Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Buffalo, 1999.

This dissertation examines the altering figures of stranger/foreigner in the culturally and racially mixed literary space in the twentieth century with a composite critical approach. This project, cutting across issues such as race, gender, language and historicity, traces and analyzes the itineraries of displaced cultural and national identities on the divided shores of the Pacific.

520 $a This dissertation examines the altering figures of stranger/foreigner in the culturally and racially mixed literary space in the twentieth century with a composite critical approach. This project, cutting across issues such as race, gender, language and historicity, traces and analyzes the itineraries of displaced cultural and national identities on the divided shores of the Pacific.
520 $a The first part of the study focuses on the discursive configuration of the Eastern colonial space inhabited by Europeans and their symptomatic existence in the milieu of hybrid/proliferated power relations. In the discussion of Joseph Conrad's <italic>Almayer</italic>'<italic>s Folly</italic> and “Amy Foster,” the figures of the European “settler” and “exile” are examined respectively. Both figures expose the depth of the break in the racial and cultural integrity of the European race through their isolation and exclusion from the power of domination as well as their confrontation with the heterodox traditions of the indigenous people.
520 $a The second part of the study concentrates mainly on narratives by Asian writers that are published in the Western world. The manifold voice of Han Suyin, the author-protagonist of <italic>A Many Splendoured Thing</italic>, introduces the volatile taxonomy of the “transient” in the hybrid British colony of Hong Kong. The unremitting passage—or desire for passage—from one border to another reveals the permanently resilient state of becoming and substitution. The figure of the transient is therefore only a reference to what has been lost: home, nation and identity. Yet there are also ones that made it to the end of the passage and arrived their ultimate destination. Through the reading of Sui Sin Far's <italic>Mrs. Spring Fragrance</italic>, I investigate the migrant experience of Asian Americans which evokes the figure of the “sojourner”—one that has the tendency to cling on to his/her home culture while living in a foreign country. I perceive the attempt of mending the rift and retrieving repressed history in Sui Sin Far's works demonstrates the function of disruption in their search for generations of lost memories and reinstating the culture of the sojourner. This disruption opens the door to an array of multifarious visions and reflections on relations between races, genders and classes that goes beyond the mere rewriting of a monologic transnational history. I conclude by examining the different figures introduced by these texts in showing their linkage established through the unconscious slippage in the articulation of their roles.
