Beschreibungen/Notizen
California Dreaming is a multi-genre collection featuring works
by Asian American artists based in California. Exploring the places
of "Asian America" through the migration and circulation of the
arts, this volume highlights creative processes and the flow of
objects to understand the rendering of California's imaginary.
Here, "California" is interpreted as both a specific locale and an
identity marker that moves, linking the state's cultural imaginary,
labor, and economy with Asia Pacific, the Americas, and the world.
Together, the works in this collection shift previous models and
studies of the "Golden State" as the embodiment of "frontier
mentality" and the discourse of exceptionality to a translocal,
regional, and archipelagic understanding of place and cultural
production. The poems, visual essays, short stories, critical
essays, interviews, artist statements, and performance text
excerpts featured in this collection expand notions of where
knowledge is produced, directing our attention to the particularity
of California's landscape and labor in the production of arts and
culture. An interdisciplinary collection, California Dreaming
foregrounds "sensing" and "imagining" place, vividly, as it hopes
to inspire further creative responses to the notion of emplacement.
In doing so, California Dreaming explores the possibilities
imagined by and through Asian American arts and culture today,
paving the way for what is yet to be.
