Literature, Identity & CultureCoordinator: Associate Professor Anne Collett LIC research is focussed on the relationship between literature, culture and identity formation and transformation. Literature is understood as a multiplicity of writing cultures that are studied in relation to material, aesthetic and performative cultures. Our research is primarily concerned with literature written in English(es), but includes a number of projects that are multi-lingual and cross-cultural. Members are also working in interdisciplinary areas that explore relationships between literature and architecture, painting, music, food, textiles and gardens. Current research falls into three focus areas: Australian Literature, Life Writing and Postcolonial/Transcultural/Diasporic Literatures. Comparative and interdisciplinary scholarship is encouraged.
