Fathoming the Orient: Australian Narratives
In the century from the 1880s to the 1980s there were numerous accounts of what ‘the rise of Asia’ would mean for Australia. While it can be reasonably argued that Australia underwent considerable change across this period there were also continuities in the way ‘Asia’ was represented, understood and explained. The lecture will discuss some of the repeated stories or narratives that governed the Australian discussion of Asia across this period. High on the list were the ‘warning’ and the ‘opportunity’ narratives and in each case Asia was understood to be moving towards an Asian future. There were often sharply polarised understandings of what this journey from a British/European past to an Asian future might mean, but the journey to Asia was often figured as a transformative encounter. Among those transformations was the shift from Australia as a remote outpost of the British Empire to a nation at the heart of the struggle for power between East and West. However Asia was understood, each of these competing narratives had implications for how Australians should respond to their changing circumstances thereby turning the response to Asia into a test of nationhood. Herein lies another story about the informed/visionary few who knew Asia and the ignorant many who did not.
About the Speaker
David Walker took up his current position as the inaugural BHP Billiton Chair of Australian Studies at Peking University in February 2013. He has written extensively on Australian representations of Asia. His prize-winning book, Anxious Nation: Australia and the Rise of Asia, 1850 to 1939 (UQP, 1999) has been translated into Chinese and published by China Renmin University Press (2009). An English edition was published in India in the same year and a Hindi translation will be published in 2015. He is the co-editor with Agnieszka Sobocinska of Australia’s Asia: From Yellow Peril to Asian Century (UWA Publishing, 2012). A collection of his Asia-related essays has been published under the title EncounteringTurbulence: Asia in the Australian Imaginary (Readworthy, 2013). His recently published personal history, Not Dark Yet (Giramondo, 2011) has been translated into Chinese by Professor Li Yao, with the Chinese title《光明行：家族的历史》and published by The People’s Literature Publishing House, Beijing (2014). His most recent publication, co-edited with Chengxin Pan, is Australia and China: Challenges and Ideas in Cross-cultural Engagement (Chinese Academy of the Social Sciences Press, 2015). David Walker is Alfred Deakin Professor at Deakin University in Melbourne and a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
The George Ernest Morrison Lecture series was founded by Chinese residents in Australia and others in honour of the late Dr G. E. Morrison (1862-1920), a native of Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
The objects of the foundation of the lectureship were to honour for all time the memory of a great Australian who rendered valuable services to China and to improve cultural relations between China and Australia. The annual Morrison Lecture is organised by a committee of ANU colleagues from the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific.
The George E Morrison Lecture Series is sponsored by the China Institute and the Australian Centre on China in the World.

Australien # 61 / Stuart Highway - Central Australia / Weltreise Vlog Tag 264 - 281
[enthält unbezahlte Werbung)
Stuart Highway - die Straße, die in Australien von ganz oben nach ganz unten führt, vom Northern Territory nach South Australia.
Nach der Gibb River Road kam alles anders als geplant. Wir haben den Norden des Northern Territorys wegen eines kleinen Kulturschocks im Litchfield National Park sozusagen ausfallen lassen und sind stattdessen früher Richtung Zentrum aufgebrochen.
Bis zu unserem Ziel war es eine ganz schön lange Strecke, aber dafür führt der Stuart Highway an der ein oder anderen Sehenswürdigkeit vorbei. Zum Beispiel haben wir mit Taucherbrille und Schnorchel im Gepäck die warmen Bitter Springs besucht, sind durch die Devils Marbles gewandert und waren in der Wüstenstadt Alice Springs im Museum des Royal Flying Doctor Service...
Die Fahrt auf dem berühmten Stuart Highway hatte also einiges zu bieten und wir waren nach der Gibb River Road sehr froh über eine lange, asphaltierte Strasse...
Für die, die uns noch nicht kennen: Wir sind Franzi und Annika und erfüllen uns gerade unseren langersehnten, gemeinsamen Traum einer open-end-Weltreise! Erste Station: AUSTRALIEN!
Unterwegs seit dem 02.10.2017 - Kommt mit uns auf die Reise! ????????????
