Abstract

This paper investigates “immigrant architecture”Footnote1 in Australia and argues that the reception of the “architecture of the other” is mediated by the visual appearance of this architecture. The paper investigates the politics of multiculturalism and migration in Melbourne, Australia, and more specifically its representation in Melbourne's tourist brochures. We argue that tourist brochures portray the image of the city to both national and international audience, and that the decisions around which architecture to include (and exclude) correspond with that image, and are hierarchical.The inclusion and exclusion of Melbourne’s architecture in selected tourist brochures are central to this paper, juxtaposing the reality and diversity of Melbourne’s architecture, to the selection of architecture which is represented in the brochures. This corresponds with the collision of two different images of Australia as a nation, the first being the image of Australian as hegemonic and related to white, Anglo-Celtic culture, and the second as image of Australian culture as multicultural, diverse and in flux. The paper proposes that mainstream tourist brochures rely on out-dated colonial-settler narratives and selectively represent the contributions of Indigenous and minority ethnic immigrants to Australian society.

视觉的政治:墨尔本旅游手册中的移民建筑
本文调查了澳大利亚的“移民建筑”Footnote1,并认为“他者的建筑”的接受是由这种建筑的视觉外观所介导的。本文调查了澳大利亚墨尔本的多元文化主义和移民政治,更具体地说,它在墨尔本旅游手册中的代表性。我们认为,旅游手册向国内和国际观众描绘了城市的形象,并且围绕哪些建筑包括(或排除)的决定与该形象相对应,并且是分层的。在选定的旅游手册中包含和排除墨尔本的建筑是本文的核心,并并列墨尔本建筑的现实和多样性,以选择在小册子中所代表的建筑。这与澳大利亚作为一个国家的两种不同形象的碰撞相对应,第一种是澳大利亚的霸权形象,与白人、盎格鲁-凯尔特文化有关,第二种是澳大利亚文化的多元文化、多样化和不断变化的形象。本文提出,主流旅游手册依赖于过时的殖民定居者叙事,并有选择地代表土著和少数民族移民对澳大利亚社会的贡献。
