Identity Display and Transformation: a Socio-Cultural Analysis of Suyin Han’S Autobiography, a Many-Splendoured Thing Identity display and transformation: A socio-cultural analysis of Suyin Han’s autobiography, A Many-Splendoured Thing Shujing Qiao A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sydney School of Education and Social Work Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2020 i Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. ii Abstract This thesis is a qualitative study of Suyin Han’s identity display, transformation and negotiation as shown in her autobiography A Many-Splendoured Thing (Han, 1952). Informed broadly by a sociocultural perspective, the study examines three research questions: (1) What are the different layers of Han’s identity exhibited in this writing and how is each unfolded in her writing? (2) What are the factors that help contribute/ or not to the display and transformation of Han’s complex identity? (3) How is the complexity of her identity displayed in the process of Han’s writing of her autobiography? To address these research questions, mixed methods are used to analyse Han’s writing of her autobiography including narrative analysis (De Fina, Schiffrin & Bamberg, 2006) and critical discourse analysis (Blommaert & Bulcaen, 2000). Data are categorized according to four different facets of identity emerging in her writing: Han’s ethnic identity (more of one’s cultural heritage related to their ancestry); her racial identity (more of one’s appearance differing from people of other races); her cultural identity and her professional identity. A five-principle framework (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005) is employed to interpret Han’s different identity facets: Identity is an emergent product in language interactions; an individual’s identity positioning is realized by socially positioning both themselves and others in varied contexts; identity is an indexical process in which it is linked with specific linguistic forms; identity is an intersubjective phenomenon depending on social relations with others; identity is a partial account that is in part a purposeful self-performance and in part an unaware self-disclosure. This study is different from the prior studies of Suyin Han, and it is a detailed identity analysis of multiple identities of Han as unfolded in her autobiography. The findings provide a set of empirical evidence highlighting the dynamics and their interplay in the complex process of identity transformation and display related to the specific social and iii cultural circumstances. The study also broadens the applicability of the sociocultural five-principle framework in analysing one person’s multiple identity layers revealed in a time continuum as set out in an autobiography. Prior to bringing together the arguments by way of drawing conclusions, limitations to the interpretation of the conclusions because of the methodology of the study are also identified. iv Acknowledgements During these years of my doctoral candidature, I must admit that I was not a very good scholar. I sincerely thank my supervisor, Prof. Huizhong Shen, who supported me in both my study and life in Sydney. Prof. Shen has been so patient with me in helping me to build the conceptualization of my thesis, encouraging me at each stage, and discussing with me the final revisions. Moreover, from the beginning of my study, I had a long period of non-adaptation locally, during which Prof. Shen cared for me whenever I suffered from physical illness and emotional anxiety. Without Shen, I don’t think I would have survived and reached this stage of my study. I was so lucky to marry in Sydney, especially as, after my marriage I made much greater progress with my thesis. I am so grateful to my husband, Shichang Wen, for all his love and support. Feeling safe has helped me focus on my thesis writing as I am no longer thinking much about other trivial matters. During these years I have met a lot of sensational companions. I heartily thank Dr. Chen Chen, Dr. Tiefu Zhang, Dr. Xiangyi Tao, Dr. Wenchao Tu, Chuan Gao, Yijun Zhou, who are always by my side when I need them. Their friendship always warm me, and their academic attitudes set a standard for me. I also give my deep gratitude to Suyin Han, who wrote the autobiography A Many- Splendoured Thing (Han, 1952), the research text of my thesis. As a researcher and a fan of Han, I know unfortunately I will never have chance to meet her in person, but her insightful observation of China in the past century shed lights on my understanding of my country. Similarly as a transnational individual, by positioning Han, I also learn to how to position myself. v Of course, thousands of thanks to my parents who have been standing with me, forever. I hope I have not let you down. Special thanks to my proof-reader, Dr. Libby Limbrick. During the unprecedented time when she was doing the proofreading of my thesis, we reminded each other “stay healthy, stay safe” every time we emailed each other. I am so moved by her beautiful language, rigorous scholarship and tenderness. She is not just an excellent proof-reader, but also a very warm friend. Last but not least, thanks to all scholars who inspired my current study. Thank you for your work, which I have used for my references. It was not possible for me to fulfil my study without your studies. vi Table of contents Statement of Originality ....................................................................................................................ii Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................................... v Table of contents .............................................................................................................................vii List of Figures .................................................................................................................................. ix Chapter 1 Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Research background .......................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Research purpose ................................................................................................................ 2 1.3 Research questions .............................................................................................................. 3 1.4 Conceptualization of the study ............................................................................................ 4 1.5 Significance of the study ..................................................................................................... 5 1.6 Organization of the thesis .................................................................................................... 7 Chapter 2 Literature review .............................................................................................................. 9 2.1 Research on the identities of diaspora individuals and groups.......................................... 10 2.1.1 Second language learning and multilingual experience on identity ....................... 10 2.1.2 Individual’s heritage language experiences and their identity ............................... 13 2.1.3 Language ideologies and individual’s identity orientation ..................................... 17 2.1.4 Individual’s unique language features and their identity ........................................ 25 2.1.5 Mixed social and cultural factors and individual’s identity.................................... 30 2.2 Research on the identities of non-diaspora individuals and groups .................................. 35 2.2.1 The impact of language policies on individual’s identity ....................................... 36 2.2.2 The interplay between language learning and individual’s identity development.. 38 2.2.3 Specific identity facet development related to unique contexts or personal specifics ......................................................................................................................................... 39 2.2.4 The relationships between language features and identity ..................................... 52 2.3 Summary of the chapter .................................................................................................... 56 Chapter 3 The sociocultural theoretical framework ........................................................................ 58 3.1 Identity as a socially and culturally situated product ........................................................ 58 3.2 The five-principle framework as the theoretical framework and the analytical tool ......... 62 3.2.1 The emergence principle ........................................................................................ 62 3.2.2 The positionality principle ..................................................................................... 63 3.2.3 The indexicality principle ....................................................................................... 64 3.2.4 The

