{"product_id":"transpacific-cartographies","title":"Transpacific Cartographies","description":"\u003ci\u003eTranspacific Cartographies\u003c\/i\u003e examines how contemporary Chinese diasporic narratives address the existential loss of home for immigrant communities at a time of global precarity and amid rising Sino-US tensions. Focusing on cultural productions of the Chinese diaspora from the 1990s to the present -- including novels by the Sinophone writers Yan Geling (\u003ci\u003eThe Criminal Lu Yanshi\u003c\/i\u003e), Shi Yu (\u003ci\u003eNew York Lover\u003c\/i\u003e), Chen Qian (\u003ci\u003eListen to the Caged Bird Sing\u003c\/i\u003e), and Rong Rong (\u003ci\u003eNotes of a Couple\u003c\/i\u003e), as well as by the Anglophone writer Ha Jin (\u003ci\u003eA Free Life\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Map of Betrayal\u003c\/i\u003e), selected TV shows (\u003ci\u003eBeijinger in New York\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Way We Were\u003c\/i\u003e), and online literature -- Melody Yunzi Li argues that the characters in these stories create multilayered maps that transcend the territorial boundaries that make finding a home in a foreign land a seemingly impossible task. In doing so, these “maps” outline a transpacific landscape that reflects the psycho-geography of homemaking for diasporic communities. Intersecting with and bridging Sinophone studies, Chinese American studies, and diaspora studies and drawing on theories of literary cartography, \u003ci\u003eTranspacific Cartographies\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how these “maps” offer their readers different paths for finding a sense of home no matter where they are.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Melody Yunzi Li","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43574302179510,"sku":"9781978829336","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781978829336_45fa3209-7c7f-4816-ba9e-7d3086f6aacf.jpg?v=1727260296","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/transpacific-cartographies","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
