Close Relations: Irishness in Australian Literature

该项目旨在通过将现有方法和数字方法相结合来改变人们对澳大利亚文学的理解，以调查爱尔兰在其生产、发行和接受中所扮演的复杂角色。它期望在澳大利亚、爱尔兰和计算文学研究方面产生新的知识，并推动相关文学研究的批判性和方法论框架。预期的结果包括加强对澳大利亚移民和身份形成历史的了解，以及一种整合人类和计算机领导的文学调查方法的新方法。该项目的实质性好处应该包括增进对澳大利亚文化历史的了解，并促进公众对澳大利亚文学的参与。

The project aims to transform understanding of Australian literature by combining existing and digital methods to investigate the complex role of Irishness in its production, circulation and reception. It expects to generate new knowledge in Australian, Irish and computational literary studies and to advance a critical and methodological framework of relational literary studies. Expected outcomes include enhanced knowledge of the history of migration and identity formation in Australia, and a new way of integrating human- and computer-led approaches to literary inquiry. The project’s substantial benefits should include advancing understanding of Australia’s cultural history and promoting public engagement with Australian literature.
