Transpacific Cartographies
examines how contemporary Chinese diasporic narratives address the existential loss of home for immigrant communities at a time of global precarity and amid rising Sino-US tensions. Focusing on cultural productions of the Chinese diaspora from the 1990s to the present including novels by the Sinophone writers Yan Geling (
The Criminal Lu Yanshi
), Shi Yu (
New York Lover
), Chen Qian (
Listen to the Caged Bird Sing
), and Rong Rong (
Notes of a Couple
), as well as by the Anglophone writer Ha Jin (
A Free Life
;
A Map of Betrayal
), selected TV shows (
Beijinger in New York
The Way We Were
), and online literature Melody Yunzi Li argues that the characters in these stories create multilayered maps that transcend the territorial boundaries that make finding a home in a foreign land a seemingly impossible task. In doing so, these “maps” outline a transpacific landscape that reflects the psycho-geography of homemaking for diasporic communities. Intersecting with and bridging Sinophone studies, Chinese American studies, and diaspora studies and drawing on theories of literary cartography,
demonstrates how these “maps” offer their readers different paths for finding a sense of home no matter where they are.
