Abstract

What a woman does in writing, in telling, is to search, sifting through the many versions and possibilities to find the shape and truth of her life, the story she doesn’t yet know, the image and narrative she struggles to bring, like herself, into being. (Modjeska, 1994, p.31) Reflecting on my life journey, I realize that my life is like a river, no holding back. Like the river flowing from one place to another, my life constantly changed and was always on the move. In due course, the river itself changed, so did my life. Many years ago, on the eve of my journey to study in Canada, I was so sure of my dreams for the future and myself. Unexpectedly, my life took a different turn and I have never stopped changing. The decisions I made years ago, eventually led to multiple transformations of my social understanding, educational philosophy, teaching practice, and character. I have come to reconcile with my past and recognized "A Time for Everything," as well as having gained the strength to move on for whatever the end may be.

7. Geography and the Production of Space in Nineteenth- Century American Literature/Transpacific Imaginations: History, Literature, Counterpoetics/Chang and Eng Reconnected: The Original Siamese Twins in American Culture.

Author

Bullen, Ross

Subjects
*NONFICTION
Abstract

In this review, I look at recent texts by Yunte Huang, Hsuan Hsu, and Cynthia Wu on the transpacific literature and culture of the United States, noting how each of their books make significant and original contributions to this emerging critical field. All three books draw on transpacific methodologies (among other discourses) to generate fascinating new readings of well-known US literary and cultural texts, including--in all three critical studies--Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. Although each of these books embraces its own method and scope, reading all three together provides a compelling snapshot of the development of transpacific American studies over the past half-decade, and suggests some of the new areas in which these methodologies are making critical headway.
