- Abstract
Quote, page 50: "This chapter maps the contested role played by material in the making of the Parkville campus, and in the changing of a landscape that was previously inhabited by the Wurundjerie Woi Wurrung people, and traversed by many other Indigenous peoples, such as the Yorta Torta from north-eastern Victoria, who for centuries made their way across the site to attend ceremonies. What is revealed is a complex story of building materialstravelling across Australian landscapes, having been extracted from stolen lands of Indigenous Australians, and their reassembly as hopeful simulcra of venerable places of learning."
