dc.description.abstract | Holing captures the inner logic in play in new policies of detention, deterrence, push-back and excision deployed by the Australian Government against asylum seekers arriving on Australian shores by boat. Beyond a pragmatic attempt to limit the economic costs of settlement and rhetorical attempts to garner populist nationalist support, such strategies reveal a will to hole. J.M. Coetzee’s most recent Australian novel, The Childhood of Jesus, provides a powerful allegory for thinking about holing in Australia. The Childhood of Jesus is not “about” Australia’s infamous refugee policy, nor is it simply a novel about Australia; there is no simple key to this allegory. But as a syncretic, polysemous and extended metaphor, the novel creates a cosmos of being in absentia, a place riddled with holes in which we find, amongst other lost possibilities of being, the maritime refugees of today, stateless, faceless, and “washed clean” of their past. | - |
