Tesis doctoral de Antonio Paoliello
This dissertation deals with contemporary sinophone malaysian literature, and more precisely with sinitic-medium fiction written by ethnic chinese authors from malaysia in the last forty years. the specific object of study of the present dissertation is constituted by two very interconnected issues both belonging to the realm of sinophone malaysian literature: one of a more general nature – contemporary sinophone malaysian fiction -, and another of a more restricted scope – the identity construction and its representation through intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic interaction in contemporary sinophone malaysian fiction -. the main objectives i aim to reach with this research are to identify, investigate, systematize, and textually analyze a very specific body of sinitic-medium fictional writings selected among a wider number of short stories (duanpian xiaoshuo) and novellas (zhongpian xiaoshuo) produced by malaysian writers. Through this process of scrutiny, systematization, and analysis, i also aim at pinpointing a topic less researched in sinophone malaysian literary studies, yet very often explored by sinophone malaysian authors in their creative writing: how the chinese malaysian identity is shaped through the representation of the interaction between the chinese malaysian self and other identities of similar (mainland chinese) and different (malay, sarawak aboriginal, just to name a couple) ethnic backgrounds.
