ABSTRACT

Chinese diasporas are the people who are spread worldwide and keep trying to cross national boundaries. They look similar with Jewish diasporas in one way that they are a group of immigrated people, however they are different from Jewish diasporas because Chiense diasporas are voluntarilymoved ones. These people belong to the realm of global discussion. Also, they have a plural nature in terms of transcending various cultural spaces. The purpose of this study, to deal with the Chinese literature as a glocal phenomena, has three meanings summarized below. Firstly, I seek to find contact points of both the diaspora and the globalized circumstances. Secondly, I presume the glocal which is a compounded word of global and local can be related to Chinese diasporas’ identity. Lastly, I want to assess the possibility, that the process of crisis and establishment of identity is not a unique case of the people who are in between or boundaries but the potential and future term of characters that could one day be a universal things. All the efforts that the human society has made to build differences and frontiers between one society to other societies over the past century have been put under pressure to eliminate the differences and the frontiers of demarcation. Anyone can be diaspora at any time, so we have to focus diasporic discourse better than any time in history.
