Dislocation, which involves moving from a familiar place to an
unknown place, is a common experience in this era of globalization
yet it can cause a deep sense of alienation - people feel
invisible, voiceless, and anonymous. A Hermeneutic on Dislocation
as Experience: Creating a Borderland, Constructing a Hybrid
Identity employs socio-rhetorical criticism from a postcolonial
perspective, providing a hermeneutic on the experience of
dislocation from the perspective of Asian immigrant women. The
author's focus on Asian immigrant women's spirituality is
interwoven with different texts such as the story of a woman caught
in adultery (Jn. 7: 53-8:11), Asian immigrant women's stories in
the novels Dictee and Crossings, and stories of Korean shamans
encountered in the author's ethnographic fieldwork. This book
suggests that people who experience dislocation can create a
borderland where their own marginality gains power and voice. In
that borderland, they are able to construct a hybrid identity as a
result of deep engagement with one another. In particular, the
author's fieldwork on Korean shamans reveals how the shamanic
ritual itself functions as a borderland, wherein the marginalized
Korean shamans gain hybrid identity. A Hermeneutic on Dislocation
as Experience is a valuable resource for classes in Asian studies,
ethnography, cultural anthropology, biblical spirituality, women's
spirituality, and interdisciplinary courses.
