The Darwinian Screen: Race in Pacific and Australian Film 1900-1970

本项目考察达尔文主义对1900-1970年发生在澳大利亚和太平洋地区的种族题材电影叙事的影响。将考虑在澳大利亚，新西兰，美国，英国和法国制作的科幻，旅行，南海岛屿浪漫，殖民冒险和丛林电影，以确定种族的设计和建造。对原始人的寻找，“类型”的构建，为白人主体创造乌托邦空间，进化和权力下放的表现，将太平洋作为科学努力的场所以及生存叙事的产生都是需要考虑的领域。

This project examines the influence of Darwinism in filmic narratives which deal with race that are set in Australia and the Pacific from 1900-1970. Science Fiction, Travel, South Seas Island Romance, Colonial Adventure and Jungle films made in Australia, New Zealand, America, the UK and France will be considered in order to determine the design and construction of race. The search for primitive man, the construction of 'types', the creation of utopian spaces for white subjects, the representation of evolution and devolution, the making of the Pacific as site for scientific endeavour and the production of narratives of survival are among the areas to be considered.
