| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project attempted to examine the concepts of locality in the twentieth-century Pacific literature. The early Pacific literature typically discussed personal and tribal identities which were oppressed under Western colonialism, insisting on a more stable and unconstrained style of self. However, since 1990s, writers have been trying to discover and create a new concept of the Pacific which is to be regulated not as a counterpart of the west but as the original and autonomous, to transcend the binary opposition of Self and Other or the center and its marginality. The study has traced the transformation of the concept of locality and revealed its significance in the contemporary Pacific literature.
