The culture of war: private life and sentiment in Australia 1914-18

这项研究有可能将澳大利亚置于全面战争中民事代理的新理论方法的前沿，并提高澳大利亚在国际学者主导的领域中重要学术的声誉。此外，虽然战争一直是澳大利亚人身份观念的核心，但我们对“战争”的感觉与前线密切相关，而不是与后方有关。这项研究将有助于将学术界和公众的注意力重新定位到1914- 1918年澳大利亚经历中大后方的重要性上。在澳大利亚人对与战争的家庭联系越来越感兴趣的时候，这个项目将让人们更好地了解战争对澳大利亚国家和个人的影响。

This study has the potential to place Australia at the forefront of a new theoretical approach to civilian agency in total war, and enhance the national reputation for important scholarship in a field dominated by international scholars. Also, while war has been central to Australian notions of identity, our sense of 'war' is intimately connected to the front-line, and not to the homefront. This study will help reorient academic and popular attention back to the importance of the homefront in Australia's experience of 1914-18. At a time when Australians are increasingly interested in family links with the war, this project will provide a greater appreciation of the war's effects on Australia nationally and on the most personal levels.
