A study of travel writing in Australian colonial history

旅行写作是读者了解其他民族和文化的关键机制，这一体裁对身份、意识形态和思想的形成至关重要。澳大利亚的游记写作为那些移民到殖民地的人提供了基础性的文本。该项目将澳大利亚文本定位在国际比较范围内。它将促进对澳大利亚殖民文化的理解，以及对殖民澳大利亚人的看法和价值观的理解。它将向澳大利亚和国际学生和研究人员提供丰富的文本档案，这些文本以前没有绘制过地图。澳大利亚人对旅行和旅行文学非常感兴趣，这个项目让殖民旅行文本引起了公众的注意。

Travel writing is a key mechanism by which readers learn about other peoples and cultures, a genre that is crucial to the formation of identities, ideologies, and ideas. Australian travel writing provided foundational texts for those emigrating to the colony. This project positions Australian texts within an international comparative sphere. It will advance the understanding of colonial culture in Australia, and of the perceptions and values of those who settled colonial Australia. It will make available to Australian and international students and researchers a rich archive of texts that have not been previously mapped. Australians are keenly interested in travel and its literature, and this project brings colonial travel texts to public attention.
