THE SYNTHESIS OF EASTERN AND WESTERN CULTURES IN THE NOVEL “THE OTHER SHORE” BY YU LEEHUA
Journal Title: Науковий вісник Херсонського державного університету. Серія «Перекладознавство та міжкультурна комунікація» - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The peculiarity of transculturation in the novel “The Other Shore” by contemporary Chinese language writer Yu Leehua are studied in comparative perspective. The uniqueness of the writer’s identity is defined by her simultaneous belonging and non-belonging to both American and Chinese cultural realms. The analysis shows, that the novel, remaining Chinese in language, and rejected by mainstream Chinese literature, represents the continuation of classical artistic tradition, in allusive dialogues with “Peach Blossom Spring”, “Dream of the Red Chamber” “Romance of the Flowers in the Mirror” (1827) and considers the much concerned planetary topics of woman literature, enriching the realm of Chinese American Literature with its seminal figures of Jade Snow Wong, M.H. Kingston and Amy Tan.
