Outline of Final Research Achievements

All three researchers have visited different countries on the fieldwork―Cuba, Mexico, France and Austria―and exchanged academic ideas on the writing of “diaspora” with foreign researchers and philosophers. Then we have invited three foreign researchers for the international symposium on the writing on “diaspora” entitled “Creating the World Literature: Diaspora, Trans-ethnicity, and Language Struggle.” The invited researchers were Professor Christine Ivanovic from University of Vienna, Professor Lydia Mischkulnig from University of Applied Arts of Vienna, and Professor Leopoldo Federmair from Hiroshima University. We have modified our speech and added questions and answer for the English proceedings. Finally, we have comparatively and multilaterally examined and integrated our thoughts on the writing of “diaspora” from the perspective of historical implications and language hybridization.
