Abstract

In the original language

The chapter analyzes two contemporary collaborative life writing narratives by Australian Indigenous authors - Auntie Rita (1994) by Rita and Jackie Huggins, and Kayang and Me (2005) by Kim Scott and Hazel Brown. It examines the narrative transgression of collaboration, resulting in "dual" narrative voice. The chapter puts the two narratives in the context of the history of Australian Aboriginal life writing, dialogic narratives and ethics of collaboration.

In Czech

Kapitola analyzuje dva narativy-memoáry, které vycházejí ze spolupráce dvou autorů - současných australských původních obyvatel. Jde o texty Auntie Rita (1994) od Rity a Jackie Hugginsových, a Kayang and Me (2005) od Kima Scotta a Hazel Brownové. Kapitola zasazuje oba texty do kontextu dlouhé historie memoárů a historiografie psaných původními obyvateli, a zároveň poukazuje na narativní transgresivitu, která dává zaznít novému etablovanému "dvojímu hlasu". Texty jsou dále analyzované z pohledu dialogicity a etiky spolupráce při tvorbě literárních memoárů.
