“…(Vrt. Ahmed 2000;Ashcroft 2001;Brah 1996;Minh-ha 2011, 27.) Stuart Hall (1999, 71-72) puhuu moniin koteihin samanaikaisesti kuuluvista "kulttuurisesti käännetyistä" ihmisistä, joiden on tultava toimeen erilaisten toisiinsa kytkeytyvien historioiden ja kulttuurien ja toisiaan halkovien, rajatuiksi miellettyjen tilojen kanssa.…”

”Mulla on kans suomalaisuutta alitajunnassa”

Artikkelissa kuvaillaan, kuinka ryhmä nuoria somalitaustaisia naisia ja miehiä tutki kuulumisen kokemuksiaan ja paikantumisiaan performatiivisen, osallistavan tutkimuksen puitteissa toteutetuissa audiovisuaalisissa tuotannoissa. Performatiivinen tutkimusasetelma ja sen mahdollistamat fyysiset ja metaforiset kohtaamisen tilat tarjosivat kaikille tutkimukseen ja tuotantotiimeihin osallistuneille mahdollisuuden neuvotella produktioiden sisällöstä ja muodosta ja osallistua näin ”keskeneräisen tiedon” tuottamisen prosessiin. Produktioissaan osallistuvat nuoret liikkuivat ”kaipuun maisemissa”, muistojen äärellä ja konkreettisissa paikoissa. Raottaessaan moninaisia, toisiaan leikkaavia kuulumisiaan ja ylirajaisia kodin kokemuksiaan he samalla kiistivät ja mursivat stereotyyppisiä mielikuvia somalialaisista versus suomalaisista ja ”meistä” ja ”heistä”, joita median audiovisuaaliset narratiivit ja yhteiskunnalliset diskurssit heidän mielestään usein tuottavat. Audiovisuaalinen työskentely auttoi nuoria tuottamaan hybridejä kertomuksia, joissa monenlaiset kuulumisen kokemukset ja identifikaatiot ovat läsnä samanaikaisesti. He tuottivat myös kuvastoa ja puhetta, joka kyseenalaistaa, parodioi ja muokkaa suomalaisuuden kansallisia representaatioita. Heidän kokemustensa jakaminen auttoi meitä muita osallistujia tarkastelemaan kriittisesti omia tulkintojamme, toimintatapojamme ja epistemologisia lähtökohtiamme.

“…This is why Ashcroft, Griffiths and Tiffin conclude, that transculturation is "the reciprocal influences of modes of representation and cultural practices of various kinds in colonies and metropoles" ( [22], p. 213). Hence, post-colonial literature is perhaps the most profound illustration of transculturation ( [23], p. 122). Therefore, the concept of transculturation, which is coined for a cultural phenomenon, can be applied to literature.…”

Transculturalism in Tan Twan Eng’s <i>The Gift of Rain</i>

Abstract. While the growing body of research on Tan Twan Eng's The Gift of Rain (2009) focuses on the protagonist, Philip Hutton's traumatic condition, his Chinese identity, and his ambiguous identity, this study devotes particular attention to the complexity of interactions between various cultures practised by Philip. This study aims to address this gap by applying the concept of transculturalism to analyse the processes of acquiring a foreign culture and incorporating the foreign culture into traditional cultures experienced by Philip. In other words, this study employs the concept of transculturalism to examine multicultural depictions in the novel. Scholars, such as Khan, Tiwari, Sheoran and Tan C. S. who have examined multicultural depictions in various literary texts, have found that multicultural circumstances cause certain ethnic groups to lose their cultures and identities. Hence, the multicultural circumstances depicted are perceived as negative phenomena. However, this study has found that by examining the interactions between various cultures, rather than focusing on the end products such as portrayals of hybridity, the positive sides of multicultural depictions could be revealed. The transculturation process experienced by Philip shows that the new cultural practices he has created are made up of both his traditional cultures and the foreign culture he has acquired. This means that Philip does not totally lose his traditional cultures and identities. Therefore, this study concludes that multicultural depictions in The Gift of Rain could be read positively, provided that the interactions between various cultures, which resulted in the incorporation of a foreign culture into traditional cultures, are examined.
