Literary Festivals And Cultural Consumption, Wenche Ommundsen Nov 2011

Literary Festivals And Cultural Consumption, Wenche Ommundsen

Wenche Ommundsen

o understand Ihe dynamics ofliterary festivals is to engage with the social and cultural co-ordinates of a particular manifestation of what Bourdicu calls the literary field, and to observe its production of authors and readers as well as tex Is. The reflections on festival culture assembled in th is essay take their cue, not so much from Bourdieu's ambitious project of cul tural mapping as from his insistence that the analysis of ' the social conditions of the production and reception of a work of art, far from reducing it or destroying it, in fact intensifies the literary experience' (The …

Transnational (Il)Literacies: Reading The "New Chinese Literature In Australia" In China, Wenche Ommundsen Nov 2011

Transnational (Il)Literacies: Reading The "New Chinese Literature In Australia" In China, Wenche Ommundsen

Wenche Ommundsen

THE TRANSNATIONAL "TURN" IN AUSTRALIAN LITERARY studies was the subject of lively critical debate at the time my colleagues Alison Broinowski, Paul Sharrad and I in 2008 embarked on the ARC-supported project "Globalising Australian literature: Asian Australian writing, Asian perspectives on Australian literature." Robert Dixon's 2007 essay "Australian Literature - International Contexts" charted the development of Australian literary studies from the cultural nationalist phase of the early years through to "the inter- or trans-national perspectives that have emerged in a number of humanities disciplines since the 1990s", and outlined his proposal of a research agenda for "a transnational practice of …

Productive Crisis: Cultural Citizenship In Social Theory, Wenche Ommundsen Nov 2011

Productive Crisis: Cultural Citizenship In Social Theory, Wenche Ommundsen

Wenche Ommundsen

'Cultural citizenship will always be a contested project,' writes Bryan Turner in this volume. Working with different definitions and applications, and from different disciplinary perspectives, the contributors to this book uncover the issues at stake in a project which, under scrutiny, grows larger, more complex and ever more open to contestation. This lack of consensus or unified vision in relation to cultural citizenship in no way diminishes the importance of the project, or its pertinence to the study of the contemporary social world. If anything, the widespread recognition of the need to explore the interaction between culture and citizenship at …

‘This Story Does Not Begin On A Boat’: What Is Australian About Asian Australian Writing?, Wenche Ommundsen Nov 2011

‘This Story Does Not Begin On A Boat’: What Is Australian About Asian Australian Writing?, Wenche Ommundsen

Wenche Ommundsen

With reference to recent debates about the politics of representation, this paper argues that a profound ambivalence about identity, and particularly about Asian Australian identity, is a common characteristic that marks this writing as specifically Australian. Tracing cultural contexts from the 'pathologies' of Australian multicultural debates to other transnational literary traditions, the paper issues examples from the writing of Brain Castro, Alice Pung, Ouyang Yu, Nam Le, Shaun Tan, and Tom Cho to speculate on the emergence of a new and distinct phase of transnational writing in Australia.
