摘要
Abstract
• Drawing on empirical research in London,
this article explores how young Korean, Japanese and Chinese women make
sense of
transnational lives and the media, and paradoxical
consequences for identities. It argues that the tendency to celebrate
transnational
mobility is often separated from mundane reality
and obscures actual conditions and experiences of social exclusion. It
further
argues that the ethnic media arise at the heart of
the paradox of transnational experience, as electronic mediation
intensified
by the Internet provides a necessary condition for
the possibility of diasporic nationalism. Diasporic nationalism emerges
as reactionary ethno-nationalism within global
knowledge diasporas of people who appear to be bilingual cross-cultural
negotiators
moving regularly between different cultures and
participating in exchanges across national borders. Diasporic
nationalism
becomes particularly potent and perhaps more
salient through transnational flows and movement, nationalizing both
transnational
spaces and the Internet’s simultaneously
dis-embedding and re-embedding capacities in forming a partial yet
unending connection
with home.
