Oceania is largely absent from maps of World Literature and its shifting canons. The literatures of Oceania are not widely circulated in the ‘World’, as imagined by literary-humanist idealism or exploited by global markets. This seminar considers this invisibility
in the context of the rising Pacific Ocean that threatens the existence of Oceania’s islands, particularly the island-atolls, into the future.<br>
<br>
The seminar examines literature’s role in the construction of a range of maps that reimagine regional relationality: It follows Pacific historian Donald Denoon to consider the possible utility of reviving regional colonial networks, such as ‘Australasia’. Problematic
as this is, indeed precisely because its evident flaws prohibit idealisation, re-membering these connections may disrupt the insularity of the powerful nations in the region, particularly Australia. It may also uncover literary, aesthetic connections lost
in the cartographies of nation states. <br>
<br>
This colonial map can be also overlaid and described with alternative models of Oceania’s regional relationality, as we find in the spoken-word poetry of Marshallese poet Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner. The seminar examines her poetic performance at the 2014 United Nations
Climate Change Summit through the lens of classical rhetoric, to identify its holographic alternation between presence and invisibility to her 'World' audience. <br>
<br>
<strong>Elizabeth McMahon</strong> is Associate Professor in the School of the Arts and Media at the University of New South Wales. Her research interests are in Australian literature, Island Studies and Gender studies. Her recent monograph, <em>Islands, Identity
and the Literary Imagination</em> (New York and London: Anthem, 2016) is the culmination of research funded by an ARC Discovery grant titled <em>Our Island Home: The Shifting Map of Australian Literature</em>.<br>
