Haunting in Chinese-Australian writing
Xiong, Xiao.

Haunting in Chinese-Australian writing[electronic resource] /by Xiao Xiong. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2023. - vii, 151 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1 -- Haunting as Trauma in Birds of Passage and Her Father's Daughter -- Chapter 2 -- Haunting as Languaging in Ouyang Yu's The English Class and Selected Poetry -- Chapter 3 -- Haunting as the Supernatural in The Crocodile Fury and Playing Madame Mao.

This book examines haunting in terms of trauma, languaging, and the supernatural in works by Chinese Australian writers born in Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. It goes beyond the conventional focus on identity issues in the analysis of diasporic writing, considering how the memory of past trauma is triggered by abusive systems of power in the present. The author unpacks how trauma also brings past violence to haunt the present. This book considers how different Chinese diasporic communities present a dynamic and multiple state through partial erasure between different Chinese subcultures and other cultures. Showing the supernatural as a social and cultural product, this book elucidates how haunting as the supernatural refers to the coexistence of, and the competition between, different cultures and powers. It takes a wide-ranging view of different diasporic communities under the banner 'Chinese', a term that refers not only to Chinese nationals in terms of citizenship, but also to the Chinese diaspora in terms of ancestry, and Chinese culture more generally. In analysing haunting in texts, the author positions Chinese culture as in a constant state of flux. It is relevant to literary scholars and students with interests in Australian literature, Chinese and Southeast Asian migration writing, and those with an interest in the Gothic and postcolonial traditions.
