Description

Treacherous Subjects: A Feminist Lens on Vietnamese Culture and Literature. Lan Duong's thought-provoking analysis explores how history has shaped the loyalties and alliances of Vietnamese artists, caught between opposing forces of nationalism, patriarchy, and communism. Duong examines the postwar cultural productions of writers and filmmakers, including those who worked in France and the United States, as they grappled with the political and historic meanings of collaboration. This investigation reveals how these themes - probing into issues of family and betrayal - are reflected in fictions such as The Scent of Green Papaya and Surname Viet Given Name Nam. By exploring the work of artists like Tony Bui, Trinh T. Minh-ha, and Tran Anh Hung, Duong shows how collaboration can lay the groundwork for both transnational feminist politics and queer critiques of patriarchy.
