ABSTRACT

What is the place of the diasporas within the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies movement, and how can Asian diasporas in the West contribute to Inter-Asia's intellectual project of “problematising Asia”? Developing a notion of diaspora as method, this essay highlights the complementary relationship between the Asian Australian Studies Research Network and the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies network. It argues that the Inter-Asia network has much to gain from embracing the Asian Australian diaspora as an interlocutor with shared priorities and concerns, and that Asian Australian studies can also productively learn from Inter-Asia's alternative model of institutionalisation, thereby expanding its theoretical and methodological frames of reference.

摘要

侨民在亚洲文化研究运动中的位置是什么？西方的侨民如何为亚洲的“使亚洲问题化”的智力项目做出贡献？本文提出了以散居作为方法的概念，强调了亚洲澳大利亚研究网络与亚洲文化研究网络之间的互补关系。它认为，将亚洲澳大利亚人散居为具有共同优先事项和关切的对话者，可以使亚洲亚洲网络受益匪浅，而且亚洲澳大利亚人的研究也可以有效地借鉴亚洲亚洲的制度化替代模式，从而扩大其理论和实践基础。方法论参考框架。
