The Humanities beyond Humanism: Race, Nature and the Human in Australia from Enlightenment to Federation

该项目为种族主义的情感和循环逻辑注入了非常需要的特异性，这些逻辑是澳大利亚定居者/土著历史的特征。到目前为止，澳大利亚的土著人蔑视启蒙/殖民时期关于人类与自然分离的观点，他们动摇了西方人文主义的基础。在赞扬土著人民对欧洲知识和自尊的影响的同时，该项目从一个新的角度对澳大利亚的殖民进行了批判。它挑战了澳大利亚人将土著居民写进大自然的一贯倾向，并迫使人们对“真正的人类”的含义进行了新的思考。

This Project injects much needed specificity into the emotive and circular logic of racism that characterises accounts of settler/indigenous history in Australia. In so far as Australia's Aboriginal people defied enlightenment/colonial ideas about humans as separate from nature, they shook the very foundations of western humanism. In crediting Aboriginal people with this impact on European knowledge and self-regard, the Project carries forward the critique of Australia's settlement from a fresh perspective. It challenges the persistent tendency of Australians to write Aborigines into nature, and forces a novel revision in thought about what it means to be 'properly human'.
