Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2008.

This dissertation analyzes the ways in which the work of Asian American artists crystallizes a new understanding of Asian Americans in the post-1965 period by disrupting the notion of ethnicity as natural and locating it instead within the shifting optic of global capital and new media technologies. Compared to the previous period, the post-1965 period has observed different forms of state within the United States---for example, the national culture and global cities---that are competing with and complementary to each other. In this context, I explore how Asian American artists enact self in the process of encountering Asian Diasporas and figures of Asia. I argue that the figure of Asia does not always signify in the way conventional institutions of meaning intend. What is particular about contemporary circulation of Asianness is that the figure projected by the nationalist language has come back as the agent of that figure, animated as permeating the American landscape. Analyzing the relation between Asian Americans and Asianness, I attend to the fictive feature of ethnicity in the visual realm.

520 $a This project first discusses two artistic productions that respond to representations of the L.A. riots in the mainstream media---the documentary video Sa-I-Gu and Helen Lee's films My Niagara and Prey. These films extend Asian American/Canadians' sense of being looked at to the transnational context. The following chapter argues that Nikki Lee's work exhibits the Asian face as a metaphor of globalization that does not completely translate into U.S. national culture and makes visible the invisible power relations in metropolitan spaces. Next, one place in which Asian Americans cannot see themselves, similar to the imaginary Asia, is explored in Theresa Cha's film White Dust from Mongolia . Then, the dissertation reads the trope of the returning body staged in Margaret Cho's stand-up comedy I'm the One That I Want as both the Asian American body embodying the legacy of Asian American activism and the Asian body entering U.S. cities. Finally, the study examines the collaborative web art Historic Waikiki and explores a possibility of similitude at a time when imagination works as a social fact.
