Modernism's East Asia: Semi-Asiatic Literature and Global Modernity

该项目旨在利用人文学科的两个重要主题：文化混合国家对全球现代性的全球意义，以及东亚研究对世界文学的意义。它通过检查主要用英语、法语和日语写的文本，比较了西方和东亚对法语和俄语文学的接受程度。其预期结果是重新评估东亚在全球现代主义和艺术与社会现代性概念化中的作用。其创新的方法论结合了东亚研究、英法文学、哲学和思想史。它的目的是巩固澳大利亚在人文学科中的地位，并增进对自身多样化历史的了解。

This project aims to harness two important topics in the humanities: the global significance of culturally hybrid nations for global modernity, and the significance of East Asian Studies for World Literature. It compares the reception of French and Russian literatures in the West and East Asia by examining texts written mainly in English, French, and Japanese. Its expected outcome is a reevaluation of East Asia's role in the conceptualization of global modernism and modernity in the arts and society. Its innovative methodology combines East Asian Studies, English and French Literature, philosophy, and the history of ideas. It intends to fortify Australia's position in the humanities and increase its understanding of its own diverse history.
