{"product_id":"16688-stephen-muecke","title":"Stephen Muecke","description":"In his notebook, Stephen Muecke describes the works of Aboriginal artist Butcher Joe from Goolarabooloo, who illustrated the core ideas of his culture in his drawings, which are reproduced here. The works depict places where the dead visit the living, events at the threshold between waking and sleeping: legends of the Dreamtime that explain how everything came into being and establish the rules by which Aboriginal people live. Dancing, hunting, or working people, spirits, animals, and skeletons are shown – individual scenes from history, partly translations of visual and acoustic memories, in which spirits can turn into people and people into animals. As portraits of indigenous Australian aesthetics, the drawings and the descriptive text in this notebook provide the reader with a personal insight into the mythical world of the Australian Aborigines, where everything, be it animals, people, or plants, is to be considered in its transformational potential.\u003cbr\u003eButcher Joe Nangan (1902–1989) was an artist from Broome, Western Australia.\u003cbr\u003eStephen Muecke (born 1951) is an author living in Sydney.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2903-1)","offer_id":44503952982280,"sku":"9783775729031","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4960-2)","offer_id":44573666115848,"sku":"9783775749602","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3083-9)","offer_id":44573666148616,"sku":"9783775730839","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729031_099f5e07-4875-4f1b-9895-8b45dc628e2a.jpg?v=1744137857","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16688-stephen-muecke","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
