Abstract

Dakawaku, by Anurag Subramanai. Honolulu: Lo’ihi Press, 2021. 327 pages. THIS book tries very hard to be very clever, with a thousand literary, Pacific and other allusions dripping from every page and a writing style that is (I think) intended (perhaps) to mirror the comic prose of Swift and Boswell. There are copious faux footnotes, a false frontispiece, addenda, exhortations to the reader and other literary devices that have not been seen since the steam press was invented. It is, in short (possibly) an attempt at what we used to call a picaresque novel in first year lit.

评论:注意:假脚注和假封面

《Dakawaku》，作者Anurag Subramanai。檀香山:Lo 'ihi Press, 2021。327页。这本书非常努力地做到非常聪明，每一页都有一千个文学、太平洋和其他方面的典故，一种(我认为)有意(也许)模仿斯威夫特和博斯韦尔的喜剧散文的写作风格。书中有大量的假脚注、假扉页、附录、对读者的劝诫以及其他自蒸汽印刷机发明以来从未出现过的文学手法。简而言之，它(可能)是我们过去在第一年文学中所说的流浪汉小说的一种尝试。

期刊介绍： While one objective of Pacific Journalism Review is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has also expanding its interest into new areas of research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education. A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues: new media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of tourism and development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Pacific region. It also has a special interest in climate change, environmental and development studies in the media and communication and vernacular media in the region.
