This book examines the governance of Asian student and academic
mobility, which has transformed the higher education landscape.
While campuses are experiencing an unprecedented level of
diversity, knowledge creation remains explicitly Eurocentric and
dominated by the Global North. The authors advocate for a new
educational paradigm that takes into account the transcultural flow
of knowledge on campus as a public good, capitalises on Asian
students and academics' multilingual competencies, and offers them
equal access to creating quality-orientated education. The book
argues that international higher education must be grounded in both
a plurality of knowledges and the ethics of cognitive justice, and
that the governing policies should facilitate the higher education
sector to build a platform of internationalising affect and effect
on campus.
This book is a unique and original contribution to the knowledge of
transcultural engagement between the 'East' and the 'West'; notably
between China and Australia.The collection explores how the global
system universally interrelates East and West, showing how this
interrelatedness offers the promise of progress but can evoke the
counteracting trend of tribal nationalism. The book addresses the
connectedness of human progress by exploring how globalization
creates new dynamic interfaces between East and West and how rather
than clashes of culture there are growing forms of reciprocity
between civilizations and a shared awareness of how humanity is
connected through knowledge and international mobility.
What does it mean to read from elsewhere? Women Writers in
Postsocialist China introduces readers to a range and variety of
contemporary Chinese women's writing, which has seen phenomenal
growth in recent years. The book addresses the different ways
women's issues are understood in China and the West, attending to
the processes of translation, adaptation, and the grafting of new
ideas with existing Chinese understandings of gender, feminism,
subjectivity, consumerism and (post) modernism. By focusing on
women's autobiographical, biographical, fictional and historical
writing, the book engages in a transcultural flow of ideas between
western and indigenous Chinese feminisms. Taking account of the
accretions of social, cultural, geographic, literary, economic, and
political movements and trends, cultural formations and ways of
thinking, it asks how the texts and the concepts they negotiate
might be understood in the social and cultural spaces within China
and how they might be interpreted differently elsewhere in the
global locations in which they circulate. The book argues that
women-centred writing in China has a direct bearing on global
feminist theory and practice. This critical study of selected
genres and writers highlights the shifts in feminist perspectives
within contemporary local and global cultural landscapes.
This book is a distinctive collection on transcultural encounters
in knowledge production and consumption, which are situated at the
heart of pursuit for cognitive justice. It uniquely represents
transcultural dialogues between academics of Australia, China and
Malaysia, located on the borders of different knowledge systems.
The uniqueness of this volume lies in the convergence of
transcultural perspectives, which bring together diverse
disciplines as cultural studies, education, media, translation
theory and practice, arts, musicology, political science and
literature. Each chapter explores the possibility of decolonising
the knowledge production space as well as research methodologies.
The chapters engage with 'Chinese' and 'western' thought on
transcultural subjects and collectively articulate a new politics
of difference, de-centring the dominant epistemologies and research
paradigms in the global academia. Refracted through transcultural
theories and practices, adapted to diverse traditions, histories
and regional affiliations, and directed toward an international
transcultural audience, the volume demonstrates expansive
possibilities in knowledge production and contributes to the
understanding of and between research scholarship which deals with
collective societal and cultural challenges within the globalised
world we live in. It would be of interest to researchers engaged
with current critical debates in general and global scholars in
transcultural and intercultural studies in specific.
