Cím:A Sri Lankan Finding and Defining Home in Australia: Sunil Govinnage's Writings / Gariella T. Espák
Dátum:2024
Megjegyzések:Australian writer of Sri Lankan descent, Sunil Govinnage's fictionalized life writing follows a New Australian through a first-generation immigrant's encounters with diversity, tolerance, acceptance, and reconciliation. His narratives and lyrics epitomize a struggle for self-redefinition in a new land, adjusting to local cultural patterns which often undermine old mental procedures and storylines. Govinnage's short story collection Black Swans and Other Stories (2002) and poetry collection White Mask (2004) assume the perspective of Sri Lankan migrants. However, they also represent voices from mainstream culture to illuminate cultural identity, Otherness, and citizenship issues in the framework of institutionalized Australian multiculturalism in the 1980s and 1990s. The chapter examines identity formation through language, naming, tradition, location, and peer pressure, filtered through theories of identity structure analysis and segmented assimilation. It argues that Othering, belonging, and multilayered and fluid affiliations determine how the here defines there, and feeling not at home or being Othered intersects with all aspects of this search for belonging. Highlighting the gap between their Sri Lankan and Australian identities, Black Swans and Other Stories and White Mask illuminate Govinnage's characters' rites of passage.
