Asian-Australian Writers: Bridging the Gap
Abstract: This paper examines
interviews with, essays and literary products by Australian migrant women
writers who migrated from their original countries in Southeast Asia. It
investigates the writers’ in-betweenness in Australia, whose cultural, social
and political rules are different. Drawing from Stuart Hall’s notion of
cultural identity and diaspora (1990) and Jacques Derrida’s idea of conditional
hospitality (2000b), this paper elaborates the migrant writers’ role in
bridging the gap of Eastern and Western cultures through their literary work.
The analysis shows that their cultural identity is transformed to narrow the
gap and this transformative process is portrayed in their work.
