Close Relations: Irishness in Australian Literature

该项目旨在通过结合现有和数字方法来研究爱尔兰语在其生产、流通和接受中的复杂作用，从而改变对澳大利亚文学的理解。它期望在澳大利亚，爱尔兰和计算文学研究中产生新的知识，并推进关系文学研究的关键和方法框架。预期的结果包括加强对澳大利亚移民历史和身份形成的了解，以及将人类和计算机主导的方法整合到文学探究中的新方法。该项目的实质性好处应该包括增进对澳大利亚文化历史的了解，促进公众对澳大利亚文学的参与。

The project aims to transform understanding of Australian literature by combining existing and digital methods to investigate the complex role of Irishness in its production, circulation and reception. It expects to generate new knowledge in Australian, Irish and computational literary studies and to advance a critical and methodological framework of relational literary studies. Expected outcomes include enhanced knowledge of the history of migration and identity formation in Australia, and a new way of integrating human- and computer-led approaches to literary inquiry. The project’s substantial benefits should include advancing understanding of Australia’s cultural history and promoting public engagement with Australian literature.
