Paradise Lost - Utopia Reclaimed: Writing the Wrongs of French Exploration in the Antipodes

当法国试图夺取澳大利亚部分地区的主权失败后，成为澳洲天堂的梦想破灭了。在它的突破中，出现了一个新的乌托邦边疆。矛盾的是，这种预见性的视角重现了一种先前在法国-澳大利亚古典著作中确立的乌托邦主义形式。无论是构建一个理想的法国南部，还是批评一个非乌托邦的英国现实，乌托邦主义在法澳(后)殖民话语中的持续作用可以被分析为跨文化相遇的案例研究。这些发现可在英语和法语专著中发表，将为理解澳大利亚与其主要文化影响之一的过去、现在和未来的关系开辟新的方法。

When France's attempts to claim regions of Australia failed, the dream of an Antipodean paradise was lost. In its breach rose a new utopian frontier. Paradoxically, this anticipatory perspective revives a form of utopianism previously established in classical French-Australian writings. Whether framing an ideal France australe or criticising a non-utopian British reality, the ongoing role of utopianism in French-Australian (post)colonial discourse may be analysed as a case study for cross-cultural encounters. The findings, publishable in English and French monographs, will open up new methods for understanding Australia's past, present and future relations with one of its major cultural influences.
