Governing Asian International Mobility in Australia (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Xianlin Song, Greg McCarthy Governing Asian International Mobility in Australia (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Xianlin Song, Greg McCarthy
R1,478 Discovery Miles 14 780 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Transcultural Connections: Australia and China (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Greg McCarthy, Youzhong Sun, Xianlin Song Transcultural Connections: Australia and China (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Greg McCarthy, Youzhong Sun, Xianlin Song
R4,045 Discovery Miles 40 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Women Writers in Postsocialist China (Paperback): Kay Schaffer, Xianlin Song Women Writers in Postsocialist China (Paperback)
Kay Schaffer, Xianlin Song
R1,296 Discovery Miles 12 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Transcultural Encounters in Knowledge Production and Consumption (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Xianlin Song, Youzhong Sun Transcultural Encounters in Knowledge Production and Consumption (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Xianlin Song, Youzhong Sun
R3,128 R1,849 Discovery Miles 18 490 Save R1,279 (41%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.
