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.

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 …

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 …
