description The US writer Maxine Hong Kingston (1940) in searching for her own identity (Asian-American, Chinese-American, Sino-American) has the necessity of recovering and giving explanation to her family story and her origins. Chinese history, traditions and folklore need to be conciliated with the new host culture; an adjustment that goes at first from a bicultural confrontation to the progressive transgenerational construction of a new transcultural identity. This project is an intertextual analysis of China Men (1980), National Book Award for Nonfiction in 1981, which focusses on spirituality and the Chinese cultural tradition (religious philosophical and mythological) and its confrontation with the cultural hegemony of Western imperialism. Cultural heritage, folk, mythology, spiritual practices and religious-philosophical traditions are constitutive parts in the identity of a person and important for shared communal values. The transnational migration experience and its inherent processes of hybridization and transculturation will turn into the creation of a new transcultural identity that claims its tradition but embraces progress. Kingston herself has a transcultural identity and introduces her own Chinese ancestral tradition into her work, which is considered hybrid Chinese American literature, as a tool for the reversal of American myths and cultural dominance/hegemony. The finality is to demystify them and legitimize the first immigrants as cofounders of what can be considered a hybrid nation in origin as well as the existence of the resulting Chinese American identity. There is a metonymical extension from her family to the collective history of Chinese Americans which implies a transgenerational transcultural identity. Examining Chinese intertextuality will make clear the oriental features and characteristics of this newly embraced transnational identity that the author is vindicating. In the intertextual analysis of Chinese philosophical elements, both in their cultural and sociopolitical influence, the main dialectics in China Men between Chinese collective and American individualist / capitalist cultural models is also reflected, what makes the identity and adaptation struggle of the Chinese diaspora more difficult.

La historia, las tradiciones y el folclore chinos deben conciliarse con la nueva cultura anfitriona; un ajuste que va en un primer momento de una confrontación bicultural a la progresiva construcción transgeneracional de una nueva identidad transcultural. Este proyecto es un análisis intertextual de China Men (1980), Premio Nacional del Libro de No Ficción en 1981, que se centra en la espiritualidad y la tradición cultural china (tradición religiosa, filosófica y mitológica) y su confrontación con la hegemonía cultural del imperialismo occidental. El patrimonio cultural, el folclore, la mitología, las prácticas espirituales y las tradiciones religioso-filosóficas son partes constitutivas de la identidad de una persona e importantes para los valores comunitarios compartidos. La experiencia de la migración transnacional y sus procesos inherentes de hibridación y transculturación darán lugar a la creación de una nueva identidad transcultural que reivindica su tradición pero abraza el progreso. La propia Kingston tiene una identidad transcultural e introduce su propia tradición ancestral china en su trabajo, que se considera literatura híbrida chino-estadounidense, como una herramienta para revertir los mitos americanos y su dominación/hegemonía cultural. La finalidad es desmitificarlos y legitimar a los primeros inmigrantes como cofundadores de lo que puede considerarse una nación híbrida en origen y la existencia de la identidad chino-estadounidense resultante. Hay una extensión metonímica de su familia a la historia colectiva de los estadounidenses de origen chino que implica una identidad transgeneracional y transnacional. El examen de la intertextualidad china mantendrá claros los rasgos y características orientales de esta identidad transnacional recientemente adoptada que el autor está reivindicando. En el análisis intertextual de los elementos filosóficos chinos tanto en su influencia cultural como sociopolítica, también se refleja la dialéctica principal en la obra entre el modelo cultural colectivo chino y el modelo individualista y capitalista estadounidense, lo que dificulta la lucha identitaria y de adaptación de la diaspora china.Máster Universitario en Estudios Lingüísticos, Literarios y CulturalesToda Iglesia, María de los ÁngelesFilología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana)2024info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/169521reponame:idUS.