  • CONTEMPORARY CHINA: a BOOK LIST (Winter 1999 — FIRST ON-LINE EDITION, MS Word, L&R Margins 0.9") by Lynn White
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST (Winter 1999 — FIRST ON-LINE EDITION, MS Word, L&R margins 0.9") by Lynn White This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of the seminars WWS 576a/Pol. 536 on "Chinese Development" and Pol. 535 on "Chinese Politics," as well as the undergraduate lecture course, Pol. 362; --to provide graduate students with a list that can help their study for comprehensive exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not too much should be made of this, because some such books may be too old for students' purposes or the subjects may not be central to present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan. Students with specific research topics should definitely meet Laird Klingler, who is WWS Librarian and the world's most constructive wizard. This list cannot cover articles, but computer databases can. Rosemary Little and Mary George at Firestone are also enormously helpful. Especially for materials in Chinese, so is Martin Heijdra in Gest Library (Palmer Hall; enter up the staircase near the "hyphen" with Jones Hall). Other local resources are at institutes run by Chen Yizi and Liu Binyan (for current numbers, ask at EAS, 8-4276). Professional bibliographers are the most neglected major academic resource at Princeton.

Modern archaeological studies provide evidence of still more ancient origins in a culture that flourished between 2500 and 2000 B.C. in what is now central China and the lower Huang He ( orYellow River) Valley of north China. Centuries of migration, amalgamation, and development brought about a distinctive system of writing, philosophy, art, and political organization that came to be recognizable as Chinese civilization. What makes the civilization unique in world history is its continuity through over 4,000 years to the present century.

  • Epistemological Checkpoint: Reading Fiction As a Translation of History1
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 9, No 1 (2014) Epistemological Checkpoint: Reading Fiction as a Translation of History1 Fiona Lee National University of Singapore, Asia Research Institute The Malayan Emergency, a war between the British colonial government and the communists, is cited as a rare model of success in the 2007 Counterinsurgency Field Manual published by the United States Army and Marine Corps (Dixon). During the Emergency, which lasted from 1948 to 1960, the colonial government embarked on a large-scale forced resettlement program that displaced up to half a million rural dwellers, 85 percent of whom were ethnic Chinese, from the jungle periphery into heavily patrolled camps (Ramakrishna 126). Masterminded by the British General Sir Harold Briggs, the resettlement plan was designed to sever the contact between the guerrilla troops hiding in the interior jungles and their civilian support network, the Min Yuen or People’s Movement, on which the former relied for intelligence and food supplies. In addition, the British implemented a national registration system, issuing identity cards to anyone above the age of 12, to regulate civilian movement and weed out communists; food-restricted areas were also designated to curb civilians from smuggling food to the communists. Although initially beset with setbacks, the counter-insurgency eventually forced the communists’ retreat and facilitated the 1957 transition of power to a postcolonial government, helmed by the conservative National Alliance (Barisan Nasional) sympathetic to British economic interests. Described by the British High Commissioner, Sir Gerald Templer, as an effort at winning “hearts and minds,” the Emergency measures were effectively presented as a primarily political activity that appealed to the people’s emotions and reason, and required minimal military force to win the people’s loyalty to the government (qtd in Dixon 7).

  • Interracial Experience Across Colonial Hong Kong and Foreign Enclaves in China from the Late 1800S to the 1980S
    Volume 14, Number 2 • Spring 2017 Erasure, Solidarity, Duplicity: Interracial Experience across Colonial Hong Kong and Foreign Enclaves in China from the late 1800s to the 1980s By Vicky Lee, Ph.D., Hong Kong Baptist University Abstract: How were Eurasians perceived and classified in Hong Kong and China during this hundred-year period? Blood admixture was only one of many ways: others included patrilineal descent, choice of family name, and socio-economic background. Family-imposed silence on one’s Eurasian background remained strong, and individual attempts to erase one’s Eurasian identity were common for survival reasons. It is no wonder that government authorities often had difficulty quantifying their Eurasian population. What experiences of erasure of Eurasianness were shared both collectively and individually? A strong sense of Eurasian solidarity was manifested in different forms, such as intermarriage and community cemeteries. Duplicity was another common element in their experience: Name-changing practices and submission to the new Japanese government during the Occupation sometimes rendered Eurasians suspect during and after wartime. Memoirs reflect the constant psychological harassment of Eurasians in patriotic Chinese schools during 1940s Peking and in Tsingdao, and Eurasians became frequent targets for criticism during the Maoist Era. Many Eurasians experienced psychological and physical torment as their very faces were evidence enough to subject them to criticism and punishments.
