interact and form new spaces to reframe the relationship between the settler nation\nand the Indigenous peoples by instating their presence in place of their\nabsence. The conference also seeks to examine the ways in which\nthe interaction of Indigenous and non-indigenous geographies may construct\nalter\/native spaces, imaginaries or models of inhabitance that can provide new\nmodes of rethinking difference and belonging. Among the new spaces, global\nspaces of Indigeneity can be scrutinized as a new decentered vision \u2014 an\nalter\/native movement of identities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nconference will examine identity fragmentation, intersectional identities, floating movements in\nthe creation of identities, between coercion and resistance\/ reaffirmation, as\nwell as shifting concepts and definitions, between the imposed and the chosen. The\nblurriness of\nrepresentation from the perceived to the represented can also be studied with\nan exploration of the interpretation, the use and aim of images. Virtual\nidentities can be investigated as well. The 2019\nEASA \u201cAlter\/Native Spaces\u201d conference will thus focus on the flexibility of\nboundaries, on \u201cin-betweenness\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference aims to explore the following\nquestions: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
