Abstract

Diasporas are often said to live in “two worlds”. The conflicting relationship between their physical and mental states results in a fissure where symbolic and physical violence become the main drive for diaspora to survive. This violence comes not only due to these diaspora’s own inner conflicts, but also due to the discrepancies between their native and internalized culture with the external norms and values that surround them in their current stay. The theme of diaspora and violence has been recurrent in American cinematic representation. As the most recent example, an independent film entitled Everything, Everywhere All at Once delves into this issue by incorporating a storyline of a Chinese-diasporic family in the United States who encounters various problems regarding their cultural differences to their surroundings. This article seeks to examine the cultural dynamics only of Evelyn, Waymond, and Joy in the film’s storyline amidst the abundance of multiversal plot points that serve as the pivotal exposition in the film. The analyses are textually grounded based on Homi Bhabha’s notion of liminality and contextually on the differing conception of violence in Chinese and American contexts respectively. This article draws from a Taoist concept of Wu wei to interpret the latter point. This study finds that the film represents diasporic characters within a liminal space that forces them to produce their own “maneuver” in order to survive. The parental problems that Evelyn has with Joy as well as her familial and ideological problems with Waymond are found to be propelled by such culturally-laden maneuvers. The film then can be read as an allegory of Chinese-American diaspora’s liminal experience in the United States. This allegory contains an ethical stance where the idea of non-violence (wu wei) becomes the utopian message of the film.

Abstract

People’s preferences for particular brands of smartphones are inextricably linked to the variety of smartphones available in the market. As the emerging power of the world economy, China also has many smartphone brands which are highly distributed in the global market, including in Indonesia despite the negative stigma which attached to the brands. The study examines this phenomena from the scope of cultural studies using the theoretical basis of the circuit of culture (du Gay et al., 1997). The study aims to enrich the perspective on how the consumption of Chinese smartphone brands among Indonesian are regulated, produced, consumed, and represented, which further constructs the perception of how the brands’ images are perceived by the Indonesian customers. The study is conducted based on qualitative approach by observing the interaction enacted in two Facebook groups about smartphones. The analysis of the circuit of culture reveals the development of the Chinese products’ image in Indonesia. The study found that the negative image on the Chinese brands smartphones is declining among the customers. Despite the existing negative comments, the group members often recommend the Chinese brand smartphones when it comes to the functional need with affordable price. Thus, the negative perspective on Chinese brand smartphones which believed that the phones are low quality low price is promisingly shifted into worth price to performance The findings shows that Chinese smartphone brands are gaining more acceptance and positive perception among Indonesian consumers based on their affordable prices and improved quality.
