Transcultural Encounters in Knowledge Production and Consumption
Governing Asian international students
Migration flows have shaped Australian higher education since the colonial era. In the last two decades, Asian mobility has literally changed the face of Australian campuses. Government policies and university regulations have, paradoxically, moved to reinforce a Western-centric curriculum and pedagogy. This paper investigates this paradox by examining how Asian international students in Australia are governed by a homogenised educational process…
China in Australia
China matters significantly to contemporary Australia in terms of trade relations, capital movements, education and global order. Australian public discourse on China, however, inhabits two conflicting parallel universes, one a narrative of economic complementarity, the other of fear and anxiety. The spectre of the rise of China haunts Australian society in and among these two spheres: one in which China’s economic rise is to be encouraged as a s…

Australian governments' policy conundrum
With the rise of China and it displacing Japan as Australia's major trading partner, successive Australian governments have displayed a policy conundrum: where China is regarded with ambivalence, Japan is treated as Australia's best friend in Asia with enhanced defence and diplomatic ties. This paper examines the question of how the policy conundrum has arisen in terms of issues concerning trade and human rights and Sino–Japan relations, arguing …
Women Writers in Postsocialist China
What does it mean to read from elsewhere? Women Writers in Postsocialist China introduces readers to a range and variety of contemporary Chinese women’s writing, which has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. The book addresses the different ways women’s issues are understood in China and the West, attending to the processes of translation, adaptation, and the grafting of new ideas with existing Chinese understandings of gender, feminism, subj…
Re-gendering Chinese History
Owning the Olympics
Unruly Spaces
Since the 1995 Beijing Women's Conference contemporary women's writing in China has been a privileged site for the exploration of gender relations and female specificity. After defining a specifically indigenous Chinese feminism, this paper studies four directions in women's writing that impact upon feminist practice: rural women's stories that encourage advocacy for women's rights; new historical fiction that challenges the established represent…
Writing Beyond the Wall
The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise in the global flow of knowledge, nowhere more apparent in the exchange of ideas between China and modern western democracies. Our interest concerns one aspect of this global flow— the translation of Chinese women’s autobiographical writing into English. Taking Chen Ran’s A Private Life (English edition, 2004) as a point of departure, the paper explores issues of translingual practice and cross-c…

Reconstructing the Confucian Ideal in 1980s China
In the 1980s, China underwent a period of drastic change. One of the most discussed phenomenon on the cultural front was the “culture craze” (wenhua re 文化熱). Fueled with ammunition from a range of imported “isms,” participants in the cultural debates attempted to map out national and Western cultural territories. Many intellectuals attempted to redefine what is meant by Chinese culture and to rediscover the “national essence” through their study …
Signs of the times
Dans le contexte de mondialisation, la Chine, comme le reste du monde, subit des changements culturels et linguistiques. Des neologismes et des noms etrangers apparaissent ainsi dans la langue chinoise, particulierement dans le monde des affaires, ce qui provoque de la part des politiques un appel a la resistance face a ce qu'ils considerent comme une colonisation malsaine. L'A. conceptualise le processus de la signification en retracant la traje…
Middle Kingdom Mentalities
China has a venerable tradition of intellectual concern with the welfare of the country and its people - youmin youguo . The 1980s and 1990s have witnessed something of a revival in writing on the future prospects and hopes of the Chinese nation. At the beginning of the new millennium, Chinese intellectuals are heralding the dawn of a 'Chinese century'. The aim of this paper is to provide a preliminary analysis of this emerging body of literature…
Post-mao new poetry and “Occidentalism”
Post‐Mao new poetry in the light of deconstruction
Post‐Mao Chinese new poetry may still be highly controversial in terms of its poetic experiments and the undecidablity of its position in literary history. However, its attempts to destabilise previous concepts and meanings of Chinese language have undoubtedly made a tremendous impact upon Chinese poetry, and indeed contemporary Chinese culture. In so far as the challenges to the stability of meaning are concerned, the poetic experiments of the n…
