The Reception of Aboriginal Art in the Twentieth Century

调查将分析： *二十世纪对土著艺术的接受，并将显示国家对这一接受的投资程度； *人类学和艺术学科(包括艺术历史学家、艺术家或策展人)在接受土著艺术以及对其他因素(例如土著激进主义和政治进程)保持警惕时，存在微妙且往往相互矛盾的关系； *认同和民族意识话语在接受土著艺术方面的历史重要性； *根据土著艺术接受的变化，重新思考澳大利亚艺术已接受的历史的可能性。

The investigation will analyse: * the reception of Aboriginal art during the twentieth century, and will demonstrate the extent of national investment in this reception; * the subtle and often ambivalent relationship between the disciplines of anthropology and art (including art historians, artists or curators) in the reception of Aboriginal art, as well as being alert to other factors (eg Aboriginal activism and political processes); * the historical importance of discourses of identity and nationhood in the reception of Aboriginal art; * the possibilities for re-thinking the received histories of Australian art in light of shifts in the reception of Aboriginal art.
