克里斯托弗·b·帕特森的书
横渡太平洋的传递文化:英语文学(罗格斯大学出版社,2018年)读英语文学生产来自东南亚和北美的移民识别和揭示话语的多元治理。建筑在建立参数国外帝国主义国家资助的多元文化主义在家里证明,state-assigned民族身份在东南亚殖民多元化的痕迹,帕特森研究小文献横渡太平洋的创造性回应多元govermentality的模式。在研究这些文化社区,他发现另一个政治身份的文学表达的主题“过渡”。Engaging in these ceaseless processes of transition, which Patterson dubs "Transitive Cultures," enables individuals to maintain mobility in hyper-controlled spaces. Instead of using a national paradigm, such as "Asian-American literature," Patterson uses the term "Transpacific Anglophone literature" to describe English-language texts from Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines as well as those written by Southeast Asian migrants to Hawaii, Canada, and the mainland United States. He uses this label to emphasize the encounter and exchange that typifies transitive culture, and to stress the ideology of linguistic identities. This genealogy of an under-appreciated literary tradition explores transitive cultures in metahistorical novels, travel narratives, and in non-realist genres and offers a border-crossing method for conceptualizing and reading literature that purposefully elides multicultural categorizations.
