Psychoanalysis, Anthropology and the Australian Aborigine: the revaluing of myth in the twentieth-century

这个项目将揭示澳大利亚土著文化的西方经验在重新评估二十世纪神话中所起的作用，特别是通过精神分析的影响。它将表明，欧洲人对澳大利亚原住民的经验提出了一些问题，而对这些问题的回答改变了欧洲人的想法。 揭示这一点将大大增加澳大利亚的自我认识。 它将大大增加对神话在上个世纪所获得的重要性的理解。 这将是澳大利亚对人类学、科学和精神分析史以及宗教和土著研究的国际学术的重要贡献

This project will uncover the role Western experience of Aboriginal Australian cultures has played in the revaluing of myths in the twentieth century particularly via the influence of psychoanalysis. It will show that European experience of Aboriginal Australia raised questions, and the attempted answers to those questions changed European thinking. Revealing this will add significantly to Australia's self understanding. It will add significantly to the understanding of the importance myth has gained over the last century. It will be an important Australian contribution to international scholarship of the histories of Anthropology, Science, and Psychoanalysis, and to Religious and Indigenous Studies
