This trilingual dissertation approaches the writing, thinking, and meaning-making of translingual and transcultural women authors by comparing the works of KoreanAmerican artist and writer Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, French writer and feminist thinker Hélène Cixous, born in Colonial Algeria, and French writer and experimental filmmaker Marguerite Duras, born in Colonial Vietnam. Underlying this study is the on-going and wide scholarly interest in matters of multilingualism and transnationalism. The four theory-oriented essays on which this study is based analyze what is specific to the thinking and writing of these translingual authors and how their language and meaning-formation contest several normative ideals and guiding lines in Western thinking and writing. The essays further examine what kind of corporeal modes of understanding and different ways of seeing the analyzed bodies of text explore and advance. This dissertation also introduces inventive and novel concepts. With a transdisciplinary approach, this study contributes to feminist literary theory and partakes in discussions about gender and creation in the fields of multilingual literature, literary translingualism, experimental literature, postcolonial literature, feminist philosophy, visual arts, creative writing, and literary translation. This study crosses several traditions of thought: feminist philosophy, psychoanalytic inquiry, deconstruction, postcolonial and decolonial theory, as well as translingual studies. In the “methodologies” section, I outline and advance two “methods” of close-reading as well as two “methods” of creative scholarly writing that I have applied in this study and that draw from previous feminist and literary studies. I suggest that the literary and artistic meaning-making of the three writers conveyradically multiple ways of thinking, seeing, and understanding the world.
