Funded Activity Summary

An interdisciplinary investigation of literary tourism and literary subjectivity. Literary tourism is an under-exploited cultural resource in Australia, despite well-organised tourism industries, an established literary canon, identifiable literary landscapes and locales, and strong links between literature and popular culture. Australia has much to learn from British literary tourism, with its established systems and advanced image marketing; and from a deeper understanding of reader-tourist motivations and behaviours. This research lays the methodological foundations for essential and genuinely interdisciplinary research into Australian literary tourism, and establishes a partnership that promises to deliver palpable national benefits in this and future projects, advancing understanding of our region and the world.
