Abstract

As one of the Four Great Classic Novels of Chinese literature, Romance of the Three Kingdoms found its way to the constellation of World Literature via translation and being adapted into the movie Red Cliff (2008) and famous video games series Dynasty Warriors (1997-now). This process further made the story of the Three Kingdom is widely known as many cinemagoers and gamers can associate themselves with the story in the form that they adore. Both processes, however, have disadvantages as they erase the Chinese cultural elements that are demonstrated in the novel. This novel is also heavily riddled with patriarchal paradigm that makes scholars consider Romance of the Three Kingdoms “masculine novel” by portraying women in a very weak position in Chinese society. This paper would try to dissect the issues of translation and women portrayal in detail by analyzing the translated work of Romance of the Three Kingdoms to see what cultural aspect that is disappear as a result of translation and dissecting the dismissive and derogative portrayal of several women characters in the novel.Keywords: Luo Guanzhong, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Feminism, World Literature

Abstract

Question of identity remains one of the most important and debatable concept in the world of postcolonial theory especially when it is related to cultural identity of the diaspora. As culture is intertwined with place of origin, diasporic community often experience difficulty to identity themselves as they are located outside their culture of origin.By using Hall’s Cultural Identity, Bhabha’s Hybridity, and Historical Biographical approach, this paper shall dissect such notion of reclaiming the diasporic’s own culture as depicted in Camila Cabello’s most famous song “Havana.” Upon closer scrutiny, what at first glance considered as a simple love song underlines the cultural notion behind it. As the singer and songwriter is Cuban, Cabello expresses a theme of longing and stake a claim of Cuban cultural identity in the character of the song despite being offered a life in America. This perspective is highlighted through essay from Cabello herself, which notes the notion of cultural exchange and the life of the immigrants.

Abstract

This study analyzes James Michener’s Hawai’i to underline how the environment was changed, altered and transformed over time based on differing paradigms of conceptualizing nature and environment. It primarily focuses on how the Native Hawai’ians, American settlers and Chinese immigrants have contrasting ways of perceiving the more-than-human world. The stages of environmental history, as underlined by Worster and Cronon argue how the differing paradigm is intertwined within the cultural contexts and socio-historical circumstances of a particular ethnicity in Hawai’i. Their paradigm manifested through social reproduction resulting from the mode of production, either instrumentalising or respecting the land. Moreover, race, social status and gender also problematize how the environment is conceptualized. From the perspective of environmental history, the environment is positioned as dynamic and changing, contrary to a prior depiction of nature as passive and static. The finding suggests that environmental perspectives in the novel Hawai’i can provide an avenue to reinterpreting human and non-human relationships by considering humanity as part of the natural world.

Abstract

This paper analyzes O.A Bushnell’s the Return of Lono from postcolonial perspective, focusing on the ambivalence of colonial discourse and the resulting contradiction which ultimately undermine Western claim of superiority. This novel dramatizes the arrival of Captain Cook’s expedition on the Hawai’ian isles from the first-person perspective of Jonathan Forrest as he reminiscences of their prior expedition. The Westerners’ view of an idealized and imagined Hawai’i constructs Hawai’i as a space which is exotic and primitive while simultaneously promotes the idea of beauty and welcoming. While previously abiding on the Western paradigm which denigrates the natives as animalistic and savage Others, Forrest’s perspective unsettles this dominant thought and contextualizes the resulting ambivalence within colonial discourse. This paper employs the concept of contact zone as stated by Pratt and also the theory of colonial discourse and ambivalence as is proposed by Ashcroft et al. The finding concurs that every exertion of colonial thought will result in resistance as by nature, the colonial discourse itself is intertwined with ambivalence.

Abstract

This research explores the themes of identity, displacement, resistance, and hope within K'naan's song "Wavin' Flag" through a postcolonial lens and a historical biographical approach. Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, K'naan experienced firsthand the turmoil of the Somali Civil War, leading to his displacement and resettlement in North America. Drawing upon his personal experiences as a Somali diaspora individual, K'naan intricately weaves together imagery, narrative, and symbolism within the song to convey the complex realities of the diasporic experience. The analysis of the song's lyrics reveals a profound exploration of K'naan's connection to Somalia, his struggles with displacement, and his resilience in the face of adversity. For the approach, this study integrates postcolonial theory with historical biographical criticism. It aims to elucidate the intricate relationship among personal experience, cultural context, and artistic expression within the Somali diaspora community. In conclusion, this research underscores the significance of "Wavin' Flag" in portraying the complex realities of the Somali diaspora experience, while highlighting the transformative power of literature to foster cultural understanding, resilience, and social change.
