Songlines are an archive for powerful knowledges that ensured Australia's many Indigenous cultures flourished for over 60,000 years. Much more than a navigational path in the cartographic sense, these vast and robust stores of information are encoded through song, story, dance, art and ceremony, rather than simply recorded in writing.
Weaving deeply personal storytelling with extensive research on mnemonics, Songlines: The Power and Promise offers unique insights into Indigenous traditional knowledges, how they apply today and how they could help all peoples thrive into the future. This book invites readers to understand a remarkable way for storing knowledge in memory by adapting song, art, and most importantly, Country, into their lives.
About the series: Each book is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers and editors; the series is edited by Margo Neale, senior Indigenous curator at the National Museum of Australia.
Forthcoming titles include: Design by Alison Page & Paul Memmott (2021); Country by Bill Gammage & Bruce Pascoe (2021); Medicine & Plants (2022); Astronomy (2022); Law (2023).

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine condition. Songlines: The Power and Promise offers unique insights into Indigenous traditional knowledges, how they apply today and how they could help all peoples thrive into the future. This book invites readers to understand a remarkable way of storing knowledge in memory by integrating song, art, and, most importantly, Country into their lives. Songlines are the means of storing and learning knowledge, ancient and modern. They are stories embodied in the land, sea, and skies, remembered and passed on through song, dance, art, ceremony, and, most importantly, attachment to Country. Like libraries, these vast collections of dynamic information ensured Australia's indigenous peoples flourished for millennia and continue to do so. Margo Neale and Lynne Kelly show us, with compelling storytelling and extensive research, how these integrated knowledges are encoded and transmitted to preserve vibrant, thriving and sustainable cultures. Songlines are an archive of powerful knowledge that has helped Australia's many Indigenous cultures flourish for over 60,000 years. More than a navigational path in the cartographic sense, these vast and robust stores of information are encoded through song, story, dance, art, and ceremony, rather than simply recorded in writing. Weaving deeply personal storytelling with extensive research on mnemonics, Songlines: The Power and Promise offer all Australians a remarkable way to learn, remember, and connect with each other.
