Funded Activity Summary

Voyages of Myth: Captain Cook in the Popular Australian Imagination. The approaches and writings that will be produced from this project can be taken up by national institutions such as museums and libraries and used as a vehicle to promote a different kind of national debate beyond fact or fiction or even right and wrong. Our outcomes should influence the collection design of national archives and suggest original and incisive frameworks for staging national displays of identity and the past. Providing a contemporary account of how Cook was and is currently understood qualitatively by a cross section of Australians will provide a powerful set of national connections between an iconic historical figure and the everyday world.
