Abstract:
Daniel McKay’s contribution to comparative literary studies and war literature is more than significant in Beyond Hostile Lands. The Pacific War in American and New Zealand Fiction Writing as it opens up new lines of inquiry that may reconsider the broader implications of the Pacific War in literature outside the scope of Eurocentric or American-centric frameworks. Hence, the author’s comparative approach enriches the reader’s understanding of the literature of countries as disparate as New Zealand and the United States and provides a unique perspective on the legacy of this conflict in our cu

Abstract:
AbstractThe paper addresses the narrative that qualifies micro and remote islands as lands of freedom, suggesting that they can also be lands of despotism. Philosophers from Plato to Aristotle, to Thomas More, to Montesquieu and Rousseau have claimed that micro polities, preferably insular, represent the ideal society, where everyone is actively engaged in public affairs and pursues common good. Literature has represented islands as lands of freedom, opportunity, challenge, success, adventure, redemption, away from the corruption of Europe. However, in the nineteenth century a new narrative ha

Abstract:
This article suggests that comparative literature scholars may benefit from the awareness that different communities around the world subscribe to different models of mind and that works of fiction can thus be fruitfully analyzed in relation to those local ideologies of mind. Taking as her starting point the “opacity of mind” doctrine, found in the South Pacific and Melanesia, the author compares cultural practices originating in communities in which people think but do not talk publicly about others’ internal states, to those originating in communities in which people both think and talk abou

Abstract:
Frank Herbert's influential science fiction novel Dune (1965) is usually understood as a prescient work of environmentalism. Yet it is also concerned with empire, and not merely in an abstract way. Herbert worked in politics with the men who oversaw the United States’ overseas territories, and he took an unusually strong interest in Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest, particularly the Quileute Nation. Conversations with Quileute interlocutors both inspired Dune and help explain Herbert's turn toward environmentalism. This article recovers the neglected imperial context for Herbert

Abstract:
IntroductionAccounts of criminals, their victims, and their pursuers have become entrenched within the sphere of popular culture; most obviously in the genres of true crime and crime fiction. The centrality of the pursuer in the form of the detective, within these stories, dates back to the nineteenth century. This, often highly-stylised and regularly humanised protagonist, is now a firm feature of both factual and fictional accounts of crime narratives that, today, regularly focus on the energies of the detective in solving a variety of cases. So familiar is the figure of the detective, it se

Abstract:
In the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century, many Chinese residing in the United States were transnational migrants who kept close connections to their families in China by sending remittances, writing letters, and making temporary visits to the home village; transnational institutions also developed, which helped move money, information, and goods across the Pacific. Chinese diaspora archaeology is ripe to contribute to scholarship on transnationalism because of its attention to materiality, but few scholars have adopted a transnational framework or conducted research on Chinese migran

Abstract Literature In English is an increasingly international, even global, phenomenon. Writers all over the world, from the Pacific, Asia, Africa, and the West Indies as well as from the traditional centers in the British Isles and the United States, use English as a medium for fiction and poetry. One consequence has been that literature in English has become increasingly cross- or multicultural, as writing about a given culture is destined-because of its language, English, and its place of publication, usually London or New York-to have readers of many other cultures.
