Böcker av Emily Sun

On the Horizon of World Literature compares literary texts from asynchronous periods of incipient literary modernity in different parts of the world: Romantic England and Republican China. These moments were oriented alike by "world literature" as a discursive framework of classifications that connected and re-organized local articulations of literary histories and literary modernities. World literature thus provided-and continues to provide-a condition of possibility for conversation between cultures as well as for their mutual provincialization.

Emma is under pressure from her parents and her strict aunt to plan the perfect Chinese New Year party, but what will they think when she wants to have a Chinese-American version of the holiday?

The poems in Emily Sun's debut poetry collection Vociferate were inspired by diasporic-Asian feminist writers. Like these writers, Emily resists both Eurocentric and patriarchal tropes as she explores the complexities of national and transnational identities, reflects upon the concept of belonging, and questions what it means to be Asian-Australian.

Offers an original way of thinking literary history and a new approach to the question of the relations between literature and politics in modernity
