岌岌可危的边界：民族国家与阿拉伯流散小说。该项目旨在揭示关于国家形成和叙述的辩论中侨民的声音，以争取更包容的国家观点，并挑战这些辩论中权威文学的主导地位。阿拉伯人的写作与他们的流散有着密切的联系，这使得探究小说如何记录了移民对我们对这个国家的理解所产生的变革性影响变得尤为重要。跨越四个散居地和一个世纪的写作，潜在的结果包括以散居地为中心的方法，从跨国角度重新评估国家，对散居地作家与国家接触的价值的新认识，以及阿拉伯-澳大利亚写作在世界文学这一领域的重要重新定位。

Precarious Borders: The Nation-State and the Arab Diaspora Novel. 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.
