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.

当法国试图要求澳大利亚地区失败时，澳大利亚天堂的梦想破灭了。在它的缺口处出现了一个新的乌托邦边疆。讽刺的是，这种预见性的观点恢复了以前在古典法澳著作中建立的乌托邦形式。无论是制定一个理想的法国australe或批评非乌托邦的英国现实，乌托邦在法国，澳大利亚（后）殖民话语的持续作用，可以分析作为跨文化的遭遇的案例研究。这些发现将以英语和法语专著形式出版，将为理解澳大利亚的过去、现在和未来与其主要文化影响之一的关系开辟新的方法。
