Creative Writing: Poetry
Creative Writing: Poetry Wing Tek Lum, Chair, Jennifer Hayashida, and Juliana Chang In a time saturated with the upheavals of war and displacement, Cathy Linh Che’s volume Split (Alice James Books, 2014) speaks directly to the imprint left by these traumas on bodies both intimate and global. Che’s precise economy of language illustrates how lyrical attention to violence can become a mode of resistance to personal and political histories of brutal…
I Dreamed I Was Wanted: Flower Drum Song and Specters of Modernity
This essay explicates how Mei Li (Miyoshi Umeki) and Linda Low (Nancy Kwan), the Asian migrant and Asian American female leading characters in the film Flower Drum Song (dir. Henry Koster, US, 1961), oscillate between embodying the fantasies of American modernity and exposing the obscenities of US empire during the early Cold War period. While Linda embodies and enacts the pleasures of feminine spectacle, Mei Li offers an alternative, premodern m…
Inhuman Citizenship: Traumatic Enjoyment and Asian American Literature
In Inhuman Citizenship, Juliana Chang claims that literary representations of Asian American domesticity may be understood as symptoms of America’s relationship to its national fantasies and to the “jouissance” that both overhangs and underlies those fantasies. Chang shows that by identifying with the nation’s psychic disturbance, Asian American characters ethically assume responsibility for a national unconscious that is often disclaimed. To exa…
Inhuman Citizenship: Traumatic Enjoyment and Asian American Literature
This book claims that literary representations of Asian American domesticity may be understood as symptoms of America’s relationship to its national fantasies and to the “jouissance”—a Lacanian term signifying a violent yet euphoric shattering of the self—that both overhangs and underlies those fantasies. In the national imaginary, according to the text, racial subjects are often perceived as the source of jouissance, which they supposedly embody…
I Cannot Find Her: The Oriental Feminine, Racial Melancholia, and Kimiko Hahn's The Unbearable Heart
The Asian American female inhabits a position in the U.S. national unconscious that I will call the oriental feminine, a femininity produced by orientalism. Edward Said and others have noted that the "Orient" was produced discursively and epistemologically as a feminized location, (im)penetrable by the West. The metaphorical feminization of the Orient resulted in the metonymic hyperfeminization of "oriental women," as if culture compounded gender…
