Frank Hurley: The Making of a Modern Cultural Icon

我建议第一次写一本关于弗兰克·赫尔利(1885-1962)的书，从新的人文学科的角度综合讨论他的摄影、电影和写作，并就他的职业生涯在国际背景下对现代澳大利亚文化的意义做出原创性的论证。这本书将成为跨学科研究的新理论和新实践的例证。第二个目标是出版一版《赫尔利的日记》。墨尔本大学出版社已正式表示对这两本书感兴趣。这些日记的文本也将由米切尔图书馆和澳大利亚国家图书馆在互联网上提供。

I propose to write a book about Frank Hurley (1885-1962) dealing comprehensively for the first time with his photography, cinematography and writing from the perspective of the new humanities disciplines, and to make an original argument about the significance of his career for modern Australian culture in its international contexts. The book will exemplify a new theory and practice of interdisciplinary research. A second objective is to publish an edition of Hurley's diaries. Melbourne University Press have formally expressed interest in both books. The text of the diaries will also be made available on the internet by the Mitchell Library and National Library of Australia.
