Revisiting Australia's war: international perspectives on heritage, memory and ANZAC pilgrimages to the cemeteries, sites and battlefields of World War Two (WW2)

在澳大利亚和新西兰，战争已经成为一种象征；对许多人来说，澳新军团的精神定义了两国的价值观。一项关于二战朝圣的研究将探索澳新军团传奇是如何被几代人重新审视、重新创造和振兴的。这个项目将从那些遭受战争的人那里找回战争的记忆，赋予塔斯曼海峡两岸的哀悼者力量，并帮助解释为什么澳新军团的神话吸引了如此不同的社会阶层。它将探讨澳大拉西亚与世界，特别是亚洲/太平洋地区的关系的一个被忽视的方面。

War has assumed an iconographic status in Australia and New Zealand; for many the spirit of Anzac defines the values of both nations. A study of WW2 pilgrimage will explore ways the Anzac legend has been revisited, reinvented and revitalised by successive generations. This project will retrieve the memory of war from those who suffered it, empower communities of mourners on both sides of the Tasman and help to explain why the Anzac mythology captivates such a diverse cross-section of society. It will explore a neglected dimension of Australasia's relationship with the world and the Asia/Pacific region in particular.
