In various ways, Chinese diasporic communities seek to connect and
re-connect with their "homelands" in literature, film, and visual
culture. The essays in Affective Geographies and Narratives of
Chinese Diaspora examine how diasporic bodies and emotions interact
with space and place, as well as how theories of affect change our
thinking of diaspora. Questions of borders and border-crossing, not
to mention the public and private spheres, in diaspora literature
and film raise further questions about mapping and spatial
representation and the affective and geographical significance of
the push-and-pull movement in diasporic communities. The unique
experience is represented differently by different authors across
texts and media. In an age of globalization, in "the Chinese
Century," the spatial representation and cultural experiences of
mobility, displacement, settlement, and hybridity become all the
more urgent. The essays in this volume respond to this urgency, and
they help to frame the study of Chinese diaspora and culture today.
