The Double Negative Rhetoric-On the Diaspora Literature of Canada
Abstract
Discrete community and country of origin and country of residence has been the relationship between ethnic literature written an important proposition. Recent literature shows that ethnic Chinese in affiliation from the "non of this either-" to "both this and he" kind of shift. Chinese classic literature, "non of this nor that" the rhetoric of ethnic kinship motif emphasized the nationalist elements, and not as a discrete ethnic groups provide a complete sense of belonging. And "both this and he" cross-national hybridity paradigm breaking the myth of blood on the nature of the relationship, create their own "third space" of the immigrant community across the nation for the individual body and personality to create a dual ownership. Differences between the two, people have to critically assess the creative principle of discrete literary classic. The diasporic communities' relationship with their native countries and the countries of their residence has been always one of the important topics in the diasporic literature. There is a turn recently in Canadian Chinese literature that the membership of the Canadian Chinese is from "neither this nor that "to" both this and that ". The topic" neither this nor that "emphasizes on the elements of nationalism but could not provide a sense of belonging for the Chinese Diaspora. The topic" both this and that "broke the myth of blood on the nature of the relationship, and created "the third space" and a double - belonging sense for the Chinese Diaspora. From the difference of the two topics, it is necessary to reevaluate the principle of the classical Diaspora literature
