Abstract
This article navigates a counter-historical turn in postfoundational qualitative research. Re-reading the philosophy of history through radical black, Indigenous, and decolonial traditions, the article premises the counter-historical turn on a cosmologica pluralization and deformalization of historical experience. The authors elaborate the contours of the counter-historical turn in relation to recent projects with young people on unceded Indigenous lands in the Australian cities of Naarm (Melbourne) and Djilang (Geelong). Focusing on the affective power of the image in shattering the representational logic and sense of imperial history, the article offers practices of fragmentary encounter, rupture, and re-assembly in working toward the responsible production of counter-histories on sovereign Indigenous lands.
