Abstract

This essay describes how the antipodal turn has impacted upon World Literature in both its geographic and figurative dimensions. It examines the history of the term antipodean in relation to a rhetoric of transposition and also considers it in the context of ecological and Indigenous criticism, as well as the new prominence of the Global South. The essay addresses the specific relevance of Australian culture to this formation, and it concludes by suggesting ways in which this antipodal turn might constitute a productive critical method.
