Abstract
Nineteenth-century outlaw Ned Kelly is perhaps Australia’s most famous
historical figure. This book explains the processes by which the cultural
memory of Kelly has developed over time, and how it has related to negotiations
of group identity. It breaks new ground in memory studies by showing
how memories are formed and develop through tangles of relations – memory
dispositifs – and by furthering understanding of the relationships between
cultural memory and national identity, at a time when matters of identity
are more urgent than ever.
