1. East Asia ? Civilization 2. Postcolonialism and the arts 3. Nationalism ? East Asia ? History This anthology critically re-examines and re-articulates the discursive boundary that binds the region called East Asia in order to produce Trans-Pacific Studies. Recognizing that the creation of regional boundaries depends on a new configuration of both inter- and intra-national power relations and the ideological constructs that generate historical, ideological, and cultural effects, this volume proposes that the term ?trans-Pacific? be mobilized to complicate the phrase ?East Asian? as the boundary of academic discipline and socio-cultural discourse. The anthology also examines the historical conditions under which ?East Asia? was constructed as an area and the trans-Pacific directives that nurtured the sense of nationality in each component nation of East Asia.
