    The Persistence of Orientalist Stereotypes: The Representation of Chinese Americans in S.J. Rozan’s Detective Fiction Series Maritta Similä University of Tampere School of Modern Languages and Translation Studies English Philology Pro Gradu Thesis Spring 2008 Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli- ja käännöstieteiden laitos SIMILÄ, MARITTA: The Persistence of Orientalist Stereotypes: The Representation of Chinese Americans in S.J. Rozan’s Detective Fiction Series Pro gradu –tutkielma, 112 sivua + lähdeluettelo. Kevät 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amerikkalaisessa populaarikulttuurissa esiintyy paljon aasialaisiin liittyviä stereotypioita, ja orientalismi, länsimainen tapa tulkita ja kuvata itämaita, on vaikuttanut siihen, miten aasialaisia on kuvattu kirjallisuudessa. Tutkielmani käsittelee aasialaisiin, erityisesti kiinalaisiin ja kiinalais- amerikkalaisiin, liittyviä stereotypioita dekkarikirjallisuudessa. Käytän esimerkkinä ja vertailukohteena valkoisten kirjailijoiden 1920–1940 –luvuilla luomaa jännityskirjallisuutta, mutta tärkein tutkimusmateriaalini on S.J. Rozanin dekkarisarja, josta tutkin romaaneja China Trade (1994), Mandarin Plaid (1996), A Bitter Feast (1998) ja Winter and Night (2002). Tarkoitukseni on esitellä tunnetuimmat stereotypiat ja selvittää, miten niiden vaikutus näkyy Rozanin teoksissa. Teoreettiselta taustaltaan tutkielmani kytkeytyy kulttuurintutkimukseen, orientalismiin ja postkolonialistiseen tutkimukseen

This is just one of the many ridiculous tasks that Andrea Sachs was told to do while working as the assistant for Miranda Priestly, the esteemed editor of Runway magazine. Andrea is a determined girl, who ends up working for the fashion magazine trying to get a recommendation from Miranda, which could get her the job of her dreams. Andrea’s goal is to become a writer for The New Yorker, but she needs to work for Miranda for an entire year before she can get there. The Devil Wears Prada follows Andrea’s journey, as she tries to balance her personal life and her job, tries to deal with her boss, or the devil who wears Prada, and gains exclusive insight into the fashion industry as she goes. A strong part of The Devil Wears Prada is Andrea’s comical voice that helps to move the plot forward. Her amusing inner soliloquys create a light and often sarcastic tone throughout the novel. When she is in the office and Miranda’s newest husband asks her about her life, Andrea thinks: 1 What’s going on? Hmm, well, let’s see here. Really not all that much I suppose. I spend most of my time trying to survive my term of indentured servitude with your sadistic wife.
