Introduction, Wenche Ommundsen, Michael Leach, Andrew Vandenberg
Wenche Ommundsen
What some have dubbed 'the new world disorder' of the early 21st century has forced the human and social sciences to re-examine a number of their concepts and theories. One such concept is citizenship. The twin challenges of globalisation and cultural diversity have unsettled such seemingly central assumptions as the primacy of the nation-state and the relative cohesion of its citizenry. It has thus become necessary to rethink what it means to be a citizen, at a local, national, or global level, and to ask what civil, political, social, and cultural rights may be gained, or lost, in the rush …

Writing As Cultural Negotiation: Suneeta Peres Da Costa And Alice Pung, Wenche Ommundsen
Wenche Ommundsen
Mina Pereira, the narrator of Suneeta Peres da Costa's novel Homework, is born with feelers on top of her head:small protuberances, or antennae, which grow bogger at times of emotional stress. 'She might be a little bit sensitive, thats all' (Peres da Costa, 1999:5), her parents explain, defending their daughter against insensitive strangers accusing her of being an alien, and extraterrestrial, a mutant. Mina is sensitive, as is the young protagonist of Alice Pung's autobiographical narrative Unpolished Gem, sensitive to their difference as reflected in the eyes and behaviour of schoolmates and friends, sensitive, in particular, to cultural …

In Ren Jia Country: Negotiating Cultural Belonging In Diaspora, Wenche Ommundsen
Wenche Ommundsen
This chapter examines some of the complexities of cultural, ethnic, and national belonging that confound the simple equation between culture and citizenship. The main focus is a case study conducted in 2000 and 2001 within the Chinese community in Australia. Without arguing that the findings are equally valid for all times, all diasporic populations, or within all national contexts, the study shows that they exemplary diversity of the Chinese-Australian community makes it an ideal site in which to examine the variables of cultural belonging.
Special Issue: Australian Literature In A Global World - Introduction, Wenche Ommundsen, Tony Simoes Da Silva
Special Issue: Australian Literature In A Global World - Introduction, Wenche Ommundsen, Tony Simoes Da Silva
Wenche Ommundsen
This Special Issue of JASAL is based on the 2008 ASAL conference ‘Australian Literature in a Global World’ at the University of Wollongong, the conference theme in turn inspired by an ARC Discovery project, ‘Globalising Australian Literature’, currently conducted by a team of researchers at the same institution. The overall (and hugely ambitious) aim of both conference and research project was to explore the effects, on the national literature, of different aspects of globalisation: transnational flows of people, ideas and cultural forms; globalisation in the publishing and education industries; the global marketplace for cultural production. The papers tap into a …

Work In Progress: Multicultural Writing In Australia, Wenche Ommundsen
Wenche Ommundsen
Multiculturalism, write Pnina Werbner, is 'an important rhetoric and an impossible practice'. My morning news paper on Australia Day 2006 reminded me of just how important, and how impossible, Australian multiculturalism remains three decades after its inception. 'PM claims victory wars', read the front-page headline. The article, a report on John Howard's address to the National Press Club, details the Prime Minister's retreat from the 'excesses of multiculturalism' and the 'black armband' view of history associated with the Keating Labor government (1991-96), and his conviction that the 'divisive, phoney debate about national identity' has come to an end, replaced by …
