Psychoanalysis, Anthropology and the Australian Aborigine: the revaluing of myth in the twentieth-century

该项目将揭示西方对澳大利亚原住民文化的体验在20世纪重新评估神话中所起的作用，特别是通过精神分析的影响。它将表明，欧洲对澳大利亚原住民的经验提出了问题，对这些问题的尝试回答改变了欧洲的想法。披露这一点将大大增加澳大利亚的自我了解。这将大大加深人们对神话在上个世纪获得的重要性的理解。这将是澳大利亚对人类学、科学史和精神分析史的国际学术以及宗教和土著研究的重要贡献

This project will uncover the role Western experience of Aboriginal Australian cultures has played in the revaluing of myths in the twentieth century particularly via the influence of psychoanalysis. It will show that European experience of Aboriginal Australia raised questions, and the attempted answers to those questions changed European thinking. Revealing this will add significantly to Australia's self understanding. It will add significantly to the understanding of the importance myth has gained over the last century. It will be an important Australian contribution to international scholarship of the histories of Anthropology, Science, and Psychoanalysis, and to Religious and Indigenous Studies
