Résumé
The aim of this article is to show how Aboriginal poets explore and picture the difficulties of being othered when being othered actually means being erased, dismissed, merchandised. It investigates how this lack of identification – in arts, in law, in language, in science or interpersonal relationships – is resisted, redefined as a process of othering, and thus can be countered by first acknowledging this relationship – between a stranger and an other – without which the process of othering cannot occur, and then by highlighting that we continually need to redefine ourselves in our relationship to others, and need redefinition to include others. Through a poetics and politics of relation and resistance, poets such as Lisa Bellear, Lionel Fogarty and Samuel Wagan Watson open new fields and ways of expression, bringing to the fore, through their art, the ethical values of their imaginaries.
