Funded Activity Summary

Globalising Australian literature: Asian-Australian writing, Asian perspectives on Australian literature. Through the arts, and in particular through its literature, a nation defines its identity and aspirations. Literature is also a force for cultural diplomacy, leading to enhanced understanding and cooperation between nations and cultures. This study of literary interactions between Australia and Asia produces detailed knowledge of how cross-cultural influences shape the production, circulation and reception of literary texts, and develops strategies for using this knowledge for national benefit: greater understanding of the forces shaping the nation's self-image and perceptions of Australia in the Asian region, models for cultural diplomacy enhancing Australia's reputation as a sophisticated and culturally diverse nation.
