ABSTRACT This paper studies six South Asian American artists whose creative projects reveal the diasporic experience as a persistent negotiation of living in multiple historical and geographical locations. To fully understand the proposals made by their work I introduce the parallax view that enables us to see from two or more vantage points at once. This framework is well suited for art that seeks to expose the private traumas and contradictions that affect and order the lives of South Asian Americans. The artwork examined here also shows that living in the diaspora is not defined by a linear process of assimilation, but is often undercut, fragmented, and mediated by multiple spatial and subject positions. Out of the conditions of diaspora, these artists deploy critical strategies to survive in a society that refuses to give South Asian Americans visibility, political agency, and space to effectively participate in the public sphere.

视差观点：设想南亚裔美国侨民的艺术

摘要 本文研究了六位南亚裔美国艺术家，他们的创作项目揭示了作为在多个历史和地理位置生活的持久协商的侨民体验。为了充分理解他们的工作提出的建议，我引入了视差视图，使我们能够同时从两个或多个有利位置进行观察。这个框架非常适合试图揭露影响和安排南亚裔美国人生活的私人创伤和矛盾的艺术。这里考察的艺术品还表明，生活在散居国外的生活并不是由线性同化过程定义的，而是经常被削弱、支离破碎，并由多个空间和主体位置介导。在侨民的条件下，
