Inhaltsangabe

THIS ANTHOLOGY CRITICALLY RE-EXAMINES AND RE-ARTICULATES THE DISCURSIVE BOUNDARY THAT BINDS THE REGION CALLED EAST ASIA IN ORDER TO PRODUCE TRANS-PACIFIC STUDIES. RECOGNIZING THAT THE CREATION OF REGIONAL BOUNDARIES DEPENDS ON A NEW CONFIGURATION OF BOTH INTER- AND INTRA-NATIONAL POWER RELATIONS AND THE IDEOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTS THAT GENERATE HISTORICAL, IDEOLOGICAL, AND CULTURAL EFFECTS, THIS VOLUME PROPOSES THAT THE TERM "TRANS-PACIFIC" BE MOBILIZED TO COMPLICATE THE PHRASE "EAST ASIAN" AS THE BOUNDARY OF ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE AND SOCIO-CULTURAL DISCOURSE. THE ANTHOLOGY ALSO EXAMINES THE HISTORICAL CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH "EAST ASIA" WAS CONSTRUCTED AS AN AREA AND THE TRANS-PACIFIC DIRECTIVES THAT NURTURED THE SENSE OF NATIONALITY IN EACH COMPONENT NATION OF EAST ASIA.WITH THE CONTRIBUTION OF: SUN GE (THE INSTITUTE OF LITERATURE, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES); SOYOUNG KIM (KOREAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF ARTS); HYODUK LEE (TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN STUDIES); JIE-HYUN LIM (HANYANG UNIVERSITY); LISA LOWE (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA); TESSA MORRIS-SUZUKI (THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY); NAOKI SAKAI (CORNELL UNIVERSITY), YUKO SHIBATA (SAINT JOHNS UNIVERSITY); ANNMARIA SHIMABUKU (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA); IKUO SHINJOU (UNIVERSITY OF THE RYUKYUS); HYON JOO YOO (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT).
