Funded Activity Summary

Peripheral Horizons: Reinterpreting Orientalist visual culture through a comparative study of women's Orientalism in Australia, the USA and Europe, 1855-1914. My project will make a crucial contribution to understanding Australia's place in the world through a comparative study of artistic responses to the Middle East in Australia, the USA, Britain and continental Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Now more than ever is there an urgent need for an understanding of this historical context for Australia's cultural perceptions of the Middle East. This project, which is the first comparative art historical study of its kind, will also make a vital contribution to our understanding of the similarities and differences between Australia's approach to this region and that of her western allies.
