This project aims to shed new light on diaspora voices in debates about the formation and narration of nations to argue for a more inclusive view of the nation and to challenge the dominance of canonical literature in these debates. Arab writing is closely tied to its diaspora, making it particularly significant for probing how fiction registers the transformative effects of migration on our grasp of the nation. Spanning four diaspora sites and a century of writing, potential outcomes include a diaspora-focused approach to reassess the nation from a transnational perspective, a new awareness of the value of diaspora writers’ engagement with the nation, and the vital repositioning of Arab-Australian writing in this field of world literature.

这个项目的目的是在关于国家的形成和叙述的辩论中阐明散居国外的声音，争取对国家的更具包容性的观点，并挑战规范文学在这些辩论中的主导地位。阿拉伯作家的写作与他们的散居人口密切相关，这使得它对于探索小说如何记录移民对我们国家的影响具有特别重要的意义。跨越四个散居海外的地点和一个世纪的写作，潜在的结果包括从跨国视角重新评估国家的以散居海外为重点的方法，对散居海外作家与国家接触的价值的新认识，以及阿拉伯裔澳大利亚人写作在这一世界文学领域的重要重新定位。
