Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Binghamton, 2007.

This dissertation focuses on the intersection of feminist theory, post-colonial theory and transcultural and transnational literature to investigate how notions of hybridity can be read as both manifestations and subversions of hegemonic power structures. Taking Gloria Anzaldua's idea of borderlands as a point of departure, I want to rethink notions of identity through a transnational and transcultural lens. I am particularly interested in how transnational cultural practices might present the possibility of an 'alternative globalization'. While my focus is on American post-colonial theories and literatures, I also look at less traditional transcultural/post-colonial sites, such as Germany or Austria, especially the field of migrant literature. Four writers are of particular interest to my project: Gloria Anzaldua, Helene Cixous, Sandra Cisneros and Emine Sevgi Ozdamar. There are interesting connections within and between their conceptual spaces without conflating them into one. For instance, the notion of bricolage, a form of cultural production that that I read as a form of critical transnationalism, focuses, in ways similar to the Chicano practice of rasquachismo, on transformation rather than mere opposition. This dissertation investigates how such rasquache techniques may help us reconsider notions of language, of gender and of home beyond conventional binaries. For instance, I agree with Homi Bhabha that displacement does not by necessity connote a lack of home altogether, but asks for a different understanding thereof. Following Doreen Massey, I read home as a set of relations rather than as a fixed geographical entity and, ultimately, as a space provided within text itself. The texts discussed are mostly located on the borders between 'theory' and 'fiction', thus creating yet another level of synthesis and also questioning constructed hierarchies between 'fiction' and 'reality': Rather than reading the fictional texts as examples of the theories discussed, I propose the imaginary as an important potential (or poetential) space for theorizing in itself.
