Well, The similarities of Australia and Southeast Asia. As David Damrosch said,  More than a century after Posnett, expresses similar flexibility:

I take world literature to encompass all literary works that circulate beyond their culture of origin either in translation or in their original language . . . a work only has an effective life as world literature whenever, and wherever, it is actively present within a literary system beyond that of its original culture (4, 281).

In theory, Posnett’s and Damrosch’s responses to the question “What is World Literature?” include not only texts that circulate among European and North American nations or between these and other cultures but also those inaccessible to readers unfamiliar with non-Western languages.

Yet in practice, literary networks within and among non-Western regions, especially contacts of the last few centuries, receive much less notice than those where Europe and North America figure prominently, most frequently as a source (e.g., Chinese engaging with European aesthetics), but also as a destination (e.g., Europeans engaging with Chinese aesthetics).  As Kan Wang has observed, “[Because] the hierarchy privileging Western language literature has become increasingly solidified . . . [Chinese and other non-Western writers] cannot enter into the ranks of ‘universal writers’ without recognition from the West” (571).  Similarly, to quote Stephen Owen, “For a young Korean poet to be translated into Tagalog and acclaimed in Manila is, no doubt, a matter of satisfaction; but it has less cachet than to be translated into English or French and invited to New York or Paris.  It is unfair but it is a fact” (533).  Likewise, although an Asian-language text that has been translated into other Asian languages but not into any Western languages would generally not be spoken of as world literature, a European-language text that has circulated widely in Europe but not been translated into a non-European language would even today likely be regarded as world literature. As Owen asserts, these are facts.  Yet we must be careful to use them to expose rather than to perpetuate inequities.

For most of its history the field of comparative literature as practiced in much of the world has focused largely on certain privileged European literatures.  In recent years, there has been a blossoming of interest in Western-language writings not only from previously marginalized European literatures but also from former European colonies in Africa, the Americas, the Middle East, Oceania, and South and Southeast Asia.  Yet even today, scholars working on non-Western-language literatures – the creative texts of billions of people with thousands of years of literary heritage – remain a disproportionate minority in most comparative literature departments.[1]  Most notably, although Asian peoples make up more than half of the world’s population, departments of comparative literature generally have no more than one or two members with expertise in East or South Asian languages; very few departments include anyone with even a basic understanding of a Central or Southeast Asian language, despite the fact that Central and Southeast Asia together have nearly the population of Europe.[2]

Moreover, intra-European comparative scholarship, indeed even intra-Western European comparative scholarship, is rarely if ever thought of as “area studies.” In contrast, despite the fact that East and South Asia both have twice the population of Europe and longer and more diverse cultural histories, intra-East Asian and intra-South Asian, even intra-Asian scholarship is frequently dismissed as “area studies.” The same holds true for scholarship on Central and Southeast Asian literatures, notwithstanding the plethora of languages involved.  In addition, when they have been studied in a comparative context, non-Western-language literatures, as well as Western-language literatures from outside Western power centers, have mainly been examined in terms of their connections with literatures from Western power centers, either as inspirations/appropriations or as exhibiting similarities/differences.  And often, Europe remains the standard for comparison. But Europe is as much an “area” as are other sections of the Eurasian landmass; it makes as much sense to call Europe a separate continent as it would to call the Indian peninsula one continent with the remainder of Eurasia – from Korea to Portugal.

Despite the relatively close geographical locations, there is a concrete difference between Australian literature and Southeast Asian literature. Perhaps more so than in other countries, the literature of Australia characteristically expresses collective values. Although Australian literature deals with the experiences of an individual, those experiences are very likely to be estimated in terms of the ordinary, the typical, the representative. It aspires on the whole to represent integration rather than disintegration. On the other hand, in Southeast Asia, literature is not bound by books. Early on, oral traditions, riddles, puns, proverbs, legends, and stories of cosmologies were etched into the minds of listeners. Only later were tales set in the form of stone inscriptions and bas-reliefs. The development of literature in Southeast Asia involves elements of this crossroads of influence. Indian and Chinese influence brought with it major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Southeast Asia and Australia are close to each other, so it is possible that their literatures can be identical, or maybe not.

Although Southeast Asia and Australia are close to each other, I can say that their literatures are different. Due to Australia's unique location in the map and the complexities of living an urban life, themes of aboriginality, the settler identity, being exiled on the big island, migrant experience, and place and nature were widely spread during the 20th century. Also their themes were affected by its rich culture and the European settlement. On the other side, Southeast Asian literature focuses mostly in their culture and tradition. Their themes were politics and social structure, nationalism, duty and honor, family and filial piety, morality and etiquette, spirituality and philosophy, beauty of nature, traditional culture and it's values. Its themes are said to be anchored in religions, philosophies, and belief systems which are most likely brought colonizing countries. The only thing I can see that are similar of the two is their transfer of literature at the beginning, both were transferred to the word of mouth, not until both had a way to write.

Our literatures might be different in several ways, but all of it came from the traditions and elders of the past, which tells different morals, that help us become a better human as we are.
