This article analyzes Ha Jin's ＂Winds and Clouds over a Funeral＂ within a Kachruvian framework. Firstly, it examines Braj B. Kachru's concepts of ＂contact literature＂ and the ＂bilingual's creativity＂ in that both of these undermine the traditional homogeneity of a monolingual conceptualization of the English language. I then offer an overview of Kachru's taxonomical model as a means of explaining the cultural, grammatical and linguistic alterations in the creativity of bilinguals, especially that of writers who use English as a second language. In this regard, and bearing in mind Haoming Gong's concept of ＂translation literature,＂ I explore Ha Jin's ＂Winds and Clouds over a Funeral＂ in terms of the linguistic processes and nativization strategies employed by this Chinese-American author in order to transfer cultural aspects from his native language, Chinese. Through this I aim to reveal and describe the hybrid nature of the work of Ha Jin, a writer who I believe is paving the way for a reassessment of Asian-American fiction in the United States. |
